I went down the rabbit hole and holy fuck, this is terrifying. It's a woowoo doomsday cult for kids.

Hope she's still living her best kitty life.

OpenAI being Sued for "Stealing" Peoples Content Online in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] rosatherad@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

People are humanizing computer programs way too much, and thus, we have arguments like this. An AI language model is not one of those sci-fi AIs that live in spaceships and talk to the crew. AI language models do not have individuality, creativity, consciousness, or free will. They are computer programs doing math to turn inputs into outputs.

This is a good idea! Go nuts for a while, see how you feel.

how to make the 5th sage more useful? in c/totk@lemmy.world

[–] rosatherad@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I find her helpful in combat as long as you don't pilot her. I like to give her a frost emitter on one arm and a monster horn on the other.

Is kbin.social anti-corporation? Should it be? in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

[–] rosatherad@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago

The safest and most effective way to prevent Meta from destroying ActivityPub is to never give them so much as an inch. They WILL embrace, extend, extinguish if given the chance. Defederate from ALL Meta-owned instances. Be vocal about it. Tell other instances to do the same.

Reports of coup attempt in Russia. in c/news@beehaw.org

My heart aches for all the citizens living in Russia who have to live in fear because they're ruled by a tyrant dictator. If this news is true, things will only get worse for them. I hope the people can escape, or better: live in a better Russia with leaders who treat them like human beings.

It's wishful thinking, I know. Please stay strong, my Russian friends! Justice will be served one day!

Why do some people have a extreme hate for Furries? in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

[–] rosatherad@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

It's a knee-jerk disgust reaction towards any group different from the norm. Furries are also overwhelming queer, so homophobia ties a lot into it.

Think of the first music video that comes to mind. What is it? in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

[–] rosatherad@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You made me rickroll myself. Never Gonna Give You Up is so iconic online, how could it not be the first thing that comes to mind?

Second one that came to mind was Somebody That I Used To Know.

Frankly, I don't watch music videos, so internet memes are the majority of my exposure to them.

What were some "bad habits" on reddit that we should try to avoid bringing over here? in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

[–] rosatherad@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I'm doing my part. It's a hard habit to break, but it'll be worth it. If this interpretation of the system catches on, then there should be less echo chambers as a result, because different perspectives will be accepted and not shunned.

[Discussion] I don't think this format makes a lot of sense for the fediverse in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[–] rosatherad@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Exactly this. I see a lot of people suggesting the fediverse be more centralized because they're so used to centralized platforms.
