walrusintraining,

What specific issues are you having? It seems unlikely that spyware would be bluetooth related. If you really think that, are there any cheap “smart products” you have that connect to wifi?

The optical illusion with mirrors is really cool and creative an accurate detail from Luke’s landspeeder in A New Hope.

walrusintraining,

Didn’t know that! TIL thx

walrusintraining,

That seems a little overkill, especially since it’s a feature I doubt very many people would use. Just having it separate for each account would be sufficient, require less processing power and battery, and less time to code.

Higher point of impact makes SUV crashes more dangerous for cyclists (www.iihs.org)

Ground-impact injuries — a frequent cause of head injuries — were more than twice as common in SUV crashes than those involving cars, the study showed. The findings follow earlier IIHS research that showed SUVs are more lethal than cars to pedestrians despite design changes that have made them less dangerous to other...

walrusintraining,

I’d love it if cars in the US got smaller again. People everywhere else in the world get by ok without having a pickup the size of a semi truck. Don’t know why it’s so accepted in the US.

walrusintraining,

I get that but imo anybody who drives a big truck or suv should be shunned by society.

walrusintraining,

It can be changed. If it had no/higher limit, the slider would move in greater increments, so less fine control.

walrusintraining,

They probably trained it using data from their Coca-Cola freestyle dispensers if you’ve used one. That’s my guess.

Lemmy hot sort

Why is the lemmy hot sort seemingly so bad? After the first couple of posts it turns into new posts with no votes, sometimes the same new post multiple times back to back to different communities, and sometimes posts with negative points. I came across a series of posts today with 1 upvote (poster) and 6 downvotes. I don’t get...

walrusintraining,

The issue with this is I also want to be able to see smaller posts that are gaining traction. I wouldn’t mind posts with 2 or 3 upvotes (votes from users other than the poster), but new posts with no upvotes should not be considered hot, and especially not posts with negative points.

walrusintraining,

What is this trying to say???

walrusintraining,

This makes the most sense to me so far

walrusintraining,

You don’t have to understand how an atomic bomb works to know it’s dangerous

walrusintraining,

I’m confused how this is relevant. Just pointing out this is a bad take, not saying nukes are the same as AI. chatGPT isn’t the only AI out there btw. For example NYC just allowed the police to use AI to profile potential criminals… you think that’s a good thing?

walrusintraining,

That’s a good point, however just because the bad thing hasn’t happened yet, doesn’t mean it wont. Everything has pros and cons, it’s a matter of whether or not the pros outweigh the cons.

walrusintraining,

I don’t need to know the ins and outs of how the nazi regime operated to know it was bad for humanity. I don’t need to know how a vaccine works to know it’s probably good for me to get. I don’t need to know the ins and outs of personal data collection and exploitation to know it’s probably not good for society. There are lots of examples.

walrusintraining,

I don’t disagree that people are stupid, but the majority of people got/supported the vaccine. Majority is sometimes a good indicator, that’s how democracy works. Again, it’s not perfect, but it’s not useless either.

walrusintraining,

What companies have decided to call AI is not at all the same as what AI used to refer to and what science fiction stories refer to.

walrusintraining,

Yeah sure “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” is an outrageous take.

walrusintraining,

Are you familiar with juries?

walrusintraining,

I don’t think most people think ai is sentient. In my experience the people that think that are the ones who think they’re the most educated saying stuff like “neural networks are basically the same as a human brain.”

walrusintraining,

There are a lot more countries than yours, believe it or not, and some of them don’t have the same justice system as yours. Do people in your country have the right to vote? Same sentiment, do you think that’s a stupid system?

walrusintraining,

Which app are you using? This also isn’t the right place to post this question. If there’s a community for your app I would ask there.

Edit: there’s a pinned post at the top of this community that specifically says not to post support questions here.

walrusintraining,

What’s this from?

walrusintraining,

We need this everywhere, not just in Canada. A public google maps would do wonders, especially with the government’s ability to communicate important geographical live data (road work, wildfires, etc.)

walrusintraining,

On memmy rn and the spoiler works fine

walrusintraining,

Oh LMAO I can’t believe I thought otherwise. Thx for letting me know.

Ghostery browser and android?

I was looking at browsers in the Play store and saw the Ghostery browser. It’s now apparently based on Firefox, and I assume the Ghostery (plugin/extension) functionality is built in. Does it protect privacy better than other browsers and is it worth trying out? I currently use Firefox on android but I detest it’s UI...

walrusintraining,

How come?

walrusintraining,

I don’t use connect by I actually prefer fixed top bar because I don’t like having to scroll up to make it appear again and it doesn’t bother me to have it there. Just wanted to offer that opinion.

walrusintraining,

There’s a lot of apps that let you filter words or phrases if it’s not built into lemmy

It’s not like AI is using works to create something new. Chatgpt is similar to if someone were to buy 10 copies of different books, put them into 1 book as a collection of stories, then mass produce and sell the “new” book. It’s the same thing but much more convoluted.

Edit: to reply to your main point, people who make things should absolutely be able to impose limitations on how they are used. That’s what copyright is. Someone else made a song, can you freely use that song in your movie since you listened to it once? Not without their permission. You wrote a book, can I buy a copy and then use it to make more copies and sell? Not without your permission.

walrusintraining, (edited )

No, someone emulating someone else’s style is still going to have their own experiences, style, and creativity make their way into the book. They have an entire lifetime of “training data” to draw from. An AI that would “emulate” someone else’s style would really only be able to refer to the author’s books, or someone else’s books, therefore it’s stealing. Another example: if someone decided to remix different parts of a musician’s catalogue into one song, that would be a copyright infringement. AI adds nothing beyond what it’s trained on, therefore whatever it spits out is just other people’s works in a different way.

walrusintraining,

I’ve coded LLMs, I was just simplifying it because at its base level it’s not that different. It’s just much more convoluted as I said. They’re essentially selling someone else’s work as their own, it’s just run through a computer program first.

walrusintraining,

I agree with what you’re saying, and a model that is only trained on public domain would be fine. I think the very obvious line is that it’s a computer program. There seems to be a want for computers to be human but they aren’t. They don’t consume media for their own enjoyment, they are forced to do it so someone can sell the output as a product. You can’t compare the public domain to life.

walrusintraining,

If it were trained on a single book, the output would be the book. That’s the base level without all the convolution and that’s what we should be looking at. Do you also think someone should be able to train a model on your appearance and use it to sell images and videos, even though it’s technically not your likeness?

walrusintraining,

A few points:

  • Humans are more than just a brain. There’s the entire experience of ego, individualism, and body
  • Another massive distinction is autonomy and liberty, which no AI models currently possess.
  • We don’t know all there is to know about the human brain. We can’t say it is functionally equivalent to a neural network.
  • If complexity is irrelevant, then the simplest neural network trained on a single work of writing is equivalent to the most advanced models for the purposes of this discussion. Such a network would, again, output a copy of the work it was trained on

When we’ve developed a true self-aware AI that can move and think freely, the idea that there is little difference will have more weight to it.

walrusintraining,

No, they meant 100k is 0.0071428571429% of 1.4b, and 26 is the same percent of 365k. Basically, if you made 365k a year and had an equal percentage fine, it would come out to less than 7 cents per day.
