Yeah, decentralisation has a lot of downsides. It’s definitely a barrier to entry for new folk. But at the same time, it has the single most important killer feature available, and that is that it’s can’t be controlled by a single profit driven corporation.
We’ve got instance level disabling of downvotes on lemmy and piefed.
Decentralisation.
I will never use any other kind of social media again.
Why is Cachy more independent than Arch?
It will change society. It won’t improve skills.
Studies already show the opposite at play. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872v1
If the LLM could teach you how to code, but couldn’t do the coding for you, it would be a tool for improvement. But it isn’t used that way. Instead of saying “teach me how to code this”, people are more inclined to say “code this for me”.
On top of that, they’re controlled by corporations who are not in the slightest bit interested in your welfare, privacy or economic success. They will invade your privacy, fuck over the environment, fuck over people and load their LLMs with propoganda and barriers that serve their political and social interests.
And as a bonus, they’re a nightmare for the environment.
Having said all of that. I agree, they are going to fundamentally reshape society. But it’s like the industrial revolution. Yeah, we ended up with a more efficient society, but it didn’t make people freer, it further entrenched wealth in the hands of the wealthy, whilst fucking up the environment. That’s what LLMs are going to do.
We could do them differently. That implementation isn’t inherent in their nature. But we won’t do them differently, because the people pushing it want the shitty outcome, because it’s not shitty for them.
Think of how shitty and scam filled the early internet was. Did we abandon it because of how shitty it was at first,
It wasn’t though… That was mid to late term internet
Assuming I knew that my behaviour was being modelled and this model would influence the outcome, I’d remove myself from the decision making process and flip a coin.
If you don’t know just say you don’t know or don’t engage, don’t call me or others names in the comments. Let’s keep this civil.
You could use asklemmy or something similar
!femboy@lemmy.blahaj.zone might be an option?
Kagi has a fediverse search
Yep. Thus demonstrating the stereotype :)
Hazel has to have brown in the mix somewhere though
Sucks that I wouldn’t be able to shitpost about it, though.
That’s what mesh networking is for
The test is, are you punching down? That is to say, are you, from a position of privilege, ridiculing someone that lacks your privilege? If not, you’re ok.
That we’re all descended from convicts (though I am)
I’m not asking you to argue about it. I explicitly don’t want people arguing about it, which I was hoping my previous comment would make clear.
There are people out there that were raised a certain way that want to change or perhaps have questions due to ignorance on the topic. By being combative, you’re doing more harm than good for something you clearly care about.
If someone turns against all trans people because they encounter a single angry trans person, then they were just looking for an excuse to justify what they already felt.
And it’s not my job to play nice with the people trying to erase my rights in the hope that maybe, just maybe, they’ll stop what they’re doing! That doesn’t work. That has never worked. Every single civil right gain has been made by pushing back.
So thanks for the advice, but I’ll keep pushing back
So is fanny for that matter…
