    100+ Meta employees, including Head of AI Policy, confirmed as ex-IDF

  • Meta’s AI policy chief who voluntarily enlisted for the IDF in 2009 under a program which enables non-Israeli Jews who aren’t eligible for military conscription to join the Israeli army.

  • Jack black has been a negative selling point in movies since that first slop Jumanji remake. He’s just as bad as the Rock or Ryan Reynolds. Business and profits over creating anything of substance or artistic value.

    Something tells me you're not the target demo for Jack Black movies.

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

  • NFTs also have legitimate uses. The problem is people treat them like an investment instead of, y'know, a token.

  • I've been in buildings overlooking roads with trucks.

    And to think, all those trucks squandered a perfect opportunity to advertise to you!

  • I hate these new lights on cars so so much, instant flash bangs.

  • The existing regulations for headlights are actually quite sufficient, and already cover some of those concerns. The problem is that there's no enforcement of the regulations.

  • For what it's worth, the screen durability has gotten a lot better with recent phones. Some of the early models were way too easily damaged, but the current ones can withstand being treated like a normal phone.

    That said, I still won't buy one until the price comes down. I think it's cool tech and I wouldn't mind having it, but it's nothing I need, especially not for the current prices.

    Great ATProto blog post on the reasoning behind their design architecture

    Jump

  • The "Fediverse" (capital F) refers to the social media platforms utilizing ActivityPub, specifically. I don't believe there's any agreed-upon name for such a network on ATProto, since Bluesky is the only platform actively using it.

  • TIL labyrinths and mazes aren't the same. Labyrinths have a single path. Mazes have branching paths

    Jump

  • I've heard this before, but I never understood how people find this easier. It's still the exact same maze, you just swap the "start" and "goal" labels.

  • GenAI website goes dark after explicit fakes exposed

    Jump

  • Just for what it's worth, you don't need CSAM in the training material for a generative AI to produce CSAM. The models know what children look like, and what naked adults look like, so they can readily extrapolate from there.

    The fact that you don't need to actually supply any real CSAM to the training material is the reasoning being offered for supporting AI CSAM. It's gross, but it's also hard to argue with. We allow for all types of illegal subjects to be presented in porn; incest, rape, murder, etc. While most mainstream sites won't allow those types of material, none of them are technically outlawed - partly because of freedom of speech and artistic expression and yadda yadda, but also partly because it all comes with the understanding that it's a fake, made-for-film production and that nobody involved had their consent violated, so it's okay because none of it was actually rape, incest, or murder. And if AI CSAM can be made without actually violating the consent of any real people, then what makes it different?

    I don't know how I feel about it, myself. The idea of "ethically-sourced" CSAM doesn't exactly sit right with me, but if it's possible to make it in a truly victimless manner, then I find it hard to argue outright banning something just because I don't like it.

  • Wake up babe, new cat color just dropped.

  • TIL you can ask Google to blur your house out on Google Maps

    Jump

  • Food delivery scammers will often do this and blur out their whole street. That way, when they report to their Uber Eats that they never got their order, the support team can't compare the driver's delivery photo to anything and will usually refund the meal because of it.

  • The fediverse has a bullying problem

    Jump

  • This is my thought on it, too. I don't disagree with any of the point OP is making, but I think a larger issue is people misusing ActivityPub platforms and trying to make them into something they're not. It's not meant to be a messenger, it's not meant for privacy. Everything being public and transparent is part of the core design of the Fediverse. The idea of private groups/posts on the Fediverse seems counterintuitive to me.
