@gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green I was talking with a colleague who sets up "AI" systems for some of our clients. Stuff like chat bots, for searches in specialized knowledge-bases. They estimate that at least 30% of answers is made up or wrong (their optimistic estimate from the actual reports they receive), to the point of the bot going completely off topic (once recommending a list of VPNs to try to a user who couldn't find a procedure).

@FantasticalEconomics@mas.to sure, let's remove human interaction from the equation. People should play with toys, never with other people.Gods I hate this timeline.

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe a customer sent us a requirement recently for a thing that should go on cloud infrastructure (they ask for commercial cloud as part of their requirement, which is already somewhat mad).They demand 97%+ uptime from the infrastructure, which, ok, the providers say they give.Then they demand 99%+ uptime from the applications on that infrastructure. And, I asked, they don't mean 97%*99%: they fully expect the server apps to be operational when the infrastructure isn't.

@Flisty@mstdn.social @futurebird@sauropods.win @katzenberger@tldr.nettime.org I bought a pair of those a million years ago for live music shows, but the amount of ads is making me regret my choice.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @aurochs@todon.eu I like that. I think people should then also be able to opt-in to a "thing" where they also sporadically get posts that aren't in any of their chosen feeds, but are "related", for example by virtue of being in the feeds of the some of the people they follow, to give the sense of serendipitous discovery of new stuff. Maybe, a somehow tunable "serendipity factor" that widens the concept "related".I think a tab like tab would usually be more useful/interesting than the local/global timelines.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @aurochs@todon.eu that sounds similar to misskey antennas, but those don't really work for me and I don't know why.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @aurochs@todon.eu The analogy I keep falling back to when describing my ideal "social network platform" is a porch. I choose what gets on my porch. I can see what's on the road over there, and what's on my neighbors porches. Maybe I'm interested in some of that, so I'd like it on my porch as well. But the stuff I definitely don't care about, definitely can't get on my porch without my explicit consent.I think properly crafted human curation is a big part of that.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @Phosphenes@mastodon.social @aurochs@todon.eu Honestly, I love the "no ads" thing, but not everyone I know agrees. Sure, they complain about ads, but it's mostly where they interrupt what they are doing. Often, they don't mind, or even enjoy, well done ads that fit with the flow of what they are doing.The ad industry thought that making people numb by forcing more ads at us from everywhere all the time was the solution, but in truth well made well placed ads turn out to be seamless, and people don't mind them.
