Remember they’re doing this so that they can detect it themselves. I’m far from an expert, so maybe I’m misunderstanding something but the way I understand it, they’d be defeating their own tool if they go down this route. If they cycle the logit biases, how can they themselves detect if a random piece of text is generated? Which set of biases do they test?

At the end of the day, you’re talking about raw text. There’s no option to sign it, or embed metadata or anything like that. You can’t even guarantee that you’re seeing the complete sample, or even a single sample! If there is a fingerprint, it’ll be detectable to anyone, and it’ll be easily removed.

Ye, it’ll stop the casual abuse for all of 5 minutes. There are already tools to obscure the use of AI and, as you say, it won’t take much to update them.

I used uGet on windows, and it was fairly smooth. Not google, but an equally annoying large download. I believe it’s on Linux as well.

Ye, that’d be sick! and that’s also not what was being sold! this fridge did none of that. What exactly made it “AI” I didn’t bother to find out, but I work in IT. I guarantee it wasn’t this. Also, not convinced I want my fridge to be able to spend my money for me. I want to be able to have a Ramen month if I need/want

what’s the affordable option for daytime viewing with the curtains open?

Now THIS I could get behind! Still not AI though. it’s a very dumb timer system that would be very useful. 1950’s tech could do this!

I think you’re being sarcastic, but I unironically agree. Cars and fridges can, and should stay dumb, with the notable exception of battery management systems in electric vehicles. That’s the single acceptable use case for a car IMHO.

someone tried to sell me a fucking AI fridge the other day. Why the fuck would I want my fridge to “learn my habits?” I don’t even like my phone “learning my habits!”

It’s estimated to be around 66% of the global population, or 5.35b people… so $186.92 per person

To be fair, none of that was in your original post. Not knowing all of that, I think it was a safe assumption you meant the allegations of mistreatment by the CCP, rather than the Falun Gong claims of benevolence.

Obviously you didn’t though, and a quick Google search suggests you might have some valid points. I didn’t know any of that!

However, I do want to point out that you could say most of the same things about fundamental Christians, and while I’d personally take the same view of those types ( I do believe they’re a dangerous cult) I wouldn’t say anyone calling them peaceful religious types was engaging in “Alex Jones level of manipulation of the truth” and wouldn’t discount them entirely for holding that view. Particularly when, as you say, it’s very likely they are actually being persecuted

But hey, if nothing else I think you’ve shown that I have no idea what I’m talking about here. Maybe that comparison doesn’t actually hold. Also, for all I know he’s a bought and paid for propagandist. Honestly, nothing surprises me these days

I don’t think what he’s saying about Falun Gong is so far fetched to be outside the realm of plausibility.

There’s been enough reports of similar treatment of other groups, like the Uyghurs and Tibetans, from reputable sources that I believe something is going on there.

As for sources, if the CCP is half as bad as he makes them out to be, it would be irresponsible of him to give sources.

I don’t know enough to refute anything you’ve said, but frankly you’re less credible than him right now. I mean no offense but you have a single comment on your account and you’ve offered nothing to support your claim of twisted truth.

Too much smoke to conclude there’s no fire

I suspect it’s actually worse there. This guy has a series called “China fakes everything” which is worth watching

it looks like Fusion 360 runs fine on Linux

I can assure you, it does not.

Do not switch to Linux and expect this project to save you, it is NOT beginner friendly.

It’s great, and I’m sure someone smarter than me could probably get it working, but personally, I failed miserably and switched to OnShape.

Greece re-introduces the 6 day work week… It used to be the standard. Y’know, in the 18th fucking century

I’d say it’s because Apple’s implementation isn’t essentially spyware at it’s core. The Microsoft implementation was straight up deranged and dangerous, frankly.

“Winamp, it really whips the llama’s ass”

I… partially agree? There’s a bit of a difference between the targeted tracking a private individual does with an airtag, vs the generalized, but equally creepy tracking google/apple/others do through widespread tech. One definitely poses a greater short term risk than the other

They should take it literally, because it is meant literally!

They’re not exploiting customers, they are exploiting people. Those people are NOT their customers.

Facebook is literally selling people in data form. Everything you post, everyone you interact with, everything you look at across most of the web (not just facebook.com) is all catalogued and used to create a fingerprint that is a digital representation of you, and that is their product! “Essence of /u/Melt for sale here”

Their customers are advertisers.

ETA: Link

those running Facebook groups routinely find that their content isn’t even being shown to those who choose to follow them thanks to Meta’s outright abusive approach to social media where the customer is not only wrong, but should ideally have little control over what they see.

inhales deeply YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER!!! YOU ARE THE PRODUCT!!!

It astounds me how many people STILL don’t understand this

I prefer flipping that number on it’s head. 15%. They delivered 15% of what they promised and are now saying “fuck it.”

It’s the equivalent of writing your name on the exam, and then sitting there doodling for the rest of the time.
