- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 2 days ago:
I think 5 million is ok number as a top. As long as it has been earned working.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 5 days ago:
You do you. I’ve been decades doing political activism. I just advice to keep expectations checked because I’ve seen so many people burning themselves out of not being able to achieve unrealistic political goals, and, what’s worse, ending up picking on small innocent people because they are the only ones they can impose their will on.
It’s good to keep making people conscious of the dangers of AI. But knowing what is expected, for yourself, and trying not to target people won’t deserve being targeted our of misdirected anger.
My best approach is taking a constructive approach. Do something by hand myself and enjoying it.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 6 days ago:
It’s good to have morals, but also to have realistic expectations.
We haven’t been able to stop dlc, micro transaction, gambling… I don’t think we would be able to stop AI in videogames.
I have the suspicion that all these quick and fast remakes in HD are pulling AI assets as crazy to be able to have results quickly and cheap.
Going too hard ln these devs, which doesn’t seem like bad people won’t ever change what EA. Ubisoft, Nintendo or any big player will do. It would only hurt this small studio for nothing.
- Comment on PortMaster: Talking Ports, Handhelds, and Community with the Developers (my article!) 1 week ago:
It’s a great way to play games in something like sn emulation box. I just installed it yesterday on my emuelec station.
- Comment on Are you a market or supermarket enthusiast? 2 weeks ago:
The one that allows me to do the smallest possible human iteration.
- Comment on Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive 4 weeks ago:
We don’t know what causes gravity, or how it works, either. But you can measure it, define it, and even create a law with a very precise approximation of what would happen when gravity is involved.
I don’t think LLMs will create intelligence, but I don’t think we need to solve everything about human intelligence before having machine intelligence.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 4 weeks ago:
The thing is that it’s kind of voluntary. Game developers could have use AI to develop the game and if they wouldn’t want to disclose it no one would know.
Unless the use of AI is the very crappy “AI art” that’s easy to notice the rest of uses would be very hard or actually impossible to figure it out to audit the legitimacy of the tag.
And this will end like r/art where the mods deleted a post accusing the artist of using AI when it was not AI and the final mod answer was “change your art style so it doesn’t look like AI”. A brutal witch-hunt in the end.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 4 weeks ago:
I think the issue is that many sites are too aggressive with it. Anubis can be configured to only ask for challenges if the site is under unusual load, for instance when a botnet it’s actually ddosing the site. That’s when it shines.
Making it constantly ask for challenges when the service is not under attack is just a massive waste of energy. And many sites just enable it constantly because they can defer bot pings from their logs that way. That’s for instance what op is doing. It’s just a big misunderstanding of the tool.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know if “anything”. But surely people overestimate kits capabilities.
It’s only a PoW challenge. Any bot can execute a PoW challenge. For a smal to medium number of bots the energy difference it’s negligible.
Anubis it’s useful when millions of bots would want to attack a site. Then the energy difference of the PoW (specially because Anubis increase the challenge if there’s a big number of petitions) can be enough to make the attacker desist, or maybe it’s not enough, but at least then it’s doing something.
But most people it’s not getting attacked and getting ddos by millions of bots.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 4 weeks ago:
You are right. For most self-hosting usecases anubis is not only irrelevant, but it actually works against you. False sense of security and making your devices do extra work for nothing.
Anubis is though for public facing services that may get ddos or AI scrapped by some not targeted bot (for a target bot it’s trivial to get over Anubis in order to scrap).
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think you have a usecase for Anubis.
Anubis is mainly aimed against bad AI scrappers and some ddos mitigation if you have a heavy service.
You are getting hit exactly the same, anubis doesn’t put up a block list or anything. And most bots are not AI scrappers they are just proving. So the hit on your server is the same.
What you want is to properly set up fail2ban or, even better, crowdsec. That would actually block and ban bots that try to prove your server.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 4 weeks ago:
It’s possible with certificates and 2fa issued by a government, which already have all your data, that would only verify that you are over 18.
We already have that in Spain, sort of. We have a government app where you have a digital id stored and you can make it create a verify qr that only shows if the user is over 18 or under 18, no more data. The qr only last 5 minutes active.
It is necessary? Not for internet access. That’s a duty of the one paying for internet in the household, not the government.
- Comment on How do you handle junk email? 5 weeks ago:
My “important” emails work on a white list basis. So every sender not approved by me goes to spam. When I’m waiting for an email I’ll check the spam folder for it and white list the sender.
- Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No? 1 month ago:
If it were to be a revolution he would be given the chance. Just be a director of valve for a normal director salary. If he take it then he would be just another worker.
- Comment on We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30. 1 month ago:
Where they give you houses for going to college? Did I missed a promotion?
- Comment on US strikes another alleged drug boat bringing death toll from campaign in Latin America to 70 1 month ago:
That country would automatically be hiding weapons of mass destruction, of course.
- Comment on "Fans"who don’t want Bruce Wayne to have "normal" friends or see Peter Parker financially stable don't want to see these character grow 1 month ago:
I mean, I don’t really enjoy characters I like changing overtime. They are nor “people” they are just stories, I don’t necessarily want the best for them. I just want them to keep providing the same interesting stories that hooked me on them to begin with.
If they change is hit or miss, and they may loose the thing I like about them.
- Comment on "Fans"who don’t want Bruce Wayne to have "normal" friends or see Peter Parker financially stable don't want to see these character grow 1 month ago:
I guess after no way home that stopped. I don’t know much about next movie but my guess would be a more “street level solitary” spiderman.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 months ago:
I walk by some neighborhood bars, that are cheap and still some people go everyday like the Simpsons.
Videogames are better. I’ve come to recognize some of the “local drunks” that are there every day, they do be like Barney from the Simpsons. It seems a little depressing looking at them destroying themselves with booze.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 2 months ago:
Not really. But I purposely avoid any politics related community.
- Comment on The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy. 2 months ago:
“I’d rather die alone shot down by a fascist than teaming up with this pal that do not share 100% of my vision on what this dead dude did 100 years ago”
- Comment on Alternative app store AltStore raises $6M, connects with the fediverse | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
I suppose you can enforce additional politics into your store. Like forcing all apps being open source (like f-droid).
But everything will keep to be apple/google approved, at least until linux phone becomes more mainstream.
Until then I’m moving away from native app development, and focusing more on webapps and progressive apps.
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 2 months ago:
I contacted my representatives in Spain and they gave two fucks about it, they still positioned as “in favour”.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I have always had the idea that advertisement had little to do with promoting a product, but with owning the media.
If you are the source of income of a business you can have a say in what that business do.
- Comment on Cooling stuff does not require any energy! 2 months ago:
Neat trick for when you want to cool something for free:
Just wait until the heat death of the universe.
- Comment on A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now. 2 months ago:
I think plenty of media actually depicted that. Watchmen the tv show is a clear example. I also think Captain American Winter Soldier have that topic.
Those are some recent popular ones, surely there are more.
- Comment on What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair? 2 months ago:
Untested feature. User is using the product after the End Of Support date.
- Comment on The end of tt-rss.org 2 months ago:
They are closing the whole project.
Specifically they say that they are tired of pushing fixes and that they don’t find excitement in maintaining the project. With zero mentions at all to being scrapped or having any kind of AI related issue.
I don’t think you understand what ttrss even is, to be honest.
- Comment on The end of tt-rss.org 2 months ago:
First, source code is on github.
Second, RSS aggregators are self hostable, not a service provided by the dev. The dev would have not issues of a public instance of ttrss hosted by someone gets scrapped.
Third, RSS aggregators doesn’t really tend to be public facing. Due to their personal nature they don’t tend to be open. They are more account based.
Sorry, I really don’t see the case here.
- Comment on The end of tt-rss.org 2 months ago:
It really doesn’t seem like that’s the case. It doesn’t even makes much sense. What do tou think was being AI scrapped? The source code?
