  • But an LLM properly trained on sufficient patient data metrics and outcomes in the hands of a decent doctor can cut through bias

    1. The belief AI is unbiased is a common myth. In fact, it can easily covertly import existing biases, like systemic racism in treatment recommendations.
    2. Even AI engineers who developed the training process could not tell you where the bias in an existing model would be.
    3. AI has been shown to make doctors worse at their jobs. The doctors who need to provide training data.
    4. Even if 1, 2, and 3 were all false, we all know AI would be used to replace doctors and not supplement them.

  • The incredible thing about federation is that it's done in a volunteer basis despite the fact it isn't financially viable. This is high praise for Lemmy, but not so much for Matrix.

  • To be fair, Linux is in a super tough place right now as it shifts from a windowing system to a completely different one.

    And guess which one of those windowing systems is very unfriendly to Discord...

  • I'm sure Volkswagen and Hugo Boss will appreciate the research their ads are put next to.

  • Even if AI works correctly, I don't see responsible use of it happening, though. I already say nightmarish vertical video footage of doctors checking ChatGPT for answers...

    Edit: great talk, good to know the AI true believers can handle discussion of reality

  • Unfortunately, he's way more Brendan Eich than Terry Davis.

  • Simplex is a project made by a very weird dude who's very weird about his politics, and they are jumping headfirst into cryptocurrency and NFTs. I would have said it looked like a promising project a couple of years ago, but no longer.

    (From a technical standpoint, it's also just a messaging app with groups. At that point, you might as well use Signal or Delta as a backup)

  • Stoat is probably the best competitor, although it shot itself in the leg by changing its name recently. It's also missing video and screen sharing last time I checked, and the audio functionality barely works.

    Matrix is utter chaos as far as organization goes. When you join a Discord community, chats are clearly laid out and separate from private messages or group chats. When you join a Matrix community, you must individually choose extra group chats to join, and they are often indistinguishable from things happening outside that community. It's messy. And we haven't even gotten to video or voice.

    XMPP makes Matrix look organized and feature-complete. Good luck corralling a group of people onto that platform and figuring out disparate servers and disparate apps... I wouldn't recommend it.

    Basically, I don't think the open source space has an answer to this, and I don't think they can come up with one anytime soon.

  • Well, if it wasn't dead in my eyes before, that last sentence seals the deal!

  • Birds Aren't Real Guy is probably getting a second pump-and-dump scam going right this very moment...

  • "Real P2P" is also slang for "your contacts know your IP address/approximate physical location" so adjust your expectations accordingly.

    Keet is 100% peer-to-peer messaging app. No servers, no data centers, no middlemen.

  • There enlies a great response to people who insist we cannot resist progress (AI) and it's totally inevitable. If they believe in that progress so much, they can choose from any previous innovation that didn't bring the thing they say AI will bring.

  • Grok has unfortunately been coded to choose the wrong side in the Epstein case

  • If you have a few dollars, you can engage in the highbrow conversations of SomethingAwful

  • Agreed. To me, this sounds like a continuation of the abolition of Web 2.0, the era where APIs were open and nobody was talking about how they'd pay for it.

  • AI companies are helping create a distrust in media that took the Russian state apparatus decades to perfect. It's amazing what venture capital can accomplish!

  • And even in its "current, final form" I do not believe it is as decent as this paper suggests. (See my other comment has more info)

  • I worry that others might be under that impression.
