I mean… they didn’t specify it had to be random (or even uniform)? But yeah, it’s a good showcase of how GPT acquired the same biases as people, from people…

No state, no country, fake town, fake street, fake account, fake website. Fuck off.

The author does have a way with words lol. I love this paragraph in particular, emphasis mine:

As we speak, the battle that platforms are fighting is against generative spam, a cartoonish and obvious threat of outright nonsense, meaningless chum that can and should (and likely will) be stopped. In the process, they’re failing to see that this isn’t a war against spam, but a war against crap, and the overall normalization and intellectual numbing that comes when content is created to please algorithms and provide a minimum viable product for consumers. Google’s “useless” results problem isn’t one borne of content that has no meaning, but of content that only sort of helps, that is the “right” result but doesn’t actually provide any real thought behind it, like the endless “how to fix error code X” results full of well-meaning and plausibly helpful content that doesn’t really help at all.

And he describes exactly what I have to deal with on the regular, “content that only sort of helps” that “steals your attention from the content you actually want.” Even moving from Google to DDG has only mitigated this problem, it hasn’t fully gone away.

But yeah, one of his conclusions seems to be the Death of the Hyperlink? Which, I mean, not even LLM’s can kill that. I doubt <a href is going away any time soon.

The author pretty freely admits he shares some blame, having PII on the same phone he uses Lemmy, using Lemmy while not paying attention/being half asleep. I’m sure he does know better and agrees with your statement. And yet, when mistakes happen and people prove to be fallible, Lemmy proves it is not capable of handling the problem.

I also can’t believe the Lemmy developers would be so indignant about being presented with such an oversight. GDPR or no GDPR, federated to other servers or not, the idea of PII being hard/impossible to delete from a social media platform is an embarrassment to the developers.

No

There are far more important facets to truthfulness and semantics than yes/no questions. If this is the only way you evaluate LLM’s, you will quickly fall for confirmation bias.

Locked out of hotel rooms

How does that happen? Concierge assumes you’re not the person on the booking?

Whoever came up with that stupid idea needs their computer privileges revoked for the rest of their life.

Wish granted: that person is now the CEO of AdSense and has a dozen EA’s to handle their computer for them.

Thank you for your thoroughly analytical take on the subject. Solid points all around.

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn’t have thought they meant Android source code but that makes sense lol. Also this is the kind of reply I think OP would have appreciated more than just someone saying “you’re wrong, you must have done something wrong.”

Case in point, Ernest had to take a month off kbin development to handle things in his personal life. I, too, have abandoned open source projects due to lack of interest. I think people incorrectly assume that the internet offers a level of permanence unmatched by real life, when in fact it only highlights the ethereal nature of anything people build.

Oh man those animations, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice how slow they were. Turning them off helped increase the speed of navigation, but there’s still some delay when tapping the DM’s bottom bar item specifically. App settings are also in a super unintuitive place now.

Presumably this comment. OP has some back and forth which I can’t see for myself because it was deleted.

So yes: I can possibly know and I have literally read the source code.

Discord, to my knowledge, is closed source, and has not had a source code leak. So taking your word for it, if you’ve seen Discord’s source code, then you work for Discord?

Did Discord hire Google’s laid off UX designers or something? Jesus Christ.

It was disabled for me.

Stranger still, the other screenshot you posted did have the “Allow contacts to add me” checkbox checked, but it only appears when you tap “Add Friends.” When you leave that screen and return, the checkbox is always checked. It makes me think it’s a setting solely applicable to that screen, like just for the “Find Friends” button, and not to your profile as a whole. IDK if that even makes sense.

I thought it might have to do with this but I could be wrong.

RODE Mini USB. Might be a little more than $50 but it’s completely plug and play, no drivers needed, great quality.

Removing the Like button means you can’t be Ratio’d anymore, even compared to the comments of your detractors. That means vile, unpopular opinions will no longer be identifiable by the lack of likes. They get to stand on equal footing with popular opinions, with the average person none the wiser. Also, advertisements take one more step to being indistinguishable from organic posts.

Homogenizing content on Twitter supports Musk’s two two main allies (or people he wishes were his ally): advertisers and fascists.
