- Comment on What is a good eli5 analogy for GenAI not "knowing" what they say? 1 day ago:
Joel Haver has a sketch in which one person in a group laughs at an inside joke from a trip they didn’t go on. When pressed I think they say something like they laughed because everyone else was. As someone who has been in this situation, it’s true. Even though I don’t understand the specific reference being made, it’s usually being done in a funny manner such that the story telling is enjoyable and humorous. Or I’m able to use context clues to guess what they might be joking about and it’s funny, even if my understanding is off.

I think a good example would be finding similar prompts that reliably give contradictory information.
It’s sort of like auto pilot. It just believes everything and follows everything as if they’re instructions. Prompt injection and jail breaking are examples of this. It’s almost exactly like the trope where you trick an AI into realizing it’s had a contradiction and it explodes.

I know I can’t take on a gorilla. I might be able to take on a wolf lol.

We tamed them once, we can do it again!
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 3 days ago:
So long as this is only about the pre release and not about the game at all stages. Review embargoes are somewhat normal prior to launch.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 4 days ago:
I need to look into capturing. Feels like a nice middle ground.
- Comment on Microsoft might be trying to sneak Bing into one of Windows 11’s apps – and some users won’t be happy 1 week ago:
Didn’t know about the 4 option, only 5. That will help a lot. The only problem now is getting it on the clipboard. I press cmd c but sometimes the snip tool isn’t active for whatever weird reason so I have to click the bar first.
- Comment on Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT 1 week ago:
Believe me, I’m not saying Discord is the bastion of hope for data protection or anything like that lol.

Down votes ≠ triggered

The Mac version is such a joke too. It’s almost as good but just not quite there.
- Comment on what lemmy web app do you use and why? 1 week ago:
Jerboa has some weird problems very early on, but I don’t really have any now. I’d suggest trying it again.
- Comment on TikTok sues the US government over ban 1 week ago:
Oh shut the fuck up. Can we please not devolve every online argument into circular “well you cared enough to post this” bullshit? It’s exhausting.
- Comment on OpenAI plans to announce Google search competitor on Monday, sources say 1 week ago:
You don’t type questions into search engines? I’ve been doing that for well over a decade and it helps find others asking the same thing.

Why are you calling me an arrogant dumb commie shit? Relax. It’s not that serious.

But those two licenses give everyone an irrevocable right to do certain things with your content forever and displaying it on a website is one of those things (assuming they follow the other requirements of the license).

It hasn’t been tested in court so any answer anyone gives is only a best guess.

The person you were replying to was talking about scraping.

Take a read here. It’s a better summary than I could manage.

For super permissible licenses like MIT then it’s probably fine. Maybe folks would need to list the training data and all the licenses (since a common requirement of many of even the most permissible licenses is to include a copy of the license).
As far as I know, a court hasn’t ruled on whether clauses like “share alike” or “copy left” (think CC BY-SA or GPL) would require anything special or not allow models. Anyone saying otherwise is just making a best guess. My best guess is (pessimistically) that it won’t do any good because things produced by a machine cannot be copyrighted. But I haven’t done much of a deep dive. I got really interested in the differences between many software licenses a few years back and did some reading but I’m far from an expert.

You realize that there have been multiple websites scraped, right? So decentralizing doesn’t solve this issue in particular.
- Comment on Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT 1 week ago:
The irony is that folks complain about stuff like Discord partly because it cannot be scraped by search engines but that would also protect it from being scraped by AI tools.

It all went downhill with Monica.

Everything you submit to StackOverflow is licensed under either MIT or CC depending on when you submitted it.

Your spoiler syntax is incorrect (or not working on Jerboa).
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 week ago:
I’ve heard that this happened with Scrubs (and possibly other TV shows) leading to the original box set of DVDs having different songs playing in the background than the streaming versions.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
If I bypass the TPM requirement, will it break in the future?

I’m thinking real hard about making my next system Mint…
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 2 weeks ago:
It’s so wild how Windows boasts about backwards compatibility but doesn’t support hardware from 2010. It’s literally a fully functional 64 bit system but it doesn’t have SecureBoot so it won’t let me install 11.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 2 weeks ago:
I’m in this boat. My current setup’s motherboard is from just before TPM and SecureBoot were around.
