Ah true, that does look more like Wikipedia.

Alright, I'm seeing enough of this now we probably have enough content to create a community specifically for Google Search fails.

They still are. Giving a generative AI the same input and the same seed results in the same output every time.

Technically, generative AI will always give the same answer when given the same input. But, what happens is a "seed" is mixed in to help randomize things, that way it can give different answers every time even if you ask it the same question.

Sure, but don't let that feed into the sentiment that AI = scams. It's way too broad of a term that covers a ton of different applications (that already work) to be used in that way.

And there are plenty of popular commercial AI products out there that work as well, so trying to say that "pretty much everything that's commercial AI is a scam" is also inaccurate.

We have:
Suno's music generation
NVidia's upscaling
Midjourney's Image Generation
OpenAI's ChatGPT
Etc.

So instead of trying to tear down everything and anything "AI", we should probably just point out that startups using a lot of buzzwords (like "AI") should be treated with a healthy dose of skepticism, until they can prove their product in a live environment.

If you think that "pretty much everything AI is a scam", then you're either setting your expectations way too high, or you're only looking at startups trying to get the attention of investors.

There are plenty of AI models out there today that are open source and can be used for a number of purposes: Generating images (stable diffusion), transcribing audio (whisper), audio generation, object detection, upscaling, downscaling, etc.

Part of the problem might be with how you define AI... It's way more broad of a term than what I think you're trying to convey.

Very true... what I meant to say was:
[...] then this means our data shouldn't need to leave the device at all [...]

Well... good thing I've been buying what I can through GOG... but this is terrible news, especially with the way Microsoft has been shutting down gaming studios recently.

Edit: meh, this just sounds like clickbait:

• The leak comes from an unknown and unreliable source in the gaming industry.
• Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard faced regulatory challenges, making the merger with Valve unlikely.

This sounds like what TOR users run into. Are you always clearing your browsing data/cookies in Firefox? A fairly blank slate there will raise some red flags in a lot of systems causing the captchas to be aggressive.

Otherwise, maybe you just ended up with a bad IP address that was previously being used for suspicious bot looking traffic?

I would definitely submit a ticket to Etsy about this issue, but this is likely an issue with captcha or whatever they're using to detect "suspicious activity".

Edit: I just tried logging in to Etsy and it gave me about 4 captchas for signing in with a "new device".

Looks like google really needs help training their self driving cars.

The whole thing is going to be run on a local LLM. They don't have to upload that data anywhere for this to work (it will work offline). But considering what they already do, Microsoft is going to have to do a lot to prove that they aren't doing this.

Since everything is being run in a local LLM, most likely this will be some extra RAM usage rather than SSD usage, but that is assuming that they aren't saving these images to file anywhere.

Actually, if this is the requirement, then this means our data isn't leaving the device at all (for this purpose) since everything is being run locally.

Looks like a separate element that comes after the LLM summary which can be removed by ad blockers. That is, if you're still using Google search...

Had a cat, OR toddlers.

Interesting. Didn't know this was a feature. How does the filter work? Completely hides comments/posts containing the keyword?

Or does it do something like Steam does by turning every letter into a ♥?

I tried to add the word "swipe" to the filter list, but I can still see the other 2 comments on this post along with the word "swipe".

A very useful video that explains what Quantum Internet is... and what it isn't:

TL/DW: A big misconception here has to do with Quantum entanglement. Quantum Entanglement in Quantum Internet doesn't mean that you can transfer data at speeds faster than light.

It's true that this connection would be "ultra secure" but this would be very inefficient (slow) and it wouldn't be reliable in a noisy environment. It would probably be most useful for some sort of authentication protocol/key sharing.

Feel free to educate us instead of just saying the equivalent of "you're wrong and I hate reading comments like yours".

But I think, in general, the alteration to Section 230 that they are proposing makes sense as a way to keep these companies in check for practices like shadowbanning especially if those tools are abused for political purposes.

I agree, but it's one thing if I post to public places like Lemmy or Reddit and it gets scraped.

It's another thing if my private DMs or private channels are being scraped and put into a database that will most likely get outsourced for prepping the data for training.

Not only that, but the trained model will have internal knowledge of things that are sure to give anxiety to any cyber security experts. If users know how to manipulate the AI model, they could cause the model to divulge some of that information.

Take your pick, feel free to mix and match or add on to the list.

Can you provide some context for this? Which petition is this about?
