This is the biggest problem with Valve at the moment. They're awesome, but only because of the current leadership. Once these guys retire or die, it's very likely Valve will enshittify like every other business.

Valve needs to be hit by regulators at some point. They just have too much market power.

I think you're confused by the purpose of that statement. When the authors say not to use it for anything important, they're basically trying to waive liability (informally). It's kind of like how every open source license has a statement like:

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED ...

If you use an open source project for air traffic control software, and a bug causes a bunch of people to die, that's your fault, not the author of the software. The CLIP people are essentially saying that you shouldn't use their software to build something that requires a lot of accuracy since it probably wasn't designed to be as accurate as you need it to be.

But what I'm wondering is why you're being so dramatic about this. You're claiming that it's highly dangerous/reckless/risky to use it, yet hand waving over the why.

Are you a lawyer? This feels like FUD.

I strongly advise anyone against using this software in production, as you will be on the hook for anything this software doesn’t catch.

So if you don't use this software, you're not on the hook for the pictures that this tool doesn't catch?

The real answer is just that it’s a blanket term used by conservatives to refer to liberal ideas. For example, saying that gay marriage should be legal makes you “woke”

That yacht will trickle down to the writers, actors, and crew members.

This looks cool as fuck. Does it actually work, as in it can restore somebody’s vision? Or is there another purpose to it?

Write an autobiography and sneak it onto a Florida library shelf. If it gets banned, then you’re officially trans!

 

The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

  • ~30 years old or older

  • tech enthusiasts/workers

  • linux users

There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?
