We need enough people to agree on both a vehicle and a direction.

• There are a lot of people dissatisfied with the current government(s) but don’t agree how to create change; be it through the current system, major modifications to the current system, or even more severe changes.

• There are a lot of people who don’t want wide spread poverty/suffering, but don’t agree on how that problem should be dealt with; be it through universal income, massive public projects, or wealth taxation and better competition regulations.

IMO we need a new digital/decentralized/open-source/transparent ‘social media platform’ that can replace the current easily manipulated electoral systems.

We need ideas & policies to be independently actionable from the partisan politics that afaic specifically exist to mitigate change and maintain the influence of money in policy.

Wait is that some kid IRL? Or we talking about gpt speaking as a child?

Fuuuuuuck… Imagine if chat GPT started amending its results with… “EDIT: wElL tHiS bLeW uP oVeRnIgHt… tHaNkS fOr ThE gOlD kInD ReDdiToR”

That’d be so damn annoying haha

What’s even more annoying than google populating half the first page with ads is that the links don’t even work half the time these days.

If AI art is just ripping off IRL artists than it’s safe to assume chat GPT’s training was >50% reddit & Wikipedia content.

Engage content that you enjoy and ride this out.

Right now lemmy’s growth is driven by people pre-emptively leaving reddit even though their choses mobile apps still function. We’ll probably see another influx come July.

But for now all we as a seed community can do is engage the other topics we enjoy and build communities that have substance.

Eventually people will join to engage those topics instead of grip reddits demise.
