Show the cable, don’t show the cable; no matter the outcome people are out for blood when Apple is involved.

I think the multi-Reddit approach as the default would work best. Users subscribe to a “central” Group or Topic and immediately pull content from every federated community that self-designates as such.

One problem with this is if the community changes their mind and turns into something else. Either they check a box and designate under another Group or Topic, or get unsubscribed by users manually.

Grouping them wouldn’t mean merging them. For a lack of better terms a Group (multi-Reddit) would allow each indexed community to retain its independence.

But I do see your point about bad mods. Leaving a rotten community in the index has the potential of making the group look bad. However, that’s where the beauty of federation comes into play where users can unsubscribe from those undesirable communities from the larger group.

Good morning chatGPT, please tell me what to think because I am incapable of forming an opinion.

Only managed to identify 3/10 faces correctly.

That’s wild. Some of them are really good, but I see what you mean once you keep refreshing the page. Glasses are a good tell once you look closely. Earlobes also appear to be difficult to perfect as well.

I went back to the NYT article and tried again with my goldfish memory using that deduction and got 6/10.

It’s perfectly ok to admit you got 0/10. No judgement here!

The deepfake Swift urged viewers to click a button and answer a few questions before the end of the day. The ad then sent people to websites mimicking outlets such as the Food Network, highlighting news coverage of Le Creuset alongside testimonials from fake customers, the New York Times reported.

Participants were asked to pay a “small shipping fee of $9.96” for the cookware […]

Honestly, it’s impressive that the scam worked given the number of hoops people had to jump through. I suppose at a certain point you’re so committed that the red flags on the screen look like hearts.

The real issue here isn’t the AI-generated listings. The “reviews” being so obviously fake is what I hope gains more traction.

I’m surprised I could only find one in the wild. Even the reviews are blatantly generated.

I’m not concerned so much about comedians being impersonated than I am about politicians making guest appearances in political ads suddenly saying/supporting untrue things.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the calls were coming from inside. What’s Twitter’s Grok chatbot used for these days?

There’s got to be another way to describe this than as a “recall”. New buyers seeing the term “recall” could shake their confidence in the EV industry as a whole and needlessly perpetuate the sale of ICE vehicles.

My bad, I forgot to specify that I’d like to create a Mastodon instance, not Lemmy. Though it’s good to hear that people are having success.

Percentage of instances is meaningless without knowing their representative size in the overall context of the fediverse.
