Is Twitter/X viable for that? They can decide, and have, to randomly put information behind login walls.

If it were a new platform and somebody wanted to try that I’d at least watch what happens, but Musk has burned through too much credability.
Not exactly, no, but a website can’t reasonably be expected to cover everything and that wouldn’t be desirable either.
What does “cloudflare so who cares lol” mean exactly?
Cloudflare is so good that you don’t even have to care about your privacy because they’ve got it covered?
or
Nobody who uses Cloudflare would care about privacy, and for some reason that’s worthy of a “lol”?
or what?
Yes, the term censorship in this context is particularly infuriating to me. It’s not censorship since these are privately owned websites that can link to whatever they like, and users can choose whether or not to use them. When DuckDuckGo launched, before privacy concerns were such a pressing issue the fact that they filtered poor quality sources was one of their most advertised selling points: https://www.technologyreview.com/2010/07/26/26327/the-search-engine-backlash-against-content-mills/
Yep, the strict marine reserve. But it doesn’t stop the military base from pumping sewage into it, and it doesn’t stop rich people with yachts from going there. Just normal people and Chagos islanders aren’t allowed. Also a difficult thing to note is that this was during a Labour government (which many liberal-minded British people consider a lesser of two evils). The only major politician who intended to do right there was Jeremy Corbyn, but he was slaughtered by the media for being not evil enough.
I don’t fully agree with OP but I think we could probably do with adjusting some of them. Personally I think with current AI, if somebody composes something by making multiple AI prompts and selects the best result, they should get some kind of authorship because they used a tool to create something.
Detecting whether a student used ChatGPT to write an assignment can be challenging, but there are some signs and strategies you can consider:
Unusual Language or Style: ChatGPT may produce content that is unusually advanced or complex for a student’s typical writing style or ability. Look for inconsistencies in language usage, vocabulary, and sentence structure.
Inconsistent Knowledge: ChatGPT’s knowledge is based on information up to its last training cut-off in September 2021. If the assignment contains information or references to events or developments that occurred after that date, it might indicate that they used an AI model.
Generic Information: If the content of the assignment seems to consist of general or widely available information without specific personal insights or original thought, it could be a sign that ChatGPT was used.
Inappropriate Sources: Check the sources cited in the assignment. If they cite sources that are unusual or not relevant to the topic, it may indicate that they generated the content using an AI model.
Plagiarism Detection Tools: Use plagiarism detection software, such as Turnitin or Copyscape, to check for similarities between the assignment and online sources. While these tools may not specifically detect AI-generated content, they can identify similarities between the assignment and publicly available text.
Interview or Discussion: Consider discussing the assignment topic with the student during a one-on-one interview or discussion. If they struggle to explain or elaborate on the content, it may indicate they didn’t personally generate it.
It’s important to approach these situations with caution and avoid making accusations without concrete evidence. If you suspect that a student used an AI model to complete an assignment, consider discussing your concerns with the student and offering them the opportunity to explain or rewrite the assignment in their own words.
Sure, I wish them nothing but failure, but I’m intending to wait around and see what happens first. From what I’ve heard Threads isn’t going well for them anyway. I still worry that even if there’s mass defederation it would still poison the pool, because it would influence the culture of instances that are federated with it and isolate those that aren’t.
Absolutely, I post much more here because I know actual people will actually read it and may actually respond like they would to an actual human. It’s like the old days of the internet.
Nothing is federated to Threads, they haven’t switched it on yet.
None of that is particularly the thing that worries me - Meta could be crawling Lemmy right now and getting all that information even if they weren’t planning on supporting federation, but it’s on the public web intentionally to be read, so it’s just like anyone else reading it. The only piece of information I’m surprised would get shared is IP address, and without knowing the technical reasons I’m wondering how/why they would get this and if it’s something Lemmy could fix in software.
The main thing that worries me is still if the toxic culture of Meta’s social networks floods into our communities.
It’s pretty bad even in the context of British Colonialism and notably recent.
The British Indian Ocean Territory was formed specifically to prevent the native inhabitants from gaining self-determination, allowing for a joint UK/US military base to be set up. The inhabitants were forcibly expelled in the 1960s, and ever since then the British government have taken active, sometimes deceptive, measures to prevent them from ever returning. You should look it up.
That particular jurisdiction exists pretty unethically as well, which somewhat puts me off sites that use it.
It’s always been a pet peeve of mine when TLDs get used for something other than their purpose. I get that countries have benefited from it, but that’s random chance and not what the system was set up for. I know this is a small thing to get annoyed about (so don’t take me too seriously) but if it were up to me, .ai domains should have to prove their connection to Anguilla.
No, if it was unlimited, I should be able to pipe /dev/urandom to it for fun if that’s what I choose to do. What’s this about “gluttony”? They sold the service as that.
Why, you know there isn’t mythical endless and free source of crab legs right?
If there’s not then they have no business selling an unlimited supply of it.
Nobody should reasonably think there is. “Endless” is advertising.
Where I’m from services should be as advertised, legally so.
If they were just honest about it and say “this is expensive so we need to put the prices up”, I would have a lot more respect for that.
SLA? If that means something like “service level agreement” (I don’t know, you didn’t specify, I’m guessing) then I can still find examples where it falls well below what I would expect from a public service such that if there was an agreement in place that I would definitely be opposed to it as a tax payer.
I mean yes obviously, there are much more viable platforms like Mastodon, or even a self-hosted website.
