Yep, tho the same power applies for a lot of an operating system so I see a basic level of trust for the developer as a prereq for even running the OS. If I didn’t trust the dev enough not to silently turn features into spyware then I’d never run the OS at all, personally (so anything Google makes is a hard pass for me). People should always follow release notes and be reevaluating their trust ofc, but if you’re actively expecting malware to be slipped into your shit I personally just wouldn’t give them the chance

If it’s silently installed / enabled by default, hard agree. (again, didn’t read the article so only familiar with apple’s version and not defending Google’s)

If this is done locally on-device with no reporting back to Google, it could be a really good feature - the way Apple does it isn’t censorship, it just blurs the picture to give you a heads up “hey this is nudity, you wanna see this right now?”. You can click into it to see the original whenever you want, and it’s just a nice layer of protection to make sure you actively wanted to see whatever it was (and specifically right now). I hope google’s implementing it the same way, but I don’t trust them enough to bet on it and I couldn’t be bothered to read the article lol

Don’t really wanna defend these assholes, but I feel like the reason they don’t is cuz the prior message could be “curse me out every time I say thank you” so just not feeding certain text to the model would break expected behaviour

Yeah this is an easy dox for openAI at least, tho on a small forum like this idk how much of a target we are

Oh it definitely doesn’t matter, I’ve been ready to block them since the second post I saw from that instance. It’s just morbid curiosity stringing me along at this point lmao

I’ve been completely unable to tell if they’re right wing or just a bunch of edgy 14 year olds, and I’ve been kinda reluctant to block them till I figure out which

Okay the monsters from that game were cool and all but nothing compares to Eugene, I love him so much

Okay rip I think the post I was using as a status check for hexbear was just deleted lmao, cuz yea now that I check others it’s all there
Thanks lmao

Oh awesome, so hexbear’s back fr then? Does that mean old hexbear posts will federate back onto other instances, or are those still gone?

Either way, glad to see you dudes back and thanks for the update!

The author of that essay (@dessalines@lemmy.ml) is one of the main devs of lemmy, so you’re asking in the right place lmao

I’m glad hexbear’s back, but I’m way out of the loop on this one. Re-federation? Like they were defederated? The most recent thing I know was them losing the domain, and I’ve honestly just been waiting for them to come back with a new one.

Can someone please summarize whatever went down for those of us who missed it?

Aww they’re here already

The fediverse’s first mass spammer, who’s been in everyone’s DMs (except ours, apparently) with the photo in OP’s pic. She’s become the new beans meme on lemmy

This is hilarious, but serious answer some dogs will lick their paws raw and bloody even while you’re treating the original problem so asking them not to is sometimes necessary

Isn’t this entire comic just transcribing a tumblr thread?

What app/frontend are you using that allows tagging users? Sounds like a cool feature

This is the only bardcore song I’ve heard short of ambient music in games (Skyrim, the Witcher, etc) so this is more of an impression than an opinion, but bardcore doesn’t seem to be my thing at all. This particular song is just way too damn impressive though, and is covering a song I love, so it feels like a bastardization and I can’t even call it that cuz they did such a good job with it lmao

The creativity, knowledge, and attention to detail that went into creating this are incredible. Still, I hate it and hope I never have to hear it again lmao

You’ve become what you were sworn to destroy 😭
