I’d have no problem if someone did me, for the record. Seems only incrementally different from mental imagery or writing a fanfic.

At this point I’m clearly in a minority, though.

These are all Eastern European software developers, per the article.

Pretty much.

Well, that’s too far in the other direction. Zero is a very small number, and Derek Chauvin is in jail.

I think we all know the practice of that is a little hit-and-miss.

If it was identifying Lemmy users, it definitely would be. But, it’s a tool that reveals identities of a small, supposedly accountable group during real-life interactions, and we’re just mentioning it, so it seems like there’s at least an argument to allow it.

Oh how the tables have turned, lol.

Lol, isn’t that symbolic.

Yes, it’s probably good to note, although in this context it sounded like you were giving a reason government help would be pointless.

Have an upvote, friend.

Yeah, some of them need assisted living as well. Not all of them, though, and there’s a lot of food insecurity among the housed as well.

We are not allowed to simply give it out to anyone. This is not like a church pantry where all of the food is donated by the community and’s parishioners. There is government funding, as well as private businesses, which I am guessing get their money back from the government for funding this. If we could simply give it to anyone we would not be in this situation.

Yep. That’s really dumb. When people talk about government inefficiency, this is what they mean.

Is there any chance you have enough (wo)manpower to prepare and preserve it? Even watermelon can be pickled, dehydrated or made into a jam.

It’s not how AIs specifically work. They’re pretty brain-like, and learn through their experiences during the training process. (Which is also why they’re so hard to consistently control)

It’s possible they still might be able to learn this spelling fact from some bit of their training data, somehow, but they’re at an immense disadvantage.

It was always a kind of unfair test, when you consider words are rendered down to a token before the thing ever sees them.

I mean, the industry itself was onboard with regulation this time. At least some of it.

It didn’t happen in the US because the US is basically in terminal gridlock at this point. The EU passed something.

Ah yes. Someone made a GPT version of it that was much more fluent, too.

Unless you remember pre-LLM chatbots you don’t know how far we’ve come. The first time I played with GPT2 I knew everything was going to change.

This seems like a golden opportunity to fuck with him in subtle ways. How many girls things can you disguise?

I worry a day will come that it’s all of them.

Does common sense no longer exist?

Yes. A government that’s out to get you is pretty much outside Western living memory, and now people seem to think that their rights are a law of physics.

I wonder what the conversation about digital privacy is like in former East Germany.

Look at the Luigi situation. Police tipped accidentally that they have advanced AI they’ve been using for a decade that we didn’t even know about.

Except that’s not what did it, and I suspect any such thing is shitty corporate bloatware. In the end, distinctive eyebrows and a good-old-fashioned snitch did him in. He wasn’t anywhere close to the radar before that.

Privacy defeatism was already fully going in the days of MySpace. That should tell you a bit about how empirical it ever was.

Mostly the latter. Name a private thing, any private thing. most people will punch it into GoogleMetaX without skipping a beat.
