It's "funny", because without that injection from Google, Mozilla would surely die. And the only reason Google hasn't stopped doing that is because then Chrome (Blink) would be more likely to be treated as a monopoly.
Yay, mob justice!
Yeah fair enough. Key part was "arcs that go nowhere". I got so incredibly tired of TV shows that think the way to do mystery is drawing out plot far too slowly, in hopes you'll tune in next episode.
Then again, regarding new trek, I only watched season 1 of Discovery, and the first episode of Picard. I ain't got no patience for this.
Well, not equally ridiculous, since the example you have given has actually been implemented in large scale. So basically what you're doing is giving reasons for non-tech-savy people to think it can be done.
And most important (for me): self-contained episodes. No season long story arcs that go nowhere.
That's a a bit too absolute way to look at it.
From their point of view the goal isn't to abolish human involvement, but to minimise the cost. So if they can do the job at the same quality with a quarter of the personnel through AI assistance for less cost, obviously they're gonna do that.
At the same time, just because humans having crappy jobs is the current way we solve the problem of people getting money, doesn't mean we should keep on doing that. Basic income would be a much nicer solution for that, for example. Try to think a bit less conservatively.
I'm not sure how long ago that was, but LLM context sizes have grown exponentially in the past year, from 4k tokens to over a hundred k. That doesn't necessarily affect the quality of the output, although you can't expect it to summarize what it can't hold on memory.

It's problematic when people conflate their gut feelings for facts.

I understand activitypub better than creator of Lemmy
Well, that convinced me. Thanks for your insight on the matter, I now know how to value the rest of your comments.
And in one of those cases they are violating a very clear "this is not okay" signal, and in the other they are not.
What I think or what they "may" do is irrelevant regarding public data. What matters is sending a clear signal what you are and are not okay with.
Whether you actively participate in helping them get your data or not might not effectively matter in them acquiring it, but it may heavily impact the fine they get for it afterwards. You might be okay with them getting your data for free, but I'm not, sweet summer child.
They can still train ML models (create profit) from the data they get from you without consent.
I thought it was push after subscription.
Public is not the same as public domain.
I'm not a lawyer, but Federation would probably imply consent to sharing the data. Whereas defederation would strongly imply you're not okay with sharing the data with that entity.
So... Instances like lemmy.world, that this is posted to?
yes, I'm federated with them as well, but shit like this is why I dislike them being so big. In the end all the smaller instances can either have strong morals and integrity, or have access to the largest amount of content in the fediverse, but not both.
Gotcha. That sucks.
So those calls are not for the benefit of US companies?
Eh. Gen-x here. I still have an hour long phonecall over signal with my best friend over signal two times a week or so.
In my teens I wasn't too happy about making phonecalls either, but working on a helpdesk for a while sure cured that.
On the other hand, I live in a country with consumer protection, so robocalls are not a thing. And I'd strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger (and GDPR) those companies who attempt to poison and destroy my personal attention.
Lemmy allows it on a user level, since version 0.19
But since I see you're on mbin, that don't do you much good, I'm afraid.
I see.
As the other commenter also said: can't you just block the LW instance on your account?
After more than four years of trying to build a privacy-safe alternative to cookies, Google will pivot to focusing on “elevating user choice.”. From Campaign US
> In a blog post released on Monday, VP of Privacy Sandbox Anthony Chavez said that Google is “proposing an updated approach that elevates user choice” by allowing users to select whether or not they want to enable cookies on Chrome and adjust that choice “at any time.” > > “Instead of deprecating third-party cookies, we would introduce a new experience in Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing,” Chavez wrote.
