Or just make it work at scale.

Lemmy at a million users would look far different than it does now.

I’m not surprised. Spez killed two good methods of generating revenue while maintaining a staff that is probably too large and not creating products that generate revenue.

For YouTube, it isn’t so much destroying good faith rather than preventing a competitor from forming with enough traction to threaten YouTube’s business model.

If there isn’t a written down set of features, it sounds like they want you to get done with as much as you can for less than $100,000.

That’s going to require more coordination in your end, since it means holding their hands while they prioritize what minimum features they can accept.

But you’re dealing with the mechanics on their side causing an issue with approval.

At that point, I’d look to remove scope to get under the 100k threshold.

The funny thing in my field is that real life PhD’s tend to be worse than Masters-level staff because they’ve gone so far into theory that they have problems with practical application.

It didn’t work for will.i.am, it won’t work for them.

It depends on what they’re left owning.

If you have a good AI model, how could you tell?

Not really. They are going to copy and paste the model for their own use.

What’s to stop that from happening to Lemmy?

It has been a running gag with friends when I had to help my mom save a file on a disc, it took over half an hour, and it still failed.

That’s good on them for doing that. It is also good for Mastodon in general since it means they are building the staff that can grow the service.

And I’m expecting it to get worse.

Yeah they are. It just doesn’t correspond to pre-internet political groups.

Nah.

We are already seeing bubbles from where people are getting wildly different news and other discussions. As the echo chambers solidify, you are going to be seeing more where different political groups can’t even discuss the facts of an issue. It is only going to get worse.

That isn’t uncommon for international companies.

Politics sucks more as people curl up in their small echo chambers.

Outside of Gemini, Google has done a decent job at packaging AI features that have a tangible benefit to users. However, they seem to be more purpose built instead of LLM’s.

It was common for kids to have a day without being watched by parents in dense cities a generation ago.
