One way or another I'm moving to Linux for my next PC. but damn I finally think I understand enough to decide Debian would be a good 'it just works' distro and then Linux users out the woodwork telling me its actually a pain in the ass and to use XYZ (all disagreeing) distros instead. I'm like 90% sure its going to be Debian, Ubuntu or Mint but beyond that its more uncertain than the inside of a black hole.

With physical media those licenses didn't materially matter though because a contract you can't read until after a purchase is automatically void in court.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

CheeseNoodle ,

I feel like the 'Jarvis assistant' is most likely going to be a much simpler siri type thing with a very restricted chatbot overlay. And then there will be the open source assistant that just exist to help you sort through the bullshit generated by other chatbots.

CheeseNoodle ,

Its worse than reddit, they've been pulling data from the onion.

CheeseNoodle ,

Its been quoting some onion articles verbatim, so either they pulled from the onion directly or from somewhere that re-posts onion articles.

CheeseNoodle ,

Honestly thats my plan, subtly adjust all my buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo comments to induce stupid behaviour in any AI thats trained on them

CheeseNoodle ,

chatto gpt?

CheeseNoodle ,

So we should all start ending our comments with a randomly generated string of words to fuck with the models?

stork, fridge, tiger, animal, mineral, oxtail, oil, clouds

CheeseNoodle ,

I mean they're not wrong, we already have encryption algorithms resistant to quantumn computers.

CheeseNoodle ,

We just need to make sure they require manual refuelling and we'll be fine... so we're totally going to design them to refuel autonomously.

CheeseNoodle ,

It still emitted more carbon more to build than most people will emit in their lifetime, kinda like burning the house down but telling everyone its ok because you saved the shed.

CheeseNoodle ,

'Company that made bank deliberately flouting zoning, renting and subleting laws claims it was all an accident'

CheeseNoodle ,

I think you'd still need more size to account for longer strides and standing jumps.

CheeseNoodle ,

Laying down is a legitimate point, would have to make sure clothes can't get caught in it.

CheeseNoodle ,

Instead of murderous AI it just covers every connected screen in adverts for raid shadow legends.

CheeseNoodle ,

The beurocracy must expand to meet the increasing needs of the growing beurocracy.

CheeseNoodle ,

I don't mind ads in the sidebar or on that little banner across the bottom of the screen sometimes. Its when the ads completely cover the content I'm trying to watch/view and/or start auto playing at obnoxious volume that I get annoyed. (Also fuck people on metered connections right?)

CheeseNoodle ,

Scotland is just not bike friendly, our 'cycle lanes' are just a thin often mostly worn away white line painted on a road of normal width (Which for americans is already way narrower than your roads) and trying to actually cycle on them is tantamount to attempted suicide.

CheeseNoodle ,

Government spending 101:
Paying private sector rates? unnafordable!
Paying a private company who pays their employees those same private sector rates plus a huge margin on top? totally reasonable!

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I've enjoyed Mark Rober's videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn't sitting right with me...

CheeseNoodle ,

Integzas pretty great too, Lots of on screen trial and error and explaining thought processes.

CheeseNoodle ,

Also battery life, You can give a human a couple of sandwiches and they'll go all day, the robot probably needs a 20kg battery and still won't go more than 8 hours without charging. Its actually one of the kind of mindblowing things about organic systems, A whole human body runs on less power than just the control unit for one of these robots (assuming its similar to a mid range laptop) let alone the motors.

CheeseNoodle ,

Its based on a rough calculation, a humans energy consumption averages to about a 126w supply, a mid range laptop uses about 150w. Admitedly a humans energy consumption is going to change a lot moment to moment but then so is the robots.

CheeseNoodle ,

Nah its based on a 2000kcal/day person, there's a still a lot of caveats sure like the person has to sleep but considering we're comparing to literally just the robots brain a human is way more efficient.

CheeseNoodle ,

I see it as trying to combat the dystopia where not only is our data scraped but now every single thing we write, draw or film is fed into an AI that will ultimately be used to create huge amounts of wealth for very few, essentially monetizing our very existence online in a way thats entierly unavoidable and without consent.

In addition its entierly one way, google and others can grab as much of our data as they want while most of us would have an extremely hard time even getting granted a freedom of information request about ourselves, let alone grabbing a similar amount of data about those same corporations.

CheeseNoodle ,

Some is also produced by the decay of heavy elements (helium too)

CheeseNoodle ,

You know every time I think I understand enough about Linux to consider moving over an innocent post like this sets me back to square one.

CheeseNoodle ,

You do this every morning to try and imprint the behaviour, when you get back all thats changed is almost all land dwelling life is now nocturnal because the proto lung fish learned to come out at night.

Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

CheeseNoodle ,

And then circles get convictions so even if the model did somehow start off completely unbiassed people are going to start feeding it data that weighs towards finding more circles since a prosecution will be used as a 'success' to feed back into the model and 'improve' it.

CheeseNoodle ,

I've heard the argument for this but I suspect that humans don't have domesticated traits, its that domestication imbunes animals with human social traits. Which makes sense since the whole point is to make them get along with us.

Google will start showing AI-powered search results to users who didn't opt in (www.engadget.com)

If you're in the US, you might see a new shaded section at the top of your Google Search results with a summary answering your inquiry, along with links for more information. That section, generated by Google's generative AI technology, used to appear only if you've opted into the Search Generative Experience(SGE) in the Search...

CheeseNoodle ,

This is how google starts telling people that brawndo is what plants crave.

CheeseNoodle ,

Aren't local ISPs essentially banned in a lot of places due to lobbying from the big players? Less abandoned and more actively stomping on its throat.

CheeseNoodle ,

Lets not forget the debacle where a third party company designed a cheap and permament fix for the ice cream machines and mcdonalds responded by comiting libel against that company. The company that makes the ice cream machine then outright stole their IP (found to have outright copy pasted code with comments and all) and briefly sold it as their own fix before I belive discontinuing it.

Kind of like the ice cream machine fix version of 'embrace, extend, extinguish' but with all the finesse of beating someone up in an alley.

CheeseNoodle ,

iirc it can potentially make sense in the event that our universe turns out to be simulated and subject to floating point errors.

CheeseNoodle ,

Think of it as a win win. If a company you hate does well then you get consolation money. If it does badly then thats nice too.

CheeseNoodle ,

Yeh but that guy wasn't even in charge when that project was laid out and he got a massive golden parachute. Paid sacrafical lamb for PR purposes.

CheeseNoodle ,

Big talk coming from the branch of life that wiped out 99% of the anerobic biosphere.

CheeseNoodle ,

Earths biosphere was originally anerobic,, the evolution of photosynthesis pretty much wiped out all life that existed at the time (though it was all bacteria at that point).

Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service

See title - very frustrating. There is no way to continue to use the TV without agreeing to the terms. I couldn't use different inputs, or even go to settings from the home screen and disconnect from the internet to disable their services. If I don't agree to their terms, then I don't get access to their new products. That...

CheeseNoodle ,

afaik even those terms would be unenforcable if you can only see the TOS after buying the product, which would be the case here.

CheeseNoodle ,

Its pretty easy to to replace the hard drive in most laptops with an empty one then install either linux or a stripped down version of windows.

CheeseNoodle ,

100% iirc, there are only so many ways to write about how the blue curtains indicate the character is feeling depressed or something.

CheeseNoodle ,

IIRC the bigger issue is that the nanobots would end up just melting themselves, to avoid this they'd have to work a lot slower, probably at about the rate of a particularly fast acting bacteria.

CheeseNoodle ,

This plastic surgery has two parts. First we we hit you with this sledgehammer...

CheeseNoodle ,

I dunno underworld gods can be kinda chill sometimes, or maybe he's just tryna avoid paperwork later.

CheeseNoodle ,

Lets call it what it is, googles attempt to create a situation in which they can ban all competition and establish a global monopoly.
