soiling

yep. it's a stupid powerful build but also surprisingly flexible.

crypto got a bad name for a few reasons, but scams are a big one. the thing is, there's scams in everything. the scams and the NFTs grifts and the flavor-of-the-month coins don't reflect on the fundamental technology or the value of the bigger coins.

I think there are still very valid criticisms of cryptocurrency even at its best. I think we're not ready for it, technologicallly, because we aren't responsible enough with our energy production to base money directly off of it, but it makes sense to me that money could/should ultimately be an account of energy production. (or it shouldn't exist, idk)

in my opinion it's almost as much of a scam to just blanket say all crypto is trash because of scams, as it is to, well, have crypto scams. blockchain can't/shouldn't be everything people hype it up to be, but that doesn't mean it's just garbage technology.

"hallucination" works because everything an LLM outputs is equally true from its perspective. trying to change the word "hallucination" seems to usually lead to the implication that LLMs are lying which is not possible. they don't currently have the capacity to lie because they don't have intent and they don't have a theory of mind.

Thanks :) My partner and I talk about Berlin a lot. It seems like an amazing place. I don't know if we'll be able to leave the US for a few years at least though.

thanks for sharing. I echo a lot of these sentiments. I don't think there's a right answer in a situation like this. we didn't choose to be targets of hatred, we're just dealing with it.

I don't agree. I think it's disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted. it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don't like - if that's not your intent, then what is ?

it may seem that way, but that's not accurate. something had to be done to stem the trolls and lemmy doesn't provide any tools for less severe action.

so it seems... that's most of what comes up on youtube. I'll do a deeper dive, thank you

shit, really? they're doing such good work tbat genuinely aligns with my religious views. do you have links to any of this controversy?

On the topic of forums, I do like them, but I find they can often feel less “casual” than reddit/Lemmy. Different etiquette, I think.

I agree and it's what I like about forums. to someone like me they're more approachable. discord works best for me with friends, but it's awkward with people I don't know well
