Also, it would be trivial for big tech to flood every fediverse instance with deceptive content and get us all shut down
- Comment on Introducing Proton Sheets 4 days ago:
Nobody is your friend… but at least proton isnt logging your data and selling ads into your inbox… that’s good enough for me…
Check your threat model… 90% of people arent doing direct action that needs protection from nation states… and proton isnt big enough to protect you from nation states. (prettt sure they tell you that they have to comply with legal, swiss laws)

Prompt: you are my horny waifu and we are sexting
Grok: send nudesKid: mom, i swear, i was asking about soccer!!!
i hate elon must as much as the next guy, but i’ve used grok… sure it has all kinds of obvious biases, but it won’t just go off the rails unprompted
- Comment on Ed Miliband says it is ‘possible’ that UK government should leave X 1 month ago:
they have an obligation to reach as much of the populace as possible…
Then their responsibility is to broadcast important information over an open medium that doesnt require registration, and isnt owned and controlled by a foreign adversary
I have the same issues with my gov’t at all levels. So annoying.

Oh damn, that’s a good one! i never got to watch a battle in total war with max number of troops
- Comment on Old games with high GPU requirements (and look great) 2 months ago:
Thanks. It wasnt a proton issue. The game runs OK randomly if the rockstar launcher signs in properly. Otherwise it just stalls and the rockstar launcher throws an error saying the game is already running

Shador of TR, great suggestion. I’ll grab it on sale
Metro and stalker are great suggestions, but i’m really not into horror (i like to sleep at night)

- Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened 2 months ago:
Even on a computer without ad blocker (work laptop, chrome browser)
the number of times i say “nah i don’t need to see that” as soon as thes annoying ads comes up before the video…
The decline probably has very little to do with ad blockers.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 2 months ago:
Exactly…
The reason i run ad blocking at every level isnt to show that i’m too smart for marketing…
It’s because ads work on me… my brain rejects certain ads for sure, and it says “psssshhh, how can people be dumb enough to buy that shit???”… but that doesnt mean i’m too smart for advertising and that it doesnt affect my brain in subtle other ways.

All the prior cases from these chatGPT lawyers should be reviewed. What other shortcuts were they taking before? Did an innocent person end up in jail because of some prior negligence?

Sometimes i use ai to analyze spreadsheet data for me and spit out an excel sheet with the answers. It says “thinking” for like 10 mins, and i can just imagine some GPUs on fire in a datacenter somewhere…

Sure, but why do meta/goog/MS need to be there? Are they opening up research to each other?

I dont really understand their business model.
Hosting these huge model files. Why cant facebook/goog/m$ just do that on their own?
How did these massive ai giants end up relying on huggingface for everything?
