  • This, you're not going to be successfully holding on to the position of dictator by directing available resources to what's best for the people.

  • Social media, not gaming, tied to rising attention problems in teens, new study finds

    Jump

  • I was replaying Super Mario Bros a while ago and it was really striking to me how deliberate the game seems to be about trying to teach patience and impulse control. Games ask more from you than social media content does.

  • How do people actually fall into the "Tankie" mindset?

    Jump

  • Pretty standard radicalization pipeline stuff I think. Groupthink gets enforced by mockery and removing dissenting views, accessible memes to get new people interested, sense of community and belonging that is conditional on being uncritical about the dogma. Everything gets framed as being about which side you are on, and discourse is seen as a means to advance the cause and not a way to consider what is true. They are visibly criticizing the US empire, people recognize that as correct and unfortunately buy into the idea that the other side must be the good guys.

  • Getting harder to afford the setup, but there's very compelling reasons to use local models instead

    Meta: disallow AI-gen posts?

    Jump

  • It doesn't have to, that could be disallowed (or at least require a link back to the artist who explains their methods). Also, a ban on generative AI would also apply to use of machine learning that doesn't involve text prompts, so this isn't just about prompt derived music.

    Meta: disallow AI-gen posts?

    Jump

  • The problem is that only accounts for such a small percentage of AI output

    Ban AI here and there can be another community for that kind of content.

    If it's rare, then there won't be enough of it to sustain another community. An easy way to moderate for this could be to just ban outputs of the most popular, easy to use tools like Suno, and ask for an explanation of the process to be provided.

  • In light of a "free" copy on Epic Games

    Jump

  • Does Epic pay the full amount to the game publisher per copy when they give away free games, or does it work some other way?

  • How We Lost Communication to Entertainment

    Jump

  • So the main complaint is that Pixelfed clients don't display posts without images even if one has followed the poster? And thinks it incentivizes creation of using multiple accounts/apps when a single one to interact with ActivityPub would be better? That seems like a fair thing to criticize but it seems a little dramatic to paint it as entertainment killing communication.

  • Spotify vs. Anna's Archive

    Jump

  • Many are worried that the archives liberated by Anna’s will be used to train generative models

    I hope so, unlike text and image gen, there are not really good publicly available music models, only proprietary services now owned by large music industry rightsholders due to lawsuits afaik. Like the article mentions, unethical corporations such as Spotify itself are already on it regardless.

    New: AI Content Not Allowed In This Community

    Jump

  • No, capitulating to people who are blindly anti-AI and crusading about it is dumb. Looking at the comments on that post, it seems pretty controversial whether it's actually bad.

    The two arguments that seem to make sense to me are, the appeal of the image leans on the idea that it might be real, and some people want an easy way to entirely filter AI content from their feed. I feel like there should be less heavy handed ways to address those issues than a blanket ban.

  • If someone is complaining about the reasonableness of the price of an Apple product, while using one (and presumably leaving on the features that advertise in messages that an iPhone was used), I think it's fair to assume they are paying or going to pay those prices, especially because of all the stuff Apple does to maintain a closed ecosystem of products.

    There's also the implied expectation that an ethical company would be voluntarily using the money they get to make sure they are giving back to employees and the broader society, but that's unrealistic because companies never work like that.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

    Jump

  • Sounds a lot like "how you feel doesn't matter, your right to exist depends on being useful to me."

    Which calls for acquiring leverage and using it to set boundaries, more than it calls for a rational rebuttal. Just gotta systematically remove the power such people have over you, and then they won't be able to talk to you that way anymore.
