  Risking your life to inconvenience other people is a weird form of fun I must say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve yet to detect even a hint of right-wing / nazi bias on Grok. I get that it’s a popular narrative but it simply just doesn’t hold true according to my experience. It’s not that much different from ChatGPT really - just slightly less restricted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are completely used to autotune in music now, and the same will happen with ai usage⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When it comes to music, all I care is whether it sounds good or not. Same applies to AI generated content: if it’s better than human made content then I want that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Though in the case of consciousness - the fact of there being something it’s like to be - not only don’t we know what causes it or how it works, but we have no way of measuring it either. There’s zero evidence for it in the entire universe outside of our own subjective experience of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Research] At least 80 million inconsistent facts on Wikipedia – can AI help find them?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “AI” covers a lot more than LLMs and much of it is quite useful. Figured out protein folding for example.

  Even in this narrow case of LLMs, it’s still correctly pointing out flaws in wikipedia articles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Research] At least 80 million inconsistent facts on Wikipedia – can AI help find them?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  …said Lemmy user reflexively upon seeing mention of AI in the title.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair and flawless comparison. I’ve got nothing to add.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder the same about people with hundreds of unread emails. Almost as if they don’t know that you can unsubscribe from newsletters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that Boris Johnson was one of the most corrupt Prime Minister in British history. He was obsessed about money⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure what this information is good for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someday pornhub will be replaced by some AI generative porn site and people will talk about it in casual conversation only Ill have no idea because I've yet to let the intrusive thoughts win.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not going to lie - I’m slightly concerned about what the future holds in regards to AI porn, especially for me and other people like me with a higher-than-average draw towards porn.

  I’ve been playing around with generating softcore pictures with AI and then turning those into video, and while it’s far from perfect, it’s pretty fucking good already, and it’s only going to get better. Some of the stuff it generates you literally can’t tell apart from a real picture/video, and it lets me specify my exact niche kinks and preferences and then spits out an endless feed of just that. In the past I’ve had to sift through piles of crap only to find a few gems, but not with AI - it serves me exactly what I ask for, and I never run out of new content.

  What’s also noteworthy is that while we’re speaking of porn now, this will however apply to all media. Music, movies, TV series, games, or just YouTube- or TikTok-like video feeds. An endless stream of content perfectly tailored to your exact tastes, and every next piece of content just going to be better than the last one.

  We’re going to be entertained to death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an optimal home/apartment size that most people would be happy with?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My house is 90m², though the upstairs has a low ceiling and mostly just functions as a bedroom, so it’s more like 60m² in practice. While I wouldn’t want to raise a family here, I still find it perfectly sufficient for two people. It also comes with the additional benefits of having fewer rooms to heat, clean, and renovate. I also like that my yard feels a lot bigger due to the smaller footprint of the house itself.

  That being said, I would prefer it to be slightly bigger. Maybe one extra room and a bigger-than-1.5m x 1.5m bathroom.

  So it makes sense to adjust prices for inflation because the numeric value itself doesn’t illustrate the purchasing power accurately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see what’s silly about it. It’s the purchasing power that matters - not the numeric value.

  Adjusted for inflation, 11k in the 60s is equivalent to 120k today. You can get a house for that money. Not a big house, but houses weren’t that big back then either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we have a healthy life only with fruits or fruits and plants combined alone, and if not why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Going entirely vegan isn’t the easiest thing to pull off for everyone, but you absolutely could cut out the vast majority of animal products that we consume. I think there’s an argument to be made for a certain level of consumption of animal products - perhaps not from a moral standpoint but arguably from a health point of view.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is ethanol so tasty?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you’re wired that way. It’s not universally tasty, but it is to some individuals. I personally don’t like the taste at all - I only want the effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US proposals to end Russia's war involve Ukraine giving up land, some weapons, sources say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s zero value in saying let’s not do X because of Y and Z while not suggesting what to do instead. You’re basically rooting for the status quo here, which is death and destruction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US proposals to end Russia's war involve Ukraine giving up land, some weapons, sources say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the realistic alternative here? At this point it’s quite delusional to think Ukraine is going to get back the lost territories - they’re not. You don’t have to like that, but that’s how it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like your profile is an identity of you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. I rarely use an account for longer than 6 months anyway before creating a new one. Did the same on reddit. I’ve already lost count on how many I have on Lemmy. If you were able to link them all together somehow then you could figure out quite a bit about me which is the reason I keep making new ones but even then I wouldn’t consider it an identity of any sort. Just a trail of information I’ve left behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nor can I figure out this level of unprovoked hostility toward a complete stranger, but looking through your moderation history made it pretty clear that it’s not personal but you’re just lashing out to cope with whatever personal issues you’re dealing with. I don’t like it but get it. I genuinely hope you find some peace, but I don’t want anything more to do with this, so don’t spend your time writing a response. I’ve had enough with trying to deal with mean people online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never understood what it was people did on Twitter. I understand it even less now that it is X.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I post post adult content and I follow other people who do the same. There are some extremely niche fetish communities there that you’ll struggle finding anywhere else. I also like that since it’s not a dedicated porn site there’s a lot of people following and messaging me with their personal profiles and getting thirsty comments from closeted gay conservatives, muslims and even extremists is quite fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Humans contributing tags for filters would be like fighting the tide with a spoon.

  Isn’t that what you’re literally advocating for here? I don’t see the practical difference between having users reporting AI content versus users reporting AI content that isn’t correctly labeled as such.

  I stand behind what I said. Give people the option to filter it out of their own feeds if they want to. I don’t wish to push my own content preferences onto people with different tastes. Curating your own feed is the way to go. Not top down control from the tech companies themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Zero tolerance ban still requires a method of detecting AI content in order to enforce said ban. Having such detection system in place would then just as well give people the option to choose for themselves whether they want to see such content or not. Ofcourse such filter isn’t 100% accurate but neither is a total ban. Some of that content will always get through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TikTok but without users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or just had a filter to hide it. I don’t feel like banning something from everyone just because I personally don’t like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have a flagship phone or a car that's 2021/newer but are struggling financially?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I consider a 10 year old car to be practically new. Older models are much nicer design-wise anyway than these new computers on wheels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have a flagship phone or a car that's 2021/newer but are struggling financially?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Total expenses for my almost 20 year old truck are around 300€/month. While not cheap, it’s not that expensive either. Housing and food are by far the biggest expense categories for me.

  It was walking so smooth untill it tripped. I’m sure a minor software patch will fix that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And thus it’s newsworthy when they do something stupid which then skews your perception of how safe and reliable they actually are. Deaths caused by self-driving vehicles are extremely rare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waymo says its self-driving taxis will take customers on freeways for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If there were a news article for every time a human driver did something extremely dumb behind the wheel, like there is for when an AI driver does, you’d never see those articles about self-driving cars - the feed would be completely flooded with stories about the stupid things human drivers do.
