I think about this comic probably once a week at this point. I don’t know if anyone will ever be able to boil the problem down any further than what’s here — “but what if we make a better world for nothing?”
Unfortunately I have tried to show this to people, or use the line that illustrates it, and the gist of the general response is “my comfort comes before our safety.”
America’s obesity epidemic is a function of our car culture. This is the only country on God’s green Earth that feels putting in sidewalks is a moral failure.
It’s nuts, but once I learned that it was just an LLM doing content moderation (and probably the appeals, too), things made a lot more sense.
Spez is the exact kind of guy who would believe that community moderation is an “unsolved problem” and not, y’know, perfectly solvable by the same ol’: ya hire people to do it.
Yeah, honestly, the way things are set up isn’t perfect. I maintain a few accounts on different instances just to fan out what content I get. The Fedi is always gonna have issues with moderation and federation, I just don’t see it as a good enough reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Spez loves Elon. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was bending the knee to try and get Elon to buy Reddit.
Well, I did that on my own to be honest. Not anymore, though, lol.
Yeah I’ve been wondering if I actually got banned because I used old.reddit and a hacked Reddit mobile app.
I’m so glad to see lemmy.world so active.
I knew a Reddit admin IRL for a year or so back in 2010 or so. I visited him in the hospital when he was diagnosed with leukemia. I got my marrow tested to try and be a donor for him, and that bitch still doesn’t remember me.
I got banned after 15 years for asking why we can’t organize to cyberbully Trump’s current head of social media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Cheung_(political_advisor)?wprov=sfla1
This was in response to the White House calling Garcia a terrorist on their Twitter account.
You know, it pisses me off a special kind of way to know that there is currently functionally no difference between a 15 year old stoner using ChatGPT to generate a paper and the people operating at the highest levels of global policy creating sweeping policy changes.
‘Rule by Collective Unconscious’ certainly feels like a new idea. If anyone is looking for a good scifi short story prompt, have at it! My only request is that you name the inevitably evil AI “Thoreaux”, please. TIA
