  • Hobbyist Builds AI-Assisted Rifle Robot Using ChatGPT: "We're under attack from the front left and front right. Respond accordingly"

  • He's not just any hobbyist. He's a professional. A literal engineer according to the article.

  • Hobbyist Builds AI-Assisted Rifle Robot Using ChatGPT: "We're under attack from the front left and front right. Respond accordingly"

    Jump

  • What the article finds worrisome about this is that it is a "hobbyist in a garage" building what's essential a voice activated and commanded killing machine. They are concerned because it is not "a government lab" or similar. Nobody should be doing this, but okay.

    Are open AI and Claude insider trading?

    Jump

  • One possibility - they were trained on the same data sets and as a result return the same results because what they do is predict the most likely next word or words, statistically based on their training data.

    Possibility two - They are sharing data sets outside the public eye.

    Possibility three - Each of these LLM's is stealing from the other in real time (sending your prompt to other LlM"s and see what they report back and adding it to the list it drew up).

    Possibility four - Someone at one or both of these companies is a double agent.

    Here's a question. Did you prompt these LLM's with the same prompt multiple times? Or just one each?

  • I don't care. Just like Musk, and Trump and Zuckerberg, and Spez, I am tired of hearing about him.

  • What are devs displaced by AI going to do in the future? Is there an actual plan?

    Jump

  • Same in a lot of other industries too. This is literally how capitalism functions. This is how they reduce costs when they can't find any other way.

  • What are devs displaced by AI going to do in the future? Is there an actual plan?

    Jump

  • The plan is to rehire them back temporarily to babysit the AI and fix all the AI generated crap. Then realize it was cheaper to actually just have the devs make code. Then hire them back at a reduced rate on a more permanent basis with the understanding that they believe the code will still be partially generated by AI and cleaned up by the same people and they aren't paying top tier for third hand AI slop.

  • We made the outdoors a pay to play hellscape. Where do you want them to interact socially? This isn't directed at you despite what it says. It's directed at the part of the article you quoted.

    Edit: I also wanted to add that social media just highlights and streamlines the problems with the way people socially interact and affect each other and it does so using algorithms to re-enforce dependency. I'm certainly not saying social media isn't addictive or harmful. But that these problems are exacerbated by social media and actually exist even in a world without it, just with a much shorter reach.

  • Supreme Court leans toward upholding law that could ban TikTok

    Jump

  • It would also affect kids in general who only really get social interaction in places like video games. People seem to think video game platforms won't be affected (or don't think about them at all), but I got a lot of social interaction that way as a teen.

  • The problem with blocking is this. It's not a communally accepted part of any website. Here's what I mean by that. Lots of websites say they allow you to block people. What they mean is they allow you to mute people. This can mean something as simple as you can still see their posts but you can't interact (but they can see and interact with your posts (upvote/downvote etc), but can't talk to you. That's problematic. I feel like a block should mean block. I. E. The web host or platform completely isolated you from one another so that it appears on the user side of things as if you never existed. But that's problematic too. On Lemmy, if I block someone I lose all post history related to that section of the post where the interaction took place. I can't go back to my own comments. I cannot see my own comments.

    Then there's the problem of block or mute lists having a finite number. If you have a ten year old account somewhere and you have been muting or blocking people for all ten of those years, eventually you will run out of available space on the block list and there's no good way to purge the list. You very often can't back it up, can't auto purge accounts that are dead or no longer in use, can't even generally see if the people you blocked are still active in a way that insulates and protects you.

    If the goal is to suppress speech that implies that the person/entity doing the suppression is in a position of authority and not following the will of their constituency. So if a mod gets hundreds of reports about a post or comment, some action is warranted because the community is speaking out against it.

    That's important to what we're talking about here.

  • Physical Media Is Dead, Long Live Physical Media

    Jump

  • I don't hate it, but as someone who's had to pick up and move repeatedly it's just too much stuff. I buy digital books (would buy digital movies if buying them was actually buying them), and did buy digital music when buying it was actually buying it (back in the days of Google play music when you actually could just do whatever you wanted with the tracks you bought so long as you downloaded them).

    I think part of what people are neglecting to understand is the digital media is physically stored somewhere. It's not just out there in a cloud. It has to be maintained just like physical media does. Don't store a cassette/VHS tape properly and it won't be around for a long time. It's honestly the same with CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray. I'm sure it was the case with 8tracks and Mini discs, and so on too. When the medium through which that media is housed goes, so does the media.

    This discussion is pretty interesting to me because the only reason a lot of people seem to be against digital media is their view of how the license for it differs from the license for physical media. It's the same license but one of them gives the company licensing the media more control than the other and that's what people don't like. If companies would stop taking things people paid for from them, this wouldn't be an issue.

  • Telegram reports spike in sharing user data with law enforcement | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • No. You have to enable encryption individually. And it only works if everyone in the conversation has enabled encryption. But it is available.

  • Telegram reports spike in sharing user data with law enforcement | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • If you're using encryption you probably don't have much to worry about. The main problem is so many people don't bother to encrypt their chats and make the assumption that their chats are encrypted. Yes, I think the default should be encryption turned on. But I also think this is user error, so.

  • Telegram reports spike in sharing user data with law enforcement | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • My complaint wasn't sharing data with law enforcement. It was more about whether or not they should be moderating their platform and banning accounts that intentionally violate the policy. I don't necessarily have a problem with them sharing information with the police when it's warranted and there is a credible threat, because nobody should be using something to plan to bomb a restaurant or sports game. But the arguments that I have seen (and made) were pretty much "yeah, you shouldn't be allowed to plan to kill people on this platform with no moderation, especially when the chats aren't even encrypted".

    Even back when the CEO got arrested most of Lemmy was crying foul on that and a lot of comments I saw got downvoted for siding with the 'police state ".

  • Why hasn't a renewable energy blockchain REALLY been successful yet?

    Jump

  • But blockchain at its core is just a distributed database. One that has no central authority, can not be tampered with, cannot be altered, nor taken down if parametrized accordingly.<<

    I want you to think about the fact that there is no central authority. That means if it is attacked, nobody can lock it down and rebuff the attack. You're talking about running a piece of infrastructure using a distributed database. It's one thing to allow people who have been vetted (so no, not everyone) to feed energy from an renewable source into the grid. It's completely different to run the entire infrastructure off this idea.

    You'd have to build a second grid for the purposes of what amounts to a solar bank coop. Because there's no way the government would let you hook up to theirs free and clear.

    What you're talking about would need to be regulated. It would need to be beholden to a centralized agency or government entity (local or federal). It would need some form of monetary compensation which means it's going to be taxed in some way etc.

    That's why you can't just hook up a connection to the grid and build a solar panel. That's why you have to have a pre-existing paid connection to the grid. To protect the infrastructure you're connecting to.

    To do otherwise would provide a vector for attack to the existing power grid and the government already has enough problems with that.

  • YouTuber LegalEagle sues PayPal over 'sleeping leech' Honey extension | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Among other accusations, MegaLag said that if a YouTuber or other creator promotes a product through an affiliate link, if the viewer has installed Honey, the extension will surreptitiously substitute its own link when the viewer makes a purchase — even if Honey didn’t provide any discounts. That means Honey, not the creator, receives the affiliate revenue for the transaction.<<

  • Is it possible to design a social media app or service that rather than focuses on farming engagement, it tries to promote quality content?

    Jump

  • I would argue that the accessibility is both perhaps a statement about the quality of the site and about its users.

    That's not to say it's a bad site or platform. But to say that if your platform is invite based only and you straight up ignore new users requests (even a form response sent out by bot saying they aren't taking new signups or that the application has been reviewed and denied would be better (suggest that the team in charge of facilitating it aren't up to keeping up with the rigors of running it. Their attention is apparently elsewhere, or their system is overrun with signups and there's a significant backlog.

    So suggesting it to people who cannot access it doesn't do much good.

    Additionally if the invite strategy has shifted to users providing invites and the place is slow because of the small user base it's not likely to get many new users that way.

    The point of user-based invite is that the user vets the new signups they've invited. But the actuality is very often there's not a lot of getting involved because people will offer an invite to "people who are interested* that they don't know outside that interaction.

  • Luigi Mangione Content Is a Challenge for Social Media Moderators - B…

    Jump

  • It will continue to be a problem for moderators because of the way they moderate and the terms they outline to moderate by. They leave gray areas for things that are against the law but that they feel are perfectly ok, but not for other things that are against the law that they feel aren't. They don't provide clarity about the law in their locality, and they don't always stick to their moderation in a way that would make it the same for all users and that's the problem. Additionally they don't want to be blamed for anything or take backlash for anything so they overlimit some things and under limit others and pretend their hands are tied about both.
