They can also do intelligent searching and simply surface links.

Do I trust LLM summaries? Not fully. But how about the strategy used by an app like BeyondPDF for Mac:

Think: Firefox does the search, then gives you the sources and the most likely relevant excerpts from each. Consequences of it searching wrong? A small waste of time, but no misinfo.

Sidebar!

One can be against environmental costs of great machine-learning powered search, and offended by the arguable IP theft that created the tools, but it’s unlikely all those who say they “don’t want AI anything!” really mean that entirely.

“I don’t want or need the current version of ChatGPT for my use cases” is very fair though. Maybe they don’t have any SQL queries or Excel formulas - on the edge of their abilities - to build, or text to beautify, or quirky esoteric philosophy to bounce off a robot…

I agree it gets complex for users. But pushing back a bit, wouldn’t we instead say:

We could tell new users “Sign up on Lemmy.com and if you decide you don’t like the UI aren’t a pedophile just choose an alternative and use the same credentials to sign in make sure you start blocking.”

I have in mind that the top blocked instances are pedo oriented. Also seems like it would create a liability issue for servers mirroring that content.

Although it’s not a perfect solution to choose a default instance for new users, I do think it’s a powerful question to eliminate.

Can also make better money without looking like the bad guy by only releasing a small portion of tickets for general sale. Sell the rest offline to brokers who will put them on the secondary market.

Scalpers look like the bad guys while you rake in what you feel you deserve - and even have the market’s apparent willingness to pay to back it up.

Well said

(not saying you are middle class or in a first world country, but given you are on lemmy and know what the nitrogen cycle is, it’s statistically likely).

And even cracking smiles with that :)

Hey that’s Fred Rogers you’re talking about here!

:(

I was surprised Hamas allowed it after the fake CIA vaccination thing with Osama.

How much $ you saving (or any other motivations)?

Don’t have frames of reference so perhaps what proportion less are you paying by doing this?

Assuming it’s no small sum/% given risks called out by you and a couple others. Glad you got a discussion going so you can give it all more thought!

Uneducated here, how?

Nice, @[email protected], we feeling heard? 😉

Great trial! Will see if you end up feeling a need to iterate sometime later!

Thanks for fighting for accuracy, desperately needed in the modern era.

Can you make a change today so that The Guardian & Breitbart would never appear to be similarly [un]credible at first glance?

If not, a small pause could make sense. Better than damaging credibility not much of established news agencies perhaps but certainly the bot, limiting its impact in the future even if the problem’s corrected (think insta-downvotes from older users once burned by it). Folks respect pauses for refactoring!

Maybe MBFC isn’t tops and there’s some attractive alternative btw!

PS: thanks @[email protected] for the alarm

Wow neat!! Eating our cake & having it

Thanks @[email protected]

I have this brilliant original idea, scroll down, and here you & @[email protected] are…

I was thinking an app like Voyager could help vote from a non-posting account. Maybe it’d need to route through a proxy to better obscure the connection between a posting and non-posting account. Seeing PieFed, suppose you could try that route instead but your idea might be more secure. Folks just have to trust you I suppose hehe. Maybe one could build greater trust with a Lemmy app (Voyager) than an instance (PieFed) if they proved the app kept stuff private locally, or am I wrong?

To spam on here I suppose it’d be good to try to start a popular community on your own instance and then see who usually reports and downvotes spam, then block them from accounts you plan to use to astroturf or otherwise send spam.

Sigh

Pro-independence Kanak parties use the name (la) Kanaky

Seems you’d want to understand # of errors/omissions/mistruths as a proportion of total news stories, and the impact of and reason for those issues.

Get a sense Guardian is quite trustworthy but it would require a much more extensive look than the fact checker appears to have taken (and obviously than I’ve taken). Thanks for recommending caution here.

So if Sea Shepherd’s attacks were all honest, there would be less vitriol?

Does he lie in a specific way that implicates innocent people? (vs. lying in a way that garners broader attention and the attention is what drives the additional hate) Curious for some examples as someone low-information on the subject.

The one that’s all… ski ski, pew pew pew, ski ski ski? How did that one get started…

Wonder if this should be disabled for sources scoring medium or higher…

Interesting. Surprising you’d rape someone you’re not sexually attracted to. Quite sick in any case.
