Well shit, that’s concerning. Even if it’s more nuanced than it seems at first glance… Which, to be fair, is probably even more nefarious in the end. Terms agreements are wack enough to begin with.

Silly me, I thought it was gay
What I’m referring to is the Baldur’s Gate 3 fiasco. I don’t know how things panned out, but people were turning away from it at the time. Admins were aware/involved as far as I know remember.
Wonder how long that will stand. Also hasn’t 1337 been deemed unsafe, or is it back on good terms?
I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao
Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.
This is literally the last thing I expected the thread to lead to. After last, even. I love it lmao

This is a great move! Facilitating a direct conversation between corporation and customer is great for all!
It clearly ingests and expels sand for rocket-like propulsion, but Neil can’t even get cool with it.
To me that sounds an awful lot like TikTok being closer to good old American media than some Chinese psyop.
I, for one, only want domestic adversaries abusing my personal information. Actual rocks and fence posts are smarter than this.
I have also been searching for a microblogging instance that doesn’t have so many random blocks. It seems most instances block more liberally than even the more closed off Lemmy instances. Due to the sheer size of mastodon and number of other services, it kind of makes sense. I’m definitely getting paralysis-by-analysis trying to choose, though. It might help to consider newer forks like iceshrimp and sharkey, too, even just for their functionality. Or maybe that will make choosing harder? Lol *you already mentioned forks, my mistake!
But still, like I said, I haven’t landed on anything in particular. It just seems more segmented, whereas with Lemmy, the biggest instances have pretty much identical front pages. I fear missing out on something too much…
Sorry if I’m kind of rambling and not really any help. Your post just reflected my experience of trying to find something. Hopefully we’ll get there!
I wouldn’t say “the cloud” is exactly in the same realm. It’s broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it’s a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.
I think I’m talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren’t the only things with money behind them.
