- Comment on The FTC cracks down on an AI content detector that promised 98% accuracy but was only right 53% of the time. 12 hours ago:

- Comment on Deepfake porn is destroying real lives in South Korea | CNN 1 day ago:
In a statement to CNN, Telegram said the company “has a zero-tolerance policy for illegal pornography” and uses “a combination of human moderation, AI and machine learning tools and reports from users and trusted organizations to combat illegal pornography and other abuses of the platform.”
They have machine learning algorithms for identifying nudity in pictures for decades now. Tech companies also have the best facial recognition software ever.
The company could combine both technologies to instantly stop uploads of content with the faces of previous victims.

Should we look at the history of all illegal immigrants in the US, keep them from owning property, a job, and residence?
We follow Trumps lead and start with the departments of the executive branch first.

As a person that plays Mario Kart, makes sense to me.
- Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing 1 week ago:
That’s a great point.
Search engines should fix this for federated websites if they still want the best search results.
For a solution now, I wonder if a 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code, redirecting to the original instance post, could work for search crawlers.
- Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing 1 week ago:
The biggest issue of community growth is the lack priority in search engines. If you ask a question on lemmy, stackoverflow, and reddit at the same time, you will get the two latter choices first even if the lemmy post has a better answer.
Either lemmy is not prioritized because of the age of the domain, or less visitors, but I think it’s purposely done. There are usually no ads on lemmy. Google prioritizes sites that use their products.

- Comment on Tesla speeds up odometers to avoid warranty repairs, U.S. lawsuit claims: Reuters 1 week ago:
Not an enthusiast or an export but I have played a lot of Mario Kart.
Doesn’t drifting lower the odometer compared to distance since you have to cover distance while your wheels stopped turning?

- Comment on Via porn, gore and ultra-violence, extremist groups are sinking hooks online into the very young. 2 weeks ago:
Imagine if children found stories of a man being abused by an entire crowd, stripped naked, and nailed to a cross he was forced to carry. Also he was alive when nailed. We should detain those children too.
- Comment on AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs. 2 weeks ago:
Why? People probably panic upgraded.
The Trump tariffs are doing as intended, manipulating the market.
- Comment on Meta whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams says company targeted ads at teens based on their ‘emotional state’ 2 weeks ago:
My theory is women, while they do look at porn, look at porn less. Men will seek out a particular type of porn or a specific video and will not stop until they find it. They are also less likely to go on websites that abuse popups like sports streaming channels.
Also I think women are also more likely to use social media which usually don’t have ad blockers.
- Comment on For the First Time, Artificial Intelligence is Being Used at a Nuclear Power Plant: California’s Diablo Canyon. 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like a waste of a quarter of a million dollars then.
- Comment on For the First Time, Artificial Intelligence is Being Used at a Nuclear Power Plant: California’s Diablo Canyon. 2 weeks ago:
For now, the artificial intelligence tool named Neutron Enterprise is just meant to help workers at the plant navigate extensive technical reports and regulations — millions of pages of intricate documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that go back decades — while they operate and maintain the facility.
As long as the data sets is directly from the technical documents without out interference, it sounds fine to me.
We probably spend about 15,000 hours a year searching through our multiple databases and records and procedures,” Zawalick said. “And that’s going to shrink that time way down.”
I am very curious on how much this will actually help.
I am also curious if reorganizing the database and training the staff would’ve been a better or worse time saver.

- Comment on iPhones were already losing ground in China. Then came Trump’s tariffs: Consumers ditch Apple for more advanced features and to support Chinese brands. 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 3 weeks ago:
$60 was a lot considering PS1 and Dreamcast games were in the $50 range.
According to an online inflation calculator, from 1996 inflation rose 103.4%. So if game prices followed inflation, $50-$60 games should be $100-$120.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 3 weeks ago:
Good point about inflation.
I’m really curious on how powerful the Switch 2 will be in comparison to the handhelds in the market now.
