Yep, updated the title. Hard to not get conspiratorial though when it affects subs like /r/transgender_surgeries... might be testing the waters.

Until these starts getting used on a broader scale, I'm not convinced these are not schemes to funnel more investment money into their companies. The examples are really short, probably made after I don't know how many attempts, and probably very limited in what poses and/or actions they can show. I'm so tired of the LLM hype in general.

This is why I don't browse "all".

If you don't read the article, this sounds worse than it is. I think this is the important part:

ChatGPT's persuasion performance is still short of the 95th percentile that OpenAI would consider "clear superhuman performance," a term that conjures up images of an ultra-persuasive AI convincing a military general to launch nuclear weapons or something. It's important to remember, though, that this evaluation is all relative to a random response from among the hundreds of thousands posted by everyday Redditors using the ChangeMyView subreddit. If that random Redditor's response ranked as a "1" and the AI's response ranked as a "2," that would be considered a success for the AI, even though neither response was all that persuasive.

OpenAI's current persuasion test fails to measure how often human readers were actually spurred to change their minds by a ChatGPT-written argument, a high bar that might actually merit the "superhuman" adjective. It also fails to measure whether even the most effective AI-written arguments are persuading users to abandon deeply held beliefs or simply changing minds regarding trivialities like whether a hot dog is a sandwich.

It did not. It's still here: https://fedia.io/m/Resist. Might be a problem with federation between Lemmy and Mbin?

Oh wow, super interesting

I've been self-hosting Actual as an alternative to YNAB and I'm completely sold. It's really great, especially with bank account syncing activated. If you like envelope based budgeting I'd definitely go with Actual.

When you torrent you can only connect to peers that have open ports, if your ports are closed. Which means it makes it a lot harder to upload if you rely on private trackers and maintaining a good ratio. One can still download and upload, but for especially older torrents it has a good chance to affect your speeds and ability to download.

This is to be honest a huge barrier for me.

If Mullvad only allowed port forwarding...

NMS is great! A fun, casual game to relax with for sure

Agreed on all points!

Lol. An e-Reader was actually one of the best purchases I've done. Started reading waaaay more than before. Also great that one can start digesting all those old out-of-copyright ebooks from like standardebooks.org, on a screen that resembles paper. I can never read a book on an ordinary screen.

I recommend MComix for reading on Linux. I only use it on the PC, but nonetheless it's great.

Yeah if the library supports Overdrive, it's possible. I've used it and it seemed to work fine.

If one doesn't want telemetry etc being sent to Rakuten.

I think the person asked for e-ink device recommendations. Reading on an Android vs e-ink screen makes such a huge difference

No ads. Easy to buy. It you're really concerned about privacy, just flash KOReader on it which is an alternative backend. The easier alternative is to never connect to the WiFi and manually transfer ePubs to the device through Calibre.

Buy a Kobo, never connect it to WiFi. Or flash KOReader on it. Either way much better than the alternatives.

I ran Qwant by Alibaba locally, and these censorship constraints were still included there. Is it not the same with DeepSeek?
