@Viss Let me put on my LinkedInÂŽ lunatic soulless entrepreneur capitalist hat for a minute.
Riddle me this: if AI is truly as transformative as the tech companies claim. Then which company will continue to show the kind of growth that wall street wants to see? The one that lays off a significant number of staff to cut costs and keep production at relatively the same value. Or the company that keeps its workforce, trains them on the proper use of AI and delivers orders of magnitude more value than they did before?
Which company is also better off if ... Oops turns out this is a bubble?
Seems to me that the logical answer to both questions is the latter.

@Viss NYT had really interesting reporting on this (oddly almost exactly a year ago)
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/podcasts/the-daily/ozempic-big-food.html
I donât mean to be overly optimistic, but if food companies are being forced to cut down on salt and sugar and increase protein and fiber, that does seem like a good thing

@Viss every other windows OS just sucks. Full stop. Unclear if itâs intentional or not, but itâs almost like Microsoft canât innovate on their own, but theyâre great at stealing an idea and improving on it⌠so they release a sh*t OS that has a bunch of broken innovative features, then they steal it and fix everything.
Itâs been that way since windows 98. Win98: great. WinME: suck. WinXP: great. WinVista: suck. Win7: great. Win8: suck. Win10: great. Weâre now on Win11.
The difference is that this time they forced us into the suck.

@mathaetaes the 'good' cycle gets you addicted. the shit cycle they remove value to pressure you to move your shit to their cloud

@Homoevolutis0 @Viss this. duolingo has declined in quality for a while now and the last straw for me was the ai shit.

That's basically a Snapchat filter. Just wait a year. With the magical new Disney license, A.I. could make that possible.

@Viss What's the problem you have?
(also, this may heavily depend on which touchpad your laptop has â there are very significant differences between manufacturers) -

@Viss I guess an alternate reading of the data is it only takes 3% to make a space extremely toxic :/

@aburka it would seem to be the case, yeah - and reading between the lines tells me that folks would rather suffer and complain than do anything about it

@Viss I think that, plus the absence of engagement maximizing algorithms, plus the absence of âsuggestedâ or âpromotedâ content, plus the absence of ads and thus revenue sharing, plus the ability to choose an instance by its moderation and (de)federation, explains the healthier discourse in fediverse. That 3% quickly get themselves banned on any instance the rest of us would choose, and find themselves relegated to the instances with which ours wonât federate. And then no one sees their toxicity but their fellow denizens of the cesspool servers.

@Viss that sounds right

@deFractal @Viss in fediverse the social cost of migration to a server with better moderation is extremely low. But for other places that cost is skyhigh because most of the time it means leaving your community. And as twitter shows, things can get really shitty and people will still stay.

@Viss Just one more reminder that community and proper moderation are vital.

@rscottjones I don't want a war. But if there's going to be a war, I'd rather it was on US territory than EU or Canadian territory.
I don't think any of the conditions you describe are avoided by sitting back and waiting for a Greenland invasion. Opening up another front is always a great way to mess with an imperial power that is overextended.

This is absolutely awesome! The @leavex campaign now has their website up an running, so we can see exactly which members of the EU parliament still support Musk's disinformation platform X, and avoid voting for them.
I hope @leavex expands to add every national parliament â the disinformation has to end.
Se their excellent overview here:

@simonperry @Dunpiteog
In quel di Novara si usava dire fin verso gli '80 "teròn magna savòn" per riferirsi ai meridionali che non si lavavano e che preferivano mangiarselo il sapone invece di utilizzarlo. Quindi, sporchi e ignoranti.
Mio padre opponeva a questi epiteti il fatto che lui al suo paese del sud aveva il bagno in casa, mentre gli appartamenti che davano in affitto ai terroni non ce l'avevano e lui i primi tempi era costretto ad andare ai bagni pubblici per lavarsi... đ¤ˇ
