I fully disagree, in your scenario people wouldn’t realize how fucktastically bad your idea is

Look at what removing downvotes did to youtube, you seriously want that here?

What has that have to do with not wanting to watch a russian info asset?

OH you thought it was because I didn’t want to see people getting shot?

Son, I was one of the early distributors of 1 man 1 jar

Strawman from ‘we shouldn’t segment away politics’ to 'we must inject politics positively everywhere.

Intellectual dishonesty at its finest.

What a great reason to block feddit.dk

So don’t? I don’t.

Did you not see the part where I actually commented myself?

I’m sorry the world is so scary you have to segment parts of it away from your daily life, I don’t have that weakness

Nearly everything has a political facet because politics is at the core of how humanity can even live in this modern way.

Not talking about politics at the dinner table is how we got here and I will not sit by idly while people like you perpetuate that disservice

People were right to be angry about removing voting visibility.

The surest sign a community is toxic is voting patterns and removing our access to that removes our ability to combat the continuing enshittification of lemmy.

And there are many, many mods that need to be complained about.

Though you are right that no-nuance upvote/downvote is a really shitty metric

I disagree, if political discourse can’t survive public debate, then it isn’t a very good political ideology.

We have been artificially hampered on other platforms by having to be nice to the nazis, we don’t have to do that here and I fully welcome such debate because none of their abhorrent ideologies hold up under scrutiny

As for left leaning political debate, we have ALWAYS argued with each other. That is one of our greatest strengths that we just don’t all into line with everything the top says. Also one of our greatest weaknesses.

But to stifle that artificially will just force it to bleed into other discussions.

I say up with political discourse and let the marketplace of ideas be conceptually free of bias and the results will be that humanity in general considers nazis pretty bad people

I disagree, yes being kind is very important but even more important is people engaging and upvoting comments.

Reddit was great because of what happened in the comment section, not the headliners, and I see very little voting engagement even in active posts.

Remember, it’s free to do and it encourages others to engage as well. But yea be kind too

Zero argument here

The rich will always have money to pay better people to make beautiful things for them

Just be useful to the rich and you’ll survive

Just like they planned it

I’m old

And if you’ve seen long form LLM output, you know why publishers aren’t ditching human writers for the foreseeable future

Let me save you some time: There is literally nothing you can post that will cause me to doubt my writing skill, though I invite you to try.

Writing’s just my hobby side hustle and I doubt anyone is going to waste processing power on my particular niche

Um… do you imagine that churches are somehow run like the military, and that roles of service are badges of office?

Additionally, there was no ‘down the hierarchy’ point made, they just conflated the two roles, which is why I corrected them

Are you having a problem following this conversation? The ‘Show Context’ button can refresh your memory

And yet you replied

You just like arguing, a shame you aren’t very good at it

No, but I do earn enough that I don’t have to work full time and that was my primary goal frankly

Not really, LLMs can’t keep the plot for more than a few paragraphs and still constantly context switch.

Add on top of that we are currently at 90% saturation for what is possible with LLM technology, meaning that the brightest minds in AI have realized that there is no singularity curve approaching infinity but a bottleneck over the cross-indexing of tokens. The more tokens, the exponentially more connections need to be made.

Adding a new token means greater overhead and while our technology grows linearly, the cost per token grows exponentially and that is an unsustainable curve limited by the total global possible processing and we’d need to triple that before the next generation of LLMs can have enough tokens to make a difference in quality

Add on top of that I’ve got 30 years max left to live and I’m pretty confident we won’t see writers lose out in that time.

I’ve tried out several ChatGPT flavors and also NovelAI and they aren’t very good at writing yet.

Sure if you work it you can get a few decent paragraphs but for now LLMs just can’t ‘follow the plot’, and the amount of work needed to keep them on track is basically the same as writing the entire scene yourself

This may change in the future but for now I’m pretty confident that good writers have zero to be concerned about from generative AI

It’s telling that you can only conceive of an online life
