It would summarize the link. Unfortunately that’s an edge case where the bot doesn’t do what you mean.

I would be happy to, but all current local models are vastly inferior to GPT-3.5. The unfortunate reality is that if you want to create anything high quality, you must use the OpenAI API.

@AutoTLDR the other bot talks too much, please summarize this

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world could you please compare the advantages and disadvantages of having a general-purpose chatbot available in an online forum that can answer any questions, whether relevant to the conversation or not?

Everyone does cringey things sometimes but it takes a great person to admit their mistakes

BTW Satan is a very cool guy, follow him on Twitter: @s8n

And people are seriously considering federating with Threads if it implements ActivityPub. Things have been so crazy recently that I think If Satan existed and started a Lemmy instance, probably there would still be people arguing in good faith for federating with him.

Lol that’s like saying there’s too much porn on /r/gonewild

Yes, their actual argument is excellent, but this remark gives me instant /r/iamverysmart vibes

“Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes.”

Companies like Meta poison everything they touch. They are a deeply evil, psychopathic organization. They are responsible for causing extremely harmful runaway effects in human society that I’m not even sure are possible to fix. The very reason for Lemmy’s recent popularity is that people are fed up with the “if something is free, you aren’t the user, you are the product” situation and its consequences (see Reddit vs. /u/spez).

Their intent to federate is a blatantly obvious attempt at an “embrace, extend, extinguish” strategy - I’m surprised anyone seriously considers federating with them. They need users to solve the “chicken and egg” problem and joining the fediverse would be an easy way for them to populate their service with content. Their motivations are obviously and transparently malicious and self-serving. They don’t care about the goals and values of the fediverse at all, all they see is an easy way to gain initial users and content. At the first moment federation will be more inconvenient than useful to them, after they sucked all the profit they could out of it, they will drop the entire thing like a hot potato, and we will be left in the dust.

I personally like this instance very much, and I’ve been putting hours and hours of work into building the AUAI community since the day I joined. But I wouldn’t hesitate for a second before deleting my account and never looking back if the community here decided to federate with Meta.

EDIT: another explanation of why they want to join the fediverse

LLMs can do a surprisingly good job even if the text extracted from the PDF isn’t in the right reading order.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that figures are explained thoroughly most of the time in the text so there is no need for the model to see them in order to generate a good summary. Human communication is very redundant and we don’t realize it.

If I remember correctly, the properties the API returns are comment_score and post_score.

Lemmy does have karma, it is stored in the DB, and the API returns it. It just isn’t displayed on the UI.

It definitely helps me. It isn’t perfect, but it’s a night and day difference

It only handles HTML currently, but I like your idea, thank you! I’ll look into implementing reading PDFs as well. One problem with scientific articles however is that they are often quite long, and they don’t fit into the model’s context. I would need to do recursive summarization, which would use much more tokens, and could become pretty expensive. (Of course, the same problem occurs if a web page is too long; I just truncate it currently which is a rather barbaric solution.)

I’ve had nightmares less terrifying than this

Here is how it renders:

(AFAIK apps don’t render these correctly, only the website)

Fair enough, I can understand the emphasis on mod autonomy after the recent Reddit events. I really like this instance and appreciate the work you and the other admins do to make this a great place.

First, I’d like to thank @Ategon for their work on these icons and also for running this poll to determine what people who care about the issue want.

It’s no secret that I vastly preferred the “All Unified” option - the coherent visual identity would not only help recognition across different instances, but it would also strengthen the community and the sense of belonging on this instance.

With this in mind, I find myself somewhat puzzled by the this remark in the post:

Community mods though have the final say in what their community icon looks like and can choose not to follow this result if they want

While the question of icons might seem minor (maybe even trivial), allowing this would set a precedent that undermines the effectiveness of such polls in the future. Everyone who cared about the issue had the opportunity to vote for an entire week, and the “All Unified” option won by an overwhelming majority.

If even one mod disregarded this result, it would run counter to the result of the poll, effectively making the end state undesirable for the supporters of any of the options: the icons wouldn’t be “all unified”, the “general unified” option wouldn’t happen either because at least some language-specific communities would also have the unified icon, and obviously, “no unified style” voters would be dissatisfied too.
