About:
This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.
Rules:
- Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
- No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
- Keep posts on topic.
- Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
- No posts linking to reddit posts.
- Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
- Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
- Please be respectful to each other.
- No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.
- (Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don't make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I'm not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.
- No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.
- If the title of the post isn't an original title of the article or paper then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format "Original title: {title here}".
- Please be respectful to each other.

Note:
My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

@[email protected] META: I don't know I'd bother adding the 'date' of the source material unless it's 1+ year ago.
I've seen a few of your posts and they are suffixed with (x days old). I don't think it's needed. Also, a few months in the future they will still say "2 days old" but they will be far older then.
Dunno why I started doing that tbh, I will start doing it for things that are week or older. Thanks for bringing that to my attention because I was doing that without thinking lol.
Edit: and my tag is @[email protected]
What you tagged is my first acc that I abandoned right after creating because I learned about the devs being tankies
Actually, fuck, I'm stupid. I could have just wrrote dates in the title and not how old it is at the date of posting so instead of (x day old article) it would be (article from xx.xx.xxxx). But now that would be longer though and space for the title is already very limited, ugh... If they make max lenght of the title longer then I will start writing full dates and edit all my previous posts, if not then I will stick with I've been doing till now but will write it only if thing is older than 7 days.
If you stick to what you are doing now, you have the same problem that in 6 months, all your posts will list the "wrong" date, as they will have aged. If you MUST add the age of the linked story, I would encourage you to use an absolute date, rather than a relative one, as if you list X days ago they will instantly be wrong the next day.
Personally, what I do, is if the story is older than 1 year, I put the year in parenthesis (2012). If it's from this year, I don't bother. Many sites use the same pattern.
You do realise that the site shows you how old the post is, right?
Sure, but if you post a link to an article today saying
"Cheese is great for you (3 days old)"
well, after 2 days, that headline is no longer accurate.
if you post saying
"Cheese is great for you (2023-06-20)"
that headline is great forever
Ight, I will start changing titles tomorrow if I will have time.
