Yeah this is the thing. I would have happily paid it before spez revealed himself to be an irredeemable piece of shit. Now, I've no interest in filling his coffers. Policy needs to change and he needs to go, no negotiation, I don't trust him and I don't think he's a good steward for the site.

It's completely unsustainable though. So much new content is being generated by LLMs that other LLMs are training on it. When that happens, you get model collapse. It's already started happening in limited cases, there's an interesting paper on it here with examples. They need a fresh feed of data to learn and train on, and reddit was arguably the world's best source, otherwise it's bots learning from other bots.

I 100% understand Reddit's desire to stop LLM makers from exploiting user data for free, we all should, but they've thrown the baby out with the bathwater and gone full late stage capitalist. On one hand saying that content is the most valuable thing, so restricting access to it, whilst simultaneously making it harder for those who generate and moderate said content for free to do so.

I'm going to remove this post as we migrate to the London feddit.uk community. You'll get a better response if you ask there as it's more active.

If the AMA taught us anything, it's that spez doesn't actually use reddit. Let alone understand it.

Unfortunately, there isn't really a proper iPad version of Apollo. It was on the dev's to-do list but obviously he's never going to get round to it now, which is a real shame. The scaled-up iPhone version you do get on iPad is still probably the best iPad version of reddit though, not that there's a great deal of competition. It's not the best way to experience Apollo though.

Alternatively, Elon just found out how many people are blocking him.

Having played a bit of Zelda recently, micromanaging weapons. Oh, I've got this metal broad sword and I've used it to to stab an unarmored fleshy bad guy and oh it's broken after three stabs.

I get that weapon degradation is a real thing that happens, as they become blunt or potentially fragile, but Zelda BOTW and TOTK take it way too far to the point of it being a real chore. I thought they'd fix it after all the BOTW complaints but TOTK is just as bad.

The best on-boarding experience I've ever had was with a remote company. I think it's more that companies still haven't adapted properly to remote working, or have paid lip service to it. If a company does it well, it can be excellent, I'd argue better than in-person because it's more inclusive.

Yeah same here. I think it might actually be worse than before the update.

I couldn't see any others when I searched earlier (I tried the browse sites and searching - I may just be really bad at it or I guess there are some scaling issues with the recent influx of users, I'm getting a fair few timeouts and things).

I've no real desire to run a community so I'd be happier if there was an existing one. Fair point on the more general communities at this stage, I saw a couple pop up for other UK cities in the trending list so went looking for London and came up blank. It's not something I'm wanting to push at all, so I'll leave it as is and if people use it, that's ok, and if not, that's also ok.

Interesting, it doesn't show up when I search for it, I wonder if it's bene de-federated or something? it would be great if there was another one, I've no real desire to run a community so would be happy to go to an existing one.

I'll start. I've lived in London for five years having moved here for work. I live and work in the Old Street area, so obviously I work in tech.

I'm currently the only mod of this community, having created it within the last hour, but looking for ideas on what it could be. So far as I'm aware, it's the only Lemmy London community.
