Idk if its the best, its rather slow unless you have good video card. I'm sure with the right prompt and right hardware it could be a tool in a moderators toolset (turn it on when sleeping or something?).

There is a project LemmyWebhook I found (https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmyWebhook) I was thinking of using it, then LemmyNanny would be able to see new content in real time instead of using a built in Lemmy feed. This would completely change the architecture and I think raise the barrier to entry (right now anyone can run it, but if you needed to install LemmyWebhook it'd require more technical skillset)

Yea they're coming fer our jerbs!

In all seriousness AI scares me for what it can do to society but at the same time "If you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles" - Sun Tzu

Yea that's fair, ai is a tough pill to swallow. The bot is using Lemmy data but no ai generated content goes back to Lemmy (unless I have it set to report, then it submits a report to mods). If my Lemmy instance gains traction in my community I might have it run locally, but can't have that option if the tooling doesn't exist

This one was surprising in that it sort of broke the prompt to be a bit more heartfelt.

And yea, there's user configurable prompt in settings but hardcoded at the end of the prompt is to start with "Yes" (to report) or "No". There are tools which ollama can use, but I just wanted to use the models I wanted to, even if tool usage isn't part of it

Yea I agree this is experimental, it's not meant to replace anyone but I've been using it to sort of "browse" Lemmy. If moderators or admins want to use it to moderate a community or instance then that's great, but if not it was just like 3 weekends of playing around. I had fun, and if it dies like the rest of my pet projects that's fine too.

 

Hi Lemmy,

I've created a bot that I envision helping the Lemmy community, although admittedly it might be a problem that doesn't need solving. Big social media platforms like Meta have buildings of people moderating content, it can be a very labourous and arduous task to keep internet content safe. I've not really seen anything on Lemmy that is offensive, so I think the moderation is pretty good (or you peeps in the community being great). If content was questionable, then this AI bot, LemmyNanny, could be a good start at adding an robot eyes to moderation.

About https://lemmynanny.ca/

While creating this bot I felt like it was producing some interesting responses. As LemmyNanny ran on my tablet, the console output kept my attention as I wanted to see what the AI was processing next, what it was seeing and what it was thinking. I'm a web dev by trade, so I extended LemmyNanny to have some webhooks to push elsewhere (could be good for logging if actually used as it was envisioned).

But yea, it's just a few weeks of me musing and hacking together something for the community. Hopefully you find it novel if nothing else, maybe make a drinking game from it 🤷‍♂️.

EDIT: LemmyNanny parsed this post and figured I'd include it in. It seems to approve of itself.

It’s paywalled for me so can’t see this all. But does this mean signal, rcs and other encrypted messages are being logged? Kind of defeats the purpose of privacy based use cases if so

Its a bit before my time, rhanks for sharing! Seems like the old addage "a sucker is born every minute" is alive and flourishing. People are arguing Libs vs Cons when its basically a few levers they can pull while the unseen arm of capitalism moves along. all the politicians and their cronies seem to take the lions share whike we squabble... Media should be more accountable and tell us rubes when we're being bamboozled

Giving it only to the poor, it is a charity intended to help people who are unable to support themselves.

It's also close to what we have now. If we start picking and choosing it just comes back to the current system. Wealth needs redistribution of massive orders to have an equitable society. Isn't it wild that MSFT is one of the richest companies because they ripped off Xerox in the 80s? They're not Canadian, but bad actors are rewarded far too frequently under our current system.

So let's also remove all tax deductions too, maybe carve out a system we find neccessary for society but take the tax off applied at purchase. If we feel they are needed so the product is cheaper from the consumer (ie. pharmacy drugs, textbooks, tuition, etc.), maybe even put the burden on the seller to collect the taxes at the end of the tax period. If they sell 100 textbooks at $200, and we give them to the students at like $180, then maybe the seller can recoup the difference quarterly during their tax time. This would make doing taxes easier for consumer, easier to audit for CRA as instead of potentially everyone having textbooks and having to validate you just need to make sure textbook sellers are claiming the textbook rebates.

To go even further (which I think could be necessary with rich people getting play money under UBI, or they'd squirrel it away), be done with church tax-exempt status, non-profits, donations, investment losses as reducing tax burden, otherwise it's very easy to screw the system. If you feel strongly for a non-profit, then donate! I wouldn't discourage that. But the tingly feeling you get in your heart should be it's own reward, we shouldn't have had a financial incentive. It makes the whole thing perverse IMO.
