Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

as seen here and here, some instances are feeding posts wholesale to prompts, for what seem like extremely unsound reasons to me

I’d rather make this a learning moment than a purging moment.

absolutely! please show me you’ve learned from this moment by taking a stance against the use of LLMs anywhere in the moderation process and making it part of your instance’s policies going forward.

I think that would just be performative at this point, but I'll discuss with the team.

perform away! please keep in mind that Lemmy and ActivityPub are communities, and the only proof of intent we have is through action. a change in policy might feel performative, but it gives me something I can boost as a positive example and a sign that things will be better going forward.

We're probably long overdue with an official meta post in our instance about this whole shitshow that we can link on the next time this disinfo is pushed.
