Re:Personal Instagram Clone: WordPress and ActivityPub

I strongly believe, that the Fediverse has so much more potential, than being a Twitter-clone for nerds. Every website can become social. With WordPress or Ghost, that is just a plugin installation. But everybody keeps telling me: "Not another platform!" This is not yet another platform. If you rethink your company website and use a CMS that is as easy an fun to update as you social media app, you can everybody without a login. Pure web! And then you connect that to the Fediverse and people can subscribe, like, share and comment! Free audience added to the website you have anyway. My website shows you, you could every reuse your Instagram images on your website and reach people who are not on your preferred closed platform.

They work very much on compatibility, as that is required by and paid for by governments.
But same applies for M365. Good look opening a docx from Microsoft Word in their web app.

Re:Google's best Gemini demo was faked

Everything they say is advertisement. But they show a minutes long video of a conversation with gemini that isn't near possible.
That is almost like claiming you can fly warp speed and then it's just a visual effect.

1. Hunans may also never be 100% - but it seems they are more often correct.
2. When AI is wrong it's often not only slighty off, but completely off the rails.
3. Humans often tell you when they are not sure. Even if it's only their tone. AI is always 100% convinced it's correct.

Mastodon isn't for everybody just like Twitter never was for everybody. Millions of users joined Twitter and silently left, because they didn't know what to make of it.
But the Fediverse could certainly offer services that fit the needs of the sciences. Wordpress can be connected to the Fediverse. There are other, more long form services.

That is also because they pretend like their text generators are anything more than autocomplete 2
0.
They say that it is "artificial intelligence" - it is their company brain that intelligently answers questions.
If they just called it text generator, it would be up to the user to male things off the generated texts.
