This lines up with my completely unscientific observation that the people who have started relying heavily on AI are dumbasses.

Indeed, how did they fuck that up so badly? I feel like you have to be trying these days to embed a map and address picker and not have it support global addresses.

What about lasers?

Honestly, the only way I see is by staying under the radar. Right now Lemmy feels like early-days Reddit - most people haven’t heard of it, and the content is skewed heavily towards privacy-focused tech nerds. As soon as it becomes mainstream and everyone has a Lemmy account, that’s when the corporate trolling and bots arrive.

The one good thing about Lemmy is its distributed nature. Like we used to have private or invite-only forums back in the day, perhaps some servers could implement this kind of approach and only federate carefully with other servers. Would require a lot of coordination. But there’s definitely more hope here than on a commercial and centralised platform!

I really hate late stage capitalism for this. Any useful invention is quickly captured and enshittified for profit. If this came out 20-30 years ago I doubt anyone would have reservations.

Neither did Sony, lol.
