This has been attempted multiple times over the last few years and has had many forms. It never quite works as the posts still end up being very bot-like as it’s never managed correctly.

The worst iteration was someone who went so far as to create mirror accounts for the commenters and also copied over the comments as well. That was absolutely horrible and actually pissed a lot of people off when they realized they were replying to “ghost” accounts.

I honestly already want to block all posts that this plugin might create. They always just turn out being noisy and irrelevant. Posts aren’t “published work” and kinda need to happen organically. Also, one of the reasons many of us like Lemmy is because of the lower traffic and (generally) better quality posts.

Magnets, maybe.

What exact is the goal here? You kinda just rolled right into install instructions without context…

Reddit was always more toxic than not. Lemmy is still toxic in places, but the worst of it is contained in its own echo chambers. Lemmy has cross-instance drama more than cross-community drama.

It’s just easier for like minded people to congregate around the instance of their choosing rather than just a single subreddit or specific Lemmy community. That does cause community fragmentation, but personally, I would much rather it be that way.

My point is that people are still just people and that toxicity is still around. We are able to self-segregate, so that helps a ton.

Yeah, you won’t find many niche communities here, unfortunately. However, you can usually find answers in what could be considered adjacent communities. People may still be helpful. As a random, off-the-cuff example, if you had a specific question about a model of synthesizer, you could probably get away with asking something in a music community that has a decent amount of traffic.

Users that have been around a bit know the challenges with limited communities so slightly off-topic, informational discussion is usually handled fairly well.

I also missed the traffic at first, but I don’t any more. Hell, it used to be super quiet on Lemmy not too long ago but it really has picked up. Along with the traffic came more trolls, more arguments, etc, but it’s not too bad. Less traffic, but feedback can be much higher quality and it’s easier to reach consensus with multi-user discussions.

At the end of the day, Lemmy isn’t Reddit. Once your dopamine receptors have the chance to adjust, it’ll be ok. It may feel like there is less participation because people aren’t being algorithmically driven to controversy. In many ways, Lemmy can be closer to what “real” Internet discussion is like.

The point of Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit without the algorithmic bullshit, bot flooding or extreme moderation. There are plenty of other resons for Lemmy, so pick your poison.

Just stop interacting with Reddit completely. Trust me, you will he better for it. It’s just a shadow of what it was and is just regurgitated bot slop that was sourced from Reddit to begin with.

If there are over 500 types of amino acids, my questions is: What the limiting factor is in creating the bonds needed to form proteins? It’s cool that you could use one less amino acid, but why not more? It seems like this is a time/evolution question, but the answer may be simpler than that.

They aren’t. Best case, it’s silver plated.

Super shitty paywall.

Moab, I think.

Totally. :)

Might be the other way 'round with who is the grand master.

There had to be a ton of development with the pawns at the start of the game. That usually leads to every pawn getting jammed in the middle of the board which allows the players to move out their back rank.

Badger went full Leroy Jenkins with his rook, causing the collapse of the pawn defenses. (A pawn taking a rook might cascade the pawn defense destruction since rabbit was willing to sacrifice one or more pawns for that rook. I certainly would.)

An experienced player probably couldn’t resist walking the pawn down, because 1. He could and 2. YOLO. Plus, it’s a good lesson for rabbit, regardless. Pawns actually do mean something and creating chaos on the back rank with a single pawn is a lesson I wouldn’t ever forget.

I am just puzzled about how that pawn got to where it is at. Badger moved the pawn into double-check against the knights. Or, the pawn moved into check against one knight and rabbit moved the second knight after. But it’s chess, so a thousand other things could of happened, but still… That pawn was hauling ass and there probably wasn’t time for anything more complex.

It’s always been broken, disjointed and tribal. You can tell everyone, but many have already known this. Hell, most of humanity is like this naturally.

Almost every large organization is this way, really. Most of it is just covered up by goverment or corporate propaganda or some weird sense of duty people have to jobs or organizations.

This ain’t anything new, is my point. It’s new and shocking to you, sure. Welcome to the tribe of the disillusioned. It was always better in the past and new people are always going to make it “like it was” and “better”. (Quite literally the selling point myth of MAGA, to be honest.)

Gross. A Facebook link. This is one of the few times I would have considered another layer of jpg a good thing.

Yeah, its a hell of an experience many people should have. (Many people probably also shouldn’t.) At the core of it all, I believe that being able to view problems through a very different lense is a big part of how psychedelics work when used for deep therapy. In many cases, I could see and interact with my emotions and feelings like they were an independent thing. I could almost visualize and touch my own emotions. Being able to see through my problems and get closure for issues that were supposed to be long in my past was a very beautiful thing. Trippy stuff, quite literally.

Also, (and this is really for others that are reading this) I am not really joking with my personification of a mushroom. I used to think that was just some crazy burned-out hippy talk, but there is so much more to it than that. Yes. A mushroom talking is absolutely a hallucination. That isn’t what that literally is though…

It’s more of a very primal, internal dialogue. It’s like the voice that we choose not to listen to when we have a “gut feeling” about something and can’t vocalize the concern. It’s the voice in your head that always knows the right decisions to make even if we brush it off through a normal day. That is the mushroom talking and it’s got a really powerful voice if you ever choose to follow Alice down that rabbit hole far enough.

I attribute mushrooms to finally breaking my years long journey as a fairly committed alcoholic.

The decisions or realizations people can have during an intense trip tend to be really sticky for a very long time regardless if it’s a good trip or a bad one. It’s the nature of the beast.

But mushrooms be like you described sometimes. I won’t go near the dosages I was taking when I was kicking booze. 1-2 grams every once in a while is just fine for me.

After my last power trip (+5 grams) I saw what I needed to see and probably will never go in that range again. It was a life changing trip and thankfully not a bad one. However, when the mushrooms speak to you like that, you listen. They told me I was done and I was ready to heal on my own.

LPT, keep a stopwatch going for psychedelics. I’ll start a timer on my phone when I drop and it helps snap me out of any kind of time related disorientation as I peak. For your average time dilation stuff, it’s awesome. If I can’t see my phone, then time probably is the last thing on my mind.

Most of this is just marketing crap from Anthropic.

Finding vulnerabilities in code and generating complex, multistep exploits with publicly available models is possible now. This biggest hurdles now is setting correct context and actually knowing what to look for. Any “guardrails” for this behavior are easily bypassed by framing the detection and exploit generation as a valid dev style question in the most difficult of situations.

They likely just trained a model without guardrails in this case.

What they are doing here is over-hyping a problem and framing it like they are the only ones with a solution. LLM security issues are more in-focus now that companies have dumped a ton of resources into building AI systems they don’t really understand.

I want it to be a Lower Decks reference.
