Of course! Next step, guns, military use, pew pew lasers etc. I want to see those "dogs" loaded with a kit, hunting and destroying each other.

Sure, but it wasn't really possible to code the stuff they wanted to at that time.

Does our brain follow manually coded instructions?

You probably had no idea the field even exists two years ago

MFW was using it ten years ago.

"AI" has existed since the 70s in terms of computing. In terms of the theory, much further back.

Nope. After 2010s proved that the internet is the central location for political battles with Wikipedia Blackouts causing major political shifts, Pandoras Box has been opened.

The internet is now the premier location for propaganda and politicalization.

This is only true if people feed the monster.

Gen AI writes posts that can use specific dialects, that you would never be certain/realise. Hence the whole people-thinking-it's-the-thoughts-of-a-real-person-and-peer-pressure manipulation aspect.

If Gen AI algorithms are having difficulty with it also being used as training data due to the large amounts of it around, you can bet that you've read at least a few posts / comments each day written by gen AI.

I think you're missing the point of the post. Or maybe the personal insult is the action of a bot to encourage other personal insults against me as a form of manipulation of others to build a group against me?

 

The longer you are on lemmy, the more you can step back and see the ebb and flow of manipulative posts in and out of circulation to create rifts between people and create short-lived topics of ‘conversation’ to busy the people here. The general anti-capitalism direction is pandered to singing the tune people think they want to hear and is no different I’m sure to the many bot posts aimed at facebook users to play the tune they also want to hear to manipulate, and get them to come back.

I’m sure facebook, twitter, and the other shitty social sites are far worse but for over a decade, a deep level of warfare has been fought online via manipulation and disinformation and young people are far too easily manipulated by a post because well, obviously a real person wrote it, right? Right? There’s even a picture of their face and everything!

So, I’d like to ask lemmy users to be particularly on guard, both here and any other site they visit with ‘user’ postings on in the future, and to perhaps step back, stop visiting sites, posts, forums, etc outside of your hobbies, and ignore it all. That’s the only way to be immune to the noise and to lead a better life. Whatever that direction is for you. Also, help your friends ignore the noise and help them focus on visiting information about just their hobbies.

Early internet was just information about hobbies and for the betterment of people and furthering knowledge. Let’s take that back.

 

I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message "hi " could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

 

Presumably Trump is attacking projects that enhance privacy along with other open source projects. How does this realistically affect the future and security of open source projects?

 

So sorta semi-TIL post. For men, smoking cigarettes causes epigenetic changes which means (as I understand it) that the DNA damage caused by smoking is passed on to their children. The male sperm is damaged from the effects of smoking. There is a 'significant' chance of it causing "developmental disorders" which includes autism, ADHD and intellectual disability.

Honestly, search for the articles yourself, there are many and it's an interesting rabbit hole. I do question how long this has been known to the cigarette companies who conduct their own research.

The UK has banned smoking cigarettes for under 16s for a reason. Making such a huge policy change like that must be for a very damaging reason. NZ did too, but pussied out - presumably from the lobbying.

So I just wanted to touch base and ask who has a father who smokes / used to smoke regardless of whether you've been officially diagnosed or think you may be autistic?

EDIT: I actually expected lots of downvotes for this post. There's a great film called "Thank you for smoking" which everyone should watch.

I remember some time ago installing an app that allowed me to film in the background whilst having another app open on top. I believe this was from f-droid. I actually have a legitimate use for this.

Could someone please suggest its name if they know, either from f-droid or a decent (trustworthy) app from the play store please.

So Ayumu is a chimp, child of Ai and they participate in the Ai project. There are several mother / child pairs that have been studied for short-term memory ability.

https://youtu.be/JkNV0rSndJ0

I'm sure lots have already seen the video of ayumu being presented with numbers in random places around a screen and then being able to press where the numbers were in sequence at blazing speeds and did it better than the mother.

But Ayumu also did it better than all the other chimps and when compared to humans, humans did the task better to the chimps, but Ayumu's speed is outstanding and they don't know why.

So, here's a hot take, could Ayumu just be autistic, and excel at such tasks?

 

It can remember specific, targeted things about you that perhaps tracking from cookies couldn't easily detect from you. I think the free AIs will exploit everything you type into it and deliver specific targeted advertisements for products instead perhaps of giving longer, more useful explanations.

Around the time / maybe just before OpenAI wanted to become a profit-driven company, it implemented memory, obviously for a specific reason!

Thoughts?

 

With the country getting hotter, the ground underneath most houses in London will be drying out and becoming softer due to clay soil shrink-swell, leading to a massive increase in insurance claims for subsidence.

No one will want to buy a house with known subsidence because insurance normally only covers repairs for subsidence if it wasn't mentioned in the original survey report.

This is going to mean a huge reduction in houses prices all around London as they try to offload their houses that will need remedial action undertaking to prevent damage to the house.

This page shows a map of how London is going to be affected.

Most susceptible are properties in the highly-populated London areas, particularly in northern and central London boroughs, and Kent in the South East. Projections suggest that the number of properties in London likely to be affected by climate will rise from 20 per cent in 1990, to 43 per cent by 2030, and almost 3 times 1990 values (57 per cent) by 2070.

It's a shame when specific channels die that sh/would do well. So, let's start posting again in /c/symfony and get some activity going again!

 

Pulling the laptop apart was uneventful without anything flying across the room or those fiddly small connectors - which I can barely see - snapping, removing and slapping in the new GPU was just six screws and a bit of thermal paste, and when it was all screwed back together, I didn’t even have any screws left over. Switching on and debian detected it happily, nvidia-smi and nvidia-detect were happy, and apt just installed the nvidia-driver without fuss.

Other than a loud snapping noise now made when the laptop is closed and hooks into the catch thing (perhaps it should always have been like this), it was quite dull and boring really.

 

I haven't kept up with all the news about this, so is there a definitive yes or no answer that Mozilla sells or even shares user information with partners such as Google? Google is paying Mozilla for something.
