  • I would personally prefer to not have AI Generated photo realistic content that can easily be mistaken for real photo in this community.

    At the same time its very nature makes it really hard to moderate and control, and can easily spiral into witch hunts or limiting the content from only an handful of trusted sources, which would kill the already limited contributions outside of the ones from the wonderful anon.

    The only solution I can think of is adding a vague rule, as someone already posted, asking to avoid it and be lenient on the casual trasgressors, asking, educating and warning first. Not straight out banning or demeaning.

    At the same time I feel there should be low tolerance towards the amount of vulgar, harsh and honestly disheartening comments that tend to flood discussions even vaguely related to AI on lemmy. There’s a really vocal group of people that floods any thread that could potentially be AI or about AI.

    I get the reaction, but I think it has no place here: this has always been a wholesome, kind, community.

    About artsy AI (drawings, comics, fake paintings, digital pieces etc) I don’t really have a strong opinion, mostly because I don’t follow this community for the art but mostly for the photos of real owls: I just think it should at least be properly tagged.

    As discussed on the attached patch, it doesn't sound like unified push is a direction we want to go in at the moment.
    So i'm going to close the bug, but do appreciate the interesting exploration and discussion it has generated.
    Thank you to everyone who contributed thoughts, time and code to this issue!

    hello - thank you for looking into this and submitting this patch stack!
    I have asked around a few people internally but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for the idea of moving to Unified Push.
    So I think it would be best to abandon the stack rather than spend more time working on this implementation.
    Sorry to have to say that and sorry it's taken so long to get back to you with this message!
    We appreciate your time and effort here and hope that you will still consider contributing to firefox in the future.

  • 125g per person if you only eat that, 80 to 100 if you eat something else too

    Good brands you can usually find outside of italy with not outrageous prices are Rummo and Garofalo, less good but still okay, and at a generally lower price, you can usually find Voiello or De Cecco

    Barilla is the most common, but outside of their spaghetti I’m not a big fan

    There are a bunch of others, but these tend to be easier to find

    That’s all, thank you for coming to my TED talk




  • Giorgia Meloni is trying to position herself as a mediator between America and Europe, which honestly I think is a fool’s errand, but it is in line with her Atlanticist foreign policy.
    I would have personally preferred a real, firm, statement towards Ukraine’s support but until we’ll have people like Salvini - a Putin’s lover - and his ‘Lega Nord’ party in the government it is infeasible to expect it.

    At the same time FdI (Meloni’s party) has historically been pretty pro-ukraine, so I will be very surprised if something is not going to happen in the next few days.

    Remember that this quote is from Crosetto, the current Minister of Defence, just a few days ago: “Peace, however, must not mean humiliating a free people who have done nothing but die and sacrifice to defend themselves.”

    I’m not in line with their national policies - by a wide margin - but currently Meloni’s party and the Partito Democratico are the only pro-ukraine voices in Italian politics with some weight

    It’s depressing.




  • This was all theatre where nothing in reality changed, to show how tough and intransigent this admin wants to be: the real problem is that if formally and informally allied nations start to think that the USA would really commit to bullying as a real negotiation tactic, they will start to divest from it and expand their pool of partners to make these tactics less impactful.

    This could be disastrous in the long run, with decades of integration and diplomacy going in smoke. But in the short term there will be a lot of “winning”, as they keep saying. I guess.

    The first Trump term was seen as a short term derailing. The second one has a complete different international impact.

    Goodwill is a real diplomatic form of currency and it is getting burned at a real fast pace.


  • That’s the bad thing about social media. If no one was doing it before, someone is now!

    Jokes aside it’s possible, but with the current LLMs I don’t think there’s really a need for something like that.

    Malicious actors usually try to spend the least amount of effort possibile for generalized attacks, because you end up having to often restart when found out.

    So they probably just feed an LLM with some examples to get the tone right and prompt it in a way that suits their uses.

    You can generate thousands of posts while Lemmy hasn’t even started to reply to one.

    If you instead want to know if anyone is taking all the comments on lemmy to feed to some model training… Yeah, of course they are. Federation makes it incredibly easy to do.
