@nixCraft why do people keep sharing this. Web traffic being automated does NOT mean dead internet bots.
It's just web scrapers and normal automation - do we imply that web shouldn't be automated? Am I supposed to do manual labor at all times and write down page results with pen and paper or smt?
@trevorflowers since college my dream was to work on FOSS but it never materialized as I had to pay bills somehow. If I had UBI it most certainly would have become a reality as I all I needed is some eggs, ramen and a laptop.
I trully believe UBI would be the biggest positive societal shift since the internet. That extra safety net is just so invaluable for human creativity!
Have you noticed that fediverse talk gets absolutely no engagement on Threads despite Threads promising to integrate itself with it in the near future. I refuse to believe an average Joe is not interested in decentralization when average Threads commenter is so bent on politics.
Of course it's impossible to test algo timelines unfortunately so we'll never know.
tbh I still hate working out and I think it's mostly dumb but it's a small price to pay for the benefits it provides. It trully feels like our bodies just need physical engagement as an evolutionary relic and the most viable strategy is to just do the work, at least for now.
Podcasts and audiobooks are a life saver tho! Ologies with Alie Ward is my gym jam every time and it's amazing.
Though generally the best exercise is the one you can stick to so explore around for something you can easily integrate.
Personally the only way I can stick to gym is by forfeiting results and goals and just accepting that it's just a sacrifice to the ancient gods so they allow me to live.
Also ppl undestimate how much calories idle muscles burn so building up also extends your calorie budget :)
@roadriverrail@arstechnica I'm not even putting a tinfoil hat but 99% of all copyright is owned by mega corporations that are literally in lawsuits with generative AI (like gettyimages) and suddenly there's a trend of "protecting the little guys" from copyright theft?
Generative AI is by far the biggest disruption to the copyright industry. Like nothing ever came as close to breaking it as AI is rn. The whole industry is shitty pants and astroturf is full force. You are are falling for it tbh
@aral I find it hilarious how people fall in line for copyright propaganda. Who do you think owns majority of all copyrights in the world? Poor people or mega corporations like gety images and all these ip and patent holders and trolls?
Copyright is not there to protect the little guy. I thought we had that figured out in the 90s, no? What's up with this regression.
@aral I'm with UN on this one. Chatgpt is an amazing tool for developing world especially and I don't think anyone cares that it "steals intellectual property" from some rich people or that is minor bias when you're surrounded by cruel extremes. Fuck that.
@dansup went to check it out and it's just bots spamming propaganda. Couldn't find a single organic post. Do you think fedidb should have a ignore list of "servers" like this?
