Technology
News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

I wonder if the trend we all noticed where it became progressively dumber over time was a result of an intentional lobotomy to make it more conservative?
Switched from pro gpt to pro lechat just today.
Together with switching from reddit to here.
Welcome!
I've been considering cancelling my chatgpt subscription, what's the advantage of lechat?
That it's European.
And it makes less errors with having data truly up to date. Also so far it feels like it hallucinates less.
Other than that chatgpt is superior. Especially in contexual understanding and actually writing in a more human way.
Lechat is somewhat more clinical in its answers.
Overall chatgpt is better, though it's American so I won't use it anymore
ChatGPT has always randomly made up weird bullshit.
Always does. Didn't twitter (before musk) make a chat bot that became a racist, holocaust denying, consiracy theorist bot?
I think a lot of the early ones did. If you are scaping comments you are going to get a lot of racist shit.
That's going to always happen when training data with the entire internet. The outliers will always skew thing more than the mainstream if the models are not designed to exclude them.
And there are a lot of contributing factors, for example with right leaning stuff being more available for LLMs to process as the platforms are generally less concerned about privacy and more concerned about policing and control (that's just what right wing is), of course the models are going to see more of it than the left leaning stuff where people are more on the repressed side, more likely to use more private communication methods, and less likely to be able to safely, publicly share outlier kinds of views to skew things the other way. Even the people who pretend to be extreme left-wing, like the USSR or the Chinese Communist Party, are usually, in reality, right-wing.
ChatGPT isn't shifting anywhere politically. It repeats what it hears, it doesn't hold any opinions of its own because it isn't sapient.
People are shifting rightwards politically. Let's not shift the blame onto an computer program, like it isn't our fault the shit is like that.
Funny how that lines up with the current political climate
