    How an AI Star Wars image has backfired on Trump and the White House

    Jump

  • I wonder if they asked for red in their prompt, or if the AI did it - and if it's the AI how much the red association is with evil vs Republican.

  • The future of web development is AI. Get on or get left behind.

  • They're great for users, which is why Google and Apple are letting them die from lack of development so apps can make them money.

  • Mozilla Say Google Search Deal Vital to Firefox's Survival

    Jump

  • I agree that the executive pay is ridiculously high, but Mozilla does a lot more than fund Firefox. Off the top of my head, there's contribute to research and standards (occasionally standing up to Google and Apple), run MDN and similar sites, lobby for user-friendly regulations, fund other projects (maybe that's in the past?), and advocate without corporate bias.

    I know there's a Mozilla foundation and a Mozilla corporatilla foundation and a Mozilla corporation and I'm not clear which one does what tbh.

    From what I hear about the Firefox code base, I think the best thing we can hope for is at Firefox manages to hold on until one of the new browser engines is mature enough to take over.

  • It looks like @koraro@lemmy.world isn't around any more, so I guess it's unmoderated around here (aside from the LW admins).

  • Can't the/a bot post here where everyone's already subbed? If you give me a bit of time, I could get one written.

  • This is a great example - it kinda makes sense if you skim read it but butterflies have nothing to do with butter, just like hotdogs have nothing to do with dogs.

  • LLMs are already being used for policy making, business decisions, software creation and the like. The issue is bigger than summarisers, and "hallucinations" are a real problem when they lead to real decisions and real consequences.

    If you can't imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.

  • My friends would probably say something like "I've never heard that one, but I guess it means something like ..."

    The problem is, these LLMs don't give any indication when they're making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don't understand the limitations of things like Google's AI summary so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

    I'm not counting the little disclaimer because we've been taught to ignore smallprint from being faced with so much of it

  • I found that trying "some-nonsense-phrase meaning" won't always trigger the idiom interpretation, but you can often change it to something more saying-like.

    I also found that trying in incognito mode had better results, so perhaps it's also affected by your settings. Maybe it's regional as well, or based on your search result. And, as AI's non-deterministic, you can't expect it to always work.

  • Everyone complained about the nonsensical AI version, so now we have a sane version to share. This is a good thing.
