Maybe read something from Jordan Peterson? He's conservative, against gender politics or modern life. Sells 'simple truths' that look well reasoned if you're not too intelligent (or don't believe in equality...) I think he wrote several books and has lots of YouTube videos available.

Roughly C, C++, Python, Java... But not all of them on an expert level.

Aren't HTML and XML markup languages and not turing complete? So they don't qualify as programming languages, because you can't program in them?

What's with the Republicans, don't they like their country and democracy any more?

They're fairly known to do this. For YouTube creators it's been this way for years. With nobody at the other side, just AI. Every now and then some YouTuber makes a video how they were able to restore their account against all odds.

I mean with that it's bad because peoples livelihood is on the line. But also getting a regular Google account can have serious consequences. People use it to login to other services, have half their lives stored there and their phones connected.

And I think there is a general push towards AI powered customer support. I'm afraid in 10 years it'll be very hard to reach anyone that can help you if it's not the standard procedure. And it'll be more a sci-fi dystopia. With most companies and contracts.

Hmmh. Good reminder not to rely on these cloud services too much. And I mean the terms and services are kinda vague and enforced by a (rogue) AI. She could have stored murder mystery stories to the same effect.

The answer is spread amonst the comments you've already got.

It's a combination of regular bans, IP bans, moderators knowing the 'regulars' and recognizing their (bad) behaviour. And the Lemmy admins have a Matrix chat(?) room where they exchange info.

You should call the crisis line line of your country and get someone to listen to you. Not just the civil services but someone who might actually care. Seems you arrived at the bottom. But you're not alone or the only one who's in a really bad place.

Simple answer: We don't have any computer to run that on. While I don't see any absolute limitations ruling out that approach... The human brain seems to have hundreds or thousands of trillions of connections. With analog electrical impulses and chemistry. That's still sci-fi and even the largest supercomputers can't do it as of today. I think scientists already did it for smaller brains like those from flies(?), so the concept should work.

And then there is the question what are you going to do with it. You can't just kill a human, freeze the brain, slice it and then digitize it by looking at a microscope a trillion times. So you have to make it learn from ground up. And this requires a connection to a body. So you also need to simulate a whole body and the world it's in on top. To make it learn anything and not just activate random neurons. So that's going to be sci-fi (like the Matrix) for the near and mid future.

Adding Automatic1111 API support in addition to the Horde would be a good idea. For people who don't have a GPU, it's also fine to use the Horde. And if you have resources to spare, it would also be a great idea to contribute to the Horde by running a worker.

Otherwise I think this project is fine. The devs seem to like to see their software being used. And they invented the 'Kudos' to handle this. And in my opinion building ontop of a solid service is better than reinventing the wheel all the time.

They once wrote a blog post explaining their opinion (specifically about paid services): https://dbzer0.com/blog/what-about-paid-services-on-top-of-the-ai-horde/

Completely agree. First of all the voting behaviour. To me it looks completely like a score if a specific opinion is popular. I see lots of valid arguments (in friendly words) against a popular opinion getting downvoted. Urban legends getting upvoted while the correct answer has 2 upvotes... Things that are the first thing that comes to mind after reading the headline, but not part of the article at all getting a good amount of upvotes...

And with the sarcasm, innuendo, emotions, playing devils advocate... It's a long tradition on the internet to add hints to the text to make that clear. It's not mandatory in any way, but the subtext, verbal clues and facial expressions are definitely missing. Reddit folks have their own jargon with the '/s' etc. Other people use emojis. But even before emojis were a thing, people added ;-) :'-) or XD or other clues.

Sarcasm just doesn't work that well in text comments and it never has.

Sure. As long as they grant you the permit, they've granted you the right to free speech. And I suppose that's also why they're almost never declined.
