So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯
A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯
I am very laid back (my Dad always said I was nearly horizontal) and I never get angry, I rarely even get flustered or impatient. My Dad was a very good man and I try to follow his example as much as possible. As his health declined and I started caring for him (a real privilege as he helped so many it was only just that he got help in return when he needed it, even if it couldn’t possibly fully pay him back) and, as I picked up some of his slack I did wonder where he found the time or energy. Since he died, I have felt like a sheepdog without a flock and have found myself adopting various people - I helped a friend through her cancer journey and her son start university, I took another friend to hospital sufficiently often that she just told the staff I was her “hospital husband” (which did stop them asking questions, usually with a roll of the eyes) and, as I don’t drink, I ferry people home from the pub.
However, I can be… thoughtless and this can be really annoying, especially to the easily angered - I’ve lost a friend over it and my brother isn’t exactly my greatest fan (the other year, my niece asked if I wanted to know all the nasty things my brother said about me and I declined - if we knew what people thought about us, we’d tear each other apart). I can also be rude to people but just where it’s funny, you just have to know your audience (it can appal any bystanders though). I’m also not very emotionally expressive and I suspect at least one friend thinks I’m a sociopath.
So am I nice? Although it might depend on who you ask, I’d say no. However, I try to do as much good as possible - if anyone needs help, I’ll drop what I’m doing and pitch in.
What I do when I have spare time: write. I just don’t seem to have had any spare time recently.
still not 100% convinced defederating isn’t, ultimately, going to be the answer though
It may be, but only as a last resort.
So I think we need some kind of step by step “If you see X, then do Y” sticked to the instances that care about this for the people who (like me) do care about this issue.
Yes, the map of thr Fediverse needs “here be dragons” sprinkled around.
Awesome - I switched my subs
Too general.
Yes, I am.noy 100% sure if it is still working but if you have anything to promote it’s worth a go.
I feel the centralization of communities on WORLD is a far greater and thus more urgent issue for me.
It’s definitely a big issue too and why it is a good idea to suggest people start alternatives somewhere other than l.w, as is being done in this discussion.
I think that’s a really cool idea, but I am apprehensive about unforseen consequences.
Well there are a few that are easy enough to forsee and it would make me wary of doing it myself. I think the current system works OK, but I am interested to see how it works out.
It is now, but what I mean is that if we expect people to see it from All, we need to sub to it from accounts on the biggest instances.
That’s what Lemmy Federate (formerly known as Lemmy Community Boost) does.
FYI: I am currently crafting a.post on discoverablity.
Given thr way AI is prone to hallucinations, they should definitely have a go at building them. Might solve our problems for us.
