  This is likely not the Generative AI, LLM-slop type of AI you’re thinking of.

  I hate generative AI. But other forms of AI and machine learning have been used for much longer and haven’t facilitated the building of ecologically harmful datacenters.

  For example, AlphaFold, which is an AI program that can predict how proteins fold and is an incredibly useful tool.

  I expect that the use of AI here would be similar: something trained for a specific purpose, not just generic generative AI tech like ChatGPT

  A few tells

  • fridge in the yard?
  • snowman is too perfect
  • not enough snow to make said snowman
  • asymmetrical townhouse (different windows, etc.)

  But the biggest giveaway

  • the bricks on the house are of inconsistent sizes. Sometimes they are too long, sometimes too short. If you zoom in it becomes apparent

  This is setting off my AI-slop alarm

  I’ve heard the idea that an addiction becomes an addiction once it starts negatively impacting your life.

  i.e. missing scheduled events, getting angry at people when you can’t have it, lying to others about it, etc.

  But I am not a licensed anything so hopefully someone else who knows what they’re actually talking about also answers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨br□ther⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not the same as the post’s photo, though. Did someone redraw it in more detail, or did someone put it through an AI image generator to look like that?

  It’s “whet your appetite” in case anyone was interested. But the misspelling is probably part of the meme

  Yeah I was reading about the editing guidelines and they have a principle that surprised me at first:

  Verifiability, not truth.

  Basically, you could edit an article with information you know is true (like your bedrooms or fireplaces), but truth is not the criteria that edits get tested upon. It must be verifiable by a source.

  Pretty cool that you didn’t just give up and actually got the local newspaper to interview you! That’s awesome!

  I suspect it’s not a lack of playtesters that’s the problem, but harsh deadlines and crunch. That type of environment leads to tech debt to get things working fast, which leads to hard-to-manage code, which leads to bugs…

  The person with the anime profile pic has the “no under 18” emoji (🔞) so they probably either make or share NSFW content. My guess is the OP checked out their profile and found Nintendo and Omori NSFW stuff and responded with a targeted quip

  From a post elsewhere on lemmy

  A cartoon comic of a woman talking to a duck. The woman says “Humans are the virus.” The duck responds “That is literally eco-fascist rhetoric. Stop trying to shift the blame away from capitalism when it’s obviously the problem.”

  Libraries are basically the only remaining third space, but they don’t fill the same need as the original commentor. Libraries don’t have places for kids to run around, be noisy, and climb things. That would be awesome though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tens of thousands march in New Zealand Maori rights protest⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good question. Anyone who is part or all Māori can choose whether they vote for the Māori electorate or the general electorate. As for services, I don’t know. If I had to guess, you’d have to be a member of an iwi (tribe) or at least be part Māori. But there are services for everyone; it’d be Māori-based services that would be aimed at Māori. They have different cultural values and methods, so it’s more the way the services are provided rather than the services themselves.

  For example, during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, there was some discussion about Māori wanting to have their whole whānau (family) vaccinated at the same time because it’s seen as a collective measure and followed cultural Māori family values. At the time, they were being rolled by age, so some people in a family could get it while others couldn’t. There are valid discussions to be had for both methods.
