Right around the same time they started turning against trans folks. Almost like there's been a change in management.

Lol from Wikipedia, "Chick sexing is the method of distinguishing the sex of chickens and other hatchlings." For further context, this is done by a highly trained individual who is able to briefly look at the cloaca of a chick and immediately recognize their sex. They are even known to be able to perform this on two chicks at the same time (one in each hand). Joshua Foer briefly talks about it in his book Moonwalking with Einstein where he attributes the skill to the incredible ability of humans to perform rote memorization. I think it is better understood as an example of the incredible abilities of these sorts of neural networks (digital and biological) for pattern identification.

Happy to see it! Have you guys reached out to the mods of this community yet? Some high profile communities that have migrated from reddit have merged with existing communities (See !android@lemdro.id)

In the bio-tech space specifically, most of these recent advancements (e.g. protein folding) are a direct result of advancements in Deep Neural Networks. This is because things that are impossible to model explicitly without a working understanding of the system are easily understood by a neural network. The reasons for this are precisely the same reasons why we ourselves are so good at the task. For a real world example of humans being applied to a similar task, look up the Japanese educational industry around chick sexing.

I really think we'll start seeing actual improvements as open source alternatives replicate corporate functionality. Existing options are a mess (particularly in a professional setting) for folks to try to implement as they have unstable business models and dubious ideas about intellectual property. See OpenAssistant for an example of where I think these models are headed.

In a similar vein, I've also seen Nextcloud used for this purpose.

Great time to plug !horror@lemmy.ml

In a similar vein, I would love to see a fediverse Letterbox.

Even the NYT has been pretty shady recently. Particularly in regards to their trans coverage. Here's the story from GLAAD and on NPR.

Not useful for finding people to follow but you now can also populate your feed with Lemmy communities. Also check out a.gup.pu !

I think this is so disingenuous. There's such a huge difference between being actively tracked and monetized in ways that are explicitly hidden from you vs all of your posts being intrinsically public and cached. To act like the first is fine and the second is risky is just big tech propaganda.

You should know you'll lose the outbound queue of interactions everytime you restart. I was also under the impression that the big this was supposed to be a work around for had been fixed in 0.18.

The only problem with this is that the Threads privacy policy states that if one of their users interacts with YOU, it gives them the rights to scrape and sell your data.

Unironically, yes absolutely.

Nobody wants Meta's manipulated content. Let's not forget why we call them Meta.

They do but primarily through SSO services and platform partnerships. This is their bridge into monetizing the broader fediverse.

Training AI and selling information directly are very different in the eyes of the law.

What's worse, they'll do it if somebody from Threads interacts with YOU

Further context from the Threads privacy policy.

It states: "Information From Third Party Services and Users: We collect information about the Third Party Services and Third Party Users who interact with Threads. If you interact with Threads through a Third Party Service (such as by following Threads users, interacting with Threads content, or by allowing Threads users to follow you or interact with your content), we collect information about your third-party account and profile (such as your username, profile picture, IP address, and the name of the Third Party Service on which you are registered), your content (such as when you allow Threads users to follow, like, reshare, or have mentions in your posts), and your interactions (such as when you follow, like, reshare, or have mentions in Threads posts).

We use the information we collect for Threads for the purposes described in the Meta Privacy Policy, including to provide, personalize, and improve Threads and other Meta Products (including seamless personalization of your experience across Threads and Instagram), to provide measurement, analytics and other business services (including ads), to promote safety, integrity and security, to communicate with you, and to research and innovate for social good."
