First, we are talking in the context of AI usage. Is the US military swarm you speak of run by AI and managed by one person with an intermittent signal? It’s not the number itself, it’s all the other aspects. That’s multiying drone power by 200× compared to a one drone to one pilot situation.

Yeah sorry about replying so flippantly, I edited it to be nicer, and you were right in your comment

produces far more advanced AI models than China

Do they though? American models are inefficient imitations of middle-management at best and they aren’t even able to break even, meanwhile China has successfully integrated them into huge projects.

If we can see that the huge influence corporations have is messing up the Texas power grid, and why don’t we assume that they are also influencing other infrastructures?

While it’s easy to assume that you can figure someone major personality traits out after a few minutes, that’s actually called a thin slice judgement which can drastically misrepresent people, especially neurodivergent people.

How does piefed defend against acts like this?

Thanks for the input. I am planning on spinning a test instance up to investigate more this week next week if I have time.

Ghori explained that they worked with local and state governments to get permits that allow companies to “modify this ground temporarily,” and said they are typically for things like carnivals.

X being run as a carival makes a lot of sense. Managed by clowns and all

I’m just reading the code, no need for all caps. Have you tested it to see that, if you remove your defederated list, that it doesn’t fallback to defederating those?

I am reading it directly from the code in the repo.

What other instances beyond the 4 listed in the code here are by default defederated? Afaiu if you try to 100% federate by having no defederated instances, this overrides and defederates from these 4 again.

Punk porn not mentioned smh

I may be reading this wrong, but it seems defederated instances it falls back to defederating hexbear/ml/grad? It runs every time site_instance_chooser_view is called.

defed_list = BannedInstances.query.filter(or_(BannedInstances.domain == 'hexbear.net',
BannedInstances.domain == 'lemmygrad.ml', BannedInstances.domain == 'hilariouschaos.com', BannedInstances.domain == 'lemmy.ml')).order_by(BannedInstances.domain).all()

And piefed removes your ability to choose that.

I recommend if/when you do, add the link in this post for posterity!
