Aaargh it looks so cool and futuristic but I know it’s impractical as hell

Some people have jerked it to fully clothed women. Ought we ban every woman from twitch? Maybe enforce hijabs?

??? Nobody is expected to go nude because of this change. What are you talking about?

I’m extremely skeptical of medical diagnosis AIs. Without being able to explain why it comes to a conclusion, how do we know it won’t just accidentally find correlations? One example I heard of recently was an AI that was extremely good at detecting TB… based on the age of the machine that took the x-ray. Because it turns out places with older machines tend to be poorer, and poorer places tend to have more TB.

The only positive use I can think of is time saving measures. A researcher can feed a study to ChatGPT and have it write a rough first draft of the abstract. A Game Master could ask it for inspiration on the next few game sessions if they’re underprepared. An internet commenter could ask it for a third example of how it could save time.

But for anything serious, until it can explain why it comes to the conclusions it comes to, and can understand when a human says “no, you’re doing it wrong,” I can’t see it being a real force for good.

I think better communication about what federation is would help. I keep seeing folks say it’s like email, but that assumes the average person understands how email works.

We should start describing it as “like if Reddit, Digg, and Hacker News could see and comment on each other’s content”
