  • What the article finds worrisome about this is that it is a "hobbyist in a garage" building what's essential a voice activated and commanded killing machine. They are concerned because it is not "a government lab" or similar. Nobody should be doing this, but okay.

  • One possibility - they were trained on the same data sets and as a result return the same results because what they do is predict the most likely next word or words, statistically based on their training data.

    Possibility two - They are sharing data sets outside the public eye.

    Possibility three - Each of these LLM's is stealing from the other in real time (sending your prompt to other LlM"s and see what they report back and adding it to the list it drew up).

    Possibility four - Someone at one or both of these companies is a double agent.

    Here's a question. Did you prompt these LLM's with the same prompt multiple times? Or just one each?

  • The plan is to rehire them back temporarily to babysit the AI and fix all the AI generated crap. Then realize it was cheaper to actually just have the devs make code. Then hire them back at a reduced rate on a more permanent basis with the understanding that they believe the code will still be partially generated by AI and cleaned up by the same people and they aren't paying top tier for third hand AI slop.

  • Be warned that it's big. The screen is beautiful and I really like that aspect of it, but I'm more comfortable with the ROG Ally x because of the size. That being said, I have small hands and I know others didn't have this problem with it.

  • We made the outdoors a pay to play hellscape. Where do you want them to interact socially? This isn't directed at you despite what it says. It's directed at the part of the article you quoted.

    Edit: I also wanted to add that social media just highlights and streamlines the problems with the way people socially interact and affect each other and it does so using algorithms to re-enforce dependency. I'm certainly not saying social media isn't addictive or harmful. But that these problems are exacerbated by social media and actually exist even in a world without it, just with a much shorter reach.

  • It would also affect kids in general who only really get social interaction in places like video games. People seem to think video game platforms won't be affected (or don't think about them at all), but I got a lot of social interaction that way as a teen.

  • This makes me wonder if ad blockers, pi-holes, and DNS blocking is going further to protect people than some of us thought. It's interesting to me because while I don't use most of the apps on this list, I do occasionally browse Tumblr (my sister sends me links from there frequently enough).

    https://pxlnv.com/linklog/gravy-analytics-leaked/ The 404 media article is paid members only and wired is also asking for money to view this article (for me).

    Edit: I found a list of apps that are related to Gravy Analytics and it totals in just over 12 thousand apps. Lots of them are freeware BS, but the fact that any of them are mainstream is ridiculous.

  • The problem with blocking is this. It's not a communally accepted part of any website. Here's what I mean by that. Lots of websites say they allow you to block people. What they mean is they allow you to mute people. This can mean something as simple as you can still see their posts but you can't interact (but they can see and interact with your posts (upvote/downvote etc), but can't talk to you. That's problematic. I feel like a block should mean block. I. E. The web host or platform completely isolated you from one another so that it appears on the user side of things as if you never existed. But that's problematic too. On Lemmy, if I block someone I lose all post history related to that section of the post where the interaction took place. I can't go back to my own comments. I cannot see my own comments.

    Then there's the problem of block or mute lists having a finite number. If you have a ten year old account somewhere and you have been muting or blocking people for all ten of those years, eventually you will run out of available space on the block list and there's no good way to purge the list. You very often can't back it up, can't auto purge accounts that are dead or no longer in use, can't even generally see if the people you blocked are still active in a way that insulates and protects you.

    If the goal is to suppress speech that implies that the person/entity doing the suppression is in a position of authority and not following the will of their constituency. So if a mod gets hundreds of reports about a post or comment, some action is warranted because the community is speaking out against it.

    That's important to what we're talking about here.

  • I don't hate it, but as someone who's had to pick up and move repeatedly it's just too much stuff. I buy digital books (would buy digital movies if buying them was actually buying them), and did buy digital music when buying it was actually buying it (back in the days of Google play music when you actually could just do whatever you wanted with the tracks you bought so long as you downloaded them).

    I think part of what people are neglecting to understand is the digital media is physically stored somewhere. It's not just out there in a cloud. It has to be maintained just like physical media does. Don't store a cassette/VHS tape properly and it won't be around for a long time. It's honestly the same with CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray. I'm sure it was the case with 8tracks and Mini discs, and so on too. When the medium through which that media is housed goes, so does the media.

    This discussion is pretty interesting to me because the only reason a lot of people seem to be against digital media is their view of how the license for it differs from the license for physical media. It's the same license but one of them gives the company licensing the media more control than the other and that's what people don't like. If companies would stop taking things people paid for from them, this wouldn't be an issue.

  • COD - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (RICHOCHET).

    Paladins - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (EAC).

    GTA V - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).

    Destiny 2 - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).

    This is the fault of the developers themselves not making those games compatible with Steam OS, and has nothing to do with Steam or Linux and everything to do with the developers themselves. So, if you're going to play the blame game, blame the correct people.

    I don't know about VR in Linux, but it looks like the other people in this thread have me covered on that and they have explained in detail what's going on there.

    I've been in this space since the original steam machines. You either have no idea what it was like 10+ years ago with Linux gaming, or you're being willfully ignorant and not finding out anything about what's going on now and you're salty for reasons I don't know and don't care about. Do not at me. I don't care what you have to say if all you're going to do is be sardonic and caustic. You have a nice day.

  • If you're using encryption you probably don't have much to worry about. The main problem is so many people don't bother to encrypt their chats and make the assumption that their chats are encrypted. Yes, I think the default should be encryption turned on. But I also think this is user error, so.

  • My complaint wasn't sharing data with law enforcement. It was more about whether or not they should be moderating their platform and banning accounts that intentionally violate the policy. I don't necessarily have a problem with them sharing information with the police when it's warranted and there is a credible threat, because nobody should be using something to plan to bomb a restaurant or sports game. But the arguments that I have seen (and made) were pretty much "yeah, you shouldn't be allowed to plan to kill people on this platform with no moderation, especially when the chats aren't even encrypted".

    Even back when the CEO got arrested most of Lemmy was crying foul on that and a lot of comments I saw got downvoted for siding with the 'police state ".
