  • Furious Trump is considering removing Pirro over Reflecting Pool filing, sources say

  • YouTuber Hank Green Is Facing a Fan Revolt Over His AI Use

    Jump

  • You're on Lemmy... any statements about AI, Musk, trump, McConnell, etc that aren't over-the-top against them will be met with downvotes.

  • the sales tax kills little kids in other countries

    I agree with you, shop where you have to and do what you need to do to get by... sorry it's so rough for you at the moment, but I did want to let you know that at least your sales tax money isn't killing kids in other countries because the state gets the sales tax. Hopefully that helps just a little bit.

    And, since the baby killing money comes from income tax, if you're low income hopefully you can at least rest easy knowing that you're contributing less to the baby killing machine.

    The above is all mostly tongue in cheek, I feel for you and certainly don't want to make light of a tough situation, but I'm hoping you at least got a smile out of it.

  • Finally some good news from #Signal 🥳

    Jump

  • And in the case of Telegram, if they did that why would anyone sign up for their premium account?

    I tried using Telegram and the amount of spam I would receive was annoying, but what was even more annoying was finding out that the 'Restrict messages from users not in your contacts' setting is paywalled. Telegram profits off of the spammers on their network.

  • AI companies are now destroying warehouses full of rare books

    Jump

  • So... back to my question: what should they do instead?

  • AI companies are now destroying warehouses full of rare books

    Jump

  • That's true, but sitting in a warehouse is costing someone money and I'm sure they were more than happy to sell the books even if they knew they'd eventually get destroyed.

    But the other thing is, what should these companies do instead? They scraped the internet and got skewered for that. They pirated books and got in trouble for that. Now they are legally purchasing books to scan. They can't donate or sell the books since they've effectively copied the book and that would get them into piracy trouble again.

  • AI companies are now destroying warehouses full of rare books

    Jump

  • The biggest loss is probably the fact that destroying the physical books removes them from circulation

    And these are books that have been sitting in warehouses that haven't been able to be sold because no one wanted them. They were removed from circulation long ago.

  • Apple to debut smart glasses in 2027 with focus on privacy: report

    Jump

  • I think you hit the nail with 'no camera'. Honestly, a camera isn't needed... if you want a picture, use your phone. If you want a POV image or video, use a Go Pro.

    Smart glasses should be a display only (well, maybe speakers too).

  • Professor's invisible prompt trap catches 32 students cheating on their midterm with AI

    Jump

  • It's also a reasonable number of students who would read the answer before just blindly putting it into the answer sheet.

  • Professor's invisible prompt trap catches 32 students cheating on their midterm with AI

    Jump

  • 32 out of the 35 students across two classes simply copied the question, pasted it into a chatbot, then copy and pasted its output into the answer window

    So, 3 students proofread the output and removed the offending sentences from their answer?

  • US citizen charged after GrapheneOS phone wipes during airport search

    Jump

  • So the issue is that he entered a code that wiped his data, but what is he entered a code that opened a dummy profile?

  • New Framework Desktop Option with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 and 192GB Memory (Gorgon Halo)

    Jump

  • It was a tradeoff between replaceable RAM or high throughput. For this device they felt the performance was more important than the ability to replace / upgrade RAM.

  • Trump administration reportedly builds a slow-motion ban on Chinese AI models through sanctions and soft pressure

    Jump

  • The technology isn't the problem. Believe it or not, LLMs are incredibly capable at a variety of tasks, including coding, curating news articles, writing and reading config files, system administration, note keeping / summarization / evaluation, and a whole lot more. Yes, there are a lot of things that an LLM is not good at, but just because I can't fly a helicopter doesn't mean I couldn't drive you to the airport.

    The problem isn't the technology, it's the potential for the technology to be completely owned and operated by corporations rather than people.

  • Trump administration reportedly builds a slow-motion ban on Chinese AI models through sanctions and soft pressure

    Jump

  • The Chinese models are being released as open weight models, which are what people who want to run these systems locally are using. By banning them this just means that in the US only corporate models will be available to anyone.

  • The Killdozer

    Jump

  • That was a quote from his manifesto.

  • The Killdozer

    Jump

  • most schools of morality posit that even in the most bitter business disputes, there are always non-Killdozer options

    Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.

    I wonder how long it took the town government to reject another citizen's rezoning proposal after this event?

    Jump

  • Because it's what they've always done.

    New Tennessee law requires data centers to pay for their own electricity infrastructure

    Jump

  • It means that data centers will just find a way to have themselves classified as anything except for a data center... meanwhile anyone who happens to have more than 3 computers in their homes will have to pay extra on their electric bills.
