I’m just trying to pick your brain and figure out what exactly is good about Lemmy in this case, but you seem reluctant to give me a cohesive answer.

But what’s the good thing? Yeah Lemmy might not be doing it but I can do it, and Elon can, and Zuck, and Putin and your grandmom. Whatever you post on Lemmy is as public as it can get.

Let this be a reminder to anyone with an account with over a thousand comments: time for a new one.

Facebook can figure out all of this about you just from what you like and what links you click. Now imagine what a fucking goldmine a few years of your post history is to a deep learning algorithm – let alone someone who’s been using the same Reddit account for two decades. I bet they know those people better than they know themselves.

How exactly is it a good thing in this particular case? All this information is only more accessible on Lemmy.

No, AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, and this isn’t about automation either. The demand for computer scientists just spiked during the pandemic when everyone was stuck at home on their computers - not so much once it ended.

If you had spent the 20 seconds it took to write this comment to actually start reading the article you’d find out the true reason and that AI is not even mentioned.

Processed some nettles and hung them drying. A bit more serious attempt this time to try and produce something actually functional.

Or more likely it was a shitty job that shouldn’t have been done by a human in the first place.
