From the article...

Surprisingly, premium paid versions of these AI search tools fared even worse in certain respects. Perplexity Pro ($20/month) and Grok 3's premium service ($40/month) confidently delivered incorrect responses more often than their free counterparts.

Though these premium models correctly answered a higher number of prompts, their reluctance to decline uncertain responses drove higher overall error rates.

Then maybe leave them in the past.

You should never forget your heroes.

EDIT: And when someone says something like this about them...

I suspect that this undead army would be happy with Trump’s attack against the LGBTQ

..., they need to be defended.

Not everything is as black and white, 0% or 100%, nothing in between, as those with an agenda would want you to believe it is.

Would it, though?

Legally, yes.

If they kept repeating the same thing, they started getting fined a lot, and then to be a little hard for Elon to explain how he's saving money when he's paying Court fines.

They have not crossed that line yet, not obeying the courts.

Never understood people of today trying to judge other people from yesterday's gone by to the same morals standard that they have today.

Humanity evolves forward, societies change from the past to the present and into the future.

There was a lot of wrongs that societies of that day were doing, not only to homosexuals, but to people of different skin colors as well. But say what you will about it, we're all here today to argue about it because they stepped up and did the thing that none of us has had to do, fighting a global war where everything they know might go away and be replaced with evil.

For that, we owe them a level of respect, and to judge them through a lens of time.

FYI, I was talking about Allied citizens who fought in World War II, not Nazis.

I do understand that you were talking about Nazi citizens, in relation to your LGBTQ comment.

Hearing Trump talk about how the car has 'computer' (during the news conference) made me think back to a news event with George H.W. Bush in a supermarket, seeing a grocery barcode scanner for the first time.

Same kind of inquisitive and excited response from both of them.

Depends if there were dumb lumbering giants outside that would eat me, 'Attack on Titan' style.

From the article ...

The legal mechanism behind Ananias’ harrowing experience is known as “expedited removal.” Created in 1996, the statute grants broad powers to low-level border officials to unilaterally remove non-citizens from the United States without a hearing in front of an immigration judge

Personally I really wish she would contest it. If not just for her, but to set a precedent that would protect those who came after her.

Plus she's due compensation for what she was put through.

Sounds like good times, indeed.

From the article ...

Documents viewed by The Trek indicate that Ananias was deported and banned from entering the US for five years on February 25, despite having a valid visa. US Customs and Border Patrol declined a request to comment for this story, citing privacy concerns.

The officer asked how she had financed her previous stays in the United States; Ananias explained about her freelance work in Germany and additional financial support from her father and offered to show bank statements. “She refused to look at them and accused me of either being a millionaire or having worked illegally. She spoke in an aggressive tone, frequently interrupted me, and repeatedly raised her voice,” said Ananias.

The legal mechanism behind Ananias’ harrowing experience is known as “expedited removal.” Created in 1996, the statute grants broad powers to low-level border officials to unilaterally remove non-citizens from the United States without a hearing in front of an immigration judge

Expedited removal cannot be appealed under the independent judiciary, but can be contested within the department by an individual or their lawyer through the DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program. As Ananias’ evidence was not properly reviewed in interrogation and her medical needs were ignored in holding, in theory she has strong grounds for review of the decision. However, it is a lengthy, complicated process, with the burden of proof on the individual.

In light of her traumatizing experience, Ananias said she would likely not attempt to contest the ban and would steer clear of the US as long as the current climate on border security holds, for fear of going through the same thing again. “I had entered the United States multiple times without issue in the past, yet this time I was treated as a criminal,” she emphasized.

No. It was for a Star Wars roleplay but not a video game. It started life in the newsgroup de.rec.sf.starwars

Ah, ok, nice! Was that the old D6 version, or the newer D20 one?

and I played the role of Emperor.

You dark person you! 😜

This is a great idea, and I don't want to discourage anyone from doing this, but FYI, be very careful on filling out the second link ('HERE') with your contact information.

Be sure to check out that 'Privacy Policy' link at the bottom of the page. Your contact info is available to the government, and that's usually public information that others can see/use.

And, though newly retired, he knew that he had to do something. He showed up at EFF’s front door in early 2006 with a simple question: “Do you folks care about privacy?” We did. And what Mark told us changed everything.

The article is a good read, short. Worth your time.

And Mr. Klein, if you're out there, thank you for your service. /heart-to-chest-salute

I don’t want to defend trump, but does the article author he linked to, know what that is?

It doesn’t seem the author or trump knew the meaning of the symbol.

You may be totally right, sincerely, but also, its funny how each and every time the 'Nazi accusation' comes up that it can be potentially hand-waved away/excused as a simple mistake/misunderstanding, almost like if someone is doing that on purpose so that they can still signal but have an 'out' for the signaling. The President of the United States of America should be the LAST person to make those kind of mistakes.

Also drives up conflict so that people are not looking at "what the other hand is doing".

My head canon has the 'Greatest Generation' rising up from their graves ghost-like to attack the White House like a scene out of Peter Jackson's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' movie.

(Assuming the Nazi claim is true and Trump wasn't just being his normal clueless self.)

Apologies for being off-topic, but the domain name, "swg-empire.de", does the 'swg' part 'Star Wars Galaxies' by chance?

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

I always felt it was because of 'social norms' (the unwritten non-laws we all conduct ourselves by) have eroded away in the age of Trump, enhancing the normal angst the two 'culture war' sides have for each other, releasing people from acting civilly with each other. Throw in the new age of corporate 'conflict bots' on social media, and things get amped up even more.

what’s the particular license about?

These links can explain it better than I could ...

By default, everything you write, from a novel to an Internet forum shitpost, is not only copyrighted by you but also “all rights reserved.”

What that guy is doing is (a) making his writings more available for reuse than they would be otherwise, and (b) making a point about how fucked-up it is that corporations treat stuff posted to social media as if it were a free-for-all they could use however they want.

the license is actually a Creative Commons license for Non-Commercial uses. Creative Commons is a copyleft license that’s “free to use with some restrictions”. Mostly used in art, literature, audio, and film, for my part I’m using it to license my comments. Anybody can cite with attribution, but commercial use is forbidden by the license.

The why: I just don’t like non-opensource commercial ventures. Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Facebook, Apple, and so on are harmful in many ways.

Enforcement and legality: Microsoft’s Github CoPilot (a large language model / “AI”) was trained on copyrighted text source code. A few licenses clearly state that derivatives should also be opensource, which CoPilot is not. So there is a big lawsuit against it. Many artists, non-programmer authors, musicians, and others are also unhappy that AI was trained on their copyrighted works and have sued for damages. Until these cases make it out of court, it will not be clear if adding a license to comments could even jeopardize commercial AI vendors.

Anti Commercial-AI license

This link shows that ProPublica also licenses their content here on Lemmy.

I want to license my content to be available to non-profit open-source, and restricted for for-profit.

I understand that its not my responsibility to enforce laws, and that just because laws are not enforced currently that I should still be able to avail myself to them, as well as that enforcement of the laws may not be happen currently, but that enforcement will catch up to the reality on the ground.

Also, that laws trump ToS's. And "Safe Harbor" laws that corporate social media companies/sites protects themselves with state that we own our content, and not them. And that they (or anyone else) can't use a ToS to strip away our ownership, and hence, our content licensing. Also, content licenses travel with their licensed content, no matter where the content is copied to.

Forgot to mention, I'm not a Sov Cit. I pay my house taxes, and drivers license fee, and my car registration, etc. I don't believe in that cause.

Finally, if the license link looks weird, it may be that your app/client does not support Lemmy.World's formatting text. You would have to speak with the devs of the product you use to view Lemmy to get that corrected.
