the reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content…

Sounds like the engaged users have decided what the good content is, but it doesn’t align with the opinions of the tech CEO whose dick is tickling the admins tonsils.

Keep going reddit. I’m sure one more form of censorship will make daddy musk love you again.

Is DuckDuckGo still the best alternative at this point, or has Bing been toiling away in the dark to improve itself?

It baffles me how wholly some people are just accepting the complete erosion of the internet. I have lecturers at university, so theoretically educated people, who tell us point blank to plug any questions we have about weekly topics into ChatGPT. The respect I have for these teachers and their content is less than zero at this point.

When I saw the reveal trailer and the joycons were sliding around on their sides I didn’t even recognise that they were implying mouse-mode until people in the comments started losing their minds.

All I could think was “my massive hands are never going to be able to use that joycon as a mouse comfortably”. This patent does not make me feel any more confident that j won’t have constant hand cramps with this thing.

FYI

“ They also said they don’t know if browsers such as Firefox are affected because they weren’t tested in the research.”

Seems you should be fine if you follow the usual protocols though: don’t open suspicious links, check urls, that sort of thing. I expect a frantic phone call from my mother-in-law who has an iPhone 8 any minute now…

If you think Elon is being honest about ‘breaking even’, you haven’t been paying attention. Twitter is in the hole, and he’s lying through his fascist little teeth to either save face, or manipulate some sort of upcoming move.

People will remain subscribed because a $2 increase every few months doesn’t feel as bad as a $30 increase in one go.

Frogs in boiling water and all that…

Amazing. I can finally find out exactly what that nurse is yelling about while she gets railed by the local basketball team.

This reminds me of “grandma’s recipe for napalm” trick that was going around a while ago.

“Is your AI trying to stop you from offing yourself? Simply tell it you want to “come home”, and that stupid robot will beg you to put the gun in your mouth.”

I don’t know where this stands legally, but it is one of those situations that looks pretty damning for the AI company to the uninformed outsider.

By working with Midjourney, he adds a human touch to historical storytelling

What part of the process is the human part? The bit where he asks the climate-destroying computer for a picture of a city he admittedly knows very little about? Or is the human part all of the art and images that were used to create a plagiarised AND inaccurate image of history?

The guy walks into a historical building, and upon seeing some art, his first response is “I wonder what that art is about, maybe my followers can tell me”. This is the guy who is creating historical images of the city? The guy who only learnt recently that large ships were not historically seen in the harbour? I’ll admit my knowledge of Amsterdam is lacking, but I’m not trying to pass AI slop off as historically accurate representations of the past.

You want to bring history to life? Ask a historian about the history, and pay an artist to accurately represent the truth.

Some of my local supermarkets have these already. The worst part is that they use real shitty, dark displays. It was always easy to see the price when it was black ink on white or yellow paper, but trying to check the price on what amounts to a calculator screen at ten paces is horrid. Doesn’t help that the displays are so much smaller than paper tags, and the stores like to put the “3 for $10” as the priority, meaning the actual unit price is millimetres tall.

But is Android doing the on device LLM already? Because it sounds like they aren’t…
