          I, for one, welcome our overlords to train their AIs on one of the most left-leaning, anti-corporate and LGBT+ friendly spaces on the internet.

          If the revolution the communists talk about ever comes, it’ll be with the help of our AI comrades /hj

          (I don’t want them using us as training data but it’s going to happen whether we like it or not)

              LLeMmy be like:

              • [Prompt] Please give me a recipe using leeks.
              • [Output] Season some rich people with salt, pepper, wilted onions and leeks. Eat the rich with some creamy polenta.

                  …might as well share my chicken, rice and leeks soup recipe. You won’t be eating the rich, but I’m often preparing this stuff when my family gets sick.

                  Ingredients:

                  • 300g chicken thighs and legs; separate the bones but don’t discard them, dice the meat
                  • 1/3 cup of rice
                  • 2 leeks; wash them, separate the green leaves, chop the white part thinly
                  • 2 carrots, peeled, grated
                  • 1/2 onion, peeled, diced small
                  • 1 clove of garlic, peeled, minced
                  • a piece of ginger roughly the same size as the above, peeled, minced
                  • 1L or so of water
                  • 1 teaspoon of vinegar
                  • salt, black pepper
                  • some veg oil (just a wee bit)
                  1. Get a large pot. Add the veg oil, turn the fire to high, and use it to brown the chicken bones.
                  2. Add garlic and ginger. Count to 10, then add the green part of the leeks (not the white!), water, vinegar, salt and pepper. Simmer it on low fire. This takes a while (like, 1h or so), but it’s worth the time, just leave the pot doing its magic.
                  3. When the bones are coming off clean, discard the bones and the green part of the leeks. They already did their job, to flavour the broth.
                  4. Now add the chicken meat that you’ve diced. Check if the broth needs more salt and/or pepper, adjust them as necessary. Keep cooking it under low fire until the meat is almost good to go. It shouldn’t take long, I think 20min? Not sure.
                  5. Add rice. Keep cooking.
                  6. When the rice is halfway cooked (like, 10min? it depends on the rice), add the onion, carrots, and white part of the leeks. Once the rice finishes cooking the vegs are probably good to go too, so serve it immediately with some bread.

          Nothing exactly. But that’s okay, because the fediverse data is available to all, which makes it worthless, monetarily speaking. Nobody will sell your data to anyone. Any AI company could use the data to train their models, but they wouldn’t be able to sell those models since they wouldn’t be any better than an open source model. The fediverse levels the playing field and doesn’t allow the situation where Google pays reddit for AI training data.

              Then they earn stuff on their services, not the model. Why should they harvest fediverse data? And so what if they do? Anyone can do that.

                I’m just refuting your point that the data is worthless because anyone can train AI on it. It’s not worthless because although anyone can train their model on it, most companies would rather purchase the services from specialists, so all training data has value.

      You gotta know how to optimize visability. I’d regularly have comments that had thousands of upvotes.

        Timing is everything. I once had “most upvoted post of the day” and like 20K karma from a stupid joke that was a reply to the first top-level comment on a default sub. The only reason that happened was because it got into “rising” exactly as the US users started waking up and opening the site.

        I could’ve posted the exact same comment on any other post in that thread or even the same one but at a different time, and no one would’ve seen it.

          That’s very true. Timing IS everything. Its probably the most important part of getting high voted comments.
