I know this goes against the whole culture but we are going to do it anyway -Digg, Reddit, Twitter, Bluesky, etc.
Fuck AI
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
I really wonder if Mastodon would have done better with a nicer, more techy name. Also, it’s silly but the double @ usernames look worse than the AT proto usernames.
I'd argue that it was more to do with the fediverse setup being confusing/complicated, if you're not used to it.
People would think you'd need to sign up to all the servers that you wanted to access, rather than using just one account for everything.
I get the same vibes from this woman I get from Sam Altman and Zuckerberg … just this cold, dead, vacant stare like there isn’t anything caring behind those eyes.
Ceo material

I can kinda see the idea. Instead of putting the AI recommendation engine in the app, you have a separate app for it. Instead of relying on your behaviour, you decide what to prompt it to recommend.
But I think I'm probably being way too optimistic with this perspective description. If it is like I just described, though, I can see why some people would want to use it.
But it would likely still have to rely on collecting behavioural data to be any good, and it would cost humongous amounts of energy and resources... For very little benefit.

if only this could have been foreseen!
had there been a better alternative!

It's literally a twitter clone, what did you expect?
Just get off twitter, FFS. That entire website is a bane on humanity.
They're not doing anything to the app though, this is a standalone thing.
