Interesting to see #lemmy responses to that "fedi-rage-quit" blogpost/arstechnica article going around "outlining why the twitter #mastodon migration never happened" (which does make good/relevant points IMO FWIW).
So far, lemmy people are basically ... huh, interesting, doesn't really apply to the #reddit migration as we're all about our communities.
@maegul I agree with that assessment. The people who regularly use reddit are very different in usage than those who use Twitter. It's the same reason why digg collapsed so quickly and spectacularly. In the threadiverse People need just enough critical mass of activity to keep them engaged, whereas in microblogging it's about the specific people who are there
hey @ruud I just sent your mastodon.world admin @mwadmin a PM from @fediseer about guaranteeing for you. Would it be possible to tell me if you got a notification about it?
#Reddit demodded me as head of /r/piracy in order to reopen the subreddit. I posted about it in /c/piracy on #lemmy and today I realized this achieved our first 1K votes threshold 🎉

'phobes really do give the game away when they outright admit "no i agree with everything you're saying, i just don't like the way you're saying it", don't they
@atax1a fuck concern trolls. They're a most infuriating set of dildos because when you see through their bullshit and deal with them, the rest of the fence sitters start drama.
@brandont you can't be more wrong. Metaverse hype was driven by corporations and scam artists. LLMs (and AI Art Gens) are hyped because they are already in practical use and accelerating the workloads of people using them.
@brandont The difference is that there is no practical use for metaverse. It was all hype. Generative AI doesn't just have use, it has revolutionary potential.
@brandont Openness and public Awareness for one. Copilot is owned by one big corpo and is focused on programming. The new breed which is gathering incredible momentum as we write it FOSS and controlled by nobody. As a result the FOSS potential has been unleashed and thousands of free finetunes and optimizations are happening, causing the previously-thought 800-pount Gorilla in AI, Open AI, to be left behind in a cloud of dust and even Google is starting to sweat.
@brandont The functionality of these models as accelerators. The same way that a PC made an office worker 10x more productive, and that the internet made us 10x more than that. So will GenAI bring its own acceleration and I think 10x will be an understatement when all is said and done.
In one year from now, working without a GenAI will be seen as retro. Working without one, would be like working without a PC and internet.
@brandont Why? What makes you think that someone who right now can be 10x as fast when using GenAI, will decide to drop its use 1 year from now? That makes no sense. it's like saying I would stop using the internet as a tool when coding.
@brandont Alright, I'll bow out. All I'll say is: If I was a gambling person, I'd be willing to take a bet that I'm right about this. I guess we'll see in one year.
