It will take a while to get away from the centralized world view of Reddit. To me, instances are like countries with their own constitution (rules) and police (mods). This means that two communities in different instances may seem the same, but they are not, because they have to follow the rules and culture of their instance.
Just like a PS5 club in Germany will not be the same as the PS5 club in the US because they will be culturally different. I think it will take some time for the Fediverse to think this way.
It's all about transparency and giving you the choice to opt in. When it comes to KDE, you can clearly see what is being sent to help the developers. The same cannot be said for Windows and closed source software.
For the fun of it, here's a summary written by ChatGPT regarding its overlord's plan for AI governance:
OpenAI and other leading AI labs, coordinated by the White House, are making voluntary commitments to increase the safety, security, and transparency of AI technologies. These practices are designed to guide AI governance and will remain in effect until related regulations are established.
Key commitments include:
Red-teaming of models to identify potential misuse, societal risks, and security concerns. Companies commit to advancing research in this area and will publicly disclose their red-teaming and safety procedures.
Promoting information sharing between companies and governments regarding trust and safety risks, emergent capabilities, and attempts to bypass safeguards.
Investment in cybersecurity and insider threat safeguards to protect proprietary and unreleased model weights.
Encouraging third-party discovery and reporting of issues and vulnerabilities in AI systems.
Developing mechanisms to allow users to understand if audio or visual content is AI-generated. This includes the creation of provenance and/or watermarking systems for AI-generated content.
Reporting model capabilities, limitations, and domains of appropriate and inappropriate use publicly, including discussion of societal risks such as fairness and bias.
Prioritizing research on societal risks posed by AI systems, including harmful bias, discrimination, and privacy protection.
Commitment to developing frontier AI systems to help address society’s greatest challenges like climate change, cancer detection and prevention, and cyber threats.
These commitments are applicable to generative models more powerful than the current industry standard models.
I have to say, it's also a subculture of it. When I used to participate in r/patientgamers, a lot of people (myself included) realised that we didn't care about the latest releases because of our responsibilities (and maturity), and many of us preferred short to long.
Welcome to the Patient Gamers world. Now that I'm in my late 30s with responsibilities, I'll take a short linear game (e.g. Mafia Definitive Edition) with a compelling story over long, repetitive games (e.g. Assassin's Creed). Quality over quantity for me. Since I don't have a lot of time, I want to spend some quality time with the game.
sigh, As a Canadian, I find it odd that the US doesn't have independant and non-partisan agencies responsible for running elections.
For instance, the federal elections are conducted by Elections Canada (https://www.elections.ca/home.aspx), Ontario provincial elections are conducted by Elections Ontario (https://www.elections.on.ca/en.html), Québec provincial elections are conducted by Élections Québec (https://www.electionsquebec.qc.ca), etc.
