It’s like if a shooter claims that they aren’t responsible for someone’s death because they only pulled the trigger and the gun’s mechanism did the rest; AI does not and cannot have a will of its own and a separate law shouldn’t be needed to assign responsibility for its actions.

Problematically developed with Claude, and perhaps other AI tools given the agents.md file.

Many schools wouldn’t be able to afford Kagi just for their students to search the web though; DDG would be much more viable for that purpose.

Relying on a single party to be the standard bearer for their policies would be dooming those policies half of the time; cherry picking favorable candidates from both parties moves the overton window for an issue in their favor. If anything, that agreement is then celebrated as a rare instance of bipartisanship while congresspeople debate other issues.

Just like with the oil lobby and AIPAC, the tech lobby hedges their bets by lobbying members of Congress in both parties to ensure their preferred legislative outcomes regardless of the broader political landscape.

They’ll allow them the honor of propping up the American military industrial complex. /s

Most of your comments try to mix witty remarks based on the contents of the associated article in a way that reeks of AI.

When accounting for all defederations between all instances with at least 50 MAU (as of when I last checked in August, at least), the only instances that are defederated with over 5% of other Threadiverse users (inbound or outbound) are lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, fedinsfw.app, forum.guncadindex.social, and lemmy.1095.me, none of which are oriented towards the average user moving over from Reddit anyhow.

Less defederation on average is better, but defederation is not a huge problem as it stands, particularly if you pick an instance known to use it minimally such as lemmy/piefed.zip.

3D anime characters seem to be more of a novelty than anything, but I still think it’s a shame that the 3DS’s 3D feature didn’t get used in titles later in the console’s lifespan. Compared to the instability of it on the original 3DS, the New 3DS perfected it.

Reddit continues to be the biggest hurdle to Lemmy’s growth; the average person doesn’t care about how much private companies profit off of their personal data, so convincing them to leave the vastly bigger platform for Lemmy is a challenge.

Completely ignoring Reddit and its potential user migration opportunities would be dooming the Threadiverse to not gaining any new users from the most likely place those users would be.

If someone subscribes to a blocklist on a remote instance and that remote instance shuts down, would that blocklist still work (and just no longer get updates)?

According to Huffman, Reddit has grown to the point where personalization is increasingly necessary to help users find relevant communities and discussions.

More lies from Spez.

The change could also benefit Reddit’s advertising business by allowing it to serve more personalized ads

The actual reason.

And the $5.42 compensation that comes with it. /s

Wall Street calls that an asset light strategy. Nvidia calls it demand. The thieves call it same day delivery.

That’s a very AI way of phrasing it.

Check my comment history and you’ll see that I’m a big fan of em dashes (typically to prevent run-on sentences, clarify a point, or where someone else might use parentheses, like this) but very anti-AI.

I’ve never generated anything in any of my comments with AI and I have no intention of doing so.

Reviewing @eicker@lemmy.world’s comment history, they do appear to use ‘it’s not X, it’s Y’—something ChatGPT is known for—unusually often.

fediverse, decentralized group of social media platforms in which each independent platform can interact freely with any other platform that is part of the group.

Great that they have an article on it, though their formatting the start of each article like a dictionary entry is a bit odd compared to Wikipedia.

If it were a Wikipedia article, it would probably need some copyediting to give it a more encyclopedic tone along with in-line citations.

While we should all be grateful for the work the developer put into the project, it’s also not uncommon for open source projects to use life cycle planning to determine potential redundancies if the original developer steps down. As things stand, their contributions are likely to go to waste, whereas ideally others could have picked up the torch from where they left off, preferably with historical data intact.

With how important Fediverse Observer is, the developer should have made an effort to hand it and its data over to another member of the community before winding the project down.

That’s exactly what an FBI agent would say! /s
