  • .ml is absolutely abusing the federation system though. They’ve been caught red handed modifying mod logs several times, and there’s evidence that they run a modified version of Lemmy which gives them additional levers of control.

    .ml should be treated like the malicious state actors they very obviously are. It’s crazy to me that otherwise paranoid techies who are afraid that Google is recording their very boring lives, just doesn’t seem to care about actual, very plausible threats from actual, very plausible state actors.

    This is pretty rich coming from a guy who unironically defends Stalin and Mao for “doing what needed to be done.”

    Edit - I mean there you have it. If I explain the meme I’ll get banned but I think any reasonable person can appreciate the whiplash.


  • Kind of, it’s kind of like using a calculator instead of doing arithmetic by hand when doing load and strain calculations. It’s a tool which cuts down on the tedious (and error prone) parts of engineering but doesn’t replace the expertise. I use it frequently to write code snippets for things I don’t know the exact sytax for but could easily look up. It just saves time.

    Like, we have a guy whose entire job is to understand the ins and outs of a particular bit of modeling software. In the future that will likely be a person who runs the AI which understands the ins and outs of the modeling software. And eventually the AI will replace that software entirely.
