I don't like having to defend the Times, but the rumor is that they rushed this story out before Christopher Rufo could break the news (with what would almost certainly be a right-wing spin).

I doubt the Times would ever admit to publishing a story with the goal of hindering the formation of a right-wing narrative but in this case if they did, it might have been the right call as opposed to waiting for Rufo and publishing a "fact check" of his reporting later.

I think quote posts are undesirable for the reasons you mentioned but I have to accept that it will be huge for adoption, and the flip side (promoting others work in a positive light) is also going to be really great.

I like where your head's at, but Mastodon's system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn't rely on a third party.

Lemmy does feel more and more like 4chan every day...

Not positive but IIRC with Fedora you can change updates to weekly/monthly etc.

Star Trek VI is the best one, IMO. It has:

  • Historical allegories
  • Political intrigue
  • Mystery
  • Anti-racist themes
  • Spaceship battles
  • Awkward Chekhov

We're simultaneously in a place where there are more options than ever, and yet it's become increasingly clear there are really only 4-5 options.

BASHIR: Out of all the episodes of star trek, which ones were canon and which ones weren't?

GARAK: My dear Doctor, they're all canon.

BASHIR: Even the non-cannonical ones?

GARAK: Especially the non-cannonical ones.

Does it count as "a human" if it's a bot reposting human-made content for the 50th time?

I know he's just selling the platform to AI companies, but it's an odd take considering they've been moving away from being a message board and towards being just another content feed for years now.

This is pretty fucked up, OP
