AI is a misnomer anyhow. It’s been pretty definitively proven that these machines aren’t using intelligence of any kind, just really efficient search algorithms that are designed to smash things together in a way that looks like something resembling human speech and human made art. But that is the absolute limit of their ability and their potential.

I came here to say exactly this. Like, I wasn’t perfectly sure, but I was pretty sure this was a harvestment not a spider.

Wow, his stupidity knows no bounds.

Wait, is he actually looking to get rid of Powell?

The flip side of that is that instances large and small outside of the influence of the government can do as they please and people can use other means, like VPNs, to access them.

Democrats didn’t lose 2024 because they were too nice to Transgender people. They lost because they were too nice to Liz Cheney.

This right here can’t be said enough. The problem isn’t policies that are too leftist. It’s the “liberals” that a working so hard to cozy up to conservatives. If we wanted moderate Republicans we’d vote for 'em. We want fucking leftists goddammit!!!

At least it is much more of a meritocracy.

This isn’t at all true. It has the same corruption as everywhere else. Those in power do everything they can to keep it. Why do you think Pooh Bear got himself made president for life? That wasn’t on merit, he just had enough political power to make it that way.

I love how everyone just sort of glazes over how astoundingly unpopular Steam was when it was first introduced.

They have literally been doing this with every older game they’ve ever produced. New system? New larger price to play on the new system.

IIRC the original US copyright law as written by the founders was 25 years or so. The extensions on that have all been in the last 70 years or so due to mega corps like Disney.

The problem with Musk and Dorsey is that they want the copyright laws to apply to them but no one else. “Rules for thee but not for me” mentality of the wealthy.

Thank you. The picture they chose to use is of a butter that we actually buy and had me a bit worried for a moment and you saved me a frantic internet search.

Around here it’s the first Tuesday of every month.

I had a nagging suspicion in the back of my brain it’s been forever since I’ve seen this movie. It’s “The Men Who Stare At Goats”.

I can honestly see a use case for this. But without backing it up with some form of technical understanding, I think you’re just asking for trouble.

If you are believing what those things are popping out wholesale without double-checking to see if they’re feeding you fever dreams you are an absolute fool.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single statement come out of an LLM that hasn’t had some element of daydreamy nonsense in it. Even small amounts of false information can cause a lot of damage.

What exactly is the benefit of using an LLM? Why would I bother using one at all?

You realize that the only reason Lemmy hasn’t become so enshitified is because the user base is too small for the corpos to seriously target it yet. The day Lemmy has more than a million users the army of bots will not be too far behind.

I think you just made the most compelling case ever for liberals owning guns.

Well, I can’t draw for shit so…

OMG it really does!!!

Fucking cheat code!
