  How is that relevant to anything I’ve said.

  Thank you, I found it - just commenting on how entirely unhelpful this article was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Denuvo has been broken, company promises countermeasures against new DRM bypasses — zero-day game releases become norm as security concerns mount over hypervisor-based bypass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct but irrelevant to what I’ve said, which is that the performance impact of Denuvo is usually minimal. There’s a couple of very bad cases that got a lot of publicity but there’s boatloads of Denuvo games running fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Denuvo has been broken, company promises countermeasures against new DRM bypasses — zero-day game releases become norm as security concerns mount over hypervisor-based bypass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There is 0 details on specifics of how Denuvo was broken. Article goes into detail why Denuvo is bad and not much more (which is also debatable because vast majority of Denuvo implementations do not cause performance impact).

  Yeah, I don’t think reddit is about to enforce biometric passkeys on every user because they likely want to stay in business for a bit longer.

  What ZKPs don’t do is mitigate verifier abuse or limit their requests, such as over-asking for information they don’t need or limiting the number of times they request your age over time.

  API rate limits exist.

  They don’t prevent websites or applications from collecting other kinds of observable personally identifiable information like your IP address or other device information while interacting with them.

  Exactly like the lady at 7-11.

  1. There are ways to do things anonymously while preserving actual checks against a central database, like with zero-knowledge proof.
  2. There’s a living person doing that check, which isn’t super practical for things online. Do I go to the nearest 7-11 to confirm my Pornhub login?

  Nobody needs to collect your ID when they sell you alcohol but they need to see it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CNN: Republicans release AI deepfake of James Talarico as phony videos proliferate in midterm races⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s pretty well established that people upvote primarily what they like and agree with. I would like it to be different but most people like it that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CNN: Republicans release AI deepfake of James Talarico as phony videos proliferate in midterm races⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Amount of upvotes and comments in that thread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CNN: Republicans release AI deepfake of James Talarico as phony videos proliferate in midterm races⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Liberals fall for different kinds of deepfakes.

  Here’s an example of a deepfake research paper that’s being circulated on Fediverse, Reddit etc: https://lemmy.zip/post/60720377

  Calling it out for being AI generated was met with a mixed response too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LLM output isn’t „correct unless proven wrong”, nothing ever is. It’s that there was no human effort involved and the technology won’t be ever reliable enough to trust it with research work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, because those sources weren’t read by a human. They could state one thing while the LLM hallucinates another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would I make this effort if the autor likely didn’t? If they did all the required research they wouldn’t need an LLM in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like I was right. Why repost this? I don’t believe this was ever truly reviewed by a human and Lemmy users won’t do it since most won’t read past the headline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An investigation of the forces behind the age-verification bills⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was written by an LLM, wasn’t it?

  1. There’s nothing mandatory about those apps. Facebook and Pornhub are optional and the more friction in using them won’t hurt. All I’m saying is that massive platforms that allow a massive reach need to verify that their users are who they claim to be. I don’t think it should apply to small forums like Lemmy. Making people spread into smaller communities would be an added benefit.
  2. There is no invasion of privacy if zero knowledge proof protocol is used to verify that user is a national and not underage because nobody needs to know any other data points. Phone and internet are not human rights.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One has to weight what has a higher societal cost and if one has a choice at all if we want our societies to survive. Participation in big tech social media and watching porn is not a human right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Plenty of EU countries have digital ID apps already and provide services like signing documents using that ID. Adding something like zero-knowledge proof with passkeys-like UI probably isn’t that much harder than putting people on the moon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropic releases new AI Constitution for Claude⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FOMO - buy into world-changing technology or be left out completely. Doesn’t have to be very well thought out when media and politicians create an atmosphere of this being inevitable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropic releases new AI Constitution for Claude⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Claude’s nature. In this section, we express our uncertainty about whether Claude might have some kind of consciousness or moral status (either now or in the future). We discuss how we hope Claude will approach questions about its nature, identity, and place in the world.

  Fucking clowns insinuating that an LLM is conscious again so that clueless investors pump some more cash to burn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Consulting as a business is fundamentally flawed. Big4 generally send people without real world experience but equipped with lots of current buzzwords. There’s only so much you can do without being truly embedded in a company and the fact that consultants rarely bear any responsibility for their advice means they don’t care about outcomes that much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m fairly sure PWC isn’t exactly impartial here. Consulting firms have been battered by AI. LLMs are about as good at consulting as 30-year olds in suits which is a big risk for them.
