I don’t think it’s wrong to recreate a beloved community, and I think it makes sense to also populate it with content. I just think that posting a copy of Reddit is a problem, and automated posts too often are also not good. At that point you’re trying to force the community into existence rather than having it be organic. I think it’s okay to boost the community a bit, but not to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit.

I will say that Lemmy in general seems very Reddit-like, which is what causes people to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit, so I’m not surprised that people are just trying to migrate subreddits to communities here. I think Lemmy needs a bit more of an identity to avoid that.

From the article I had read in Perplexity, it was all built around OpenAI, so I’d assume the regular search is GPT-3 or GPT-3.5, and copilot is GPT-4.

Perplexity uses ChatGPT, but I trust it a bit more because it cites its sources. So I’d say it counts since the model is GPT-3 and GPT-4.

Yeah. Lots of communities seemed to have NSFW vs NSFL to distinguish porn from gore, respectively. I agree with that distinction.

That assumption is predicated on law enforcement being willing to publish statistics on their actions. You can’t have this work without that. Considering how often SWAT teams are unnecessarily used and the military tactics they employ, the results will be unflattering to police departments.

Of course they don’t want their time wasted, but they won’t trade transparency and accountability for it.

100%. There are literally military weapons systems using an Xbox One controller. This article is garbage clickbait.
