And the clone gets a great excuse to get out of things. “That wasn’t me, that was my clone”

I love ground news. But they just give you information on the bias of their sources, they aren’t unbiased themselves. You get a better picture but you are still getting it from biased sources

They focus on America, as such have a broadly Western bias. Are they less biased than others? Probably. But you cannot report the news without some form of bias. The act of looking at an event and deciding what facts to include and what to leave out introduces some level of bias. As it is impossible to include every detail of an event, especially in text form, you’ll end up with a biased retelling

I would’ve gone with a less powerful nas and got a separate unit for compute. I got a synology nas with a decent amount of compute so I could run all my stuff on the nas, and the proprietary locked down OS drives me a bit nuts. Causes all sorts of issues. If I had a separate compute box I could just be running some flavor of Linux, probably Ubuntu and have things behave much more nicely

I feel like it could be nice to follow mastodon users from lemmy and have their toots mixed in with other posts

Damn. I guess we’re not far off from clients being able to post to both fairly easily. Cool to see

Was this posted from mastodon? Your post looks weird

Oh yeah definitely. The media loves to paint China as some massive villain and the American tech companies as our saviours, while they’re both doing similar evil shit

People in America love to complain about TikTok is harvesting all sorts of data. My response is yeah that’s awful, let’s stop all the data harvesting, and they’re like no just TikTok, the CCP is the ultimate evil

I’m also dual running Plex and Jellyfin. Ive had a few files I’ve downloaded that Plex won’t play but Jellyfin will. I like plexs UX a smidge better but if more issues like that pop up I’ll be a convert

Yeah they had ~175 employees in January, and this layoff was like 37 people. A shame, but not large scale

I like this idea, I think you could do some smart logic with non-responses to avoid spurious deletions. Like if any post from another instance responded recently, hold off. I’m just imagining if a server had some downtime and suddenly their content in the fedi is gone

Hell yeah. Sounds like you were definitely in the right, it’s your civic duty to do jury duty when you can

This will definitely be setting some precedent on how AI music is treated. I’m on the side of the monkey with a camera and that anything made by these large models is public domain. I’m sure these record companies would be ecstatic if they could license an artists voice without having to have them sing anything new

I would view ChatGPT as just an extension of stack overflow and Google. At the end of the day you still have to plug it into your broader code base and that’s what makes a good programmer. That and debugging the issues you get after

This would be so nice actually. Seems like a doable project for activity pub

I think it’s not a hard stop but it is an issue. I think it will force models to be trained in more novel ways, rather than just purely pump more data in. I think ideally we’d be able to reach GPT level intelligence on fractions of the data and compute. These new techniques have yet to be made but this will put pressure on their creation

Damn those are some fucked up stories. No wonder so many people have all sorts of weird ideas about sex in their head

Hexbear has one. It’s not federated now, but plans to be by next week. Might be one elsewhere too, just the one I know of

Tough choice. I feel like if you’re a creator who uses YouTube as your sole source of income, a few bucks a month, even like $100 could be worth while. Tragically would lock out people just starting, but maybe they can get some kind of free trial? On the consumer side tho I imagine people would be much less likely to pay, but maybe some people could be convinced if it was real cheap.
