That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it's the nature of life to be hazardous—it's the stuff of living.

  • Meta slammed for 'disturbing' AI profiles, including a fake Black queer mother

    Jump

  • I didn't think of it in this way, but it does sound very convincing.

    Meta would love to essentially make fake virtual influencers to get all their money and have more control.

  • Leaked Documents Show OpenAI Has a Very Clear Definition of ‘AGI’

    Jump

  • To be fair, a bubble is more of an economic thing and not necessarily tied to product/service features.

    LLMs clearly have utility, but is it enough to turn them into a profitable business line?

  • YouTube is cracking down on clickbait

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is not even really targeting clickbait, more like putting restrictions on openly malicious content.

  • YouTube traffic in Russia drops 80% as authorities try to curb access

    Jump

  • Just goes to show that russians have had (until recently) relatively easy access to independent information within a few clicks on their smartphones.

    I will also note that many reliable news organizations (BBC, DW) started their russian language YT news programs as far back as 2010. This is also true for well regarded local independent news (TV Dozdh).

  • Watching the Generative AI Hype Bubble Deflate

    Jump

  • Haha. I believe the AMD Instinct / Nvidia Datacentre GPUs aren't that great for gaming.

  • Assuming a large decline in demand for AI compute, what would be the use cases for renting out older AI compute hardware on the cloud? Where would the demand come from? Prices would also go down with a decrease in demand.

    I wonder what the process was for choosing specifically 10%. Why not 8.7%? Or 13.9%? Surely an efficiency drive would have some sort of structured/analytical approach to it?

  • Google will apparently offer “AI Mode” right on its main search page

    Jump

  • I use the “udm=14” method to remove the AI/Spam results at the beginning of search result. While it doesn't address the overall decline in search quality, I find it is a much better experience.

  • I see this as PR speak for admitting that they can't continue to achieve massive generational improvements in LLMs (let alone anything close to AGI) even with exponential increases in computing power. They are hitting a very costly brick wall.

  • Yup, Sutskever is a CEO of a LLM/AI company.

  • “The 2010s were the age of scaling, now we're back in the age of wonder and discovery once again. Everyone is looking for the next thing,” Sutskever said. “Scaling the right thing matters more now than ever.”

    The "wonder and discovery" phrasing is a dead giveaway for what's going on.

  • The GamingOnLinux Forum is shutting

    Jump

  • How does it strike again though?

    Reading over the government page for this act, it seems like common sense. I get the impression that any properly moderated forum would already be implementing such measures.

    Am I missing something.

  • I made a Firefox add-on that autoselects your last used language of your Lemmy posts and comments to automatically select it again next time.

    Jump

  • This could be my lack of knowledge of the settings, but if you have multiple languages added, you have to choose the language.

    This should honestly be part of the default WebUI.

  • Sweet Raspberry taste of success masks a missed opportunity

    Jump

  • Definitely there’s less knowledge about how computers work nowadays

    There is as much knowledge (if not much more) about computing among people in general.

    The big difference compared to the 90s (not to mention earlier) is computing is mainstream. Back then, you would likely have a home desktop and some people had work PCs. Internet was still a somewhat niche technology and internet services were crude and in limited in scope.

    These days everyone has at least a smartphone and most likely a notebook. Everything has gone digital. Even (some) government services are accessible via mobile apps.

  • Trump administration wants to go on cyber offensive against China

    Jump

  • Isn't one of the strengths of offensive cyber programs that you can leverage plausible deniability. Why in gods would you publicly state your intent to engage in such operations?

  • 7.6% of Lemmy servers are already running 0.19.8, released yesterday

    Jump

  • That's not really good a thing.

  • Total MAUs are so low. You really need solid double digit YoY growth (20-30% YoY) to have a strong trajectory in the medium term.

  • As an average OG ex-redditor, Lemmy needs to move away from it's base barebones UI to something like Photon by default, here's why.

    Jump

  • Your statement regarding monero is objectively untrue. It is far easier to use real currency. This is just objective fact.

    My intention wasn't really to argue for/against crypto. Just pointing out that for me and many others crypto integration is a no go. Take that as you will.

  • Isn't the ability to defederate a key point of having federation in the first place?

    I personally do want to see word salad from supporters of russian genocidal imperialism and or the CCP.
