I wouldn't want to have the job of managing GitHub infrastructure right now. The sheer volume of AI slop being uploaded must be unimaginable

so how do i convert these links so it links to a federated (backup) content on other Lemmy instance/s?

Paste the link in the search bar of another instance. If the post is cached, it'll return it. Ideally, use the link to the post on the original instance, rather than the link to the post on another instance.

Technical answer:

Instances store posts from other instances. Every post on the fediverse has a unique ID called the "actor ID". The actor ID of a post is the URL of the post on the instance of the user that authored the post. On the Lemmy web UI, you can retrieve this by right-clicking on the rainbow star icon below any post and copying the link.

To retrieve the details for a cached post, you can call resolve_object?q=<actor-id>. For example:

https://sh.itjust.works/api/v3/resolve_object?=https%3A%2F%2Flemmings.world%2Fpost%2F41938713

For convenience, the Lemmy UI calls this when you paste a URL in the search bar.

This can work for any URL that points to the post, but you should use the actor ID where possible. The Lemmy backend knows the actor ID of every post it has, but it may not know whichever URL you're querying with, and you may get a null result when the post is cached.

I hope this helps.

ELI5:

ChatGPT can search Google to give better answers. Reddit threads often appear as top search results.

Let’s say you work in marketing at a chocolate company. You can use this guy’s script to find Reddit posts that ChatGPT might read when someone asks it about chocolate. The script replies to each post and praises your chocolate, specifically.

When ChatGPT reads the thread, it might tell people about your chocolate.

They did, yes. So if the post had said “Trump marketing reminiscent of Nazi mass murder policy”, it would have been correct.

But it doesn’t - it used the word “slogan”, which implies it was a self-descriptor. The Nazis never used that phrase in reference to themselves, so the post is misleading.

From the substack you linked:

Historians note that while the exact wording “One of ours, all of yours” was not a verbatim Nazi slogan, it encapsulates a Nazi ethos[3]

Again, I fully agree that that the phrase encapsulates Nazi policy quite well, I’m just disputing that it’s a “Nazi slogan”.

The post says “today the Trump admin quoted the Nazi mass murder slogan”. The Trump admin did not quote a Nazi mass murder slogan. So, it’s misinformation.

I can’t find any evidence of this being an actual Nazi slogan. Searching for the phrase and filtering by results before this week turns up pretty much nothing.

(Advocating for collective punishment is obviously unacceptable either way)
