• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix is starting to phase out its cheapest ad-free plan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These things are so frustrating, because it’s so clearly inevitable, but so many people always insist it won’t happen. Again and again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe overhauls terms of service to say it won’t train AI on customers’ work⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeesh, they really dove into that with both feet eh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe overhauls terms of service to say it won’t train AI on customers’ work⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Was that the concern, though? I thought the controversy was that they intended to moderate people’s projects. Or did they walk that back too once they renounced the reason for that policy (I.e., training AI)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too”⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You absolutely aren’t wrong there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too”⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Always in favour of healthy competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Micro LED monitors connect like puzzle pieces in HP multi-monitor concept⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if that’s the case, we can do flexible micro LED panels, I imagine it wouldn’t be a stretch to integrate that here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI products like ChatGPT much hyped but not much used, study says⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To address your last point, there have been continual improvements in making LLMs more efficient as well. While I definitely couldn’t run GPT4 on my local machine, I can get decently close to something like 3.5-turbo, which would’ve been unheard of only a year or two ago.

  And from the sounds of it, GPT-4o is another big step in efficiency (though it’s hard to say for certain).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senate study proposes 'at least' $32B yearly for AI programs⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would you rather the USA fall behind on what is likely to be one of the biggest global industries of the 2020s?

  Like, it’s totally cool if the answer is yes, but like… AI is a big deal whether we like it or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla finds that most dating apps are not great guardians of user data⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems obvious, but just like any obvious fact, it’s good to have data to back it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds reiterates his tabs-versus-spaces stance with a kernel trap⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That said, I do think a lot of newbies think it’s “Tabs”, which fuels a not-insignificant portion of this debate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT License text becomes viral “sad girl” piano ballad generated by AI⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mildly infuriating that the song cuts off before the end, but good otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's surprisingly difficult for AI to create just a plain white image⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely. Hearing the way people interact with LLMs as if they are an all-knowing AGI is honestly a bit terrifying at times. Hopefully the longer these systems are in the mainstream, the better people get a sense of the boundaries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's surprisingly difficult for AI to create just a plain white image⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely worth noting, yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never in a million years would I buy always-online trash when I could just use Home Assistant and control my devices locally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's surprisingly difficult for AI to create just a plain white image⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually surprisingly difficult to ask for an absence of anything, since the training data doesn’t normally include what isn’t in the image.

  I think they call it the Giraffe Problem or something like that. If you ask an AI for “an image containing no giraffes,” you’ll end up with a bunch of giraffes. It’s all about how the training data is tagged.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Michael Cohen loses court motion after lawyer cited AI-invented cases⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how the judge would react if a lawyer just blatantly made up cases to back their argument. Whatever punishment - or lack thereof - for that should apply the same here, imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Formula 1 chief appalled to find team using Excel to manage 20,000 car parts⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally fine as long as they don’t have 1,048,577 parts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Michael Cohen loses court motion after lawyer cited AI-invented cases⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s crazy to me that punishments aren’t being doled out in these cases. Like, this strikes me as more than a simple “oopsie.” This is gross negligence at best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The AI wars heat up with Claude 3, claimed to have “near-human” abilities⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They all claim to have “near-human” abilities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Dune: Part Two’ First Reactions: Rave Reviews Topped By Critic Who Claims, “It’s The Definitive Sci-Fi Epic Of A Generation”⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m heckin’ excited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We have seen 20 minutes of 'Dune II' with Villeneuve and we have good news: the expectation is more than justified⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This, but unironically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way to see user likes and dislikes on lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ouch, that sounds like a painful way to live. I’m sorry to hear that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dune Part Two Character Posters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, Feyd really do be looking like Feyd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do we think of greenpeace activists?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends - who is the “we” in the question?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make myself smarter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Possibly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make myself smarter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude,I don’t mean to be rude, but you might legitimately need to see a therapist. This sounds worryingly like schizophrenia to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i open⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to use Foxit for the longest time, but Firefox’s pdf reader has improved so much lately that I actually prefer it.
