It is striking how much the Unabomber's manifesto sounds like Tucker Carlson when philosophizing: against leftists, feminists, political correctness, cities, and progress.
Note also the irony in how much the Unabomber sounds like today's AI hypster/doomsayers:
I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement....
I'd suggest adding something like "even though you can access the content on other instances, the user experience will differ depending on which instance you sign up for".
A good analogy would be using Facebook vs Twitter but being able to follow and post content cross platform from either of them.
One will not look and feel like the other, but they will let you read and reply to content from the other one.
For good measure add in reddit, hacker news, and discord in there too to help people visualize.
It's also important to give people a few clear instance examples to check out, but you already did enough of that I think.
Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.
Thanks for the link. I'll try to read it through. I also completely agree with your stance on bonkers reactionary right wingers. I won't be too picky about a couple dozen tankies, thank you.
Microsoft should create and launch a Reddit clone, keep the API completely open for client developers (but not data miners), pay top Reddit moderators to move their communities over, and use the project’s data for continuously training their own AI models.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the author of “The Black Swan”, has exposed the limitations of ChatGPT. ChatGPT fails to understand the ironies and nuances of history and produces nonsensical and contradictory responses. Taleb also criticizes ChatGPT as a mere parrot of human texts, and not a source of original insights.
@haritulsidas What's astounding to me is people expecting anything else from a chatbot trained on human text with a probabilistic approach to guess contextually appropriate strings of text following a text prompt, while the bot has no internal, conceptual logic which can relate concepts, causes and effects, entities and actions to each other, and no access to a database of fact checked information to compare its outputs to.
I may be getting ahead of myself regarding my expectation of people to understand how this technology works but shouldn't everyone have some sort of built in skepticism for a technology going from barely understanding and creating coherent sentences to seemingly philosophizing virtually overnight? Even if nobody exactly understood how it does what it does, I'd expect more of an inclination to believe it's more smoke and mirrors or tech trickery than the apparent belief in GPT's recreation of human-like intelligence.
I put together a guide aimed at Redditors for Kbin and Lemmy! (beehaw.org)

What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows?
