  • A lot of the AI stuff is a Pandora’s box situation. The box is already open, there’s no closing it back. AI art, AI music, and AI movies will become increasingly high quality and widespread.

    The biggest thing we still have a chance to influence with it is whether it’s something that individuals have access to or if it becomes another field dominated by the same tech giants that already own everything. An example is people being against stable diffusion because it’s trained by individuals on internet images, but then being ok with a company like Adobe doing it because they snuck a line into their ToS that they can train AI off of anything uploaded to their creative cloud.





  • Yeah, and the user experience matters a lot right now. The reddit blackout is the best chance for rapid Lemmy/fediverse growth, so giving the best user experience right now is critical. Users who are new to the fediverse are already confused by the multiple instances, adding in extra conditions like “don’t join these communities because you can’t interact with this community” adds an extra level of complexity and makes the fediverse seem fractured and flawed as a first impression.

    Beehaw’s decision to defiderate may have been the best short-term decision for them, but I feel like it’s a terrible decision for the rest of the fediverse and will hurt growth.




  • Xenoblade is great, definitely one of my favorite series. I remember stumbling across a xenoblade community on a lemmy server that was called possum something, but I think it was empty and I haven’t found it again.

    I’m playing through Yakuza like a dragon right now and it’s a pretty interesting twist on a JRPG. I definitely prefer the combat to the beat-em-up yakuza games.
