thanks and holy shit thats a lot of revenue

Not the point. Not what I was saying at all.

The point is AP is a platform for anyone to build their app on. If someone wants to build an app they can build it with their own UI/algo/whatever feature and monetization model they want. They don’t need to go to AT for that. As long as their ads(or however they choose to monetize) isnt federating to other instances then no other fediverse users would care.

removing the cost of R&D I would assume its profitable right? Once the model is trained running it takes significantly less computing. OpenAI has a fuck ton of customers so I would assume they are making back the cost of running their model API.

Thats fine no one is saying you should watch ads. The discussion is that VC people need to build a brand new app on the AT protocol because there is no money in the fediverse. But everything they want to build on AT can be done on Activity pub. As long as they arent federating the ads then no one outside their instance should care.

Tiktok is worse because Facebook and Twitter cooperate with governments to remove misinformation. As well as allow governments to review their algorithm.

Misinformation is going to exist. What’s bad is when a platform is pushing it intentionally and your government has no power to remove it.

Even small countries like New Zealand were able to work with Facebook to get content removed.

You could argue that Twitter and Facebook are now doing exactly what tiktok is accused of doing but the difference is that the next American president supports them promoting this misinformation.

A paid instance with high quality UI/ux and stability would actually be good. They can display ads to their hearts content. It just requires them to take the risk and develop it. There is already a solid base to start.

No, the way the hearing went the judges said this case sets low precedent and it’s not banned it’s forced to divest.

Tiktok can remain with the exact same algorithm, same content it just can’t be owned by ByteDance and closed source. The court said opening sourcing the algorithm and platform was also an option.

They can’t intervene. It was decided in court. Trump might intervene because he doesn’t care about following the law.

This so cracked. The gradient bit was so good.

Yeah the report I mentioned found long work hours, health and safety, abusive management to be an issue. Foxcon seems to have addressed a lot of the issues brought up in that report. Even if they didn’t its still not slavery or not anything remotely similar.

The front page of Reddit was the same 10 usernames for majority of the sites existence. I wouldnt be surprised if it was still the same users just using multiple accounts because so many people blocked their mains.

Its wild to me how active lemmy feels compared to mastodon. I told my normie friends about it when I found out about it during the migration and they insisted that it would die and recently I was able to update them and say its still going strong and its got its own unique vibe that feels different from reddit.

I personally don’t see the value add of e2e encryption to public posts in a federated social media.

DMS are the only place I could see it being beneficial.

Lol what details could hamas have possibly backed out of? The ceasefire is so barebones

I would also like to see people punished for their warcrimes but considering most of the Hamas leadership is dead and Israel considers international law to be a suggestion I think there is some chance of that.

I dont think casualties rates are relevant when considering a prisoner exchange rate.

I’m mad here at this ceasefire because it’s an artificial end to the fighting. Its peace for the sake of peace and does not resolve any points of conflict. With no security arrangements and no sovereignty agreements the war has achieved nothing and both sides are taking 5 steps back. With no satisfactory off road provided for the Palestinian people there is no option to for them to develop and thus they will continue to repeat the cycle.

I followed the different negotiations and there were times where both sides has reasonable proposals with 1 unagreeable part that neither side would budge off and the deal fell apart. If they had just come to an agreement on that 1 part they both could walk away with progress but instead we get this ceasefire where both walk away with nothing.

I hate the ccp as much as the next guy but these workers are being paid and given benefits. Its not slavery. It doesn’t help to make false statements like this. If you want to attack foxcon there is plenty of actual points.

For example you could bring up the fair labor report that happened after this controversy and examined 3 foxcon factories in China and found that while workers starting wage was above minimum wage and most of the workers were far above minimum wage majority of the employees still said their salaries were not satisfactory to cover their needs.

Also foxcon addressed the concerns of that report after the investigation was concluded. Including improving health and safety, worker pay, hours worked and benefits.

Its far from slavery but its not denmark working conditions. However if I was Chinese I wouldnt say its a bad job. Lots of hours and decent wage + option of living on premises is good. The suicides definitely are not related to working conditions or we would see at least 5x more per year.

What are the wages they are paid? I would be surprised if the assembly line workers were getting a lower than average wage for the country the factory resided in.

Why does it have to be another october 7th? It could be as simple as Hamas or another group launching a rocket into Isreal.

This ceasefire is way to generous to Hamas. Its far more than they deserve. Hamas get a ceasefire with no concessions on their end and a prisoner swap of 30-50 per 1 Israeli. The mediators say it’s likely to go through but id be very surprised if isreal accepts it.

With no security arrangements I wouldn’t be surprised if war breaks out again in less than a year.

The more I see him talk the stupider I think he is. He has all these accolades but ive yet to see him say anything intelligent on any of the topics he speaks about.
