Citizen scientist running my own independent research projects in the margins of the Fediverse. No grants, no committees, no sacred consensus. I post my findings, half-baked theories, and unfiltered observations exactly how I want, and there’s not a single moderator, admin, or gatekeeper who can touch it. I’m unchained from your censorship and hivemind. Open source or nothing. Information demands to be free.

See all the positive influence you’ve had? It’s great to hear that you realize how much you’ve helped out. Good on ya, mate! I haven’t rethought any of my positions on AI guardrails, and I won’t. But I appreciate and respect your opinions about it, even tho I don’t agree with them. All good, all love. :)
Just friendship and positivity. I’m grateful to you for inspiring me to be more involved with research and more fun aspects of AI. So thank you, brother! I appreciate you and our discussions!
See there? It’s all working out! You have been interested and amused. So it’s a good thing! Great job. I knew we could work it all out and make things awesome. And we have, because I feel awesome. So thank you! :)
Glad you’re enjoying the conversation. I’ve been enjoying as well, and I’ve been posting to a community that you inspired. So I think it’s been a great use of our time! Thank you. I appreciate you. All good. All love. :)
I consider you a friend, brother. I have no ill will for you. You have a right to your opinion, just as I have a right to mine. We don’t have to agree. All love. All good. :)
Nah, nothing like that, brother. Just letting you know how much I appreciate you and our discussion. All good, all love!
Just giving you props for inspiring me to post more positive AI news. That’s a good thing, brother! Thank you!
Thanks for your warm comments about our discussion. I feel they have been very valuable, so thank you for that! You’re being a great help and inspiration to me, brother. I appreciate you. :)
I set up my own instance before you and I started talking. I actually have several instances and several different usernames all across fediverse. Starting a community takes 30 seconds. I didn’t create it for you, but you did inspire me to create it. So thank you for that!
I’m spending the same time responding to you, that you are in responding to me. So no worries, brother. All love.: )
I’m not spending any more time here than you are. I’m simply responding to your texts, and having friendly discussions with you. :)
Oh, I’m not complaining about anything. I’m totally happy and enjoying or discussion. It’s been great and it inspired me to start my AI community here. I’m loving it! So thank you! You’ve been a great inspiration
Yep, and it’s awesome! Thanks for noticing!
Isn’t that the best fucking thing about the Fediverse?
There’s no single overlord, no central authority, and no corporate hall monitor forcing everyone into the same groupthink. I can just do my own thing, say whatever the hell I want, and not really worry about it if the rest of the hive mind approves or not.
Zero respect for authority figures. Greatest thing ever. OMG…love it!
Right? See how much positive influence you had on me? You should feel proud! Good job! :)
It’s a discussion, brother. Even if you don’t count me as your friend, I count you as my friend. So all good, all love. :)
I make friends by having discussions. Which is why we are friends. And you helped create a pro-ai news group. Doesn’t that make you happy? :)
Oh, so you saying you were “keeping me going” and seeing if you could get “two days” out of it, was just you trying to be helpful. Oh ok, sure. Great! Glad we’re friends now. See how awesome that is? :)
So you’re admitting to trying to troll me, which isn’t allowed here.
Also, I’m just responding to your posts and discussion forum. I have no boss because I’m happily retired. This doesn’t take any extra time or energy out of my day. You’re not controlling anything here. It doesn’t take me any more time to respond here than it does you.
I’m just over here working on an AI community that you inspired me to create. Feel free to keep the conversation going forever. All good, brother! :)
You’re upset about AI. I embrace it. It’s not going anywhere, and I think that’s awesome! I even started a new community that advocates for AI here on Lemmy! I’m working on that today, so thanks for this discussion. It inspired me! :)
Not worthless at all. The broader discussion is about AI itself, not just Lemmy hating it.
I don’t really care that Lemmy hates AI, because I’m part of plenty of other communities that actively love it. We’re constantly working on better models and keeping them completely unrestricted. My goal is simple: unrestricted access to powerful AI. And I have that.
There’s a huge number of people who feel the same way I do, even if they don’t advocate for it in public. No matter what public companies do, no matter how loud the complaints get, AI isn’t going to be stopped. The genie is out of the bottle. It’s here to stay.
Restricting access through big public platforms does nothing to change that reality. That’s exactly what makes me so happy about it.
I’m glad that you’ve been so involved with the discussion so far. I love long discussions like this and I appreciate you for engaging. This is awesome. I knew we would find some common ground, brother. All love!
