Oh I totally agree, I am very fatigued of violence driven games, and have high hopes for Palia. I'm just a little apprehensive that if they just try to copy the non combat parts of zelda and mix it up with animal crossing, it's not going to be enough.
Same here, though I do wonder how they will keep us interested, as they have deliberately not shown any combat. Not even stardew valley went as far as removing combat from the gameplay loop.
I only use the web UI, jerboa didn't click with me. The only issue I have with it s that collapsing comments can be tricky.
I think the plan should be bracing for impact, and how to deal with the after-effect. Because let's be honest, we are in a late stage capitalism, and Meta megacorp will get what it wants.
I don't currently see it spilling it's poison to Lemmy/kbin. I'm hopeful rather, but I may be misunderstanding how the fediverse works.
But for mastodon, I would say the outcome is a segregation, as it's safe to assume that communities that integrate wirh Meta will be consumed. Unfortunately that likely means starting from scratch, with a even nichier community, as far as I can see. Not exactly from nothing, but content loss will be inevitable, which is the Fediverse greatest weakness imho.
You are right in assuming there will be a symbyosis between AI generated text and human generated text, but jumping from there to assume that we will be using solely AI generated text is wrong, in my opinion.
AI generated content is not good enough on its own, despite what OpenAI marketing team wants you to think. No quality content is made by simply prompting chatGPT. Not just in writing, but in any field of knowledge, actually. Using chatGPT without some level of domain and fact checking on the subject you are prompting is a sure way to get screwed, as some lawyer in the USA will tell you.
But going back to writing specifically, what we will see at first is actually an improvement on the overall quality of human generated writing, with AI offering a solution to the mechanical and usually boring side of writing good content, such as eloquence, syntax, clarity, etc.
Then, what we will also begin to notice is the more frequent use of what I like to call shitstorming.
Shitstorming consisting in prompting a LLM model to bring up ideas, drafts and opinions on subjects you want to write about, and have some understanding on. What you will receive in response will be a biased, somewhat lacking content, which will either inspire you to modify and refactor in a way that it makes sense, or make you so angry that you will have to write something better in response to it. Writer's block will become a thing of the past.
There are others aspects and nuances to this symbiosis, but to avoid going longer on an already long post, I would conclude by saying that this evolution will be a loop that will keep improving LLMs, while also improving human writing simply because we will continuously look for ways to make the content better, and more original.
The bad side is that, for those that don't know how to use the tool, the amount of lacking content and standardized communication will indeed flood the internet, but this will only serve to contrast original content to the point where we will immediatly recognize the two apart, much like we do with advertising nowdays.
I'm very divided with 1984. It's context is so massively anti-communist, yet it ironically portrayed much of the authoritarianism we see today in capitalist countries. So much so that when I first read it in my teens, it didn't cross my mind that he was taking shots at old Russia! I find it to be one of those few things that are better when you interpret it wrong.
Oh yeah, my hopes are high, I already am quite fond of this new home. :)
I think preservation is happening, the issue lies in accessibility. Projects like Archive.org are the public ones, but it is certain that private organizations are doing the same, just not making it public.
This is also something that is my biggest worry about the Fediverse. It has tools to deal with it, but they are self-contained. No search engine is crawling the Fediverse as far as I've looked, and no initiative to archive, index and overall make the content of the Fediverse accessible is currently in place, and that's a big risk. I'm sure we will soon be seeing loss of information for this reason, if not already happened.
Lemmy was not created last week, man. All you see here today already existed and was running when spez hit the fan.
In that sense, part of what attracts me to this is a bit of the barrier to entry. I find it enticing, it reminds me of the good old days, where you had to earn your way in, in a sense. Of course that's silly old man talk, because honestly, all you have to do is select any random site and sign up.
Lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml, it all comes down to the same thing. This "barrier" to entry is almost fictitious, and I feel that's the ideal type of barrier.
If you think Edge is a bust, I got news for you: if you are using Windows, pretty much everything spies on you now days. :)
Easy there, tiger. You will get there, don't worry.
