YouTube wants me to sign in to prove I'm not a bot and to "protect the community". Yet Google has bots crawling all over for their AI.

    I once went to set some IT stuff up at a large tabloid company’s office.

    Their security was nuts. Gates and badges and goons everywhere.

    Because they’re allowed to invade your privacy and bother you, but you are absolutely not allowed to return the favour.

    Exactly. Intellectual property only applies to corporations. As soon as it’s an individual’s, it’s fair game it seems.

    Meta even got caught illegally downloading books via torrents and using those as training material for A.I.

    You know what would be fair, seeing as that A.I. is trained on the collective knowledge of everyone that has added content to the Internet? All A.I. models trained on public data should be free to use for everyone.

      And every single company that created the models should be fined 100 billion for what they stole.

      Remember, its 250,000, per song you pirate that the gov can nail you for. So 100 billion per company seems fair to me. Maybe it should be more.

      And I bet Meta didn’t even properly seed it while they downloaded…

        Previously, a Meta executive in charge of project management, Michael Clark, had testified that Meta allegedly modified torrenting settings “so that the smallest amount of seeding possible could occur,” […]

    I report dozens of bot accounts on meta every month (actually slowed a bit recently). 80-90% of the time they take no action and leave the account up.

      YouTube comments are insane, any popular channel has several obvious bit posts within minutes. They all use the same words, emojis, and profile pictures. They all have actual porn in their profiles. It would be incredibly easy to stop, but google doesn’t give a shit about their user’s safety.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !showerthoughts@lemmy.world

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
