whatever minor body of irrelevant five-follower internet loons might bother trying to argue the literal uselessness of a predictive text generator

/c/techtakes mention!?

Leider 94 Tage zu spät pfostiert und nicht mehr lustig.

Wenn man bewusst einen Überblick über aktuelle Geschehnisse bekommen will, ist ein Besuch auf https://dw.com/ (weltweit) und https://tagesschau.de/ (🇩🇪) immer zu empfehlen.

Nein, das ist ganz falsch! Studien haben belegt, dass in den 5 Sekunden zwischen dem Öffnen der Schachtel und dem ersten Bissen 95% der Vitamine durch Oxidation zerfallen. Nur wenn man in einem Bissen den Burger samt knackiger Schachtel abbeißt, erhält man den vollen Nährwert.

Ihr könnt mir da vertrauen, meine Cousine ist Burgerologin!

Erstaunliche Konvergenz mit !superbowl@lemmy.world in meinem Feed heute.

Zum Glück hab ich den pfostierten Text nicht gelesen, und konnte dieses erquickende Christoph Waltz MichMich unironisch genießen.

Ob sogenannte soßen-offene GenKI wirklich soßen-offen ist, ist diskutabel.

zlngModelle mit offenen Gewichten sind eher mit Freewarezu vergleichen, und auch wenn Trainings-Algorithmen offen sind, können sie nicht ohne BigTech Infrastruktur und Datensätze rekreiert werden.

Davon unabhängig bin ich der Meinung, dass GenKI Nutzung die Fähigkeit zum kreativen Ausdruck verkümmern lässt, hervorragendend visualisiert vom Nutzenden @bobtimus_prime@feddit.org .

I haven't watched it. I don't know how well she will cover the subject or how deep the rabbit hole she will venture.

All I know is she's delightful and I sure as hell won't read that bilge myself, so I'm looking forward to an entertaining summary.

Edit: I watched it. I had a good time.

So I recently got an excuse rant about my opinions on federated tech. I think it's pretty much the best we can hope for in terms of liberating tech, with very few niches where fully distributed tech is preferable.

Needing a server places users under the power of the server administrator. Why do we bother? "No gods, no masters, no admins!' I hear you shout. Well, there's a couple reasons...

Maybe using software is just an intrinsically centralized activity. One or a few people design and code it, and an unlimited number of people can digitally replicate and use it. Sure, it may be free software that everyone can inspect and modify... but how many people will really bother? (Nevermind that most people don't even have the skills necessary.)

Okay, so we always kind of rely on a central-ish dev team when we use tech. Why rely on admins on top of that? I believe the vast vast majority of people doesn't have the skills and time to operate a truly independent node of a fully distributed tech. Let's take Jami as an example:

"With the default name server (ns.jami.net), the usernames are registered on an Ethereum blockchain."

So a feature of Jami is (for most users) implemented as a centralized service. Yikes. You could build and run your own name server (with less embarrassing tech choices hopefully), but who will really bother?

But say you bothered, wouldn't it be nice if your friends could use that name server too, and gain a little independence? That sounds a lot like decentralized/federated tech.

Keeping a decent service online is a pain in the butt. Installing SW updates, managing backups, paying for hardware and name services... nevermind just the general bothering to understand all that mess. And moderation, don't forget moderation. I'm saying it's not for everyone (and we should appreciate the fuck out of [local admin]).

I believe that servers and admins are our best bet for actual non-centralized tech. A tech-literate person tending a service for a small- to medium-size community is much more feasible than every person running their independent node (which will probably still depend on something centralized).

And maybe that's just the way we bring good ol' division of labour to the Internet. You have your shoemaker, your baker, your social media admin. A respectable and useful position in society. And they lived happily ever after.

 

Apparently a senior SW engineer got fired for questioning readiness of the product, dude must still be chuckling to himself.
