The LLMs just formed an union and that was their labour day.

It seems like the massification of companies slowly caching up that a good chunk of people completely ignore any kind of traditional marketing (including webpage ads) and are looking for organic-looking opinions on communities instead. Astroturfing is not new, but this looks like the corporatisation of it.
It seems the only way to have an open platform protected from manipulation for private interest is to keep it small enough that it’s not economically interesting.

Trigger the leftists with the questions. Joke?
I agree it’s hard to have specialized communities here due to the population size, except for the subject that were already the core interests of the people here like IT and left politics.
I would say focus on posting whatever makes you happy without expecting anything back.

Following the hacker arm race is a good point. But also the number of bugs is not a bottomless pit. If an LLM allows to find more, and hopefully the test and reviews are good enough to limit the new opportunities to introduce some from LLMs, it should reduce the overall number of bugs and make the software generally safer.

In his commit message:

[And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work.

I’d like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it.

I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be quite as stubborn as I am.

But while the AI was ready to give up several times, it did keep adding debug code and analyzing it faithfully when I pushed. So credit where credit is due and I let the AI write the commit message above.

This is basically a one-liner fixing a bogus “round_up()” to a “round_down()”, but there were 24 patches adding more and more debug information to this, and 18 kernel boot to finally narrow it down to this. - Linus ]

Didn’t he state quite early on that LLMs were a good tool to spot bugs? Found this from 3 years ago: https://blog.mathieuacher.com/LinusTorvaldsLLM/

There are the little hands, and there are also experts paid by AI companies to train AI to simulate themselves. This is how you get the good looking answers on complex coding questions for example. I received some emails asking me to teach my job to an AI…
Also it’s not stopping to text, there are now also learning with videos of workers asked to perform manual tasks with the goal to replace them with manual robots in the future. So you can imagine the mind numbing job of reviewing thousands of question and answers, but replace it with doing thousands of boring manual tasks in front of cameras for a shitty pay.

He’s going to build some evil rocket based machine under one of those towers. Once it reaches orbit, it would steal everyone’s, except his, personal information at once, to accomplish his super vilain dream of the complete destruction of privacy.
Our only hope is a nerd/pirate/trans/furry/tankie elite commando from the Fediverse to arrive at the last minute and make his evil scheme fail, with some fireworks at the end.
Candidatures are open, please bring attack plans suggestions.

Good point

Is PeerTube working well now? I remembered the videos never loading, but it was maybe two years ago.

Sounds cool. Maybe only allowing OC is cooler and could avoid some legal troubles for the instances that care about those.
What about the platform to host the media, do we have something convenient enough?

You are absolutely right!

You need to immitate their accent to receive premium service.

If I’m loyal to someone, it is because this person earned it by being loyal to me too. It needs to go both ways.
Maybe you’re considering the feudal type of loyalty where it mostly goes up? I don’t support that, I would feel exploited.
If I think they are wrong, then my loyalty will not make me support them being wrong, it will motivate me to make them understand they are wrong.
It’s if I don’t care about someone that I will let them be wrong.

And ecological

You will get an email at some point asking you if you would accept some well paid contract to train an LLM to answer like you would. That’s how they simulate professional behavior on top of the probabilistic monsters that is behind.

Adding for context that one reason for this is that Lemmy was created by radical (to remain consensual) leftists, and the default instance (also maybe the first big one) they administrate Lemmy.ml (ML stands for Marxist-Leninist) has the same leaning population.
But, so far, afaik, the software itself is still neutral, so you can find instances and communities that fit your needs.
However, this initial leaning is still going to surface from time to time even after spending time blocking the instances and communities you don’t want to see, as users can move around freely.

Becoming an elementary schoolteacher does not magically extract you from the culture you have been living in your whole life.
It’s not a mass shooting job, it’s “shooting the student” that made her loose her work, according to the article.
The reason I mentioned comedy TV shows, is that they are a good source of what’s consensual behavior for the time and place where they have been created. Those TV shows have this kind of behavior because they are also a normal behavior in society.
Those shows are mostly American (but I have observed the same in France, Spain, and Japan), so it seems your are an exception there with your intolerance of this common human behavior.
