You know something cm0002 just wanted to let you know I appreciate the dichotomy formed between posting these shitpost memes making fun of corporate AI trash one second while simultaneously posting genuinely informative news keeping the localllama community updated the next. It helps keep it real.

I havent used twitter in many years. Do they really let their llms have a twitter account and be taggable like this? I though they would have learned it doesnt worked out so great when microsoft tried it with TayAI years ago.

    Both are just reposts. cm0002 just crossposts everything from ml instances, I guess they doesn't even read them. More info about this on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works and on the stickied posts like this: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279

    I assume they just have far more "guardrails" in place to steer the AI against certain topics and whatnot.

    I've thought about it, but it's too unreliable, too expensive in the amount of money I'd want to spend on this on API credits and similarly for the capacity I have locally I have far more important local AI work to do atm, and even if I didn't still to unreliable lmao

    All my crossposts and posts are artisan human-hands-made

    When I said "they", I was referring to Twitter, not you. My comment was in response to

    Sorry about the reply delay, this instance has been...weird on the federation for comments and voting

    It's caused by my .ml crossposting activities coupled with posting my natural content that I personally enjoy. Like pretty much anything by me in the !retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org comm or the localllama comm

    But I also noticed the unique affect it has, in both what I post and the content I digest lol Which honestly fits my personality than most would guess. I'll do other things to break the norms of everyday life, like sometimes when ordering food I ask the order taker to just give me whatever their fav is lmao

    Unfortunately, I do also have to be careful, there's one user in particular who tends to post some concerning memes (as in depressing) from time to time and have to skip quite a few sometimes otherwise I'll start getting messages from people asking me if I'm ok lol 😅

    Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

    I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
