Personal anecdotal evidence from everyday news.

For those of us that can spot the URL for "Never Gonna Give You Up" at a glance, we are getting rickrolled without ever clicking the link. in c/showerthoughts

My ex once got rickrolled in a public bus. I said the song is cool and kept it playing on speakerphone. The whole bus genuinely enjoyed it (people singing along), nobody complained :)

Btw is this antivax thing mostly American and Pakistani? I don't recall seeing news about this from other countries.

I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? in c/nostupidquestions

I'm like an atheist monk.

you might be having SzPD. I'm not saying that but you might think about it.

I don't want to travel because it costs money.

I don't spend much money on clothing or media and save most of my paycheck.

then why don't you use some of those to travel? There are ways to travel less expensively. I had a phase like this when I was a college kid and I saved up the small scholarship (much less than an actual job) and travelled, which did something that depression meds couldn't do then. ymmv though.

If nothing happens after we die, what's the point of it all? in c/[email protected]

A lot of things happen after you die. And if you participate actively (both positively and negatively) then some of that have your contribution and thus you leave a legacy.

The show was a good entertainment with some amount of exposition to historic artifacts and construction and cultural remains still present..

Also the host's hair was nice.

Some vaccines need to be 100% reliable like the tetanus one. The bacteria live in soil everywhere. Herd immunity isn't going to do a thing there.

Is this a better solution for ad supported creators dilemma? (self.asklemmy)
 

I do agree it is not a dilemma to everyone. Still many believe that blocking ads harms creators supported by them. It is true for google adsense based platforms like youtube (youtube premium requires account, hence privacy implication).

Instead any content anyone watches can be rewatched with ads enabled.

In case a platform trust not logged in views less (as it might be on youtube, I am not sure) the privacy risk can be mitigated by having a -big enough) network of logged in account to 'view' the contents ad enabled.

What do you think?

What's your thought on AI generated content? (self.asklemmy)

First and foremost, this is not about AI/ML research, only about usage in generating content that you would potentially consume.

I personally won't mind automated content if/when that reach current human generated content quality. Some of them probably even achievable not in very distant future, such as narrating audiobook (though it is nowhere near human quality right now). Or partially automating music/graphics (using gen AI) which we kind of accepted now. We don't complain about low effort minimal or AI generated thumbnail or stock photo, we usually do not care about artistic value of these either. But I'm highly skeptical that something of creative or insightful nature could be produced anytime soon and we have already developed good filter of slops in our brain just by dwelling on the 'net.

So what do you guys think?

Edit: Originally I made this question thinking only about quality aspect, but many responses do consider the ethical side as well. Cool :).

We had the derivative work model of many to one intellectual works (such as a DJ playing a collection of musics by other artists) that had a practical credit and compensation mechanism. With gen AI trained on unethically (and often illegally) sourced data we don't know what produce what and there's no practical way to credit or compensate the original authors.

So maybe reframe the question by saying if it is used non commercially or via some fair use mechanism, would you still reject content regardless of quality because it is AI generated? Or where is the boundary for that?
