That’s crazy.

Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.

I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I’ve been reading “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford and you’re right. So much of the data that they’re trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it’s probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.

I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn’t a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it’s worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.

I was honestly impressed with the speed and accuracy I was getting with Deepseek, llama, and Gemma on my 1660ti.

$100 used and it was seconds to get responses.

It’s not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references

Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B’Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).

All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with “both sides” arguments.

It’s sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.

Gotta protect those Video Game movie deals.

Don’t wanna risk that Ganon cast in the Zelda Movie

I am personally a huge fan of taking advantage of wealthy people.

You don’t really have iPhone 16 pro Max and Air pods money to throw away like this without having a one sided relationship with labor, in my opinion.

But that’s my cynical leftist view.

I imagine the biggest reason to not keep it is fear of your son getting spoiled or demanding gifts from you that are this same caliber.

However, he is 16. Certainly not the most rational age for many people, but he can understand the difference in financial statuses between you and his friend.

I think it would be distressing for you to take away this expensive thing on the grounds of “we’re too poor to have nice things” especially since it was a gift from his best friend. But having that discussion of “hey don’t let that get to your head. I still love you I just could not afford such an expensive gift. Here’s a vague breakdown of our expenses”

My dad had a similar discussion with me when I was getting ready to go to college the first time and he flat out told me how much he and mom made and broke down where the money goes. It really helped me understand our economic position instead of just assuming my parents made a good amount of money (they didn’t)

Very Greg shaped guy

Despite everything. I was considering giving it a try, just to see.

But your right, if there’s a CSAM community on there I would inevitably host it to.

So I will not be trying plebbit

Homie, you used 4chans logo in your shitty nft drops

I think Terry A Davis would have found god in chat GPT and could have figured out the API calls on TempleOS

I just assume anything that promises free stuff on Instagram reels is in fact a scam or a hack.

Also I’m not getting on that shit site to confirm it’s true.

Israel has a history of ostracising those they deem “cowards” in society.

Just look into how they remembered the Holocaust and how they treated the survivors.

I both hope those brave soldiers stay in Israel to lead a change and hope they don’t let the state crush them with the gleeful support of the fascist civilian population.

Dunno how big they are. Might be a technical disconnect between the PR person and the devs.

I can excuse a marketing person making this whoopsie, but a dev? Come on you 100% saw the copypasta

There’s a reason they tell you NOT to use a knife in a self defense scenario. It is nearly impossible to defend especially if you kill the attacker.

I think you statistically have a better chance of getting away with “executioner style” shots with a gun than knife use in self defense.

From your user name to the link joke.

This is a real master piece

Interesting read.

I have my own atheist reading of prayer but in the use of making things happen and not trusting that god will make things right.

I have worked to remove the endless feeds from my life for a while by removing my access to algorithmic based social medias and then segregating my feeds.

This one is my time killer feed. I learn about things related to my hobbies like tech, philosophy, TV shows, etc. it’s just something to look at while I wait for a bus or a friend.

But I’m still an obnoxious lefty so I spend some time every few days on my lefty feed just seeing what things I should be aware of. Maybe I can’t change them, but knowing federal plans and then talking to my channels locally let’s me know if there’s anything I can do (join a protest, donate funds, volunteer, etc).

I struggled for a long time with the guilt of knowing about the global suffering and being helpless. Focusing on my self first to make sure I was the best version of me and then not expanding past what’s local to me has I think quelled that guilt.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my fiance, it’s that there’s both nothing wrong with a piece of media being for younger audiences and theres nothing wrong with consuming stuff meant for younger audiences.

Shit, Prodigy is endlessly shilled by folks on Mastodon with 18+ only in their banners.

This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.

Of the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you’re right they’re all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.

That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies

My avatar is also partially AI generated. I GIMPed the Zizek face from one of his movie posters though.

I’m used to people calling me out for the Zizek part and that hasn’t happened on Lemmy ever lol.
