> "AI can make mistakes, always check the results" [is] not advice. It's a threatTo be really accurate it ought to read;
This highly inefficient statistical guessing machine - which we're selling as "AI" despite being intelligent in no meaningful sense of the word - outputs mistakes at scale. Occasionally, purely by accident, it also produce something true or useful. Don't use it as anything other than the occasionally amusing waste of resources it is.

You stated: <<What it actually says is "AI is _permitted_ to make mistakes; _you are liable_ for the results, whether you check them or not". Except "you" is generally not even the person building, installing, or even using the AI. It's the person the AI is used on.>>
Way back in the early 2000s, there was a system called "Dragon Dictate". The goal was to eliminate #human #transcriptionists with automated speech-to-text (sound familiar?) The system had to be trained on your voice and vocabulary. Once properly trained it could do a pretty good job, I'll guess 95-98%. It was better suited to output that was stereotyped (mostly the same), and structured (such as radiology reports and operative notes).
Regardless of how the note/report was generated, the professional who spoke the words had a obligation to at least scan the output and sign it (yes, with an ink pen!). Once signed it became part of the "legal medical record" open to misinterpretation, copying, lawsuits, etc. etc.
Once Dragon Dictate became routine (and they fired all the transcriptionists) I started to notice this little #disclaimer at the bottom:
"If portions of this note are confusing or indecipherable please feel free to call me with questions or concerns." Sounds a lot like #AI to me! I polite way to summarize this is:
👉 They were trying to force me to be their copy-editor. 👈
It cast the entire content in doubt.
Consider for a moment the difference between saying "The scan does not show cancer." and "The scan does show cancer." That "not" is doing a lot of work, and is very easy to miss when you're talking fast and never intend to read your own note ever again.
More subtle is the grammatical error in the first sentence. "This note was #dictated using Dragon text to speech recognition software." Either they changed their product name to "Dragon Text", in which case the capitalization is off. Or they transposed words and it should read "speech to text" or "speech recognition" with no text.
👉 In other words, they didn't even proof-read their own disclaimer! 😱

@Jenniferplusplus I sincerely hope that you aren't building Letterbook to only interact with itself and Mastodon.
Sooner or later, Letterbook will encounter content coming in from instances of software created by @Mike Macgirvin ?️, namely Friendica, Hubzilla (these two are actually older than Mastodon), (streams) or Forte. For reference: I am on Hubzilla.
You/it will have to expect and be able to deal with the following:- Enclosed one-post-many-comments conversations instead of threads that consist of posts loosely tied together
- Permissions of all comments/replies firmly defined by the start post; permissions/visibility can't be changed within a running conversation
- "Monster posts" of any length because none of them has a character limit
- Not just Note-type objects, but also Article-type objects (from Friendica right now, the others may implement them once Mastodon introduces sensible support for them)
- Full HTML text formatting, up to and including numbered lists, tables, horizontal lines, character size and character colour
- Both quotes (as done in bulletin-board forums) and quote-posts (posts fully embedded in other posts like quote-tweets)
- Embedded links (this comment makes a whole lot of use of them)
- Inline images embedded within the text, and more than four of these in one post
- Inline audio streams embedded within the text
- Inline videos embedded within the text
- "Weird" mentions and hashtags with the @ or the # not part of the link (look at the mentions and the hashtags in this comment, then look at mentions and hashtags on Mastodon and compare them)
- "Summaries in the CW field" (because Mastodon repurposed StatusNet's summary field, which was used by StatusNet, Friendica and Hubzilla as an actual summary field, for content warnings in 2017; several Fediverse server apps continue to use it for summaries)
- All four support titles in addition to summaries
Some of the above may also come in from elsewhere, e.g. a wider range of text formatting than Mastodon allows itself to render is fully supported by just about everything that isn't Mastodon.
Also, ActivityPub is currently evolving. New FEPs are being put to use and bringing in new features far away from how Mastodon is working. In particular, (streams) and Forte and @silverpill's Mitra use decentralised identifiers as per FEP-ef61 (Portable Objects). Forte has nomadic identity fully implemented via ActivityPub while (streams) at least supports it. And all three have conversation containers implemented, silverpill wants to make them an FEP, and Hubzilla is planning to implement them with version 10.
This means three things. One, weird identifiers. Two, weird actor identities: What looks like one user automatically cross-posting to another account on another instance to non-nomadic ActivityPub implementations is actually the very same actor residing simultaneously on multiple server instances. Three, again, conversations work drastically different from Twitter and Mastodon.
Lastly, it may be a good idea to implement a little server type display from the get-go so that the user knows what kind of Fediverse instance something comes from. Misskey and its forks have it, Friendica has it, (streams) has it, Forte has it. Just because Mastodon doesn't have it, doesn't mean it's a good idea not to have it. Besides, if content from certain server applications malfunctions on Letterbook, users can pinpoint right away what server application causes that trouble when submitting a bug report.

@jenniferplusplus I have the impression that early adopters of the #Fediverse, of which many trans people belong to, fell into the false sense of comfort that there was a stable, uniform #fediculture. But #culture is inherent to #groupdynamics & a 100k group is not the same as a 2M network. While it's paradoxical to seek to enforce a culture across the Fediverse, a network designed to SUPPORT #divergence, I think it's fair to debate whether an #LGBTQ #instance should ban the #BBC or not.

@RedFacedUakari @jenniferplusplus @cairobraga There are definitely a bunch of co-op incubators out there, for example: https://belovedcommunityincubator.org/
I don't know of any neighborhood tech co-ops, but people's interest in switching away from big tech providers is pretty high right now, so I believe there is hope at least for many small tech co-ops to succeed even if they couldn't yet make a living doing tech infrastructure & support for literally just their neighborhood. #cooperatives

Do not #Copyleft licences, like #GPLv3, work by ensuring that **any** software that includes the FOSS code be #FOSS also?What the above describes is #softwareTheft, right?
For example #MastodonDevs by allowing #HellaDoge to not provide source code for years, with a notification of such by us, are allowing software #theft, right?

@mtheriaultsf @jenniferplusplus @josh
While I am certain there are folks wanting to dance on the grave of #SBV, I don't think that's the general attitude in this space. We know #capitalism is broken; it's a feature. This is how trickle-down #economics works; when a bank fails, it's the ones at the bottom who perish.

Purity war like saying " #clanker " is how you get people to go the other way.
Maybe we should start saying "FRACKING TOASTER" instead?
But the holier-than-thou purity shit is how you run people away.
Then again, things are playing out dumber than #NeddLudd 's timeline. At least they understood that owning the machines of production were important, and not "machines bad".

@datarama @aud @jenniferplusplus @blogdiva This is what California has done with our fast food labor board. I’m a #pizzahut #deliverydriver looking forward to a $20/hr labor board negotiated raise in April - provided my company doesn’t lay me off and replace me with Doordash first! 😬

@Mary625 @ned @funcrunch @jenniferplusplus @Dasy2k1 @dragonfrog @not2b
Thanks but no, we would not need to shut down fedi if we blocked plutocrats. That's not a proper representation of the fediverse.The vast majority of instances dont use #CAGEMAFIA (cF,amaz,goog,turdsite-buyer,micro$haft,fApple,fakebook,IBM,Akamai) (nor tencent, oracle or alibaba).
We've seen two orac instances so far, very few amaz/goog/turdsite-buyer, no akam/m$/fb/tc/alib. Maybe 10% are cF'd.

@Mary625 @not2b @ned @funcrunch @jenniferplusplus @Dasy2k1
Some good points made above. We would've erred on the side of retaining BBC to call them out, but…We're not sure the extent to which the following is an issue to folks here, but the BBC is worth calling out and quite promptly blocking for using Amazon, a deeply unethical monopoly, with power over innumerable industries. They are also fascist (ie. meld with govt/military/money creators).
Amazon and all of CAGEMAFIA are #internetCancer.

@jer @chrisg I have just seen @selea recommending #keydb too.

Pretty sure brigading github issues is not in anyone's interest and is not effective in either direction

As an aside, it is the year two thousand twenty-six and we still allow institutionalized torture almost everywhere in the world.
So that's cool
I mean, yes, good, ban it. But jfc how was that not already done?

After having seen youtube commercials for the wizard game about 50 times in the last few days, I noticed that it opens with the #ESRB T for teen logo. And now I have to wonder, why doesn't the ESRB factor in queerphobia or antisemitism?
