- Comment on CNN: Republicans release AI deepfake of James Talarico as phony videos proliferate in midterm races 4 days ago:
I think it’s pretty well established that people upvote primarily what they like and agree with. I would like it to be different but most people like it that way.

Amount of upvotes and comments in that thread.

Liberals fall for different kinds of deepfakes.
Here’s an example of a deepfake research paper that’s being circulated on Fediverse, Reddit etc: https://lemmy.zip/post/60720377
Calling it out for being AI generated was met with a mixed response too.
- Comment on An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills 5 days ago:
LLM output isn’t „correct unless proven wrong”, nothing ever is. It’s that there was no human effort involved and the technology won’t be ever reliable enough to trust it with research work.
- Comment on An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills 6 days ago:
Yes, because those sources weren’t read by a human. They could state one thing while the LLM hallucinates another.
- Comment on An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills 6 days ago:
Why would I make this effort if the autor likely didn’t? If they did all the required research they wouldn’t need an LLM in the first place.
- Comment on An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills 6 days ago:
Looks like I was right. Why repost this? I don’t believe this was ever truly reviewed by a human and Lemmy users won’t do it since most won’t read past the headline.
- Comment on An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills 6 days ago:
This was written by an LLM, wasn’t it?

- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 1 month ago:
- There’s nothing mandatory about those apps. Facebook and Pornhub are optional and the more friction in using them won’t hurt. All I’m saying is that massive platforms that allow a massive reach need to verify that their users are who they claim to be. I don’t think it should apply to small forums like Lemmy. Making people spread into smaller communities would be an added benefit.
- There is no invasion of privacy if zero knowledge proof protocol is used to verify that user is a national and not underage because nobody needs to know any other data points. Phone and internet are not human rights.
- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 1 month ago:
One has to weight what has a higher societal cost and if one has a choice at all if we want our societies to survive. Participation in big tech social media and watching porn is not a human right.
- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 1 month ago:
Plenty of EU countries have digital ID apps already and provide services like signing documents using that ID. Adding something like zero-knowledge proof with passkeys-like UI probably isn’t that much harder than putting people on the moon.
- Comment on Anthropic releases new AI Constitution for Claude 1 month ago:
FOMO - buy into world-changing technology or be left out completely. Doesn’t have to be very well thought out when media and politicians create an atmosphere of this being inevitable.
- Comment on Anthropic releases new AI Constitution for Claude 1 month ago:
Claude’s nature. In this section, we express our uncertainty about whether Claude might have some kind of consciousness or moral status (either now or in the future). We discuss how we hope Claude will approach questions about its nature, identity, and place in the world.
Fucking clowns insinuating that an LLM is conscious again so that clueless investors pump some more cash to burn.

- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI 1 month ago:
Consulting as a business is fundamentally flawed. Big4 generally send people without real world experience but equipped with lots of current buzzwords. There’s only so much you can do without being truly embedded in a company and the fact that consultants rarely bear any responsibility for their advice means they don’t care about outcomes that much.
- Comment on Building a Quake PC 1 month ago:
I loved this, thank you.
It was a dream of mine for some of the classics to be rebenched using era-appropriate hardware and modern methods. Going over by impactful config variables with screenshots to compare renderers was a cherry on top.
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI 1 month ago:
I’m fairly sure PWC isn’t exactly impartial here. Consulting firms have been battered by AI. LLMs are about as good at consulting as 30-year olds in suits which is a big risk for them.
