Oh jeez

No. There’s a computerfile video but iirc r/counting was accidentally left in the training data set for part of the training process

Spoiler alert it’s because of r/counting and some weirdness in training data

Neato!

Yes but it’s still up and “coming soon”

Shit fuck shit fuck

I… Jesus.

I’m rooting for ya

Is pixelfed a good option for this sort of stuff?

Do they explain it well?

Ye

Neato

Is anyone surprised?

Ayo

Was gonna suggest this

Well said. I’m personally of the opinion that while meta may only have self serving intentions, they could also actually help the Fediverse grow. Either way, the whole idea of the Fediverse is that anyone can set up an instance. Including meta. This is not a bug, it’s a feature.

They’re selling location data now, oh geez

:)

I’m a technical sense, that is a feature not a bug of federated platforms

I’m not saying they’re doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that Meta has no other microblogging platform. They’re not trying to choke out competition, because there isn’t any competition.

I personally believe that they are trying to tap into the Fediverse and use it as a springboard to grow their own platforms. However it’s worth keeping in mind that as any federated platform grows, other federated platforms grow with it.

Kbin’s growth is good for lemmy. The Fediverse grows with this kind of competition.

While Im not personally a fan of meta. It’s probably in the fedieverse’s best interest to at least be willing to come to the table and consider the possibilities, instead of just immediately fighting this. Remember, we haven’t seen the implementation yet. This is all just speculations.
