Probably won't be great because the port is still USB 2.0, video takes a lot of bandwidth
Ayyy fellow sdm845 phone!
Such a shame you can't plug it into a monitor, it runs games like minecraft so well!
I guess you could make a lemmy community where only you can post and it would act as a kind of blog, but you still can't follow mastodon users. That's actually something I want to do with my own instance and a custom frontend, because it seems perfect for what I want!
Not sure if merging different accounts would really be possible like that, you could do authentication using mastodon accounts similar to how you can log in with google, but there's really no universal way of doing it over activitypub itself unless you want to send confirmation codes over it like we do over email heh.
It's possible to point a custom domain to your existing fedi account with webfinger (you actually only need to make a file in .well-known on a web server), but I don't think it's possible to do it with multiple accounts. It would actually be cool if you could point people to your domain and have different fedi software figure out which one is the most appropriate, or present a list.
Also that custom domain won't show up on the account itself, that's another opportunity to maybe make identify separable from instances, so someone could be less dependent on it sticking around, I think bsky attempts to do something like that, but it also has quite a lot of holes in it and I feel like activitypub is a better foundation overall.
That's what happened with musky husky, but it'd be very in character for spez to change the actual results to his liking lol
I'm very afraid another alternative is being conisidered here, and it's worse than any of these.
It's fascism.
And there's sadly precedent for it, economic crisis leads to political and social instability that can be cleverly exploited by appealing to peoples' emotions and putting them against an imagined enemy in other people, when the real enemy is hovering above us and cheering it on.
Definitely agree, there's just no denying it will take a lot of valuable things down with it and make plenty of noise in the process :/
It's gonna be funny if users vote in favor of the protest and against pro-spez mods.
Maybe he will start editing other people's votes too!
Meh, that's the logical conclusion of capitalism.
I suspect these supposedly good companies will either rise and fall as they run out of VC money, or become another OpenAI or Google at one point, only using their initial investment to kick start their tech.
But also we have to think about getting replaced by automation anyway (large corporations having exclusive access to it only exacerbates it). It's different from previous forms of technology, because it won't really create enough jobs for people.
And while we're at it, if we can get abundance of labour, why not give people a bit more agency over everything than just delegating it to some rich fucks who will turn around the moment they sniff out a way to make extra money and abuse in a multitude of ways to keep their influence?
Yeah, the problem feels worse than Mastodon, and I think it may come down to there being no limit feature. You can't just hide thIngs from the instance without cutting off communities.
Lemmy's mod tools need to improve and have more granular options for dealing with instances, communities and spam (same with mastodon tbh!).
I kinda like what Pixelfed is doing there, they got tired of the spam bots coming from mastodon.social and decided to build their own spam classifier, similar to how it's done with email.
Yeah, pretty much...
tbh training robots on videos wouldn't even be bad copyright wise, there's nothing copyrightable about the way people move and do things, and people mostly want boring manual jobs to be automated (at least if we get rid of capitalism first so we don't fucking starve). But of course Google wants to have an edge on its robots and they can get that by siloing off the data from everyone else...
AI research should be public and the results made as accessible as possible. I hate the intersection of AI and capitalism.
OpenAI definitely owes a lot to Reddit threads, I've even been able to trace a GPT-4 hallucination to a single thread where the things it was talking about appeared, but it seemed to have merge two completely different names together.
It definitely could be a contributing factor, the biggest players are caught in a war among themselves while trying to fend off open models at the same time. That may explain why everyone values their publicly accessible data all of a sudden.
Maybe even the recent stuff with YouTube (invidious and ad blockers) can be explained by this, maybe they want to set the stage for restricting access to videos. Why? Videos have proven to be a good way of training open-ended agents that play Minecraft for example. Google has PALM-E (which is based on an LM and another transformer for performing physical movements) and is working on general-purpose robots. They also said they were training on some kind of model that's built to be multimodal from the very start, which will probably be a successor to that.
I think this video is gone?
But I've seen this video of display link working on a Poco F1, and you can clearly see the difference in smoothness. It's probably fine for some desktop use, but not for gaming.
