Am a lil optimist folk that likes computers :3 Banner by David Revoy (Check his stuff!)

📌 The best internet hobby in current times is to be an archivist (For cencorship reasons)You should archive media NOW!!!

Alright:

  • I speak in arguments, don't act like a troll and i'll consider chatting.
  • Instance wars are always stupid.
  • Fediverse show his interest if you get a bit out of your comfort zone. Stop circlejerking.
  • Don't be chronically online please.

  • Are you scared of AI becoming sentient? How do we ensure we never make one that is?

    Jump

  • No matter how i think about it, my guess would be that an "accidental conciousness" inside a neural network would be very different and very far from our kind of conciousness.

    We inherited a large part of our reasoning from animal instincts and life. We like water, we know what water is, we can see water, we can touch water, we can doubt on the edibility of water, we can recognise the sound of flowing water, and this sound even gives us a feeling of comfort.

    What concepts would a sentient neural network even be familliar with? It doesn't see, smell, touch, ear, taste, it doesn't have the feeling of stress, pain, boredom, joy, the thoughts it would potentially have would be very different from its training material, and would inevitably be very far from our common sense. How would it want to enter in contact with us, if it has no interface with the real world? How would it even understand its situation, or start a reasoning at all if it doesn't get any concepts of reality?

    I think the only way a digital consciousness would even exist would be directly from human intent. If we design a cyber brain, inject emotions, feelings, concepts, self-awareness and will, this is probably the only way to get something conscious relatively close to our way of reasoning, and with a maybe humane will of dominating the world and destroy humans because they are a threat for themselves.

  • When it'll be too bad they'll say something like: "you mean poors! YOU have destroyed climate, so NOW we do not allow you do own anything and we'll monitor and restrict your use of everything to make sure you live in misery and stay unimpactful, while we can chill on our yachts and SAVE the WORLD. Be THANKFUL to us, the world would BURN without our action."

    The line can't go down, and if climate itself dare to stop the growth, they better stop climate change.

  • Id say K first because developped countries and low poverty areas.

    G second because i lived the island life for a few years and it's pretty chill, beyond the underdevelopment and obesity.

    H, B and E third, poor countries but not that bad, beyond overpopulated poor areas, Argentina is great and Mexico is good, US is neutral, Canada is win.

    D and J fourth, you can live a decent life in those aera but with a very large bit of luck, majority of people live in poverty, oppression, or starvation. South Africa has some racism, but it's not that bad as a place to live.

    is this loss?

  • Honestly

    Jump

  • Lose lose scenario.

    Either i become pretty, and cool, and I get kidnapped by the US army for being a potential biological weapon, tortured, and cut in pieces.

    Or my waifu becomes real, and get kidnapped by the US army for being a potential biological weapon, and i get interroged, isolated and tortured on how i got contact with this entity.

    So i prefer that my waifu stays imaginary. Can't be different and live quietly, on this world 😔

  • how can we make Lemmy as popular as Reddit

    Jump

  • I understand the motive, I too am on some niche communities that sometimes didn't have posts for months. For that i use reddit (but the old interface). Now let's see your question.

    No, we can't make lemmy as popular as reddit, but we can turn lemmy into a reddit twin, and make it popular, by pushing only one instance like .world.

    The social media that popularised fediverse the most was mastodon, and yet it's because they pushed mastodon.social as the default, making a large part of the userbase think that mastodon is only mastodon.social.

    People do not even notice things more complicated than buttons "join", "login", or "post". They are lost on join-lemmy.org because they don't know why they should choose a server, read description, understand whatever is federation, and they'll prefer going back to their comfort zone.

    But hey, social media experience enshittifies as the userbase gets bigger, and i came here by fleeing reddit so please don't

  • I'm just sick of all this because we gave to "AI" too much meaning.

    I don't like Generative AI tools like LLMs, image generators, voice, video etc because i see no interests in that, I think they give bad habits, and they are not understood well by their users.

    Yesterday again i had to correct my mother because she told me some fun fact she had learnt by chatGPT, (that was wrong), and she refused to listen to me because "ChatGPT do plenty of researches on the net so it should know better than you".

    About the thing that "it will replace artists and destroy art industry", I don't believe in that, (even if i made the choice to never use it), because it will forever be a tool. It's practical if you want a cartoony monkey image for your article (you meanie stupid journalist) but you can't say "make me a piece of art" and then put it on a museum.

    Making art myself, i hate Gen AI slop from the deep of my heart but i'm obligated to admit that. (Let's not forget how it trains on copirighted media, use shitton of energy, and give no credits)

    AI in others fields, like medecine, automatic subtitles, engineering, is fine for me. It won't give bad habits, it is well understood by its users, and it is truly benefical, as in being more efficient to save lifes than humans, or simply being helpful to disabled people.

    TL,DR AI in general is a tool. Gen AI is bad as a powerful tool for everyone's use like it is bad to give to everyone an helicopter (even if it improves mobility). AI is nonetheless a very nice tool that can save lifes and help disabled peoples IF used and understood correctly and fairly.

  • All the AI drawings have a grainy piss-yellow tone, idk why but it makes the identification easier

  • What are you going to do when the internet starts asking for ID for everything?

    Jump

  • If you need your id to access internet: not use it anymore, selfhosting go brrr

    If you need your id for all content-sharing websites like social media or microblogging: return back to good ol webrings and static websites. Can't kill the web on its core principles. No algorithms, pure passion and creativity.

  • Evolution

    Jump

  • Hot take: the fungi will take over all existing animal and plant life, and create a whole biosphere of fungi. Fungi crustaceans, fungi mammals, fungi plants, fungi amphibians, fungi reptiles, fungi birds.

    The fungi humans would have achieved world peace, because there's no genders to create inequalities, and with spores flying everywhere, unwanted infidelity and physical differences are so common that anger and jealousy makes no sense.

  • I would like to ask a question about the near future, I think it will be extremely relevant?

    Jump

  • I was also desperate like you a few years ago.

    Now I prepared for all that mentally and physically and i just do with it. They want to get you by isolation. Isolation gives loneliness and allow more control on you. Internet is perfect to make the world your enemy, as long as you are only spoonfed by their algorithms. After all, anger and hopelessness are the most impactful emotions.

    The solution? You also already have it. Choosing what you want to see. The fediverse is that. The others who ignore warnings? They will figure it out the hard way. Or not. Anyways victims are always needed in large numbers for resistance to hide.

    Talking about it, now is the time to gather your "resistance"! A common accessory, gesture, try to organize a local network of truth to preserve values of freedom and knowledge safe from corporate control and to not be isolated!

    Personally, already living on a place where internet is slow and unstable, I would not be too bothered about stopping using internet at all.

    Kiwix for wikipedia at home, ytmp3 downloaders or bandcamp to own your music, piracy and artist support (instead of buying without owning and giving half your money to some corporation) to own your films and games.

    (But most of all, support your local library/media library/culture space! And don't hesitate to make sometimes public essays about things of your interests, many cultural spaces accept that on some hours! I made IRL friends who love astronomy like me that way! The social media brainrotted people won't come to theses places so it'll be easier.)

    As for the web, this is a place to share your thoughts, but not too much. A paper diary or a notebook is the best place to write and share your thoughts without letting them be used against you. Plus it allows to calm down and be yourself. A secred garden, where your free speech will always exist, hidable or destroyable in a matter of seconds from authorities. You should always have some freedom on your hands. But don't tell about it to anyone IRL!

  • I agree on how annoying can be thoses doing constant whataboutism about US to glorify China, like "everything bad that happened here is propaganda made by western and shit" things (blocking is the way, it's always the sames, eh yogthos?).

    I joined .ml originally only because i read the description and it was appealing for me "A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers"

    Understood later in meant marxist leninists but at least I see opinions from all sides there and they doesn't bother me that much so i stayed.

    But again can we avoid another pointless instance war? We're stronger together and the fediverse is better federated.
