“I went to places where people congregate for this kind of thing and was surprised there weren’t people calling it out”

Well DUH. The normal people see that shit and don’t bother to register an account on the forum to post. And if they do, the mods removed it. How is that surprising at all? There are numerous instances on Lemmy that have the same behaviour(albeit for normal hobbies). Are you really surprised that in the Conservative instances it’s not wall to wall “you guys suck”?

This is just confirmation bias. You found what you were looking for while actively searching it out.

As much as I want to hate the researchers for this, how are you going to ethically test whether you can manipulate people without… manipulating people. And isn’t there an argument to be made for harm reduction? I mean, this stuff is already going on. Do we just ignore it or only test it in sanitized environments that won’t really apply to the real world?

I dunno, mostly just shooting the shit, but I think there is an argument to be made that this kind of research and it’s results are more valuable than the potential harm. Tho the way this particular research team went about it, including changing the study fundamentally without further approval, does pose problems.

It’s really nice when the false progressives out themselves so openly.

For me it’s having a kind of Streisand Effect… Is there a mass torrent of just Sony songs I can grab? Cus fuck em, I want it just out of spite

Some info about your partner? Age maybe? I have a group on discord. That’s where I found mine(on a generic social server, but it worked).

Yeah, this was cool until all the steps show it’s not “his brain”. It’s a genetic facsimile.

Exactly this. People who hate facism telling you you have no choice in your vote. Umm… that’s… kinda fascist…

Dude was quoting a Rush song buddy… As much as I hate memes in a serious convo, that’s what that was.

Again, how exactly did my vote in California, that in the end voted for Kamala, help trump AT ALL.

It didn’t and you’re just full of shit. Literally all that would happen, if let’s say I voted 10000 times illegally, is that Kamala would have still lost. I could have convinced all of California to vote blue and… checks notes Kamala still would have lost, but the popular vote would have been even more depressing.

You just want to be mad at someone instead of any sort of self reflection. You’re a leftist MAGA.

How. Explain how. How did my vote in California, that voted for Kamala, affect others negatively? Please, I’d love to hear your bullshit excuse. Literally all you are doing is another “us vs them” fight that divides us. So please, let’s hear some logic and facts about those my vote personally lost us the election. I’ll wait.

You do realized I could’ve falsely voted HUNDREDS OF TIMES for Kamala and we’d still have lost, right? Like, you know how electoral votes vs popular vote works, right? Cus I really don’t think you do.

Hey, I’d like to introduce you to shades of gray. I live in California. I in fact, can protest vote. Because guess what? We still majorily vote blue no matter fucking what. So what now? How am I complicit when my state voted for Kamala?

This is such a tired bullshit argument. You just want someone to be angry at. You’re no different than a MAGA with your lack of logic.

When will you people learn “fuck you, accept this candidate or else” doesn’t work? You can’t blackmail and extort your constituents.

You keep missing the point so hard I think it’s intentional.

First off, necessary and recommended are two very different things. 4chan running for the last decade on outdated software with no backups is proof that you absolutely can run things without a backup. It’s not wise, but not REQUIRED.

Secondly, OP was up there acting like 5Tb is prohibitively expensive and is gonna keep instances from being made. As me and other hobbyist have pointed out, 5tb is a joke. Those of us running little bullshit servers have WAY more. So asking someone trying to set up a social media server to have 5TB is nothing. If that seems like a lot to you, then you shouldn’t even try because it’s clearly way beyond your depth.

You literally just described my Jellyfin, minus the raid because I don’t feel like setting it up. Think all in all I’m down about $1200 for it. Not thousands. You do realized a 12TB NAS drive is $200, right? Only reason my build cost as much is because I have a few 2TB ssds in there which were just leftovers from the PC anyways. I could’ve done it all for $500.

Off-site backup isn’t required. Nice, but not required at all. In the literal sense, you don’t need it. It’s good to have, but an extra.

So yeah, 5TB, literally the only metric I was discussing, isn’t much. Maybe in the future the person should say all the nuance and not “5TB is unreasonable for the average person”. It’s not. Plain and simple.

My Jellyfin server is 6 times that… And my gaming PC is double that… Seriously, this person thinks 5TB is a lot? Don’t we have SD Cards/Flash Drives this big now? I’d be WAY more concerned about the bandwidth requirements.

Edit: laughing my ass off at the downvotes. Yes, my server has 30TB. Yes my PC has around 12TB. It wasn’t expensive or hard. The hard drives in my Jellyfin are NAS drives… Bunch of people acting like you need quantum computers to run a node lmfao. Storage space is easy. It’s the networking and bandwidth part that’s hard. So yeah, complaining that 5TB of storage puts it out of reach of the average person when one 12tb NAS drive cost $200? Just bitching. Plain and simple.

Did that actually get confirmed? I saw that as well but it wasn’t confirmed as best as I can tell. RIP if true. Dude was a legend.

Right? Like “You wanted me to notice you? Oh I noticed you now. And while I’m aware of you, let’s just go ahead and take away some of your permissions…”

Whooooosh

If the AI summary is incorrect, then his point about trusting AI is incorrect. If the AI summary is correct, then it contradicts what he said the definition is and he is once again incorrect. Literally, no matter what, he’s wrong. It’s was a fun way to show the absurdity of blindly trusting AI. His logic itself is flawed.

that’s funny, cus the AI summary for “what is a factoid” told me it’s an incorrectly believed idea. So which is it? Is the AI correct and you’re wrong, or is the AI incorrect and you’re still wrong?
