  • I think it doesn’t have the same problem a challenger to other social media sites would have.

    A Facebook killer has to contend with everyone’s friends already being on Facebook, same for Twitter, Instagram, and so on. This problem is probably why threads links to your Instagram account, to try and convince users that their friends are all technically already on the site!

    With reddit though? Nobody’s on Reddit because of who they know, in fact people discovering each other’s handles will sometimes lead to frantic account deletions and reinstallations.

    For this reason, I think Lemmy will do much better than other killer sites, however, it’s probably still not going to surpass Reddit by a longshot, mainly because while nobody cares about their friends already being on Reddit, they will care about not wanting to go through the bother of creating a whole new account and navigating how the fediverse system works for a maybe better version of what they’re already getting.

    Reddit’s overall quality would have to drop into the damned abyss to cause enough of a mass exodus for a competitor to take it out for good.

    Yes but its the best “in English please” explanation I can come up with.

    Otherwise we’re going to have to start talking about the non-zero odds a beautiful woman is going to materialize and accept the second ice cream cone and nobody has the time for that outside of a laboratory or lecture hall.

    Someone still has to know how to query the AI for it to spit out the code that actually does what we want it to.

    The only way current AI models would gain the abilities you described in any practical sense is if they joined forces with the neuroscientists to invent a brain implant that would allow a human brain to exploit the advantages of human intelligence and artificial intelligence models while shoring up the weaknesses of both.

    Ok so a wave is the physical expression of energy transferring through a medium

    Ocean waves are kinetic energy transferring from water molecule to water molecule, sound is high frequency waves moving through a transmissible medium in a way we can perceive as noise, etcetera.

    “Light is a wave and a particle” refers to the fact that since photons travel in a probability wave until perceived, they are capable of being their own medium for electromagnetic energy.

    This is why light can travel in a vacuum where other wave based phenomenon cannot, light comes with its own medium to travel through the void with.
