Yeah, but one time there was an actual user who did use bots to mass downvote with obviously randomly named bots so that means any time something gets down votes it is brigading and vote manipulation!

Small AI communities nobody wants getting four down votes is comparable to LGBTQ+ communities getting dozens or hundreds of downvotes from actual brigading!

If you don’t like it ignore it, and also I’m going to follow anyone who doesn’t like my slop around and harass them!

Did I forget anything?

Yeah, he was the reason I dug in my heels against the stupid ‘if you don’t like it then ignore it’ bullshit which is fine for music and sports but down voting misinformation is one of the main purposes of the down vote!

Oh, it will let us do the thing we already do if we take the time to learn common behaviors and actually pay attention?

Oh good, at least they spoke to someone who knows what they are talking about.

“But AI often generates made-up responses that please the user rather than being anchored in objective reality. This could be a disaster if applied to pets’ welfare,” said Birch, whose input to the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Act led to it being expanded to include cephalopod mollusks and decapod crustaceans.

Birch points to separation anxiety: dog owners often want reassurance that their pet is not suffering when left alone for long periods. Futuristic “translation” apps based on large language models could promise to provide that reassurance, but end up causing harm by telling owners what they want to hear rather than what the animal actually needs.

We have them scattered around here in the middle of the US too.

it is hilarious that you throw a tantrum about people downvoting your small communities, and the moment a community exists thst you don’t like you spend so much time filling it with shit posts because you don’t like being criticized. What a hypocrite.

Sad little man child

Can’t even hold back their rage

Tries so hard but fails

They also had more free time to figure things out.

I have a 20 year marriage to my wife, a teenager, and a dog and all happy to see me.

How you doin’?

Edit: Oh, and I’ve been playing games and chatting with five friends for the last four hours. Played Helldivers 2 with two of em, Call of Duty with two others, and have posted here in between matches. Even touched grass earlier today!

You are just mad that nobody loves you.

Yes, your butt certainly hurts.

People can’t see the community rules when browsing All you fucking donkey.

Also, down voting is NOT against the rules unless they were changed recently recently.

Fuck off. I’ve never seen anyone more butt hurt about single down votes on lemmy.

The internet was successful because it was predictable and reliable and filled a previously unserved purpose. LLMs could possibly serve a purpose creating text that doesn’t need to be correct or accurate, but it won’t replace anything that requires any level of accuracy or accountability because the design is inherently flawed due to being a prediction algorithm.

There are uses for pattern matching AI that will continue to be tools used by humans to help focus efforts in massively complex work, but they won’t ever be foundational replacements.

Now this is pod racing a shower thought!

Both Russia and China have long histories of centralized authority.

Most western powers have been comparatively short lived, constantly expanding and fragmenting into new power structures. That includes the US, which has always had back and a forth infighting between state level and federal powers. I give the current regime a decade more (they have been building up for decades) due to speed running the few things they could use to placate the populace into the ground.

There are always individuals who put themselves first, even in completely horrible groups.

Yes, unruffed is the one YPTB mod who is cahoots with the other three mods (of other communities) that are all doing the mass bannings, and even using each other’s moderation as an excuse for more bans.

Example of mass banning (multiple communities, many users in a short time span)

Note I am perfectly fine with the last one for no down voting allowed for that community. It is stupid and rules don’t show in the main feed, but no down voting is in the rules and they were banned without being accused of more than what they did.

Off the top of my head.

unruffled at dbzero hypes up the conspiracy that everyone who gets banned for vote manipulation/whatever deserves it. I think they posted something about the brigade menace and treat a handful of down votes on something as the end of the world.

cryptagion at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

mystic mushroom at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

Also jet at hackertalks does mass bans for one or a few down votes

Think there was one other too but can’t remember their name. The complaint is that they don’t understand what lurkers are (vote but don’t comment) or that people might browse all and not care about AI but down vote something because it is awful. Then they make ridiculous accusations and accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being a troll.

If they just banned down votes and banned anyone who down voted with the reason ‘down votes not allowed’ then they would not be getting the widespread negative reaction that they are getting by accusing people of brigading or vote manipulation or ‘anti-ai harassment’ and all their other stupid and insulting made up ban reasons.

It is a take one and leave one setup so they can’t be stolen and the same books aren’t expected to be out there for long periods of time.

Perhaps the most well-known is the extensive beach library at Albena, a restort on Bulgaria’s Black Sea. Designed by German architect Herman Kompernas, it’s built to withstand the sun, water, and wind, and equipped with a vinyl cover to protect the books in rain. It reopened this May with more than 6,000 volumes in 15 languages, all totally free to take — and visitors are encouraged to leave their own tomes for others.
