Yeah, I’ve seen it from a few different videos, including one citing a 2005 Citibank report pointing out that this would become a major trend.

Wealth inequality is bad enough that I’ve even seen some marketing professionals mention it as a possible problem for some companies.

It seems like the commenter has been a thorn in your side.

Wikipedia has an imperfect process, but it is open to review and you can see how the sausage is made. It isn’t perfect, but the best we have.

Probably.

1. One of the two major employers of programmers, tech companies, have significantly curtailed future development of their products as the cost/benefit ratio isn’t worth it. That isn’t projected to change in the near future.

2. Companies that have full WFH are no longer constrained by office location in hunting for talent. A Bay Area programmer now has to compete with someone in Tulsa or Mexico City, which have far lower costs of living.

3. AI slop will probably get good enough to do basic tasks. So, companies who only need a little programming talent may be able to get by on shitty AI code instead of hiring a second or third developer.

The powermods arent bringing anything unique moderation except a network that allows them to control content for a specific audience.

It depends who. There are some that build tools and procedures for handling large forums. They may also share best practices across different subs.

As for controlling content, it isn’t like a corporation or political group can’t create 20 accounts and take over subs. That’s already happened on Reddit.

Its overall a good thing but the powermods will be replaced with reddit admins doing the ame

Or sock puppet accounts. Banning the current set of mods without a plan on who replaces them doesn’t fix the problem.

The problem with powermod isn’t that they exist, though. Moderation of a large sub is still done by volunteers that have had to hack solutions together because they don’t get a lot of support from Reddit. It helps Reddit to have experienced mods overseeing several subs because they bring with them experience on how to handle high profile and large scale moderation efforts. They are a technical talent pool that Reddit relies upon a lot.

The problem is that Reddit has shitty mod governance. It still uses rank by add date and offers no ability for users to kick a mod out except for TOS faults. Reddit doesn’t want to fix mod governance issues because it creates a legitimate mod power structure and Reddit doesn’t want to give that much power to users, including mods.

That said, Reddit’s shitty mod governance was copied directly to Lemmy.

Android could be profitable if Google Play Services went with it. However, that doesn’t exactly fix the monopoly problems associated with Android.

I hate to say it, but unless Chrome becomes an open source project, I’d rather that it be owned by Google. No other company that could make money on a browser should own Chrome.

Of course they had it good. Studios didn’t understand streaming and so sold long term rights to Netflix for pennies. Now, everyone is cutting out cable, making it impossible for those studios to fund new production on cable and broadcast alone.

New production is going to hit a cliff as streaming isn’t going to be able to fund golden era of television any more.

It turns out people don’t want to pay cable prices for streaming.

They’ll just move the office to Austin.

We have millenia of experience of people being idiots by being horny. This is just the first time we’ve seen a mass deployment of personalized horny generators.

Are you ok?

Some of the arguments for mutual tracking relate to safety, not cheating.

Because it isn’t controlled by Russia.

I didn’t say AI, I said LLM.

A combination of personal vetting via analyzing output and the vetting of others. For instance, the Pentium calculation error was in the news. Otherwise, calculation by computer processor is understood and the technology is acceptable to be used for cases involving human lives.

In contrast, there are several documented cases where LLM’s have been incorrect in the news to a point where I don’t need personal vetting. No one is anywhere close to stating that LLM’s can be used in cases involving human lives.

Yeah, I figure this isn’t going to be an American only problem.

How are other countries different?
