Yeah, having it on your user page is much less dangerous, imo. Still a possibility of getting called out if you downvote someone you're arguing with, but you're already in the comments there.

The only way I see a problem is if someone writes a bot or extension that reads the user profile into something "per comment", and if that gets enough traction and use to build up a strong database. However, in that case, I'd imagine the Lemmy devs would build a feature to let instance admins hide that information from regular users.

Oooh, good point. As an admin/moderator feature, that's a much better idea.

Hmmm, tbh, I don't think that's a feature I'd want. Every now and again you see "that guy" furious that he's getting downvotes, doubling down and trying to start an argument or something. I don't need that guy showing up in my DMs.

Both of those videos were so good, actually. Incredible timing that they came out side by side lol

Absolutely, I agree. Let me clarify, I don't think all people are secretly evil or anything, or that power corrupts all, my feelings are more that positions of immense power attract a certain type. I completely believe that we can have a moral leader, who means well and does all they can, but how do you setup a system like that with longevity? How do you check and balance that kind of power in the long term, when someone takes it who does want to corrupt it, and will say anything to get their way, and has the support of the average person?

A generation or two of prosperity doesn't interest me if it creates all the tools and power for long lasting dystopia.

Also, just to be crystal clear (although I don't think you're insinuating this either), in no way do I think communists are out for power, or ill intentioned in the slightest. I would've said I'm communist myself a decade ago, but after a while of watching corrupt pastors, politicians, and businessman weasel their way into incredible power, and how they'll say one thing and do another, the more convinced I become of the need for a system that limits the power in any one place.

Lastly, I'm not so sure about China? Do feel free to share some resources, maybe I'm exclusively hearing the bad here, but aren't they involved in Uyghur genocide, and a country with some of the worst privacy imaginable? I'm still interested to hear about their political theory, but it doesn't seem like a government I'd want to live in.

Yeah, I respect that. Actually really liked the formatting of this post, with the little summary, and opening the discussion. Much better than having some bot just dump the link here for every video!

That's actually part of why I chose to drop the first comment, hopefully these can be hopping with some good engagement going forward. I think like many people, I often have thoughts or want to discuss these, but YT comments are just a nightmare if you want to do anything more than skim them.

Thought this was a really weird video for the main channel. Do they not have some kind of car channel at this point?

Anyway, appreciate they want to try new things, but this wasn't for me personally.

Eh, there's a lot of valid things to be skeptical about. Using these tools as a DM is fundamentally different from using them as a massive corporation, as you're not considering replacing your team of talented artists and writers to cut costs.

That said, done right, I also think this could be amazing. Legally train these models on the wealth of historical D&D art, and provide it to DMs to use during their campaigns to make maps, art for places the DM is describing on the fly, all of these things that no artist could possibly make because these locations are being invented on the fly as the players throw a skilled DM curveballs. D&D feels like an ideal "problem" for a lot of the "solutions" AI has to offer.

I also feel like a lot of the value of chronological is lost if I think it's algorithmic recommendations. If I don't know I'm browsing the latest? I'll likely just think the algorithm is serving up some garbage. Especially somewhere like Facebook, where people haven't really been curating their feed for years, just... following whoever to be polite and letting the algorithm take care of it.

Whoops

Well, happy you're here!
