What are the biases of Lemmy?

[qaz@lemmy.world]

I think it's both. Some people dislike all AI because of generative AI like LLM's, but many people seem to care about making the distinction between generative AI and traditional ML.

How much time do you have?

You can keep it to the top 3 subjects you feel differ most or haven't been mentioned in this thread

I see a lot of disestablishmentarism

Not a whole lot of antidisestablishmentarianism though.

I haven't seen much Zionist propaganda here (unlike major subreddits, for example) and, when it is posted, it's e-boo'd with downvotes.

Which seems uninformed and ridiculous as Deep Learning for classification and regression problems is an absolute valid tool that cannot be replaced anymore in many domains. I don't care about LLM bullshit, but being "against Deep Learning in general" is stupid.

Are people anti non-generative AI? Or is broader AI just getting dragged in to the justified anti genAI sentiment?

I formed this question to myself and was about to post it, but then I remembered Lemmy also hates self-driving cars which are likely Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) or Recurrent Nerual Networks (RNN) which are not part of Generative AI at all.

Isn't the dbzero Lemmy instance pro AI?

[partial_accumen@lemmy.world]

Lemmy prefers Star Trek over Star Wars.

• The average age seems to be much higher. I joined when I was 16 and feel quite young unlike on other social media.

Enjoy. Less echo bubbles. This goes in both directions, but mainly I value that younger people are able to be part of "mature conversations". Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to underestimate your worldview or anything. It's just that I'm remembering when I was around your age, the Internet was in a raw form, and it felt much like this. I was amazed to be able to talk with other adults and learn about their tastes on say books or movies when I joined some theme specific chat channel (via protocol IRC). At some point this changed drastically (e.g. Facebook connecting people from real life/ schools).. and I think nowadays TikTok, Insta, and for the most part, even YouTube are just centered around being young, pretty... very much like mainstream TV.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[galoisghost@aussie.zone]

People before profit.

Cities should be walkable

AI as we know it was unethically developed and is more marketing than solution.

Trans rights are human rights. Even more, gender is a spectrum, so everyone really, is a tiny bit trans.

Fuck Israel.

Punch fascists.

It is very left, sometimes infuriatingly so when the people here defend autocratic countries such as Iran.

[libb@piefed.social]

Depends where you look. I also have no idea whats that 'general Internet' you mention. I mean, what are its biases?

[galoisghost@aussie.zone]

Depends which beans you’re baking

In no particular order: Anticapitalist, pro LGBT+, lots of stoners, most users from Americas and Western/Central Europe, lots of computer nerds, some anarchs, some tankies, anti religion

Honestly similar to leftist parts of Reddit BUT with the voice of reason usually coming out on top in the comments. That means in comparison it's less alarmist, less extreme in general and just more nuanced.

One topic that I think is a blind spot is the anti religion part. Many users don't distinguish between anti religion and anti spirituality, the latter frankly being none of their business. It's oddly accepted to be aggressively atheist here. Another blind spot is the prevalent defeatism. It's not everyone but I don't think people are aware of what they're doing to their own mind when they only focus on bad news all day.

[venus_ziegenfalle@feddit.org]

The secret is that it doesn't matter all that much beyond who that instance is federated with. Any of the popular ones will feel similar from the get-go and only more and more so as time goes on.

[facedeer@fedia.io]

"AI bad" overrides "Piracy ok", though. I've seen threads in the main piracy community where the general consensus seemed to be that copyright should be used as a weapon against AI.
