  • Links wie rechts locke der Algorithmus die Leute in immer radikalere, intolerantere Blasen.

    Das ist mittlerweile auch meine größte Befürchtung. Es passiert so viel auf der Welt und es wird über so viel berichtet, dass du jemanden wirklich 24/7 mit Nachrichten zu schütten kannst und trotzdem noch alles mögliche auslassen kannst, was nicht in’s politische Lager passt.

    Das sorgt dann dafür, dass sich beide Seiten gut informiert fühlen, auch immer wieder in ihrem Schubladendenken bestätigt fühlen, weil der Algorithmus oder die Bubble genau das herauskristallisiert, und wenn man dann mal mit jemand spricht, der/die in’s andere Lager geschoben wurde, dann fühlt man sich, als wäre die andere Person komplett realitätsfern oder uninformiert, weil sie eine andere Realität präsentiert bekommt…

    Nah, FOSS stands for “free and open-source software”. There was a time before paid software was a thing, so the “free” there stands for freedom.

    In a lot of ways, it means the same as open-source (access to source code and allowed to modify+redistribute it), but it’s more idealistic and political, looking to prevent software from restricting what users can do.






  • This is a bit of me-thing, but yeah, I’m annoyed that YouTube is the way it is. It’s non-trivial to embed videos from there without violating the GDPR, so embedded videos are basically not a thing these days on general-purpose social media.

    And personally, I also want to avoid the tracking from clicking through to a YouTube video and Google encourages long-ass videos, so I always hesitate before clicking through. Also, people without ad blockers go through a completely different circle of hell before a video starts.

    Basically, I miss the days when memes could just be short videos. Where everyone could see on the embed that, oh, it’s a 30 second video, I can watch that. And then they’d just click play, without leaving the page.

    I do understand that likely no one would care to provide the bandwidth for dumb meme videos on PeerTube either. But yeah, I just dream of that being a thing.





  • I mean, so far, all of them require tons of humanly produced data.

    Discriminative AI (deep learning et al) requires humans to label data for hours on end, per use-case.
    And generative AI (LLMs et al) require just insane amounts of human works to copy from, albeit not necessarily limited to individual use-cases.

    I guess, what I’m saying is that the ratio of how much labor humans (involuntarily) invested into AIs, compared to the labor these AIs actually perform, is likely a lot higher than 70%.


  • It’s a thing here in Europe. I’m guessing, because our walls are generally concrete, we usually either throw on decorative plaster or a wallpaper, to make it feel a bit warmer and have a uniform surface which accepts paint more readily.

    It’s even quite common that if you rent an appartment, that the walls have wallpaper on them, which is painted with a fresh coat of white paint every time someone moves out and the next folks move in.
    And then some people, after they move in, will just paint (some of) the walls in a different color, if they feel like not living in pure white…
