We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.

But in all seriousness, this feels like the chronological feed given to users was just a straw man intended to make their algorithm look better. Also the claim in the article that Meta's algorithm does not impact users politics is completely ridiculous and not at all supported by a study like this.

It's actually very different. An AI is not something that you just go build and then it's immediately useful. One an AI is built it needs to be trained in a process where it is exposed to examples of real works (text, image, video, etc) and "learns" how to reproduce similar works. This learning process involves using the real works to fine tune parameters of a large mathematical model. These tuned parameters are what make the AI an AI and not just a useless pile of random numbers. So arguably, the owner of every work used to train the model is as much a contributor to the AI as the AI company itself.

These media companies not only want to use artists' works to train a model that they will not be given any ownership of, they want to also own the rights to an artist's image and likeness to be able to reproduce that image and likeness in a potentially infinite number of derived works without needing to compensate the artist.

Pillars of Eternity 2. I'm not all that far in, but I've been loving it so far. The characters and story feel really well crafted, and there's just a ton of variability in how you can construct your party and progress. Hopefully the quality continues throughout since the first POE felt like it ended abruptly.

It's also an oppressive police state where huge portions of the population live in poverty and endure awful working conditions. Oh and they're actively engaged in genocide against a minority ethnic group. But sure if we just ignore all the downsides it's great.

Elden Ring is honestly pretty easy with the right builds. It's just hard really hard on a first blind playthrough since you won't know what the good items are and where to find them.

But then you have to change accounts, which I understand isn't difficult, though it's still something that needs to be done proactively by the user. Would be nice to just have a better content ranking algorithm that gives smaller communities a chance.

Dayumn gotta get me some Lemmy plat to be a big baller.

As a former Boost for Reddit user I've been digging Jerboa. Definitely going to check out Boost for Lemmy once it's available too.

$100k avg salary for a New York tech company? The lowest level employees there almost certainly make well above that. If we're talking avg salary it's probably at least $200k.

This is my concern as well. Sure there will be some pretty obvious calls, but there are definitely going to be a bunch of BS flopping calls as well. It's also quite obvious that the refs will be completely incapable of enforcing this consistently since they currently fall for flopping antics all the time.

Appears that this doesn't include July numbers. I think most of the people leaving Reddit, myself included, didn't do it until our 3rd party apps actually got killed on July 1st. Will be interesting to see these numbers at the end of the month.

I like it a lot. Feels like early days Reddit. I do miss some of the niche reddit communities, but on the other hand the main lemmy continues seem much more approachable. My biggest complaint is that Lemmy can be pretty slow at times.
