How would federated authentication help with an instance sinking and having to port/rebuild a profile?

This is why having frictionless one-button migration seems really important to me. Imagine that your Lemmy client keeps a constant backup of your profile so that if and when your instance go down, you can set up shop somewhere else super easily. Or when an instance get too big, or when you feel like it, you can instance-hop super simply. This is the future I'd want. You control your profile, noone else.

I think one way to help this is to make migration from one server to another really, really, really frictionless. Like to be able to do so on a whim with very little drawback if any.

It might allow people to start off in a central thing but then be able to hop to a smaller instance once they get their Fediverse legs.

You know why. Network effects, usability, marketing, astroturfing, etc.

We need to do a better job at making the Fediverse more inviting and easier to use. Have a better, clear path for migration.

I think the problem stems from the fact that Reddit and other 'private' businesses are acting like public squares. People use these systems as public spaces in which they can build communities, relationships and ideas. It's not just a question of "well it's private so they can do whatever they want". Lawful is not the same thing as ethical. Some people on Reddit have their society on Reddit. What does Reddit owe them? It's a demand to ask 'How should Reddit and other businesses participate in society in a way that is ethical and helpful?'

I think this will change as we realize how much explicit deliberation affects the quality of the output (usually called chain of thought prompting). As the complexity of the queries grows, the more likely we'll want the AI to talk itself through the process of answering it, making it more on par with how humans tackle issues.

When you post to a community on a different instance, the post itself is still on lemmy.ca, you're basically just 'categorizing' it as being intended for the other instance's community. It's similar to asking, "if I make a Mastodon post and I @ a group on another instance, do I have to follow the post rules for my server?"

Totally, it might also come up with persuasive methods to convince the corporations to reduce their consumption-- giving them an alternate revenue source, giving them tech that makes the climate effect of consumption drastically lower, finding ways to resolve the Moloch games in satisfactory manner, etc. These are just examples. I think AI might give us an opportunity to reset some of our deep human societal dynamics, just like the Industrial Revolution did. And hopefully it can do it in a virtuous cycle manner.

Fed-ee-verse, like universe.

AI will come up with technological solutions to societal problems so effective and straightforward that it will raise the floor for everybody. Everyone will be able to be educated and empathetic to other people's realities. Rich people will have their greed channeled toward endeavours that will help all humans. We will flourish in happiness forever. We will eventually spread through the universe in a great utopian wave. We will uplift all animals, we will resurrect all beings that have ever lived and bring them into this utopia as well. Good times wil be held by all.

Exactly, cameras on the inside and a screen on the outside.

I haven't played any Metal Gear since MGS2, will I still be able to enjoy it?
