Saudi Arabia isn’t a person.
Yes, it is. In an autocratic monarchy, in a dictatorship, everything belongs to the king. The house of Saud is treating the country as their personal property and let’s not pretend that anything would prevent the guy who killed a journalist in his embassy from accessing that data.
Just FYI: Data is from May till June 2023. Musk took over Twitter end of Oct. / Nov 2022. A lot of stuff has happened since then, so that study can’t tell you much about the current X
People here like to shit on AI, but it has its use cases. It’s nice that I can search for “horse” in Google Photos and get back all pictures of horses and it is also really great for creating small scripts. I, however, do not need a LLM chatbot on my phone and I really don’t want it everywhere in every fucking app with a subscription model.
I really don’t want to connect my reddit username & the subreddit in question to this post.
I have Audio-CDs from the 80s that are still playing 40 years later. And I have CDs with deep scratches that also play without problems.
Yes and no. First of all, there is nobody who wants to take over. So the option is “abandon it” vs. “kill it”. Reddits actions in regard of their mods do have consequences. And it also doesn’t belong to the community as Reddit is actively claiming ownership. So to take your church analogy: The pastor wants to quit. The bishop claims ownership and control of everything, is actively harming the community, but can’t provide a replacement priest.
And in my opinion it is better to stop projects like this instead of abandoning them as abandoned places & subreddits will get taken over by spammers, crazy people and full on nazis.
It’s already here :)
TBH, it does make sense: Posting a legitimate comment and then editing it after a while is a popular tactic of spammers. Post something, get the top spot and after the post has gone out of the popular queues, edit in your personal spam links and profit from all the sweet traffic coming via Google -> Reddit -> Your site
Yes, you are doing something different here, but for an automated moderating system that looks exactly like a spam attack. Overwrite existing comments with the same post & edit in an external link.
And sadly you need those automated tools as a Reddit mod and if Lemmy is keeping it’s growth, we will need them here, too. Spammers will come and they totally will overwhelm moderators trying to do it manually.
I run a small thinclient (HP Mini G400, but those small Lenovos thinkcentres and others also work) in my home. Cost me ~100€ plus a few Euro for a RAM update and a bigger hard drive and now I’m running Proxmox with the help of the Community Scripts:

It’s quite awesome, to be honest.
I’m sceptical. Even if somebody would present a working fusion reactor today, what would the timeline to replace everything based on fossil fuels even be? Build several thousand of expensive fusion reactors in every country of the world, even in geopolitical rivals like China, Russia or North Korea or war-torn third world countries? Replace every car with an electrical one? Replace home heating everywhere? Rebuild every ship and airplane worldwide?
Why? Can you explain a little bit?
I use LLMs for some things and they are great, but to be honest, I haven’t seen any real world usage of blockchains besides cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
