  • Just idea that they expect growth where there is none is strange. This business are at the limit and have no way to grow faster than economic situation of many people around the world gets better.

    Sad part is fir them it is better to destroy service trying to increase growth in meaningless ways, than to just find a way to keep the business that is working.

    Idea of infinite growth is ruining us.




  • AI has been paying of for decades, it is used in all industries for appropriate tasks.

    Now it is even better we are doing stuff no one thought it could be possible and advancing our work.

    Perfect use case is for things that are simple to do but take too much time to be economical for humans (ex. counting products, plants, trees, cars, disease detection…) and using additional data to make better decisions.

    Generative AI (for writing text, coding,… ) is of course no where close to being useful, but it can interesting to try. It is just a toy, expensive one, but still a toy.


  • I can not watch the video now but I have read description.

    Thing is I see them more as entertainers than IT professionals, so I don’t expect any valid data from them. If not before, it became obvious with the whole Linux for a month fiasco where he complains that it’s Linux’s falult he deleted important packages.

    But I get it, youtube is forcing this dramatic, often, high performing videos on all creators. You can see it explained very often by various youtubers.

    Of course they care more about quantity, because Algorithm will punish them for not publishing and they will disappear.

    No one living from youtube can not be trusted right now, they are all forced to publish often clickbity dramatic videos.






  • I don’t even know how to answer questions.

    I lost my old account and now I don’t have points on new account and I can not do anything. I can not vote, I can not comment, I can not answer questions. So I just dropped it. I can not even thank (by liking or upvoting) a person whose answer helped me.

    I believe others have similar experience.










  • That sounds great and at least we can try something and learn what can or can not be done. I am totally interested in working on bot detection.

    I know that emails remain locally, but those can also be important part of pattern detection, but it has to be done without them.

    Fediseer sounds great, at least building some in instances.

    I am more thinking on votes, comments and post detection from individual accounts in which fediseer would be quite important weight.


  • There are data scientist around and we are monitoring where this goes.

    Bigest problem I currently see is how to effectively share data but preserve privacy. Can this be solved without sharing emails and ip addresses or would that be necessary? Maybe securely hashing emails and ip addresses is enough, but that would hide some important data.

    Should that be shared only with trusted users?

    Can we create dataset where humans would identify bots and than share with larger community (like kaggle), to help us with ideas.

    There are options and will be built, just jt can not happen in few days. People are working non stop to fix (currently) more important issues.

    Be patient, collect the data and let’s work on solution.

    And let’s be nice to each others, we all have similar goals here.
