Rant

A place where you can rant to your heart's content.

Rules :
  1. Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
  2. Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
  3. Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Right when Fable is available again, and I can finally start writing my book.

I was unaware that hatred of plagiarism engines was an indicator of political ideology.

I mean, Lemmy is definitely both far left and anti-LLM on average, so that's one sample point.

IRL few people hate LLMs that much, and mean around the political centre by definition, so that's another one.

Hmm, I wonder if there's an actual general population poll?

Edit: And it's definitely a Luddite thing, pretty much by definition.

Why do AI bros have such a rapist attitude?

Your AI code is so great? Fine. If you're that great at programming now, create AI-specific coding sites and repositories. Why would you want the repositories of human-made code slowing you down?

I bet if you could somehow actually assess it accurately, you would find that the rate of sexual predators among the AI bros is vastly greater than among the regular male population. Both have a problem understanding consent.

Kind of a weird thing to say, bro. Free country, though.

Just Codeberg not free to to do what they like? Sounds a bit like the free country is rules for thee, not for me?

[–] wesker 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I ranted in a rant community. Disagreements happen, free country bro.

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Heheh. I guess rants are just way more funny once someone has the moral high grounds or something like that. Just complaining about other people's agency while maxxing out one's main character syndrome is a bit lame... In my opinion at least. Good luck with the book, though! 👍

Thank you, I've completed 159 pages so far, but I can't figure out how to reliably reduce the number of em dashes.

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Lmao. Sure. I'm the wrong person to ask anyway. But there has to be a way. Some internet bots seem do be able to avoid em-dashes. And the weird idiosyncracies ChatGPT is known for... I thought Anthropic's product was better than that? But yeah. I kinda hate AI at times. But I also tried storywriting. It's an entire ordeal to get it cleaned up. And back when I tried it, it also did way too many sudden plot twists, introduced random new characters... I suppose models got a bit more clever, though... And I don't really know what you're writing... Whether that's fiction or non-fiction.

There was no pressure. It was simply voted on by Codeberg's active users. You are free to choose another server with users that match your ideas or run your own server.

You knew people would downvote this to hell, right?

[–] wesker 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Downvotes on Lemmy do virtually nothing, as demonstrated by how much traffic this post is still getting. They're basically a placebo that allows people to feel as if they've engaged and made their opinion known, without having to actually engage. I'd posit in many cases downvotes are just as much a measure of success of the reach and reception of a post as upvotes.

[–] CanadaPlus 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it doesn't actually matter. It kind of fills the same role as a weird look or awkward silence would in real life.

Which is good, on the old forums you'd see someone post something insane (like actually trolling or insane, not just unpopular or against the jerk, like this one), and since there was no cue it hadn't been taken seriously, the whole thread would derail into arguments about it.

[–] wesker 1 points 5 days ago

Admittedly, I enjoy that format. I think it requires more investment in the community, by both users and moderation staff. Said as someone who used to administrate a forums.

funhole is leaking

No, only projects that are primarily vibe coded.

I don't get it, what does this have to do with His Majesty's Loyal Opposition?
