Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
21·6 days agoIf I were blind I’d prefer it if the app just hid all image posts from me. The alt text, when it exists, is going to be trash most of the time anyway.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why can't I reply to this specific user's comment?English

“Impressions” is the amount of time a piece of content was viewed. This is a key metric in advertising-based situations because you want to know the ratio of clicks on the thing vs how many impressions it has to judge how effective a bait it is.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•PieFedeology - Ideological Purity in PieFedEnglish
71·25 days agoYep. This is a setting I put in for my instance only, not hard-coded.
Various domains have warnings for different things.

Technology@lemmy.world•Motherboard sales are now collapsing amid unprecedented shortages fueled by AIEnglish
71·25 days agoThat’s interesting.
How much ram did it use while running?
If you used a GPU, how much does it cost in today’s prices?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•A more private way to distribute votesEnglish
3·26 days agoAh that is interesting, I missed that the first time.
So the author instance would be responsible for federating activities, not the instance hosting the community? That could be very beneficial for spreading load across the network! But maybe it would complicate moderation because the author could ignore moderator’s commands to delete the post and stop federating it.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•AI-assisted moderation in the fediverse is happening. Now what?English

Fediverse@lemmy.world•A more private way to distribute votesEnglish
64·27 days agoI prefer to receive individual vote activities because then my blocks and defederations will remove votes from instances that I don’t want.
e.g. I’m using instance A and subscribed to a community on instance B. Posts in there receive votes from instance C but because I’ve defederated from C (for vote manipulation, perhaps), none of the votes from C have any effect on me. They would have an effect on B and that’s good - it’s up to them.

27·27 days agoNah. I discussed it with Unruffled days ago. Here’s a screenshot from Matrix in the Threadiverse Admins room:

410·28 days agoIt’s at least one admin, we don’t know how widely it’s used. It does have the logo of a group of 3 instances (Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla), so it seems to be made to be used by many people in an ongoing way.

37·28 days agoThe assessment of samskara was broadly correct in that case, I’m not disputing that. And yes, in his own definition, he is a Zionist.

313·28 days agoWell, the cat is out of the bag now. Might as well show the whole story.
That told me everything I need to know about how much to trust the summaries…. very little. I honestly don’t think they are much of a value add, because you just can’t reliably trust the results. In any case, we have absolutely no plans to use llms for that on a regular basis, I just wanted to see what it came up with, and how well it matched a manual assessment.
Lies.
You provided a link to that assessment as proof that a ban was warranted. Here’s a screenshot from the mod log:

48·28 days agoAhh sorry - I just checked more closely. It’s an admin doing it.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•For those who have tried MBin, is it a good Lemmy alternative?English
73·28 days agoAhhh no no it’s not a bot - the moderator is using OpenAI to check if a user has said anything that makes them a promoter of a political ideology that they consider to be bannable.
The human mod still presses the ban button themselves, manually.

















So good to finally have a label for what went wrong with Drupal!
