Great ideas, poor execution

I agree. He’s not perfect but I think he’s coming from the right side of things.

Ultimately antics that get clicks still motivate what he does tho

Right? I learned how to block channel in FreeTube motivated entirely so I don’t have to see his stupid face in my recommendations

I feel like we’ll find out this was engineered for clicks by them.

It’s ok. They don’t.

As long as they have a tech billionaire in charge they should be fine.

They could also rename the project to: “The AI Archive” and add lots of buttons with multicolor gradients.

I think reasonable people know it won’t work like that and ultimately you can’t make this stuff without humans.

The real answer is remembering that ALL of this stuff, even the farms full of AI running Nvidia cards are RUN BY HUMANS.

The “means of production” (I’m sure that won’t piss brigaders off) is still controllable by the masses.

Like wake the fuck up. Either you sleep walk into a few decades long mess of boring LLM stuff and destroyed commercial art. Or you form unions at every level.

Right from the power company that cuts power to poor areas to power server farms or the developers at EA writing the pipelines for LLM training.

Every single group needs to say no or stop or whatever.

It’s totally possible. Anyone that tells you differently is stealing from you and destroying your future.

https://cwa-union.org/ here’s one to start…

Anyone one of you reading this that could get affected by this (can’t think of anyone who isn’t honestly) needs to stop and take 20 mins to find something to do about it, or you’re just complicit by inaction. (And in my mind a shitty person)

In their defense their just keeping up with the standard in other publicity owned companies. Don’t wanna rock the boat you know.

(This is a joke, please join a union in your field. Union strong motherfuckers!)

The irony of climate scientists ignoring a problem and waiting until it’s far to late to do something is honestly pretty funny…

At this point it’s wholly on you if you’re still using twitter.

You’d think smart people like science nerds would have left the Nazi bar ages ago.

Pretty sure the first order of business is going to be to remove those laws.

Emergency charter are not the same as a “personal jet used by CEO”, but I get what you’re saying.

The core issue is really that the wasteful uses of this amazing technology (flight) far far far outnumber the useful ones.

Its REDUCE, Reuse, and recycle.

We need to reduce and eliminate wasteful consumption. Not throw useful tools out with the bath water (to butcher an analogy)

And the current system is working so well too!

Security nightmare as well

Nope: Lift foot out. Flip back. Foot in, adjust strap.

Capitalism is the problem. Greed is the reason. I like that shitty idiots are fighting other shitty idiots because I think it’s funny… but neither parties are good guys

Only scroll after watching an ad

But… How? What’s stopping people from cross posting ? Creating new subreddits that mirror closed ones?

I mean that’s a lot of effort for very little reward…

You would maybe not be surprised to know that there is way waaaaay more in common from one software project to another. Especially games which essentially all use one of a handful of game engines and asset sources.

I think proper codifying engineering standards for software would also help… maybe even should happen first.

They still… to this day… source Twitter in news articles. They still embed tweets.

Give me very little hope that the world can resist fascism if they can’t stop using a website.

And EVERY single news organization in the US uses it both as their primary platform AND source for news.

Even fucking NPR. What the actual fuck is that about ?

90% of screenshots on Lemmy are from Twitter ffs. It boggles my mind, and I am not easily boggled.
