Once again, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is saying out loud just how corrupt and politically motivated the Supreme Court majority has become. https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/112685094145453092

Just as the map is not the territory,

@erlend But if the enemy of my enemy is my friend... shit, I'm mixing them now.

it's often so complex to add to an already existing platform (for example ) and it gets even more complex if it is not built for social media 😱

For example

  1. Deleting Users from the Fediverse, that still exist on the blog.
  2. Delete the whole blog from the fediverse, but take temporary plugin deactivations/deletions into account.
  3. Caching by third party plugins.
  4. Shared hosting.
  5. Posts and Comments in different DB tables
  6. Publish only a subset of posts

@pfefferle could be a lot easier if all the WordPress site had to carry was the Actor ID:

@the_other_jon it's been a while since I used it (I don't really do road trips often) but it was fantastic every time I used it.

I just planned the trip using the web UI and then navigated from each suggested charger to the next one, and it nailed the SOCs within a few percent every time

"Growth" as a concept does not have to be viewed solely through the lens of Silicon Valley, venture capital firms, or capitalism in general. In the context of the network: some people here, myself included, want to see the network develop along enough to sufficiently challenge the status quo, and dethrone mainstream social networks.

For the to thrive, we inevitably have to bring in more people, new communities, and new ways of doing things. We need to build towards better concepts for user agency, privacy, and control. We need to also embrace the fun stuff that brought us here in the first place.

A non-zero part of Mastodon's user community has effectively modeled itself on a kind of social Puritanism that is super unfun to be around. It's gotten so bad that it's a meme at this point. Just imagine a stereotype of a stodgy librarian who tells you to CW your own lived experiences because they don't want to see it, and you're already halfway there.

There's this wild idea that any kind of commerce or barter, any kind of exhange between hands that isn't the most threadbare mutual aid, is forbidden and bad and going to make this place worse somehow. We're a network predicated on GoFundMe's and vast amounts of unpaid labor for hosting and moderation.

@a1ba I wanted to say that I've burned CDs very recently, then I realized those were DVDs. Pain.

This seems exactly correct. I make computational art, and I write about the same technical topics that LLMs aren’t terrible at. But I genuinely don’t think I’m losing my audience to the latest gpt model. It’s not my skill as a coder or an artist that makes people care about my work, it’s the connection between the author and the audience that makes it work. I’m not stackoverflow, I’m a human being who shows herself in her work

erlend ,
@erlend@writing.exchange avatar

@djnavarro exactly. I don’t read first and foremost for the beauty and flow of prose. I wanna know the author’s view; their opinion on the matter at hand.

LLMs are empirically devoid of any opinion, therefore I am thoroughly uninterested in anything an LLM has to say.

Question for the Fediverse hive mind. Is there any evidence that the models hallucination rates are getting ANY better over time?

I'm wondering if a 5 to 15% hallucination rate may just be the nature of the beast with LLM's and an unsolvable problem.
