    1. Article Writer

    Once upon a time, humans liked to read articles written by other humans. Since these human writers were capable of doing more than just predicting the next token, they were able to maintain a sense of coherency and continuity through their articles and could write lists that referenced other items, especially when they were closely related, instead of each item just following an intro, brief description, conclusion format that gets quite repetitive. But then text predictors got good enough to predict coherent sentences that are often even accurate and can follow a given theme or topic and websites thought no one would care since it was mostly marketing and propaganda by then anyways and dropped the human writers into active volcanoes.


  • I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that as a puzzle before.

    Actually looks like a pretty good (difficult) puzzle, what with how prevalent the blue is. I just did one that has a similar amount of dark purple and it was a nice challenge (paired with a rule against examining pieces and the picture at the same time, as doing that trivialized the puzzle I did before that one).




  • Or ask if round earth is a massive conspiracy, what’s the angle? How does getting people to believe in a flat earth rather than a round one serve an agenda to the point where even a simple test that could prove the flatness always “goes wrong”? And if they say that the experimenters get threatened or something, why do they generally remain as confused flat earthers afterwards? If they were going to be threatened, why half-ass it and let them continue pushing flat earth instead of making them change sides?






  • What an entitled and dumb twat. I guess he didn’t think it through that the guy maintaining it now doesn’t have some magical ability to tell who would be a good new owner and “handing over the mainline” to any one person could screw people more than any AI changes because that new person might be malicious or neglectful.

    Forks need to earn trust and it’s best that that step isn’t skipped by some inheritance. Not that there even is any obligation to hand it off no matter how many people rely on it or complain.

    And the comparison with ms or Google was dumb because I didn’t expect them to do it the way I wanted and stopped using what I could to get away from where they were going and any expectation that they hand over their projects to someone else would be ridiculous (and Google open source projects have been forked).



  • Or just do it like reddit did, where you can delete your post content and remove your username from it, but the thread and comments remain.

    Though with how the fediverse works, it’s possible to spin up a custom instance that highlights deleted content instead of deleting it, meaning the attempt to get rid of it can be what brings it more attention if anyone has decided to do it. Just like with vote identities, they aren’t anonymous and there are instances/sites that just show who voted for what.
