I wonder what happened to the Japanese team whose AI-based art work was deemed "an insult to life itself" by Hayao Miyazaki. Having a cursory knowledge of Japanese culture revolving around honor and figures of authority, I fear for the worst. -

@Woozle Hypertwin No, it's a gateway drug to libertarianism! Kids, don't do centrism, stay in school! -

I was wondering how some people have so many things to post when I have so few, and then I realized you aren’t getting all the thoughts I first shared with my partner and didn’t feel compelled to put in writing afterwards. -

@Hank G ☑️ I don't have a good enough grasp on general finance to believe there can be micropayments without involving banks or an equally centralized institution. -

@Cătălin Petrescu I'm on the fence about cryptocurrency. Most notably, the anonymity of Satoshi Nakamoto that still hasn't been uncovered sheds doubt about the original intentions. The fact that these intentions have only (and can only) materialized on the fringe of this technology makes me think the intentions were likely to be more closely aligned with what cryptocurrency became better known for. -

@Andy H3 Ha ha, thank you, I’m good. This post wasn’t meant to launch a full self-discovery search, rather a cheeky literary joke with a double entendre to boot. -

I’m not entirely happy the most visible innovations in online technology in the past ten years have been entirely motivated by the ad industry (pivot to video, short form content) or selling artificially scarce digital goods (NFT, Metaverse).
On the bright side, the #Fediverse is a breath of fresh air with no obvious way of exploiting it for profit. It’ll come, of course, but it wasn’t the original motivation for its creation and it’s already something. -

@OutsourcedMath Friendica Server Admin To be fair, my decision to leave Twitter was politically motivated, the announced changes to the API were just the final straw I needed to make the jump. It had a deadline, drastic changes that could have impacted my experience, it was the perfect reason, whether they were going forward with them or not. -

@silverwizard I’ve seen the advent of “free” newspaper, the “pivot to video”, the concentration of news outlet ownership into fewer and fewer hands, AI-generated articles… I can’t know exactly how it was before, but Internet seems to have played a role in the trend. -

I'm not entirely happy to have witnessed in my lifetime most news outlets switch from ads supporting their journalism to journalism supporting their ads. -

What gets to me the most about #LLM #AI software is that someone saw Brandolini’s Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law and thought “I should add more bullshit to the world, at scale”. -

I have been informed there might be transphobes among my followers, so I'll just state that trans rights are human rights. This is not up for debate, if it offends you, just unfollow me. In conversation from friendica.mrpetovan.com permalink -

@paloma kop ✦ Oh, maybe he’s part of an underground crime ring that uses carrier pigeons and pay for services with thick gold coins? In conversation from friendica.mrpetovan.com permalink -

The other day I was walking on a #Brooklyn sidewalk when I saw a man throw some crumbs on the floor for the pigeons to eat. I was starting to get annoyed when he produced a handmade net catcher and with a swift movement betraying a long experience, caught a couple of bids attracted by the food.
I have no idea what he did with them (eat? sell?) but I’m glad he’s doing this service to the city 🫡

@Brian Ó I believe the original joke was that London was a hell of its own even before falling, but I wouldn't miss a chance to promote Failbetter Games' work. In conversation from friendica.mrpetovan.com permalink
