Matrix is almost there but the last bit might make chat impossible to be federated. And i say this as a matrix user and a server maintainer.
"Instant messaging" is a service with high demand. When all servers are in one location or have high bandwidth pipes between them its not much of an issue. But once you have a group chat with people on instances all over the place, some running on Raspberry Pis...you might as well be running an email mailing list.
Well sort of. If you never talked about dating for instance, and you then started taking to the AI about dating it may not put two and two together to get that it relates to sex. It wouldn't be able to infer anything about the topic as it only knows what the statistically most likely next word is.
That's what i feel like most people don't get. Even uploading years and years of your own text will only match your writing style and the very specific things you've said about specific topics. That why the writers strike is kind of dumb. This form of AI wont invent new stories, just rehash old ones.
Unfortunately this setup will only get you to a very rudimentary match to your writing style and only copying from text you've already written. New subjects or topics you did not feed it won't show up. What you'd get is a machine that would be a caricature of you. A mimic.
Its not until the AI can actually identify the topics you prompt, make decisions based on what views and how they relate to the topic that you'll have an interesting copy of yourself. For example if you were to ask it for something new you should cook today PrivateGPT would only list things you current stated you liked. It would not be able to know the style of food, the flavors and then make a guess as to something else that fits that same taste.
American Dad up to the point that Seth stopped writing for it and then I restart. It is one of my background noise shows. King of the Hill is the filler cartoon to not start the loop instantly.
Star Trek TNG and TOS for scifi
Oh and i watch Forensic Files enough that i can typically remember who did it within the intro. Similar to the original Law and Order.
That was kind of my thought. When the systems only exist with collectors and garage sales running roms on emulators feels like an acceptable position. You don't make the games so you aren't losing out on sales. But charging $20-40USD for a SNES remake...idk feels ridiculous.
I still MUD on the server I started back in the mid 90s. I don't play enough or really that good at it. I'm basically one of the oldest accounts with the least XP. But it's still fun.
Sure there are differences but my question was really about what the new problem they are trying to solve. The local storage of your identity seems to he that big thing and I wonder who was asking for this. Seems like more of a nuisance than anything else, having to manage that data yourself.
I don't think any of the post is right. I have read the Bible cover to cover a couple of times. And it is very much not non-fiction. Maybe OP hasn't read it and didn't know.
So it was 1995, and a new version of Windows came out. Sadly it didnt run on our 486 so we upgraded to a new computer with a Pentium processor (a week before the Pentium Pro was released). My parents got their new machine and i was left with with Windows 3.11.
A friend of mine from school, a few years older, had just come back from a computer show down in Green Bay with a box fully of floppy disks (like 70). That weekend i brought my computer over to his house along with a few other friends and we all installed Slackware. At that point we were all using the Universe of Wisconsin's dialup service and were able to get online, do some Gopher, IRC and MUDing.
The only other time i ran a non *nix OS would be when work gave me a Windows machine or when I was gaming (Quake, Ultima Online). Otherwise it has been Linux and BSDs since 95
Which issue are they trying to solve? The censoring and control issue goes away with federated systems but there is the cost of having a running network. The corporate networks charge you the fee of personal info so it doesn't cost actually money.
In all honesty the biggest issue I see is that social media eventually leads to us seeing what most of society is really like... boring, bigoted and stupid. This exists everywhere, it's only that smaller networks like Lemmy just dont have the numbers to make those issues be so prominent.
I had a Palm IIIe, and a couple Handspring Treos including the thin all aluminum one and a Compaq PDA that took full sized PCMCIA cards where i connected an Orinoco Silver Ethernet card. Also got a Nokia linux PDA, can't remember the model, and sadly it was too slow.
DVD recorder i got off of Woot back when they were a good service. CD player that was the size of a VHS. A VHS player while my best friend had BetaMax. Oh and one of those Toshiba rear projection big screen TVs.
No webtv or 3d.
Tons of Pis
AnonRadio on sdf.org. i have old time radio playing at home over Ice cast and mpd which also connected to VPN so i can stream stuff from anywhere.
I meant in the opposite direction. If I teach an elephant to paint and then show him a Picasso and he paints something like it am I the one violating copyright law? I think currently there is no explicit laws about this type of situation but if there was a case to be made MY intent would be the major factor.
The 3rd party copying we see laws around are human driven intent to make exact replicas. Photocopy machines, Cassette/VHS/DVD duplication software/hardware, Faxes, etc. We have personal private fair use laws but all of this about humans using tools to make near exact replicas.
The law needs to catch up to the concept of a human creating something that then goes out and makes non replica output triggered by someone other than the tool's creator. I see at least 3 parties in this whole process:
AI developer creating the system
AI teacher feeding it learning data
AI consumer creating the prompt
If the data fed to the AI was all gathered by legal means, lets say scanned library books, who is in violation if the content output were to violate copyright laws?
