Spoilers, man!

daddy32 ,

How about phones? They are a computer after all.

I'm in the proces of choosing a new one (forced by hardware failures of current one) a I hate having to choose all of its parameters with no possibility of any upgrade or meaningful configuration at the time of purchase.

daddy32 ,

Similar with music. I am absolutely sure that the best music did not enter existence in the last year.

daddy32 ,

Well, but that's just Google minus some of the dark patterns.

daddy32 ,

MY hardware and infrastructure was not free either and I and ONLY I get to decide how it is used.

daddy32 ,

And fighting/extorting for another 85 outside of the courts.

daddy32 ,

Shouldn't you just have a fallback DNS for cases like these? During the outage, it would be the one used and after the things settle, you would be back at primary.

Maybe some kind of monitoring/notifications on top of thatm

daddy32 ,

Oh my, TIL.
But what then in cases like these, when the Pihole itself is down? You need fallback..

Ads were already there for years - for Facebook, TikTok, Candy Crush, and who knows what else.

I would say this is embarrassingly unprofessional, but the truth is this is just normal these days - normalized by Facebook and Android - and I'm just old and used to better software.

I switched to Linux the same year they appeared.

daddy32 ,

Yes. Scary.

And before that, llms in many unexpected ways.

hmm generating static excel reports doesn't sound bad, as long as these are used just as output format - basically a familiar GUI.

‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People (www.404media.co)

A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of...

daddy32 ,

Scale.

daddy32 ,

Ads are just pure negative. There was even one study that calculated this as a direct financial negative, although unfortunately in narrow circumstances: it was calculated that for mobile users in the US, paying for the data transferred to display the ad was more expensive than what the site owner got paid for including it on his site.

daddy32 ,

I expect this to proceed similarly: many companies and funding dollars will burn in flames and still, the world will be a different place in a decade thanks to this technology.

daddy32 ,

Yeah, that's when I started to call him "The pedo guy" (using his own words).

daddy32 ,

In what sense? Lying about the actual capabilities of the business? Full autonomous drive next year and Mars at 2022?

daddy32 ,

Try GPT-4.
tldr: yes.

daddy32 ,

There should be some free ways to access gtp-4,although I didn't try them.
i.e.: https://inboom.ai/copilot-now-lets-you-use-gpt-4-turbo-for-free/

daddy32 ,

I don't get all the negativity on this topic and especially comparing current AI (the LLMs) to the nonsense of NFTs etc.
Of course, one would have to be extremely foolish/naive or a stakeholder to trust the AI vendors.
But the technology itself is, while not solid, genuinely useful in many many use cases.
It is an absolute positive productivity booster in these and enables use cases that were not possible or practical before.
The one I have the most experience with is programming and programming-related stuff such as software architecture where the LLMs absolutely shine, but there are others. The current generation can even self-correct without human intervention.
In any case, even if this would be the only use case ever, this would absolutely change the world and bring positive boosts in productivity across all industries - unlike NFTs.

daddy32 ,

That's one big difference between the US and the EU law. In the EU, they can't.

daddy32 ,

Nonsense. Not "about anything". ChatGPT gives correct advice in many fields, some of which are directly verifiable - for example programming.

daddy32 ,

I stopped using LineageOs due to their stance towards rooting and weak arguments behind it.

daddy32 ,

Aren't they planning to completely rework it, to cut all the existing ties to DnD/OGL?
Because that would mean it is.. not quite right time to start playing, no?

daddy32 ,

Oh that's good to know. Backward compatibility is very good news (for me).

daddy32 ,

It is just too easy to shoot yourself in the foot when using a foot gun...
Sure the experts can avoid it, but that doesn't mean the foot gun is a good tool in general.

daddy32 ,

It sound like you are personally offended by this because you are Chinese, but as an European, I share your sentiment. I don't trust either Chinese, nor American solutions. After all, after Snowden, we know American solutions are systematically compromised.
