A comment on EFF is leaving X. Parent comment

HN is still great but it’s in decline, I still hear about AI developments on r/LocalLlama and X sometimes weeks before they make it here if even at all.

And all the commentary here is negative, skeptical and mean. It’s like Slashdot when Apple started ascending and everyone was complaining that iPods will never catch on.

The manual unflagging pf political stories and the rampant political advocacy that encouraged has destroyed a lot of the value of HN. Inconvenient facts are downmodded, “no u” gets votes.

You haven't seen negative AI sentiments until you visit Lemmy =)

Can you recommend any particular community on Lemmy for those negative sentiments?

Just pick anything tech related and post something that's even mildly ambivalent about AI.

Unless you're curbstomping AI for being "slop", you'll get an instant deluge of downvotes.

FSM help you if you post something positive =)
