There’s a fascinating situation playing out in China.

- Massive boom in microdrama viewers, to the point where they established their own Hollywood

- AI bros arrived and flooded the market with GenAI made microdramas

- They all looked the same, people stopped watching microdramas

- The market instantly crashed - only 1 in 70 shows are now profitable

- The government is now trying to bail out the sector by paying them to rehire humans to make them

Interesting idea. Not an instance owner, and not familiar with the finer details of federation, so no idea if it could be done. My initial concerns is that a majority vote won’t work, if you have to wait for the majority of instance mods to vote it’s going to be too slow. Maybe some degree of instance level config helps. For example, if i had my own instance, i would follow ban/delete recommendations from the likes of .world, .dbzer0, but maybe not from .ml without a human reviewing it first. Also need to ensure the ‘court’ does not get flooded.

It does sound like a decent idea, just not sure how it will work with the different ideologies of the Lemmy instances.
Things that are banworthy on one instance are not banworthy on another.

So, a bunch of other IGF jurors and myself are posting a statement on (and against) the encroachment of AI in the competition and the industry in general.

We're not gonna vote for any game that uses AI in any capacity, including coding. It seemed important to state this plainly, in the open, so:

Yet another case where top official does sweetheart "regulation" that helps his personal bottom line.

Perhaps we all misunderstood Jensen Huang when he said that we should be embracing agents in this age of AI.

@georgetakei If you change nothing then Nothing changes. From over here it looks like the other slightly-less right wing party has taken over the exploitation of the USA People on behalf of the Oligarchy or os that kleptocracy or kakistocracy.
Wish it wasn't so! but it appears that way #georgetakei

oh cool.. i have this ancient ipad that will run almost no modern software, but it still manages to play back h264 over hls over tls over wifi from a modern server

@fsfe I really appreciate the FSFEs work over the decades but the focus on proprietary mobile platforms while there are #FreeSoftware alternatives with openess and user freedom built in strikes me as odd.

Let's rather make sure those Free Software Android apps continue to run great on #MobileLinux (we don't need anything from google for that) and put the money into moving a platform forward that has freedom and openess built in from the ground up.

Immense respect for front-end developers. You cannot have a good guillotine without a good gui.

@jwildeboer @jurjen_heeck The same goes for printers and advanced photocopiers IMO. Looks bland, innocuous, but should be shot when making the wrong noise.
