unfortunately it varies from different instances, but there’s quite a few that don’t have voting.

and I can recommend voyager app because you can just turn them off in settings.

the beauty of the fediverse is that you can have requirements for your browsing patterns/instance that you can follow and not everyone has to do that very same thing. you can join a platform that represents your type of content or even make your own.

the headline is scary, but the article is scarier, honestly.

“I learned about the incident from Chakrabarty, a computer-science professor at Stony Brook University. I’d previously written about his efforts to quantify the proliferation of AI in novels self-published on Amazon. After commenting on Tuch’s post, he plugged the whole column into the Pangram AI detector. The program estimated that more than 60 percent of it was AI-generated. I ran the column through four other AI-detection tools: Two of them flagged 30 percent of the work as likely AI-generated, one found no AI, and one suspected AI but offered no percentage.”

i think 30% is almost scarier than the 60 or the potential of a 100% article. that someone would rely on it and disperse it into their own work means more people get used to reading it and it being a part of their every day routine.

unknowingly consuming partial slop sucks.

some AI slop is quite beautiful compared to some terrible non-AI tattoos i’ve seen, honestly.

edit: apparently the downvoters haven’t seen that famous image of the guy who made a cat’s asshole from his bellybutton. 🤷‍♀️

calls for vandalism of personal property. not good.

did he not try stoat? he just put a bunch of question marks there.

I’d have thought if that was the case it’d be left out of the rankings.

I run several communities on discord with hundreds of people in them. I can’t just leave.

I want to leave. but I can’t force people to move to a new app just for one community.

its a complicated issue for those that use it for communities. we are working on trying to move off.

because we’re in an era where iPad kids have grown up and now they’re all on a binge to either use old tech or get rid of it completely (dumb phones, etc)

also I’m not sure why you’ve been downvoted so heavily for just asking a question. I would assume most people listen to music on their phone.

maybe they downvoted you cause they wish they had an iPod nano?

what has happened, indeed. I still use an 8T and I love it heavily, but good lord. apparently you miss a few models and the whole company changes.

you made an offhand joke and got mad at him for continuing the joke?

this seems to just be subbing one obsession for another. if you have to create a bugout bag because you have a scroll addiction, I think that maybe warrants a better look at properly managing your own behavior.

just put the damn thing down and read a book, or paint something. you don’t need to declare war on smart phones. or even eliminate them from your life. just take some responsibility for your device use.

that was such a great read no joke. I love it when people use spite as a motivator.
