this lead me to discover that there’s a Reddit-like client for Bluesky. That’s genuinely a great feature that they are open enough for that

it lacks some of the few good features that discord actually has like seeing who’s in a voice chat before popping in and soundboards in voice chat.

from what I remember they use Jitsi calls. I love that Jitsi exists as an alternative to Zoom but compared to Discord it is indeed a subpar experience. when calling with friends over VPN it is an unusable option due to the lag. this might admittedly be due to us using a free instance I found over a commercial option like Discord has

because it’s not a discord alternative

didn’t know JK Rowling is into Lemmy now

great, now enjoy that 10 times worse when genAI is used to make skeleton crews an even bigger issue and increase worker exploitation

it’s called having a conscience, you might wanna try it

except genAI has proven no purpose. this is like saying “look at how many jobs bankers replaced! we just used to eat for free, now we have to work our entire lives for it or starve!”

LLM can be used for unclogging a shit pipe if you wish. doesn’t mean it’s gonna be a good idea

we’re talking about genAI here not AI in general. let’s not kid ourselves…

except calculators function as a disability aid if you have discalculia and actually foster your math skills instead of hallucinating a wrong result for your input

you could argue machine learning like Google translate is useful. it’s still evil though because Google.

generative ai though? absolutely not, we need to burn it down.

it doesn’t matter whether abolition is realistic or not. the same thing could be said in 1980 about owning a supercomputer that fits in your pocket

thanks for the rec

this is simply the liberal “if you don’t vote then you deserved it” rhetoric repackaged. we’re not interested since our goal isn’t to work inside the system as abolitionists

anyone who calls AI a form of life is too far gone to collaborate with
