Wow, if you’re not a troll you’re a real idiot

FWIW:

1. Around then, captchas were turned off by default for a short period of time (very stupidly, IMO), if I remember correctly, and a lot of bots were registered on a good number of instances. It was also when a lot of new instances were sprouting up because Lemmy was just gaining momentum.
2. I have personally let certain things I host go on for years without checking them, because developers have ADHD more often than not, and autopay will keep your zombie in service for a long time if it’s not making a dent big enough to make you shut it down (hosting a low-activity anything is not usually very expensive).

Not impossible that it’s just an absent admin.

I’m pretty sure they’re just referring to using the techniques to replicate things after learning, not hallucinating the whole game as if it would be a 1:1 copy.

I’m not the person you responded to, but:

A textual prompt is stimulus for an LLM in almost exactly the same way that a verbal prompt is stimulus for your language center, and your language center alone is not capable of conscious thought, nor is it plastic over the course of that single stimulus response; it has static “weights” as well when computing its response. The language system is just one system out of many interacting ones that lead to conscious thought. There’s no magic here making consciousness happen in the human brain but not on silicon. It will emerge as the systems we build grow more complex.

Don’t hurt me like this.

“Is it right?” Are you kidding? Yes, it’s obviously a better alternative than invading another country and killing people. It’s one of the ways we have learned, as a species, to avoid massive wars and losses of life. If you’re advocating for war as an alternative then you should fuck off and die so you don’t get other people killed in the process.

Respectfully, I think it’s just you. Ethereum smart contracts are universally publicized and utilized in the crypto community, and it’s why people were/are interested in the project. Many other coins are built on top of this technology. It’s pretty foundational. If you look into crypto any deeper than just buying and selling it, then the topic should have come up pretty much immediately.

Yeah, they claim that as of 2022 they had trillions of messages in their database, and this website claims four billion messages are sent per day as of 2022, apparently according to Discord, although I wasn’t able to verify that source.

No, it’s definitely still valuable. It’s one of the biggest repositories of human-to-human communication on the web. I’m sure it will be even more valuable moving forward because you don’t want to train LLM models on LLM-generated stuff, and there isn’t as much incentive on a platform like Discord for bots to masquerade as users… unlike on a persistent public and searchable forum like Reddit, where there are obvious incentives to fabricate posts and comments to sell stuff/astroturf/spin public opinion. Bots exist, of course, but they’re identifiable and can be excluded.

This is a great point that I haven’t heard before, and it seems intuitively correct. Considering overall economic mobility has gotten worse over the decades, I suppose one way you could validate this is by looking at the stats for economic mobility differentiated by… academic success? Measured IQ? Skill acquisition? None of those are good isolated indicators but maybe there’s a good measure where you can say “economic mobility increased for skilled people over time, but decreased for less-skilled people over the same time period.”

This is not a criticism of your point, by the way. I think you’re right. Just wondering exactly how right.

Spoken like a foreign bad actor

I’ve had the same simple point since the beginning of this conversation. In fact, I initiated the conversation by replying to you, so I set the topic of conversation, and I haven’t wavered from it. Care to answer my question that you avoided?

IMO, the average person not embracing the fediverse has much less to do with any flaws in the fediverse (these do exist, don't get me wrong) and much more to do with inertia, the network effect, and just lack of knowledge or fucks to give about privacy and open platforms.

It’s also probably hugely impacted by a lack of advertisement and corporate backing. That’s just the way it goes.

So, by your logic, you hate the people of the United States, right?

You understand that even a democratic government can be oppressive, right? You can absolutely dislike a government without disliking the people it represents.

Um, yes you obviously can

Well, that first paragraph is likely to be unironically very close to the truth.

But… it is a confederation. Is it not? Why wouldn’t they? Even Wikipedia mentions confederation in the first paragraph of the EU entry:

The EU has often been described as a sui generis political entity combining the characteristics of both a federation and a confederation.

With this Supreme Court and federal judge stack? Who decides constitutional issues? Who’s going to challenge the Supreme Court legally? The majority GOP senate? Or the majority GOP house of representatives? He has all three branches of government. Who can challenge all three legally? Anyone with a chance (vast wealth) were sitting behind him at the inauguration. In the sense of “checks and balances,” he literally has unchecked power.
