They can’t even use the usual enshittification excuses, this is just being greedy dicks.
The usual enshitification excuses are companies just being greedy dicks, and more than anything, a lack of regulation enforcement existing to stop companies simply outspending other companies out of business.
This is ultimately just punching sideways and down though.
These companies will win when your strategy is to simply shit on other people for existing.
You may not think that is what you're doing but it is. How so? Because while you care about this area of life enough to get into the details, for other people, their areas of care are completely different, and it is unreasonable for you to expect everyone to care about precisely what you care about.
As such, punching down and sideways only serves the purpose of making an environment where only the rich and powerful band together, and the poor (us) routinely infight and chop off our own legs rather than realizing that these megacorps hiring leagues of lobbyists, psychologists, marketers, etc know exactly how to push, and know that exactly the person you are bitching at will almost certainly never see your comment, or will consider it hostile and irrelevant so it wont matter either way.
Like every comment like yours that I have ever seen, I would bet money you didn't quite say what you are claiming to say here, didn't say it in a way that would imply the same thing, and didn't get quite the reaction you are saying you got.
People, especially on lemmy are looking for any cope that Ai will just fall apart by itself and no longer bother them by existing, so they'll upvote whatever lets them think that.
The reality that we are just heading towards the trough of disappear wherethe investor hype peters off and then we eventually just have a legitimately useful technology with all the same business hurdles of any other technology (tech bros trying to control other peoples lives to enrich themselves or harm people they don't like)
I am fond of 3d printing/Cad design. It enables so much more than just making artistic things. Basically every physically based hobby can be complimented with it.
I mean you can state that, but most disagree. We're very in as lemmy bubble here.
Manual coding is buggy too. If your non ai assisted code was buggy, so still will be your assisted code. I think the idea that its inherently a bug exponentializer sounds more like cope than grounded reality.
More than that, code focused llms can be much more efficient with the targeted focus and if someone desires, can be based on permissively licensed code.
My understanding from running into confusingly empty logs and seeing people more familiar with it comment, is it has become sort of a thin blue line-esque practice to ban a user and delete their posts in such an order that it would not shopw up in the mod logs, so I find it difficult to believe the logs could really contain anything truly trustworthy.
I almost wonder if there shouldn’t be an extension or corollary of Hanlon’s Razor somewhere to account for AI.
I feel like Hanlon's Razor is a disease more than it is useful to anyone in any situation.
So frequently do normal people refuse to acknowledge that others can simply be malicious, that this rule only serves to aid people in giving the benefit of the doubt to people who act in ways to abuse it.
Politicians, shitty bosses, unscrupulous contractors, etc etc. All of these people hurt others by abusing their presumptions of innocence.
See, the big problem in my opinion, is that they didn't convince people that the cops are great. They convinced people that the cops are mostly abusing the people they want to see abused.....
A big problem in that is the obvious and massive societal issue that so many people voted on, and seem to care about, above all else, whether or not the marginalized people they hate are being hurt.
And people can choose to treat people the same based on that label, and I can choose to think it’s immature.
Sure, but I don't really think you've outlined good reason for feeling so.
Are you dismissing the complaints about ml wholesale? If not, what of the fact that one cannot practically sift at such a fine grain level as looking at every single user?
No, I advocate for not dismissing people solely based on their chosen instance without taking into account their actual views. I do not advocate against blocking ml entirely,
How does the former not inherently functionally include the latter?
Only because you and other people have spent multiple comments not understanding me so I’m only repeating myself.
Is it possible that other people feel a legitimate sense of inconsistency in your comments, hence probing for more information? Or that people understand but disagree with some aspects of what you are saying?
No, I engaged with someone else on ml, and then you couldn’t resist engaging with me.
I think you've very much so misinterpreted my comment here and have taken a hostile tone due to that. My comment is referring to you engaging with the poster of this content.
Your wording as if I would have any reason to need to resist engaging is an odd way to portray me as angry for having any questions about what seem to be an inconsistent set of opinions.
That doesn’t mean I value this engagement or would miss it at all. Let me again repeat that my preference is to ignore these types of posts, which is why I refrained from commenting on the other similar posts OP has made in the past. It’s kind of silly to assume that engagement means you necessarily value the content.
The misunderstanding here, is that you said you aren't missing anything by not being able to engage. This implies that you couldn't or wouldn't engage, but obviously your presence in this thread made that idea infeasible. That's what my confusion was referring to.
It was (still is) unclear to me what you meant by that comment when you haven't referred to any actual way that you've been impacted by this, so it appears you are complaining that you don't care about a hypothetical thing that could but hasn't happened seemingly for no reason at all.
Do you similarly think engaging with a racist by arguing with them means you must also value their content or presence? Of course not.
This is truly getting ridiculous. Outlandish comparison to bring into this.
Chiming in to say that I would not miss them, but also disagree with their views, is not contradictory.
I've never claimed the opposite, and indeed that wasn't the point of that comment.
I think this kind of blanket assumption about people based on their instance is a net negative to the community. That said, I don’t think it’s at all inconsistent to both view OPs attitude as immature while simultaneously not caring if they decide to block ml, precisely because being blocked by immature people is not a net negative to me.
Actually in this very last sentence I think its pretty clear there is some contradiction. You say its a net negative, and this implies it matters any amount at all, or I suppose you could also hold the opinion that you don't care at all about the community but then why bother, and obviously just by way of using it you must to some degree.
It just feels like you are trying to say "I have no dog in this race" to shield your opinion, when you very clearly do, hence debating it and hence the jump to anger present in this comment.
That seems like an incredibly awful design decision, particularly given that post deletions delete tons of content from other people as well.
It would be one thing if there were a separate utility to fight cases of spam (where one might want to automate removing spam posts), but just doing basically that, but by default seems mildly insane to me.
I would certainly strongly disagree with any idea that this help security outside of security theatre. This is after all, a public forum.
Practicality wise, I doubt this is the reason it feels so ephemeral, because I feel like most of the removals I've run into were for relatively recent content, and likely mod removals (you'd never know though....)
It is truly unfortunate so many figures people foolishly look up to are just secretly (or not so secretly any more) comically evil.
