WHO is the one guy who downvotes you???

"NO! UNPROFITABLE BUSINESSES DESERVE TO THRIVE!!! MUST FEED THE BILLIONAIRES!!!"

Maybe OpenAI learned to downvote...

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 115 points 2 months ago

I've seen threads where every single comment, no matter how anodyne, has 1 downvote. Don't bother yourself over it. That way lies madness.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 52 points 2 months ago

Downvoting for the use of an uncommon word.

Edit: 10 people here didn't grow up with Mary Poppins.....

[-] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

You spelled it wrong you brick.

[-] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

You could even say his spelling is quite atrocious

[-] Mozingo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Lmao the down votes on this are really funny to me

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Just imagine baron bomburst and the child catcher furiously downvoting this comment lol

[-] teft@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

What I get a kick out of is the down and upvotes mean basically nothing and yet people still get super sensitive about them. They only move your comment up or down the thread. It's not like reddit where there is a karma count for all your posts and comments. Hell you don't even get auto hidden like the way reddit would do. You just get downvoted.

Some people downvote to show disapproval. Others downvote if the comment doesn't add to the conversation. Still others are just trolling. No one should worry about the downvotes.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

See I look at it differently.

An upvote means:

You're the coolest person that's ever lived, and I'm desperate for you to put your baby in me, even if that's not biologically possible! You should be supreme ultimate being of the universe, and all shall cherish your existence until the end of time!

And a downvote means:

You sack of shit! You human garbage! Nobody loves you. Everyone hates you. The world has a better time when you're not around, you waste of human skin! Your parents should have used a condom, and the world regrets they didn't every day. Go live under a bridge, homeless, dirty, and alone, you genetic waste of space.

Sound was quite atrocious, downvoted 👎

[-] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I think people are missing the joke here 😄

Venn diagram of Lemmy users and Mary Poppins stans barely touching.

anodyne

anodyne /ăn′ə-dīn″/ adjective

  2. Relaxing. "anodyne novels about country life."
  3. Serving to assuage pain; soothing.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

First read serving sausage pain.

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That sounds like a misusage of a very common word in French: anodin

[-] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I'd say a good 10% of English is just misusing words from other languages to be fair.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

It's also really easy to mis-swipe on a comment on some apps.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Some people also suck

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

There are some hardcore "copyright shouldn't exist" folks out there.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

The guy who wants their AI girlfriend yesterday.

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Lol how about every pirate who fundamentally opposes the copyright system?

How about everyone who uses Google and doesn't want to see it shut down for scraping copyrighted content to provide a search engine?

Seriously, explain to me what's different at a fundamental level about OpenAI scraping the web and transforming the data through an LLM and Google scraping the web and transforming the data through their algorithms (which include LLMs)?

[-] running_ragged@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago

Google (used to) scrapes the specific details authorized by robots.txt and uses it to make your content visible.

OpenAI scrapes everything it can technically see, ignoring robots.txt and feeds i to a black box and regurgitates it claiming it’s something new, that it deserves to be paid for.

Quite different actually.

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

So if OpenAI complies with Robots.txt files then there's no issue right?

Because then they're identical. Open AI spent a bunch of money building a powerful system they feed those results to, as did Google.

[-] solarvector@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago

Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people's work as just that... their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it's just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff. Pirates will not win out in this argument, except maybe in the very short term.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 7 points 2 months ago

Search engines provide source, they scrap for indexing, but your search gives a list of websites that matches that you will then likely visit. That's a big fundamental difference.

[-] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Google doesn't sell the search engine as a product.

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Yes they do, just indirectly, it's how they monopolized the online advertising business.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago
[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I'm unclear on context. Are you saying Mbin users can see who upvotes/downvotes?

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Votes aren't private on the fediverse, it's just a that some interfaces won't display them. Also, instance admins can see who voted too.

But like @Boozilla@lemmy.world said

Don’t bother yourself over it. That way lies madness.

It mainly useful for admins to detect if there is some vote manipulation going on.

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Sam Altman lurking around...

[-] rsuri@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

To steel man the downvoters, maybe there are other solutions besides killing off every business that can't afford to comply with copyright. After all, isn't the whole point of copyright to enable the capitalist exploitation of information?
