While the 2022 migration wave bought some new users to the fediverse, it also brought a few outsiders like this who want to "colonize" it and shape it in their own "image".

Once again, a Welsh man "Jaz" who works for a British company is trying to co-opt the fediverse.

Just as posts from weeks ago might show up in my home feed, edits from weeks ago appear to be showing up in my Notifications.

There's a guy who posts 30 post threads (unfortunately, a number of instances have a small character limit) and it'd be nice if it was possible to expand / collapse threads.

"An EU citizen caught up in a Home Office backlog of applications for post-Brexit residency status has been forcibly removed from the UK.

Costa Koushiappis, 39, a Greek Cypriot, was put onboard a plane to Amsterdam with only three days’ notice. Speaking as he was being escorted on to the aircraft in Edinburgh shortly before 9am on Friday, he said he could not understand his unfolding nightmare."

That said, someone surely doesn't need a philosopher or vague concepts / roundtables to figure out that this sounds like an awfully bad idea.

Building robust and reliable systems has been an aim of the field for decades, and a system which fails inexplicably in carrying out tasks is something that surely should be ruled out.

There is also practically always a simpler way of carrying out an action which doesn't involve using a supremely over-engineered system.

Hooking an "AI" up to an external system to carry out an action on your behalf sounds like a stupid idea. By nature, "AI" are unpredictable and unreliable. They can fail in inexplicable ways. It also doesn't add that much, if any, value.

Artificial "intelligence".

I've read the actual manga for Ga-Rei and it was interesting.

Now that I think about it, I don't think Ga-Rei itself was ever adapted into an anime. There is only Ga-Rei Zero which is a prequel. It's a good anime though, would recommend.

Time loops probably come from *light novel adaptations*. In the original book, someone can just skim over the details. In the anime though, someone has to watch the entire thing.

There was also that Haruhi anime which just gave up making new episodes and just played the same episode over and over and called it a "time loop".

I'm surprised that an anime about the same day repeating over and over again has lasted for so long.

It's not open. It's not even remotely so.

Remember, call them ClosedAI instead of OpenAI.

Being "open" can also be a way for someone to bootstrap their start-up by bringing on free labor.
