@anxietynectarr If you want to communicate with people on other servers, you can do that from your existing account. You don't need to join a server to communicate with its members. For example you and I are on different servers but we can talk like this You generally don't need accounts on other servers unless you specifically want to operate multiple accounts (for example a work account and personal account), or if there are special features on other servers you want to use.

@shaedrich @Mustardfacial @nixCraft True - I was probably talking about Alphabet instead of Google, to be honest.

@infonauten @MThaastrup jeg kan ikke lade være med at tænke om: 1) personen har gjort for at andre ikke bare skulle kopiere teksten direkte? 2) måske personen ville undgå bogen bliver 'scrapet' af AI ved at lave tekst som billeder?Ja, der må da findes én god grund.

@Natasha_Jay It’s the original “big lie” so that we will work for the system instead of humanity.The system created many of these things and then decided it wasn’t going to pay for them. Marketing became the way to sell you the lie. Organized religion helped sell it by adding promises of glory and power. “You’re on your own now”...get a job…get a second job…things that existed for the common good became privatized.We’re coming up on a fork in the road…

@neil The obvious improvement is for the LLM to insist that it is right and that #1 attempt is a good representation of a donkey.At the very least computer display manufacturers and anger management course providers will be better off.

My next book is *The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI*, out next month. Pre-order it now, including as a DRM-free audiobook or ebook, at my Kickstarter, and help me continue to prove that DRM-free isn't just the *right* way to reach an audience, it's also the *best* way to reach them:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doctorow/the-reverse-centaurs-guide-to-life-after-ai eof/

@stux @benroyce @Netraven I don't think I've said Fuck AI yet today. Fuck AI.

@evelynefoersterThank you. Maybe it's because I've eaten all my crayons, but that brought me such a frisson of joy

@infobeautiful You hear Canadians talking about how the Windsor-Québec corridor doesn't have HSR but something like Calgary-Edmonton not even having daily service is absolutely shocking. Surely there would be demand for an *hourly* service on a connection like this? (And given the terrain it could easily be HSR, too)

@evan I picked heart. It is the closest to what I actually believe, which is the center of the gut just a few centimeters below the navel, inside the body. Some theories believe the thinking part ("the brain") of the nervous system is mostly interpreting and telling a story about the behavior we decide on a more intutive level (gut feeling). Michael Gazzaniga's study of the interpreter function is famous for this.

@withinity Hi Withinity, welcome!Here's a guide on how to discover accounts to follow on particular topics: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friendsIf you want help with using this place please feel free to ask, and there are also lots of guides on the website at https://fedi.tips I also run an account at @FediFollows that suggests accounts to follow, and it has a website at https://fedi.directory

@SusiArnott @revjss I don't know about guard donkeys, but the use of guard alpacas or guard llamas is well known:https://alpaca.asn.au/farming-alpacas/alpacas-as-herd-guardians/

@amalia12 That's an indicator of the hope I have for the future, the young are idealistic. Lovely.

@bagder "if i want the opinion of an LLM i would ask it myself."

@CarstenBoll Hvis jeres bil ikke er meget reparationskrævende og opfylder jeres ønsker, giver det heller ikke mening at skifte den ud med flere tons nyproduceret bil lige nu.Vi kører ikke så lange ture, men kan se på ABRP at en 1750km tur til Nice i vores, ikke specielt hurtigtladende, men ret rummelige elbil, ville tage ca 22 timer, inkl. 3,5 time ladestop undervejs.

@kfogel @neil damn, my UV printer has a rotary attachment so I can print on cups, but does not use cups drivers.

@royalrex @sorenhave Som jeg anvender det (altså uden AI), er det forskellige former for tekst. 0. udkast fremkommer ved flowskrivning, hvor jeg ikke har krav om sammenhæng eller konsistent, det er en slags indre brainstorm, hvor alt får lov til at stå på papiret uden en indre censor. Og teksten må ikke skrives videre på. En 1. skitse er det første sammenhængende bud på, hvordan teksten ender med at se ud, som man typisk redigerer videre på. Men ja, du lægger opgaven uden for dig selv med AI.

@thomholwerda @SRAZKVT if we're talking DnD style alignment the question is whether the person intends to ultimately cause harm or prevent it.From context I think we're both on team, "resisting LLM spread is harm prevention", so it's quite clear. Even if you aren't anti-LLM, operating in good faith I think it's clear that the intent is harm reduction, but I've yet to find any LLM proponents that do that so...

@pilum @fiskelandslaget Eg får legge til, sidan dette teknisk sett er offentleg skriving, at mitt problem ikkje var med hen eg kjøpte av, men ein eller anna tidlegare eigar. Var visst snikkar som meinte hen kunne gjere alt sjølv. Snekringa var ganske bra, men røyrlegginga og elektrisiteten var… ustandardisert.

@welshpixie - and now I have to buy some on my way home from work, I think...
