Depends on how obscure a meme is. At least with people in their 20ies, even the ones who arent internet people will know the more popular memes

Microw ,

I was a kid when that came out and definitely only know it because of "AntiqueMemes" content lol

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.)...

Microw ,

IMO these issues are mainly with the interface / how the AI summaries are presented.

The issue with incorrect answers like the glue on pizza one isnt "hallucination". The LLM is pulling that info from an existing webpage (The Onion). The thing they need to change is how that info is portrayed. Not "one tip is to use glue", but rather "the satirical site the Onion says to use glue".

Hallucination should be combatted by the fact that the AI cant show a proper source for facts it made up itself.

The main field where they are already actively in professuonal use are rough drafts in creative fields: quickly generate possible outlines for a text, a speech, an art piece. Visualize where something could be going, in order to decide which direction to pick.

Also, models that work differently from the GPTs are already in use in science, scanning through huge amounts of texts in archives to help analyzing or search for something in particular. Help find patterns in things for studies. Etc.

The "personal assistant AI" thing obviously isnt quite working yet. I think it will take some time and models with a different technological structure (not GPT) to achieve progress in that regard.

Microw ,

My bad. Doesnt change what I mean though: the AI should not say "it's also great to put glue on the pizza" - it should either not reference that at all or say "fucksmith on reddit recommends glue on pizza".

Microw ,

I think it used to allow all kinds of erotic content and fetish stuff, just not outright porn.

Microw ,

He was on the board, it's not like it was his project or anything. Imo he wanted to create a protocol, not a platform. "Improve Activitypub" like they always claimed. But then Bluesky realized that they can simply build their own platform and be Twitter 2.0

Microw ,

But literally no one with power in the current situation wants a non-ethnostate.

Microw ,

Yeah there are a lot of ethnocracies. Turkey being one of the most obvious examples. Even within the EU you have countries like Latvia or Estonia who have been labelled that in the past.

Microw ,

Drake's main new allegation is that Kendrick allegedly committed domestic violence against his wife, and that one of his friends could be the real father of their kid. Which Kendrick chose not to respond too.

I'm sure no one who is actually involved will resort to violence, only dumb fans would do that.

Microw ,

Exactly, even if the pedo accusations are wrong he still is a weird creep with his whole lifestyle.

Btw y'all can hop over to !hiphopheads as well for hip hop discussion on lemmy

Microw ,

I'm still not sure how so many people have come to the conclusion that this is an actual thing that he did

Microw ,

Definitely. Though it is ominous how he has not responded to the DV allegations

Microw ,

Btw we have !hiphopheads that could profit from more engagement if any of you is interested in posting there

Microw ,

I'm talking about the grooming thing, there is literally no proof of that (Millie saying they were talking "about boys" does not mean they were talking about sex lol)

And I might misremember that video because I thought he only talked after finding out her age and didnt kiss her again. Which is definitely weird enough on it's own. Hell, taking fans on stage and caressing and kissing them is weird enough on it's own - no matter how old they are. Drake being a sleazy slimey guy with a problematic attitude about sex and women is well established. Thing is that most guys out there dont care about that as soon as the girl is 18, so Kendrick did criticize that but then emphasized the 17 year old.

Microw ,

Uff

Microw ,

File Transfer Protocol? What does that have to do with it?

/s

Microw ,

I think this would be immensely helpful for niche topics

This.

I dont know how many people here are aware of Fandom, formerly known as Wikia. Basically what they are trying to do is collecting niche topic wikis in order to profit as much as possible. Very much criticized over the years by contributors for their practices.

Ibis could be the answer for niche wikis who dont want to be associated with Fandom/Wikia.

Microw ,

The current criticism is that dessalines and nutomic are choosing which features they are working on and which ones they incorporate into Lemmy in a way that people think to be very intransparent, undemocratic. That's not unsimilar to Mastodon, but there even Gagron has to bow to pressure from the community if something has a lot of support.

Microw ,

You completely missed the point, the emphasis is at the end of the sentence:

in a way that people think to be very intransparent, undemocratic.

Of course they call the shots. But you can do that in various ways. You can engage with people and include people in those decisions in various ways. Wikipedia for example does a technical survey every year, asking: "should we focus our technical work on area A, B or C? What do you guys think should be prioritized?"

That does not mean that some specific task needs to be prioritized just because one person wants that. But I heavily doubt that the devs have an idea how popular or unpopular certain ideas/wishes are with Lemmy's users.

Microw ,

To chime in:
Yes, people are positive about Lemmy. I like Lemmy, people like Lemmy. And Lemmy users in general want to see activity at Lemmy. Who wouldnt? That's kind of a given...
but still I want Lemmy to continue to evolve in functionality. That doesnt contradict itself?

And if someone points out that certain things arent technically possible at the moment, I as a user would expect that this isnt considered a "complaint" or a "negative sentiment".

Especially when it's a functionality that might have legal implications. Does "no one care" about that because people think it's unnecessary? Or because they have never noticed before that this isnt possible?
The GDPR is not a joke, and foss does not have an exemption clause for adhering to it. Additionally a lot of people on Lemmy are very privacy-conscious.

Therefore I think it's great that this issue has been brought up now and you guys are working on a fix for that. Thanks for all of your work on this project, it's really appreciated.

Microw ,

I think it's a question of philosophy. If I take donations for something, is it really still my hobby projects I build in my free time?

Not really IMO. The moment I make money off it, it's more than that.

And if I have a community of people who use that project, I should be transparent with them and engage with them. Maybe the Lemmy devs are doing this in some place where I'm not (like on their matrix), but I have never seen them explain why they are working on certain features and not on others. Their development updates are awesome and I appreciate them, but it's very much a communication of "we are doing this, see you next time". The recent AMA was a good example of engagement that gives the possibility to explain things better and get into contact. My advice would be to work on communication and feedback channels.

But everyone is free to see that differently.

Microw ,

Are you really comparing young boys to billionaires? Wtf is wrong with you?

Yes, there are fewer boys who are affected by this than girls. But they are in no way privileged in their every day life if they become victims of this.

Microw ,

This is something a lot of forums and more private/restricted communities had years ago. It creates a barrier, and if some specific community wants to activate that - sure. But for most instances and communities it's not relevant.

Microw ,

Tbf from the short time I've been on bluesky it seems like their algorithms are very good, I have followed the people I'm interested in and seen 0 nazi posts so far

Microw ,

Wtf why are you people ok with comparing women to products?

Microw ,

Dude its literally a picture of him with his first wife and a picture of him with his new fiancee..

Microw ,

Well, you see, in the first image you have his first wife and in the second one you have his current fiance

Microw ,

This. It's not the same post, it's two different posts in two different communities.

Microw ,

I recently learned that all governments participating in the Euro guarantee that business have to accept cash. Refusing it is a violation of the accords.
