They still can’t game it for engagement optimization to that extreme, not like the closed loops of monolithic sites.

This is not half the country splitting up, this is an island.
If the confederacy evacuated to florida, diverged culturally, was defacto independent and minding thier own business other than some stupid ancient political fued that doesn’t matter?
Hell yes they should be independent. I would be utterly ashamed of the US for invading a Florida that did not want to be invade.
OK. Taiwan wants to be independent. It effectively already is.
Done.
LLMs are like improv machines. You give them a prompt, and they steamroll through it, no matter what.
There is literally no going back and changing it. It improvs as it goes
The fediverse doesn’t actively optimize for attention like commercial platforms. No notification spam and random pings on your phone, no sorting and throwing suggestions in your face by some algorithm that’s trying to keep you glued to the screen. It’s like night-and-day, IMO.
Sorting and such is just to try and bubble up interesting stuff.
One major problem it still has is encouraging filter bubbles, which have the secondary effect of sucking people in.
This is hilarious. It’s like the Iranians using (and paying for) Windows OneDrive for disinfo efforts, when they could use literally anything else.
Don’t they actually have competent hackers though? I guess the knowledge intersection between the hacking space and LLM land is less than I thought.
I dunno if I would go that far, but Bibi all but sabotaging Biden does look bad for Biden. Biden must be fuming over the assassination.
Yeah, even if it ends tomorrow (which it will not, not even close) this has totally screwed over Russia.
So they’d become a kind of vassal state?
I could totally see that, especially if something happens to Putin.
My hot take:
Whatever benefits Bibi is usually what happens. As an outsider, it seems like conflict keeps him in office, so something will coincidentally happen to make this fall through… probably.
It’s crazy that Twitter has such an outsized influence on the public, and I think it’s because news outlets amplify it so much.
It doesn’t have that many active users. And news rarely covers other platforms when something makes a lot of noise and reaches many eyeballs.
A very nuclear power at that.
Yeah, well… Bibi doesn’t. Not unless it helps him stay in office.
Musk is a narcissist, so he’s probably thining the UK wouldn’t dare ban Twitter, now that he’s made it so awesome.
There’s apparently another issue that’s depriorotizing “niche” subs in the recommendation algorithm, that some mod claimed was a bug.
It’s pretty obvious, they’re just prioritizing generic engagement for profit.
Mostly wars against indians, and apparently some small ongoing skirmishes involving Mexico: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States
Mexican American War is kinda too far ahead? I’m not sure Americans saw a civil war as “imminent” then.
That’s a good, concise explanation.
What’s amazing is that, in the backdrop of all this, antagonizing Iran is seen as acceptable and a good idea. It’d be like in the US repeatedly tried to invade Europe or a neighbor or something right before the civil war (which they kinda did, I know… but not like that).
Some places on a “budget” like Ao3 just rate limit hard.
I don’t like that solution at all though.
TBH that would ddos lemmy with new users, lol.
