habanhero , to technology in AI panic is a marketing strategy

But that’s all marketing, it’s not specific to AI.

Any company that does marketing is looking to create demand and generate interest. Part of generating interest is tapping into your desire , which could include want to get ahead and not getting left behind.

habanhero , to nostupidquestions in What dou you think would happen if Reddit would be acquired by Meta/Zuckerberg ?

In terms of data privacy it would become a nightmare.

However I think Zuck would be a massive improvement over spez in terms of strategy, diplomacy, PR rizz and general chill. And this is not a very high bar.

What the heck is AI Panic?

btw you missed Meta, they are very significant in the field of AI.

habanhero , to showerthoughts in The rat in Ratatouille will probably die within two years from the end of the movie

Why would they be depressed and miserable? They’ve had a fantastical thing happen to them, once in a lifetime, even if it’s for a short little while.

Besides, the rats can just do what humans do when faced with mortality - pass down the torch.

habanhero , to nostupidquestions in Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?

Yep, 100% agree. Reddit’s biggest mistake this time is mishandling PR so bad that they basically gave Lemmy, kBin etc a seat at the table for free. And with the poor management at the helm, it’s going to be a pattern of bad behaviors and Reddit is bound to mess up again.

habanhero , to nostupidquestions in From a legal/evidence perspective, what is going to happen when it will become impossible to tell the difference between a video generated by AI versus the real thing?

That’s one way AI-generated image leaves artifacts and clues. It could even be traces that cannot be seen by human eyes. There will be other signals and it will probably be arms race where forensics will improve, but AI will get even better, so on and so forth. Time will tell.

AI / Deepfake forensics will become a growing field.

habanhero , to nostupidquestions in Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?

For you and for me maybe. For many others, they are still happily scrolling away on the official app.

habanhero , to nostupidquestions in Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?

It’s hard to get an exact number but you can extrapolate based on the growth of Lemmy in the last few weeks. While not record-breaking, it is quite an impressive growth.

Also note that not everyone who left Reddit came to Lemmy. There is also Kbin, Tildes and alternative. Some never really left at all.

I think the real damage done to Reddit (ultimately by themselves) is showing the world that there are real alternatives (even if a bit rough around the edges). They are materializing and growing as threats and if Reddit doesn’t step up their game, they could be in some real trouble.

The other possibility is that some other company might step up and build a Reddit clone, much like what Meta’s Threads is to Twitter, once they see that there is blood in the water and a potential to displace Reddit as the “frontpage of the Internet”. Heck, even Threads is built on the Fediverse, maybe a bigcorp-backed Reddit clone might be as well.

habanhero , to android in Any good alternatives to browsers?

It’s not just for Samsung phones, it works perfectly on my Pixel and Razer Phone as well. The Adblocking is okay but the design + the dark mode for all websites is the killer feature for me.

habanhero , to nostupidquestions in What is the difference between 'Instance' and 'Community'?

Simplified way to look at it:

Instance is like a server, it hosts your account and some communities.

Communities are like “subreddits”. It has to created / operated on one of the instances, but is accessible to all federated instances (which is largely the norm).

An analogy is email. You can choose your email provider (Gmail, Protonmail, Fastmail etc) and you will have an unique email address based on that provider (e.g. [email protected] is different from [email protected]), but you will have the ability to send emails to anyone (unless you are blocked).

habanhero , to android in Any good alternatives to browsers?

IMO Samsung Internet is one of the best Android browsers out there. Give it a try!

habanhero , to nostupidquestions in How it going here? I'm looking forward to helping fuck up Reddit's IPO.

The answer is Voyager.
