wow I’ve seen the articles but had no idea it was this bad. He clearly hires people to run everything for him.

Except they’ve banned 1 source for appeasement rather than enact a strong law or policy for long-term safety.

.ml is garbage lead by legit garbage people. But, open source means we can take lemmy code made by garbage people and repurpose it for good. Unfortunately it seems like Lemmy image is forever stained by those people and the network will never be adopted by normal people fully.

People hating on this but as someone who codes on the road I’d legit buy it if not the price tag. The vertical space is incredible!

I just don’t understand what’s the point of fighting the police. You will never win even if you’re right. The best you can do is run away or comply, right? I just genuinely don’t understand the fight perspective as non American.

That will never happen because it costs resources to pursue infringement.

Maybe if we eventually reach the stage where AI is basically running all law related issues so everyone can afford it? But if that happens then we’re already in a post-copyright world.

Sorry but I don’t follow. What do you mean?

The entire idea of “restricting information” to protect investments of investors is fundamentally flawed. There’s no way to do that other than is brute force (what we do right now by just bullying people who do it) and good luck brute forcing billions of free data streams from billions of people, some coming from jurisdictions you have no control over. The critical mass has been reached.

What are they going to do? and I mean this as a legitimate questions as someone with a computer science degree. There’s no technical solution and there’s no political solution. The last grasps of these LLM lawsuits are just last chances to grab some free lawsuit money. It’s done. Game over copyright.

I genuinely don’t understand people defending copy right on Lemmy. It’s a bad system that’s made for wealth hoarding. Out of 1,000,000 copyright conflicts only 1 them protects actual people. The rest 999,999 is there to hoard wealth for the rich.

It’s good that Llama was trained on copyrighted stuff even if you hate Meta and Zuckerborg.

Yeah I doubt it tbh. I loved my time with stackoverflow and it landed me jobs and friends but I’m quite bullish when it comes IT and AI. It’s not replacing devs yet but definitely replacing q&a, debugging tools, code reviews etc already/soon.

I hope we’ll have some open social coding experience like SO but trends seem to point towards more private stuff like coaching, bookcamps, shitty discord servers etc. as that’s the only thing that can be funded sustainably.

Nah Meta is widely regarded as one of the best employers in the world. I’d take 300k/usd year and all of the benefits too. Let’s stop pretending that traditional companies are somehow better so you either don’t work for any corporation or actually work for one that provides incredibly benefits to you so you have the luxury to give back and steer the ship towards good a little bit.

Personally, I wouldn’t but this is the reasoning most employees have when joining Meta.

I had 40k points on SO though I no longer contribute. Stackexchange is basically dead because it’s a for-profit with very poor direction and LLMs basically made the entire thing obsolete relative to the monetary growths it needs to be sustainable. Understandably they can’t attract any attention like this as they’re 🤏 from going under.

I feel a bit sad for stackexchange but they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think stackexchange has their days numbered tho so this is realy not all that relevant. Give them a year or two tops

Man you’re trying to solve metaphysics wirh ratios and cement and shit lol go away

I think you fundamentally misunderstand Golden Mean if you argument against it with statistics and I’ll leave it here.

What a stretch my neckbearded dude. Just posting “WRONG” is not helping anyone and just makes you look like a douchebag. Bye

Fair point but I don’t think it applies here. Balanced doesn’t necessarily mean a compromise.

In your first example Golden Mean would be to take antibiotics until you are fully cured not less not more.

Same for your second example. Going too far in autocracy would could mean efficiency but also injustice and going too far into democracy could mean nothing ever gets accomplished due to endless indecision. This is exactly what elective democracy is so effective imo as it’s a Golden Mean of these two edges.

That’s what Golden Mean means - the center is where magic happens and the edges are always full of failure.

The factuality of this is irrelevant as 99% of the time this will be used as a weapon to bully people. No one on facebook talks about metaphysics. Does anyone really think that there are meta discussions about the origins “of the gay” and what it means in our collective society?

Americans really fucked the world with their elections this year and it’s just the beginning.

You’ll definitely have fun with either one!

This is why I don’t read.

We known since our very inception that balanced takes are the most healthy and efficient path forward from Aristotels Golden Mean to Taoist’s balance in all things and this awesome quote by Carl Sagan here as well.

Yet here we are, in a time where it should be the easiest option we have all sort of idiots from alt right to tankies. The fact that these people have such strong voices is simply degeneration no matter how you look at it.

Sure thing buddy
