It would summarize the link. Unfortunately that’s an edge case where the bot doesn’t do what you mean.

I would be happy to, but all current local models are vastly inferior to GPT-3.5. The unfortunate reality is that if you want to create anything high quality, you must use the OpenAI API.

It isn’t available outside the US and the UK, so I can’t try it yet, but I will as soon as I get access.

@AutoTLDR the other bot talks too much, please summarize this

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world could you please compare the advantages and disadvantages of having a general-purpose chatbot available in an online forum that can answer any questions, whether relevant to the conversation or not?

And people are seriously considering federating with Threads if it implements ActivityPub. Things have been so crazy recently that I think If Satan existed and started a Lemmy instance, probably there would still be people arguing in good faith for federating with him.

Lol that’s like saying there’s too much porn on /r/gonewild

“Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes.”

Companies like Meta poison everything they touch. They are a deeply evil, psychopathic organization. They are responsible for causing extremely harmful runaway effects in human society that I’m not even sure are possible to fix. The very reason for Lemmy's recent popularity is that people are fed up with the "if something is free, you aren't the user, you are the product" situation and its consequences (see Reddit vs. /u/spez).

Their intent to federate is a blatantly obvious attempt at an "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy - I'm surprised anyone seriously considers federating with them. They need users to solve the "chicken and egg" problem and joining the fediverse would be an easy way for them to populate their service with content. Their motivations are obviously and transparently malicious and self-serving. They don't care about the goals and values of the fediverse at all, all they see is an easy way to gain initial users and content. At the first moment federation will be more inconvenient than useful to them, after they sucked all the profit they could out of it, they will drop the entire thing like a hot potato, and we will be left in the dust.

I personally like this instance very much, and I've been putting hours and hours of work into building the AUAI community since the day I joined. But I wouldn't hesitate for a second before deleting my account and never looking back if the community here decided to federate with Meta.

EDIT: another explanation of why they want to join the fediverse

If I remember correctly, the properties the API returns are comment_score and post_score.

Lemmy does have karma, it is stored in the DB, and the API returns it. It just isn’t displayed on the UI.

@AutoTLDR

TIL. Thank you! (Now I will ssh into all my VPSes and set this up!)

(cool username btw)

Wow, an actually good summary of what the problem is with Reddit

I think the incentives are a bit different here. If we can keep the threadiverse nonprofit, and contribute to the maintenance costs of the servers, it might stay a much friendlier place than Reddit.

We should do an AmA with her!

Here people actually react to what I post and write. And they react to the best possible interpretation of what I wrote, not the worst. And even if we disagree, we can still have a nice conversation.

Does anyone have a good theory about why the threadiverse is so much friendlier? Is it only because it's smaller? Is it because of the kind of people a new platform like this attracts? Because there is no karma? Maybe something else?

The best hacker is of course the one who can guess the password the fastest (all-lowercase, dictionary word).

My favorite, the formalizer:

This describes 99% of AI startups.

The company I work for was considering using Mendable for AI-powered documentation search. I built a prototype using OpenAI embeddings and GPT-3.5 that was just as good as their product in a day. They didn’t buy Mendable :)

They’re complaining that if there is a single word in an entire file that Copilot considers “bad”, it will not work at all in that file.
