Naw, that’s what shitty AI is for

I’ve seen it several times on Lemmy, Reddit, my news feed, my bloody RSS feed…etc

And I block ads., I don’t see ads, but now social media in general is just half astroturfed ads.

Ah yes, an internet classic.

Instead of engaging in meaningful conversation when the topic gets tough, you would prefer to fall back to insults.

👏

Have we collectively forgotten that Facebook tested manipulating users emotional states all the way back in 2014?

Where they tested to see if people with depression can be even more depressed if their social media feeds are manipulated to take away positive interaction.

I mean, yeah, so is electricity, aerofoils, and explosives. Old tech.

I’m not sure what your point is…

Whoosh

Ah this point?

You’re own bloody country

Supreme Commander!

Check out the FaF community, keeping it going strong.

Can you store it in commodities instead? Like gold??

Yeah, the title calls this out… “Strategic Stamina”. Something meant countries just don’t have anymore

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see this and to see it publicly traded within the next couple years.

You make it sound as if they don’t already have a place in the world. Ml models have been employed to solve problems for the greater part of a decade or more now. Deeply integrated into damn near everything that you interact with.

When you get an MRI or a CAT scan AI helps identify and call out peculiarities.

The traffic lights and traffic management in your city is probably partially operated using “AI”.

Wear and tear on parts of your car are predicted from data using ml models.

Industry sensor data is interpreted and made actionable using ml models.

Telecommunication Network fault prediction and detection.

Energy load prediction.

…etc

But you’re probably talking about is recent hype around llms which are models that are fantastically good at understanding language. Which opens up a whole new field of possibilities when you can combine the ability to understand language with the predictability and reliability of “classic” ML models.

Honestly slapping AI onto a bidet might actually make sense 😂

None of this LLM bullshit I’m talking about more classic ML. You know the stuff that has already been in widespread use in medical, civil, and countless practical fields for the last 10+ years. To great effect.

A bidet that targets? Hell yeah.

Lemmy is essentially just like Reddit at this point. It’s just a bunch of the lowest common denominator circle jerking a lack of critical thinking.

You cannot have intelligent discussion, and group think is all that matters. Folks will not read your comment, they will find the single phrase they disagree with and hold onto it for dear life, missing the entire point.

And then ignore the whole premise and idea behind the discussion and reply in a way that makes absolutely no sense if they had average reading comprehension…

I miss the old Internet, where you could actually have discussions and pass ideas back and forth.

No they didn’t that’s not banning advertising but that’s regulating a specific type of advertising.

There’s a pretty big difference.

You cannot get away from advertising, ever, in any society, in any financial system, at any point of time in history after tribal societie.

It’s a concept that you can’t just “ban”, nearly all the problems we have with it today is because it’s uncontrolled and abused. The concept itself though is as unbannable as the concept of “selling” something.

The concept:

“trying to find someone who can use something you made”

Is literally as old as humans moving away from tribal societies.

You can make the best thing in the world, but if no one knows about it, it’s still useless.

Are they not learning from the U.S.??

Your government can, and will, eventually turn against you. Under no circumstances should more power be given to it to compromise your privacy.

Data from now will be used against you or your children 30, 50, 80 years from now by another fascist government. Don’t let that happen at an even broader scale

Are you really suggesting that we take the low quality Reddit approach to high quality subs like /r/funny?

I suppose this is what happens when the lowest common denominator goes down coupled with ignorance of how the lowest common denominator affects community quality.

Communities lose their niche by catering to the lowest common denominator and become homogeneous with each other. This has been a long-standing phenomena on Reddit, one which I would expect to not be carried over to Lemmy since it’s largely a symptom of a user base that has more interest in memes, funnies, and celebrity worship than discussion and real news.
