That’s budget for the whole network, this happened to a small local station.

Yeah that’s even better. I think the libreddit code could perhaps be used to also to help bootstrap some communities on Lemmy (by just posting the same links).

Or maybe that’s already happening?

Yeeeesss…, but typically it is easier to determine how reliable the person is from the test of the context.

Since Gemini is fed by the reason directly or might be fun exercise to ask it about yourself and while in some questions it will answer correctly or just loves to invent new things.

This works especially well if the person owning the account did not worry as much about privacy. So you hear many true things and also a lot of bullshit.

Well, they are all in the same club.

BTW: there is libredirect browser extension which redirects Reddit to libreddit instances.

I am saying this, so people use that instead of giving up and logging in.

There is libredirect browser extension that allows to rotate between the instances offloading load (I think safereddit.com has highest because the URL is easy to change.

The problem with AI is that while 80% of the time it will provide correct information, but 20% of time it will generate very convincingly sounded bullshit.

This is the danger of it… You test it few times and then you start trusting it. Kind of like that farmer that destroyed his whole crop.

Really? I was thinking Europe would be leading in Linux adoption, kernel originating from Finland, distros like SuSE, NixOS etc.

The old reddit was optimized for users, then new reddit is optimized for the shareholders to maximize profit, this is why it is shitty.

It has a technical name: enshittification

Same here.

BTW: technically they just killed it.

Yeah, of you go to their page to upload content, it now has prompt where you can generate one. It is just a stunt to fool people that they fighting and that it is hard, when in reality they want the slop as it is addictive to kids.

At the same time YouTube offers a prompt to generate more AI content.

No, this is just a stunt to claim that it is difficult to detect AI slop, when in reality they want that content as it is more addictive, especially to kids.

The problem here is that the technology is owned by capitalist overlords.

And their goal isn’t improving your QoL. If that was the goal we would already enjoy 4 hour work week long time ago.

It is a double edged sword.

If you’re already experienced developer and you use it skillfully, validate produced code it can help.

If you aren’t (and unfortunately everyone thinks they are better than they actually are), it actually can do the opposite, it can help generate a lot of junk code.

Now when working in a team usually majority of people aren’t that great developers typically there might be one or two star developers. The problem is that the other people will still use AI and generate MRs. Reviewing those is extremely time consuming and no one wants to do it. It’s weird to say what’s exactly wrong with those MRs they seem to do things but they seem to do things in a more complicated way.

The thing is that no one wants to review those MRs, everyone is afraid to point AI slop, so the quality of code goes down and even the people who previously were good are getting lost in the code themselves.

Really? I saw two of his articles and also interview and everywhere he was negative about it.

They’ve basically reinvented a mix of payphones and library PCs, but more invasive and more expensive

No this isn’t even the same thing. Library PC is made available to you for free (paid via taxes). Payphone was a bit a different breast, as they supposed to make phone service available at any place when before we had cellphones, although they were also available for free (you paid for making calls though).

Over here they want to remove ownership. Instead of owning a house, you rent an apartment, instead of owning a car you pay to use self driving one, instead of owning a movie or music (yes, I know) you pay for streaming service, and now you won’t even own the computer in your pocket.

Basically they want society where we don’t own anything and only pay subscription fees to live. This push toward that world is called technofeudalism. Only billionaires own things and we are just serfs at their mercy.

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, is the proper name, but sometimes people anglicized it to Bavarian Motor Works.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW

LOL, I thought the whole point of this was to encourage people to migrate to the new layout.

It’s crazy that few days ago I learned what BMW stands for and now I see it everywhere.

Is that pop-up on the “new” Reddit?
