I’ve never EVER encountered a predictive system that is more of a help than a hindrance

We hit that point in spinning disk drives a while ago for me

Aside from “ai” it was just as possible 5 years ago. There have been algorithmic random music generators around for at least a decade, and click bots have been around since at least the 90s

This isn’t a revocation of a perpetual license. This is about broadcom not offering their support services any more. ATT still has the perpetual license to use the software they bought

True, but the important thing is that the CEOs made an unimaginable amount of money /s

I feel like this is the first technology news in a looooonnng time that’s actually cool instead of horrible

I looked it up and you’re 100% right. Incendiary weapons are allowed as long as it doesn’t hit civilians or start a forest fire

Mastodon isn’t a straight replacement for twitter, bluesky is.

I mean, if there’s still gonna be command line commands for all the features then there’s no reason why a 3rd party couldn’t make a gui app for them and recreate the control panels app

fedia.io , its an mbin which is a branch from kbin

1. My argument is you can’t tell the demographic identity of ANY person who posts on lemmy. Even when they supposedly self-identify.

2. Again, what you’re saying here is radically different than what OP is saying in the 4 points they posted. There was nothing limiting it to “on discussions about being black”.

Again, total nonsense. I’ll repeat exactly what i said in one of the comments you deleted, and YOU can tell me why it’s wrong. On lemmy there’s no way to know what race/gender/sexuality a person is. So, you tell me, how is any of this stuff applicable here? If OP was just talking about mastodon, then their title is completely wrong, because their title is specifically saying how to change the fediverse, not how to change mastodon.

Absolute nonsense. Many of the comments you removed weren’t saying anything wrong. They were discussing why the OPs draft is unworkable and would have the opposite of the effect they intend.

I think existing fraud laws would just cover cases where someone tries to sell the fake as if its the real thing.

For instance let’s say i made an AI replica of Arnold Schwarzenegger and put it in a movie. If i said “come see my movie with Schwarzenegger in it” then that would be fraud, but if i said “come see my movie with a replica of Schwarzenegger in it” then that wouldn’t be fraud.

Or at least that’s what i think is correct, but IANAL

No, this legislation is specifically about creating fake replicas. An actual recording of you in a space where you have no expectation of privacy is legal.

But with that said, you already can request meta/Google/etc remove photos of you. Though i have no idea if they actually take action on those requests.

That wouldn’t be better for the company. They probably don’t make money on selling the hardware.
