I play all actually. 1v1 when alone. 2v2 when I can get my buddy. FFA when I want to do it for the memes. I had like 8 hours in FFA last weekend, but got a bit disappointed in it because who tends to win is the one with the meme build sitting on the other side of me that their neighbours never try to counter. Like someone won with 16 hackers in my last game. Cmon.

It is the end result of capitalist exploitation. Liberal democracies cannot stop this process through voting.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Is it OK for a nation state to plant bombs in suspected opponents and then explode them at random without respect for collateral damage? If Russians did the same to Americans, you’d be all “fair play, mate”?

The peeps focusing on finding out scheming prompted an llm to generate scheming. Yawn This is the only surprising if you don’t know that llms are fancy autocompletes.

Well we don’t “pre-open” the communities😅 . The hope is that emulation enthusiasts would naturally realize our instance is the best fit for that sort of thing.

While I agree there’s a responsibility for combating misinfo, you can’t rely on nation states to decide what is misinfo. Authoritarians do and will abuse this to silence criticism of their regimes.

That hijack is one of their worst blunders though as pirates are very romanticized in culture. They just made us look way cooler than the computer nerds we are.

This is already happening even with Aaa games. The initial purchase doesn’t seem to stop them anyway.

And no I don’t worry about it. I think if there’s motivation we’ll figure out the way. People won’t just ship making or playing good games.

Listen, it’s not our job to make Google search result better. They could have easily parsed apub sites like lemmy correctly of they want, but they’re so enshittified there’s low chance of that. But that doesn’t mean we should be trying to fix their shit.

I also asked among the contributors if you should accept any form of money or NLnet funding or anything in that regard. Our common conclusion was: NO. Because we are doing it for fun, asking money will only create a situation were you might even feel more obligated.

In regards to NLNet, you should know how it works. NLNet doesn’t give you money upfront and then expect stuff. You decide on a list of tasks to do and then complete them on our own time and get paid for each you complete. This reduces the pressure, as you can choose to handle these tasks as frequent as you want.

Then again. with NLNet getting defunded by EU, it’s likely most new can’t receive funding anymore.

Recently, a very dedicated contributor did left Mbin sadly without any announcement. This person is still being missed to this day

Man, I know the exact feeling. We had a similar case in our FOSS project of a valuable contributor going suddenly MIA, even blocking us out of pypi in the process. It hurts.

counterpoint: If developers aren’t forced to “eat their own dogfood” it becomes difficult to see some issues and know what to prioritize.

Problem is, you cannot trust it’s not hallucinating these stats

The problem is that you need to check those sources today make sure it’s not just making up bullshit and at that point you didn’t gain anything from the genai

db0 , (edited )
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If you don’t check everyone source. It might be just bullshitting you. There’s people who followed your approach and got into hot shit with their bosses and judges

@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’m not an llm hater. I run one of the biggest Foss genai services. It’s because of that that I know their limitations.

You said that you’re not going to check every search result, which implied you’re not checking every time source either which will lead you to eventually believe some llm bullshit. And of you’re using an llm just to compile sources that you check with yourself it’s no difference than a search engine without llm

db0 ,
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The problem is that even if the sources are real, it’s no guarantee that the LLM even used them

Nah but it’s a discussion that spawned from my reply so I’m invested 😁

Bots are running rampant. How do we stop them from ruining Lemmy?

Social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit are increasingly infested with bots and fake accounts, leading to significant manipulation of public discourse. These bots don’t just annoy users—they skew visibility through vote manipulation. Fake accounts and automated scripts systematically downvote posts opposing certain...

db0 ,
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

For example, a bot on Twitter using an API call to GPT-4o ran out of funding and started posting their prompts and system information publicly.

While there’s obviously botspam out there, this post is clearly a fake as anyone with the programming experience will notice immediately. It’s just engagemeb bait

Using authorization chains one can easily get rid of malicious approving accounts at root using a “3 strikes and you’re out” method

db0 ,
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

You don’t lose your account for approving a bot (well maybe if you approve dozens of them or something extraordinary malicious), you’re just not allowed to approve anymore.

You also don’t get dinged by having approved others who approved bots, unless that too becomes da trend.

Additionally, let’s assume I’m a really dumb bot creator, and I keep all of my bots in the same tree. I don’t bother to maintain a few legitimate accounts, and I don’t bother to have random users approve some of the bots. If my entire tree gets nuked, it’s still only a few weeks until I’m back at full force.

Even A few weeks is a big amount and there’s no guarantee it’s that little time.

If someone keeps approving accounts who end up getting caught generating spam trees, then that account might lose privileged to approve as well.

I’ve read some instructions for workers where it says the best plan is to avoid disclosing your own salary or expectations until much further down the interviews. If they’re willing to hire you already, they’re much more likely to accept your request because doing interviews costs then money.

There’s a reason the system requires a certain percentage of unemployment to keep working. There’s also a reason there’s homeless people and children living in flood security.
