All we need to do to turn any LLM in to an AGI is figure out what system of tags is Turing-complete. If enough of us monkeys experiment with s and s and s, we'll have AGI by mornin…

> At some level we're tacitly acknowledging that the vast ocean of content and complexity we've created is beyond what is desirable or even healthy to effectively evaluate. I don't…

The existence of meatspace never stopped the early web from flourishing, so why should the existence of the modern web stop anybody from making a second web? The only reason that G…

>I would go further and say that it is impossible. Human interests are contextual and change over time, sometimes in the span of minutes. Theres a general problem in the tech world…

15 years ago, I used to keep many tabs of youtube videos open just because the "related" section was full of interesting videos. Then each of those videos had interesting relations…

Consolidation on narrow themes is ensured by our reliance on query->answer search engines. If you think about the shape of the web at the time Google introduced PageRank, It was a …

Don't forget that development tools are also comically slow and bloated.

For the same reason you need a stack or a queue for depth/breadth first search. Open tabs represent yet to be completed work. It took work in the first place to open those tabs. If…

> It seems like the root cause of this runaway AI pathology has to do mainly with the over-anthropomorphization of AI. I don't know where you get this idea. Fire is dangerous, and …

Content negotiation is "friendlier to humans" in the sense that you can serve the right content to different clients using the same URL, transparent to the user. If the URL itself …

It's funny you say that, because that's more or less how non-tech people seem to think about programming. It's not naturally intuitive to them that renaming files, rocket trajector…

I think this is essentially a false dichotomy. It's possible to experience the loss of both of those eras, as well as the current one whenever it passes. There's no inherent confli…

That's not a contradiction, is it? Selective engagement and non-engagement are different things. It's reasonable for some individuals to be generally less sociable than others. Tha…

This is such a huge downside with subscription services in general. The product itself can change right under your nose and there's nothing you can do about it but cancel. First I …

But there's nothing meaningful in the video. He just keeps reiterating how he thinks you should feel about the situation. He clearly doesn't think it's worth his time to understand…

The smart thing to do isn't to remove it; They should charge for adversarial features. Pay your fee, you get not only an attention boost, but the ability to un-boost blues. If the …

Why does starting with ones' compliment make things easier? IMV, it makes it more confusing, because two's compliment seems like an arbitrary leap that happens to work. If you're t…

Two questions: 1. Whose role is it to make judgements about whether people should be able to find certain kinds of content? 2. Do you think modern recommendation systems are better…

The negatives being what? Technical? Social? Having a traversable landscape of content is incredibly valuable. I think "search results as search criteria"/"traversal by adjacency" …

lemmy.world, for whatever reason, absolutely guzzles CPU cycles. I can't imagine what it could possibly need to do that requires executing that much javascript. It's all minimized,…

I can't wait for them to bring back the old related videos list. When is the last time you've heard someone use the term "youtube rabbit hole"? The effect is so lost, people who ne…

If you used nothing but nails to build various styles of beds, you wouldn't have the same experience sleeping on them as the originals; Unless, of course, the original was a bed of…

I feel like this is Conway's Law at play. People would create high quality paid apps if the users that want to pay for them could find them, but if somebody makes something that's …
