Yeah, exactly. Why make it a competition? The wording is honestly just bizarre
As is the way of my people 🇨🇦, I would like to make an apology. It is as follows:
Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, I will say things I later regret. So take this as a blanket statement: if you and I have ever gotten in an argument on Lemmy/Piefed and I called you a mean name (such as ‘stupid’, ‘angry little elf’, ‘grumpy little fella’, etc.), then I am sorry. In most cases, I was not the first to one to fire a shot, but that is beside the point. Please accept my apology nonetheless.

Yeah, exactly. Why make it a competition? The wording is honestly just bizarre
Yeah the wording there seems odd. Why do we have to specify that its the greatest? There are plenty of terrible crimes to go around, and it seems a bit off to make it a competition as to which one was the worst. Plus, we probably don’t even know about most crimes against humanity because they happened in e.g. ancient Mesopotamia wheres no records were kept
Right I see. That is an advantage
You cannot kill the will of the people. Relevant video
True, but I think it would be a good thing if this place was less niche. The world would be a better place if Lemmy/Piefed surpassed Reddit in terms of total users. Open protocols > corporate overlords. That said the federation aspect of it might make it disjointed enough to maintain that niche feeling. Your particular instance could still be niche even if the wider fediverse is not
It might be harder to manage with federation but, at the same time, it makes corruption more difficult. Reddit is a good example of this. They could manage this problem well but they don’t, because the corrupt overlords that manage it are a single point of failure for the entire network. That would never happen with lemmy/piefed because we could, like you said, just switch instances
Yeah but ideally you’d want to federate with the wider fediverse, where there may be bots. Because a social network with population one sounds no fun
Wow, I knew the problem was bad, but… Jesus. How do we prevent something like this from happening on Lemmy/Piefed if they end up getting really popular? I guess the fact that post history isn’t private here helps


Whats the XZ thing? Im out of the loop


This is why they’re infiltrating open source projects
Are they infiltrating open source projects too now?


What’s wrong with Nvidia? Genuine question


Well it’s more than just the accent. The grammar is slightly different too, right?


This is correct. this is what stop signs like in Quebec:

Even outside of Quebec you’ll find stop signs with both Arrêt and Stop in areas with large francaphone populations:



I don’t know anything about accounting, but at first blush it seems like tax evasion and so forth would be easier to detect because the government can look at their bank activity and perform random audits, and so on. In contrast I don’t really know what tools we’d use to catch people lying about their training data


Elon Musk’s xAI has lost its bid for a preliminary injunction that would have temporarily blocked California from enforcing a law that requires AI firms to publicly share information about their training data.
How do you actually enforce this? What’s stopping these companies from just lying about what training data they use?


It wasn’t a particularly funny joke
Well I, for one, thought it was funny


Apparently owner of 4chan added /pol/ the day after meeting with Epstein. They called it a “great means of manipulation” IIRC. So I think there may be some truth to this. The whole Pizzagate thing may have been a way to make it seem like anyone who thinks the ultra-wealthy are child predators seem crazy


And a lot of it is clearly AI generated
Yeah. I bought my kaptop second hand. When it still had windows on it, it was basically usuable because jt was so laggy. I installed linux and, badda bing badda boom, works like a charm. Its been my main computer for a fee years now
Technically, they are predicting the next token. To do that properly they may need to predict the next idea, but thats just a means to an end (the end being the next token).
