About:

This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.
  9. No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.
  10. (Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don't make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I'm not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.
  11. No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.
  12. If the title of the post isn't an original title of the article or paper then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format "Original title: {title here}".
  13. Please be respectful to each other.

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

Should I allow linking to twitter on this community or should I keep it banned? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Some days ago I made a rule 9 which goes:

(Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don’t make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I’m not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.

From what I see you can view tweets now but you can't see comments for them etc.

Should I revert the ban or should I do the same like I did with reddit in rule 4?:

No posts linking to reddit posts.

Personally I want to keep the ban because the platform doesn't deserve traffic and is very unstable right now where we can't trust that they won't block us from viewing the tweets again. What do you think? I want to hear your opinions on the topic. I will do my final decision tomorrow.

I outright blocked twitter domain in Reddit app I used before, and that was before twitter got locked down to unregistered users. Now any twitter link would just result in "login" screen for me, making those posts useless.

If a post is so interesting that it needs to be posted, maybe just post a screenshot instead and add source as a comment.

Not anymore, now the tweets are shown but you don't see anything else besides the specific linked tweet

Oooh! It didn't cross my mind that you can just post a screenshot, hahaha. And yeah, I was thinking about making it the same way as I do with paywalled articles in rule 3:

Don’t make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.

You are not allowed to make posts with a paywalled article as the main source of information but it can be shared as a supportive link.

TBH, paywalled content leads to a lot of people who haven't read it participating in shallow and contentious conversations based around clickbaity titles. I say keep the rule of no twitter.

If there's good content on Twitter, why not allow people to share? it's always the user's choice to follow a link or not

[–] tourist@community.destinovate.com 2 points 1 year ago

It's about the same as when any other paywalled article gets posted, if the tweet text isn't in the post body then don't be surprised if people comment without reading the tweet
