Is there a way to protect data/user contents in Lemmy/Mastodon against now rapidly rising AI s?

Though Lemmy and Mastodon are public sites, and their structures are open-source I guess? (I'm not a programmer/coder), can they really dodge the ability of AI s to collect/track any data everytime they search everywhere on Internet?

Afghanistan: Taliban burn musical instruments
  • Few months ago on another platform, I watched a video that same shitty kind of people who must be absolutely extinct at same situation just destroyed a vintage intricate musical instrument (very much heirloom—accordion/keyboard?) as if they were proudly doing right; as if it was how they, humans, are supposed to live (life without music TF to them).

    Just as I said long ago (I deleted it as I left the platform),

    I dare, and I will never ever be born and live in an unmelodious and inharmonious world that they're desperately creating (through their absurd malevolent passionate principles), an invibrant and soulless world that nobody who's gratefully listened and forever enjoyed music and other wonderful things will never ever wish.

    Another shitty propaganda cause they know instinctively how great does music affect everyone's minds to realize wider and better and never worse I believe. Annihilating music is as same as burning the books and suppressing any media.

  • I (@lemmy.world) am just trying (barely) to interact with Mastodon instances (posts and comments)

    @lemmy.world website,

    1. I can see Mastodon user's profile but no posts and comments displayed.
    2. Yet, Mastodon users can comment/reply to Lemmy posts and comments.

    @mastodon.social website,

    1. Some of my (@lemmy.world) posts & comments in a profile at mastodon.social don't appear.

    I just hope I can finally "converse" with Mastodon users and other users from "non-Lemmy" instances such as misskey, calckey and others (of course function of ActivityHub and dream goal of Fediverse).

    The desire to have a romantic partner is associated with lower life satisfaction, but more so in older adults
    www.psypost.org The desire to have a romantic partner is associated with lower life satisfaction, but more so in older adults

    A study published in Personal Relationships found that among single individuals aged 18 to 75, those who had a stronger desire for a romantic partner generally reported lower life satisfaction. Interestingly, this association was more pronounced in individuals above the age of 49 compared to those b...

    Insight: is it realistic to anyone in observed real life that people more desire to find a romantic partner as they less/really don't enjoy life overall? So, will a person be prone to chasing a lovelife when he doesn't live well and happily?

    Furthermore, Unsatisfied life has a negative effect to relationship building and further even marriage and family too (I've read articles and heard memoirs and watched entertainment variously many times, and so I agree. Maybe with diligence, I'll put such article references asap.) So how could a person achieve/suceed lovelife if he's already (in the beginning) unsatisfied with every other aspect of his life wholly while his any latter relationship may apparently fail upon his unsatisfied life? A contradiction or paradox? He might end up into hopeless romantic or just pathetically miserable man/spouse (hopefully not).

    Out of topic: I wish there were a (sister) community of meirl, a discussion and seriousness of focusing and analyzing the real life (opposite of meirl community sharing of memes, pics and short texts).

    Is this hindrance for lemmies to post and watch particularly media and embedded videos (I have not yet seen) because of the not enough (storage) capacity of the lemmy instances/servers?

    Every time I see a video on other platforms, I may share this on Lemmy. Or every time I get creative to shoot a footage or create a video, I may share too. But, I reached conscientious about the availability and capacity of Lemmy instance(servers) to multimedias and videos, whether uploaded or embedded.

    One of the reasons I get hooked on platforms is instantly displayed videos or interactives that also make me started to comment and discuss along those videos. Maybe this Lemmy be focusing first on being a news-link aggregator, text-to-text forum and pic ranking.

    Or this hindrance I am wondering of is just insignificant (for now)?

    Silly Question: How to know if a text is AI-generated?

    As a user asked many times confused into pissed once into funnily ignored every time if mine were AI-generated or if I were a bot:

    1.) How will ever I know if a post or a comment I read is not made by a human user?

    2.) What will I do as a response to the text if found AI-generated?

    3.) And then how will I be supposed to write a comment like what a human user does and when will it look like sus(picious) as AI-generated text? thanks for comments, from a bot—just kidding.

    Aside from having ridiculing my post, for a wanted seriousness, is it really possible to successfully identify that a user I will ever interact with is an AI bot? (Honestly that's scary as it's already.)

    Admin/Editor's Choice Feed

    Instead of categorized instances (where communities are related to each other's interests) (but I have seen people who don't like the idea stil it's ok), I have another idea of an "Admin's Choice/regional/neighborhood" feed aside from my "subscribed", "local" and "all".

    An "admin's choice" feed is where admins of an instance can promote approved posts/communities outside their governing instance upon their interests/preference, as an addition to the local feed, but it does not include all other posts/communities not in theirs. For better clarification:

    "Subscribed": Communities/Posts (whether within or outside home instance) that I subscribe.

    "Local": Communities/Posts that the home instance has.

    "Admin's Choice": Communities/Posts that the home instance has + the outside communities/posts that the admins want to include.

    "All": All Communities/Posts (whatever federated instances have, whether within or beyond the homes's preference) as long as the home instance connects to.

    I realize when I browse other instance through their URL literally, every instance has own somewhat taste/personality of communities and posts done by the users joined in the instance. That's why I pop another idea.

    Buts:

    Q1: "Why not subscribe to the community?"

    A1: If I subscribed a very specific community just for a single and immediate post or event, my "subscribed" feed will provide also other unnecessary and complicated (somewhat critical analysis) posts from that community, which I will never look up to. I just want posts of my particular interest in case of somewhat significance.

    a1: For an example: I'm a (assuming) music lover, I just want to hear about a music artist concerts but I don't want to hear moreover about other analysis/extra gossips about the music artist as I just wondering going his concert just to listen and jam.

    Q2:... My brain's timed up. I can't think anymore contras further, so anyways. My bad if many.

    Very sorry for not enough understood (and may never mind this idea of mine) as I hardly describe what I really mean from my mind to suggest.

    May the odd votes be in your favor.

    Dystopian Reddit runs on fake content (must read)
  • It becomes an already apparent reminder: Beware of what you see on the Internet (as if beware of who you meet and what you hear from them)—Never just trust ahead (but don't be afraid already to ever encounter because there are efficient and convenient ways to outwit and bust those malbots as I believe we humans can think, debunk and dissect info to truth.)

    But sadly to some degree, real online people have scarily begun intentionally/mischievously asking other real online people whether if the others' texts are AI-generated or not, without even comprehending first what every of those texts is aiming (maybe, they are not actually well edified to media literacy or reading contexts deeply.)

    I've experienced that someone rushed questioned my comment if it were AI-generated or not (instead of why I said or even what was my straight-out point) that made me confused into pissed to badly confront once (and never again) as I have no idea how I could better respond and then prove (Even I told the truth that I made my comment all myself straight from my core & concern despite my vibrant embarrassing writing, I bet nothing would ever change as people would always still doubt upon the permanent question, and I should better end up in silence next time ever if no better options yet.)

  • Advent of AI is the Start of "Real and Cultural" Information/Digital Age

    I know the Internet, apps (softwares), smartphones (computers) and even CDs+HDDs+SSDs+any other mass storage devices has profoundly impacted human lifestyle, economics, culture and mindset(mostly by the social media/Internet as the current media of knowledge).

    But AI only and first has now finally pushed a fact that information (data, databases & knowledge & even education & learning where human being can obtain and derive info through) is indispensable in an apparent economic, especially for opportunities and profitability, just like how internal combustion (IC) engines in cars, ships, trains, airplanes and any other transports (eased traveling, promoted suburbanization, boomed real estates, flourished cargo shipping, trended engineering degrees/programs and so much more) have made gas (& fuels/hydrocarbons) matter (as profit).

    This AI coming will affect what we value, what humans are supposed to do (cause probably AI will just suddenly enter into every industry even creativity), what humans view (both macroscopically and existentially cause humans/we will live and deal with AI, our communities/systems will economically rely on AI, we or especially misfortunate people will alleviate, especially victims will survive, especially innocent people will protect, typically everyone will interact/become under AI dominance/governance or powerful ones governing AI).

    Maybe that is why big tech companies on news are focusing on data computing and marketing strategies for audience/user engagement, while databases has already had a value(future money).

    I have a daunting blurry conspiracy that something will happen to education (not only about schools but also teaching & contents) where humans learn to become whom they'll be, who will do what they've known, who will make happenings/changes.

    My (Stupid) Ideas (cause I have no idea)

    Disclaimer: I'm no IT expert/man. I'm just wondering what structure these instances should be.

    Because as a new user:

    1. Communites catalog is messy: Redundant communities, Difficult to search for communities and tags and posts, No verifying way if a community does exist or not.
    2. I have still no idea to the idea (just one account could travel in any instances/servers). But I have a Mastodon, Lemmy and Kbin account [EDIT] and now Squabbles account [/EDIT].
    3. What if all other creators/mods establish communities/instances/forums in a same majority website (so might become Reddit Copycat eventually funnily, the essence of "Fediverse" left the chat---seems doesn't work at all).

    So I ended up wondering ideas, just sharing, might help. May call me stupid of these already in advance, of course I have 0 IT knowledge.

    BTW, why is the image of my post "stored" in archive.org anyway? Could I see the image in archive.org? (cause I know archive.org where I borrow tons of books.)
