For me, it’s neither strength nor weakness. I’m a boring old fart, I’m not here for politics.

Because mastodon is the Linux of social media. One day it will be ready for the average user…

Not just open source. It needs to have a sustainable community of developers. I’m not interested in a project that dies when the one maintainer has other priorities (been there with another lemmy app) Open source just means anyone can fork it and carry on, but if nobody does, it still dies.

Off to check if ‘civil war in the USA’ is on my bingo card.

About as close as we are to nuclear fusion. AI generation of shit will always be one step ahead of AI detection

I saw the original post in TIL, not in a political community where it may be (slightly) more acceptable. It’s never ok to divert reports of criminality away from the authorities and towards political organisations. And listing a bunch of phone numbers of a political organisation without stating their affiliation is misleading.

I have not googled them all, i don’t care enough, but the ones i checked are democrat offices. And votesaveamerica is a democrat PAC

I thought about reporting it, but not sure if it meets the criteria to be deleted so added my views to that post instead. Edit: sod it, i reported the other post

Thank you, good work.

By learned you mean found it on facebook or x and applied zero critical thinking before posting it here? It’s from a democrats aligned organisation and lists phone numbers of local democrat offices. So it’s bad advice, they are not independent or impartial. (And just to be clear: i don’t have a vote in this election)

This suggests they are far from independent. Go with the advice above people. Edit: i cannot find the hotline page anywhere on their site.

Unfortunately not on ios, but thank you

Not a word on what it is or how it works. Marketing hype most likely.

I don’t disagree, but it’s probably not that easy. Universities in my country don’t have the resources anymore to do many orals, and depending on the subject exams don’t test the same skills as coursework.

It’s not just the internet. For example, students are handing in essays straight from ChatGPT. Uni scanners flag it and the students may fail. But there is no good evidence either side, the uni side detection is unreliable (and unlikely to improve on false positives, or negatives for that matter) and it’s hard for the student to prove they did not use an LLM. Job seekers send in LLM generated letters. Consultants probably give LLM based reports to clients. We’re doomed.

You are mother? U r not making yourself very clear here

Agreed, it is totally subjective. For me, 5 posts in quick succession, all linking to the same website, is spammy, and i will downvote it. Interesting technology, but one post with a link is enough for me. But i respect anyone’s right to disagree and upvote the posts.
