What’s the difference between one technology you don’t understand (AI engine-assisted ) and another you don’t understand (human-staffed radiology laboratory)?

The difference is that people think they understand AI. Even here in this thread, there are people confusing this for an LLM.

Your TV doesn’t need a screensaver. You can just… turn it off.

The data used to configure it.

I don’t understand why it’s so hard to sandbox an LLM’s configuration data from it’s training data.

This article spent more time explaining the logistics on building pager-bombs than it did actually explaining why building pager-bombs is a bad idea.

I think generally, assistive devices like Hawking’s wheelchair/speech synth wouldn’t qualify one for the title of “cyborg”, since they’re replacing lost/damaged functionality, and didn’t grant him any abilities not already available to the average person. Whereas Harbisson’s modification is giving him additional abilities that he didn’t previously have and are outside of the typical human experience.

Mozilla Foundation (the non-profit) and Mozilla Corporation (the for-profit) are two different entities under the Mozilla umbrella, so their staffing may be reported differently depending where you look and how they’re counting it.

Mozilla is a small company

I’m surprised that people consider a ~2000-person company that revenues about a half billion a year to be “small”. Mozilla is a profit-driven corporation, far separated from the vision of the hobbyist coders who founded it decades ago. The only reason they’re shutting down their Mastodon server is because it’s not making them money, not because they lack the resources to support it.

In the fine print, you’ll see it says “wheel is for illustrative purposes only, all users will receive the best prize”.

Perfect, just in time to stop Russia from meddling with the 2016 election!

I’m sure absolutely nobody will confuse this with Tildes.

Outside of our very small internet bubble, yes that’s an incredibly unpopular opinion. By and large, people love Twitter, as evidenced by it still being one of the most-used platforms around.

All the more reason it doesn’t need to be on the internet.

From my bedroom, right this moment, there are four unsecured networks I can connect to, which I do not own or control.

This is not an uncommon scenario.

Neighbors, bro. You can’t control networks you don’t own.

Are you really this obtuse, or is this just an act?

Some people live in apartments.

I’ll be real, I think this is more of a problem with Fandom than Google. Fandom has been abusing the fuck out of their SEO lately, and manage to push their shitty site to the top results on almost any fiction media-related search you do now.

Yeah, Google’s AI got the preview wrong, but it probably wouldn’t have happened if Fandom wasn’t constantly injecting themselves into every single search. They allow users to post anything they want, without any vetting, and then push those inaccurate posts to the search engines.

Half the time, the page on Fandom is a 100% copy/paste of the page from Wikipedia, except with a thousand ads littering the page. Guess which one shows up first in the search results, though?

I’m using the current-day usage of the term, but I think you knew that.

I’ve worked in tech for 20 years. Luddites are quite common in this field.
