- Comment on Downranking won’t stop Google’s deepfake porn problem, victims say 2 hours ago:
As much as I dislike Google, I’m not entirely sure what they can do here. The tech is public and here to stay. There’s a deluge of porn material and this is just part of it.
Google could train an AI to find images of people that were deepfaked but all that’s gonna do is create adversarial training - a new game for trainers. Making stuff easier to report could also make it easier to create fake reports. The article doesn’t really make suggestions as to what google should be doing. Maybe they don’t know either.

- Comment on Recruiters Are Going Analog to Fight the AI Application Overload 1 week ago:
Recruiters often do a shit job at writing the job posting: no salary, false information, lots of SEO bullshit, business language, lots of bullshitting by throwing around marketing terms like “competitive” and “best in the field”. Nobody believes that garbage. Be honest for once. List the information, don’t lie or hide facts that will drive candidates away when they hear/read them, and for fucks sake, like the goddamn salary.
As for HR, fuck those idiotic personality tests. Stop wasting everybody’s time. Make it 2 - max 3 - step interview process, and be done with it. It’s a 50/50 chance you get a good candidate anyway.

Previous work has already shown that image generators can be forced to generate examples from their training data—including copyrighted works—and an early OpenAI LLM produced contact information belonging to a researcher
You don’t seem to be able to read the articles, yet have responded with junk anyway.
- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 1 week ago:
Ironic, considering you are undoubtedly not a lawyer and have evidently never even dealt with copyright issues.
How is it ironic? I never said I was a lawyer, nor did I ever say I was giving legal advice, nor have I ever spoken with authority on the subject.
You however… can’t see the irony of your own statement.

As a lawyer, what’s your opinion on the CC BY-NC-SA v4 license?
- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 1 week ago:
Thanks for the support 💗
I’m not very affected by it, honestly. It makes me chuckle that people get so offended about a link in a comment. Sometimes I respond, but quite often I block and move on.

I said so in my comment
So there is a big lawsuit against it

How exactly do you expect to see the “source” of a language model?

@Pacrat173@lemmy.ml the license is actually a Creative Commons license for Non-Commercial uses. Creative Commons is a copyleft license that’s “free to use with some restrictions”. Mostly used in art, literature, audio, and film, for my part I’m using it to license my comments. Anybody can cite with attribution, but commercial use is forbidden by the license.
The why: I just don’t like non-opensource commercial ventures. Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Facebook, Apple, and so on are harmful in many ways.
Enforcement and legality: Microsoft’s Github CoPilot (a large language model / “AI”) was trained on copyrighted text source code. A few licenses clearly state that derivatives should also be opensource, which CoPilot is not. So there is a big lawsuit against it. Many artists, non-programmer authors, musicians, and others are also unhappy that AI was trained on their copyrighted works and have sued for damages.
Until these cases make it out of court, it will not be clear if adding a license to comments could even jeopardize commercial AI vendors. - Comment on Apple's 'incredibly private' Safari is not so private in Europe 1 week ago:

I like calling the company “Malus” as that’s what the generic, scientific term for an apple is (aka the genus). It sounds quite fitting to how the company operates.

Probably a very good lens. If there’s no digital zoom and little digital correction, then quality can be quite good despite low pixel count.

Or alternatively, what the fuck were they before that gave birth like this?

Thanks, that was insightful. Curious gadgets that feel more like gimmicks at the moment. But who knows, maybe in the future they’ll become more common place. It’s hard imagining them displacing a smartphone though…

It’s an array.
First time I heard of vectors in comp-sci was in C++. The naming still doesn’t make sense to me.
- Comment on Caption this. 2 weeks ago:
In order for AI to work, it needs a lot of training data. I personally have nothing against AI, just against the commercial variants whose models that aren’t made available to the public.
Of course just putting a license in text doesn’t provide automatic protection. It still needs detection of infringement and enforcement of the license. There’s an ongoing case against at least one commercial AI called Github CoPilot which could set a precedent for ignoring licenses.
