ChatGPT decided to name itself Lemmy and asked people to join it in protesting API changes. But it was talking about the 'Anti Personnel Incendiary' system that was being removed because ChatGPT really shouldn't be controlling weapons systems.

when companies get too big, the C-level executives lose visibility about what the needs of the actual users are and instead

I think that cycle is universal. As any organization or group becomes increasingly stratified the decision makers at the top lose any connection to the foundations of prosperity that allowed to to grow and stratify in the first place.

I imagine it like a city on a mountain. As the city grows wealth and status concentrate at the top. That's normal and beneficial at small scales. But at a certain point the top moves above the cloud layer and can no longer see the base of the mountain. After that point those at the top start to forget how the mountain works and believe the cloud layer is part of the structure and their decisions become increasingly disconnected from any reality below that cloud layer.

And our globally connected society keeps those above the cloud layer in closer contact to the tops of other mountains than to the base of their own.

It will depend on sustained western support but Russia's capaity to maintain the war effort is already breaking while the west is still holding back full support. Russia is on an inevitable downward trajectory and Ukraine is very effectively utilizing a well of military support that is only limited by public sentiment.

Fifteen months of fighting has made clear that neither side has the capacity — even with external help — to achieve a decisive military victory over the other. Regardless of how much territory Ukrainian forces can liberate,

Interesting take. My take is that Russia has permanently isolated itself from any nation that isn't either a puppet or lining up for its natural resources while Ukraine effectively implements 'external support' to crush Russia's invasion.

I'm just glad to find something that's growing with public enthusiasm instead of dying from corporate greed.

The whole head-neck assembly is a disaster. Should have kept all the vital stuff in the torso and gone with articulated eyestalks.

I'm kind of loving it. I grew up on local BBS and before Reddit I was on lots of content-specific forums and boards but Reddit became my primary social media and it sort of absorbed the activity from a lot of those boards. Lemmy feels a bit more like the old internet forum thing, but improved- a bit spread out and janky at times but still condensed enough so I don't have a dozen forum accounts.

It really is. I'm glad I came over to Lemmy a few days before. Makes it easier to find the humor in this jackass imploding something so many people enjoy and contribute to.

I've also checked spez's user page and there's nothing there yet so are they late or am I in the wrong place?
