Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
it really isn't, or if it is it isn't intuitive and I would love to learn. (can I please stop seeing the idiots that think AI will just go away in a few years)
You are responsible for your feed. That means you need to actively block what you don't want to see. You can block on 3 levels. Block the Author, Community, or Instance. It's very effective. Start wide, then go narrow. After a few weeks of scrolling and blocking, now I don't see any politics and I engage with posts I care about. Sure, there'll be random comments still I encounter trying to bring that stuff into the discussion, but more and more time now passes between having to block individual people.
One thing I agree it is harder to do for are general communities like this one since there are no word filters. But again that's a risk you take allowing general communities in your feed.
Maybe it depends on what client you use, but on Mlem it’s very easy.
aw, someone yucking your AI slop yummy?
Aren't you the guy that defends pedophilia?
no, mostly just tired of the wishful thinking that it will vanish / be regulated out if existence, I won't deny I think LLMs can be helpful but are also extremely harmful to the internet.
well, good news: AI is going to go away. It's bubble is going to pop, it's going to take out a huge chunk of the economy, it's foolish, single purpose infrastructure will go down as one of the stupidest investments of human civilization, and it'll be a punchline for generations like tulip futures and the segway changing humanity.
edit: go back to reddit ffs, they love ai garbage
I don't give a shit about the companies, the models aren't going away.
sure bud.
that's like saying: z80 microprocessors might go away but the software will stick around.
no, there will be better, newer things created. your models are LLMs. hardly worthy of your adoration
the z80 is still being made, the ti 84 plus ce even has one in it and that was sold by the millions to highschool(er)s, most technologies do not end up being phased out entirely after their replacement is made.
what a bucket of cope.
