  • I’m happy with it. I’ve gotten a few temporary suspensions for saying things that I still believe I had a right to say - but that’s the thing, they’re temporary suspensions for a reason. You sit through them, seethe a little bit, and champ at the bit for the opportunity to say the same thing again but angrier.

    The only instances Lemmygrad defederates with are porn and fascist instances, which I think is fine - I’m not anti-porn, but you just make a second account for that stuff.

    The only things that I think the Lemmygrad admins have a hard time adjudicating are “Internet Leftist” boutique issues - stuff that is rarely taken seriously by actual people in the real world but weirdos on the Internet think are very important.





  • You are legally permitted to do so, but not entitled.

    What’s the difference? DRM.

    If you license a digital work, you are allowed to make copies for personal use. However, if the publisher includes features to prevent replication, you are not entitled to make a copy; in other words, publishers including DRM to prevent replication of their works is not illegal because you do not have a right to copy digital works you license, but you are allowed to do so.






  • I’m part of a coalition trying to prevent a private equity firm from buying out a local nonprofit hospital and using AI to “Improve efficiency” is one of their plans that we’ve had to study (done by people much more competent than I).

    The main thing they plan to use AI for is filling out paperwork - nurses will record their introductory interviews with patients and the AI (basically, speech recognition + knowing what fields to fill out for certain information) will automatically fill out that patient’s chart.

    I’m sure they’re planning on using AI for other purposes as well, but this is the most prevalent use - speech recognition and filling out charts automatically.
