• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a bad idea considering:

  a lot of past convicts that have been rehabilitated shouldn’t be allowed into 87.3% of all jobs

  www.forbes.com/advisor/…/remote-work-statistics/

  And further considering the innocence project claims that about 4% of those are false convictions.

  Obviously I do not want to downplay the situation you’re in but making society better is not done with broad brush strokes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean you are making a fair argument that there’s a distinction between your own morals and the binding rules in place. You are free to feel a lot of things that are very bad, but when you act on them you will bump into reality.

  That said I think the original comment was meant to say that the only reason he is here is because society through the legal process has found him to be safe to work there.

  Now to get beyond the feelings against him OP can obviously talk to HR and make sure they get some distance, but if the courts found him not guilty, he deserves to be there. Imagine serving years in prison, working on yourself until the government finally finds you fit enough to enter society again, only for ppl to kick you out of your job again because of something you tried so hard to leave behind. That’s why the prison system usually focuses on rehabilitation instead of punishment in most civil countries.

  What I’m saying is, the court’s ruling does not have to change the way you feel, but the court also says you have no right to take his job from him unless he commits crimes again. No feeling can measure heavy enough to weigh up against the right for him to live a normal life.

  Lol

  I played the closed beta. For 20min. I couldn’t continue because it felt so incredibly boring. Insanely uninspired. Even Blackwake, the buggy mess with the simplest game loop was more interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit seeks to launch IPO in March⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still feel like if we want to grow faster organically we need to natively support more “discovery functions”. Just things that you can toggle of like for example a recommendation screen and stuff. The algorithm for it we can make and adapt open source so no one is scared we collect data.

  We’re running into the Linux Vs Windows problem, where you can technically do more stuff and have more control over you account on Lemmy, but you need to be familiar with the fediverse before joining, just to Unterstand how to use Lemmy. That’s a big problem for any potential new user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit seeks to launch IPO in March⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man I wish you were wrong but I have seen this exact thing 95% of the times I had a look behind closed doors of companies.

  And even more dumb: this nerd usually gets undervalued, and as soon as they leave, it takes about half a year for ppl to realize how fucked they are and frantic recruitment noises to fill the offices in the hopes to pick up the pieces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit seeks to launch IPO in March⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Although this is to be expected, and at least this means we have content, it is also a bit unfortunate.

  RIP Aaron indeed. May his fighting spirit be the anchor point for any community that’s succeeding Reddit.

  And some people pointed it out even back then. There were signs that the employees were very loyal to Altmann, but Altmann didn’t meet the security concerns of the board. So stuff like this was just a matter of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney backs down from 'Steamboat Willie' YouTube copyright claim⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes the most sense.

  When I release music through distributors, there’s always an option to enter it into contentid so YouTube can do claims on my behalf. This is all automated and I don’t assume YouTube takes the copyright lifespan into account.

  If we extrapolate this to Disney’s use case, they would have had to actively locate it in their contentid entries to YouTube and then remove it that day and hope YouTube refreshes their contentid system timely enough. It’s not very difficult that someone messed up in this chain. So I would honestly give Disney the benefit of the doubt on this one.

  Don’t get me wrong, they have an awful relationship with the copyright but let’s make damn sure we criticise them for the right things, otherwise they will only learn that they will get shit on either way and stop thinking about being assholes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not how this works. They are running internationally, and GDPR would hit them like a brick if they did that.

  I would assume they had some deals with law enforcement to transmit data one narrow circumstances.

  This is different. This is a breach and if you have a company taking care of such sensitive data, it’s your job to do the best you can to protect it. If they really do blame this on the users, they are in for a class action and hefty fine from the EU, especially now that they’ve established even more guidelines towards companies regarding the maintenance of sensitive data. This will hurt on some regard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do AI image generators have a stroke when they try to generate text?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The best answer will require a very technical understanding, but I’ll give it a try and stay abstract.

  The AI is trained using images. If you type in things like “a tree” it has a vague idea of what it looks like.

  The thing is writing letters is a hard concept. How should the AI know text is made up of letters? Connected lines make a letter and unconnected ones don’t. Sentences are connected using dots.

  Easy enough for us, you have to imagine an AI is best with what it can directly observe. But knowing when to literally write out letters is hard. So it has a stroke. It has a vague notion of “this is where text is supposed to go” but making the letters look right in an adjusted font, remembering where letters end and how words are spaced; all of this is far too complex.

  Now I haven’t looked into it for AIs who CAN generate text more well, but I assume the only they do this is by deciding “there’s gonna be text” and then using another process to insert the text basically after the fact. Or maybe there’s some special process change in the training or inference of the image going on? Idk, for this one I need an expert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why didn't SBF flee?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “why didn’t he make a run for it” if you realise you will be tried, it is too late. If you try to flee somewhere without a good reason, they will hold you and arrest you.

  He’s not a genius, but he’s also not a total idiot. He knows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why didn't SBF flee?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And then there’s also a difference between being intelligent and being smart. If you are intelligent, you might know how to cheat in a videogame. But if you are smart, you know that this a bad idea because of a plethora of reasons.

  Btw there is a good argument with net neutrality that the ISP doesn’t even have a right to know what services you are streaming. Because that shit can be sold to data brokers. Ofc this kind of argument is always better suited for the EU, but Considering freedom is a big thing for America, I assume the freedom to govern over your own data should be a right regardless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study finds that Chat GPT will cheat when given the opportunity and lie to cover it up later.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes perfect sense. It’s been trained to answer questions to you satisfaction, not truthfully. It was made to prioritize your satisfaction over truth, so it will lie if necessary.

  IANAL

  Usually judges don’t issue such extreme orders only because of the fact that they don’t want to be hammered on appeal.

  Now this one is different. I have 2 theories: either the judge thinks the mandatory negative inference is not needed because there’s a good chance the jury will do that anyway, or the judge is gonna advise the government to make this a separate case.

  It honestly doesn’t sound to me like he’s just saying one thing and doing the other. He sounds rightly agitated and usually agitated judges will give you a low blow sooner or later if you fuck around.
