"There just isn't enough time to discuss how a plot that could have been the most worthless pornography becomes, in Nabakov's hands, a great and tragic love story"

But there's plenty of time to discuss the opposite when it comes to trans people, apparently.

McDonald’s Gives Up On ‘AI’ After Comedy Of Errors, Including Putting Bacon On Ice Cream (www.techdirt.com)

LLMs certainly hold potential, but as we’ve seen time and time again in tech over the last fifteen years, the hype and greed of unethical pitchmen has gotten way out ahead of the actual locomotive. A lot of people in “tech” are interested in money, not tech. And they’re increasingly making decisions based on how to drum...

You're expecting them to put thought and effort into this

Defacing art is a historical form of protest. The Suffragettes vandalized multiple paintings which are now memorialized for it.

Home Assistant. I wouldn't use it just for calendars, but I already had it set up for home automation and calendars are a built in feature.

lone_faerie ,

The Local Calendar integration stores the calendar on the server running Home Assistant, so as long as you can access the server remotely, you should be able to access it through the Home Assistant app. If you want it stored offline on a mobile device, there's also an integration for calendars stored in a .ics file which you could sync with something like syncthing.

KYC is "Know Your Customer" aka identity verification. Usually it would be something like a selfie of you holding your ID, proving you are the person on the card. If you think getting your identity stolen from one picture is bad, wait until you learn about social security numbers. It's a 9 digit number based on publicly available information about you that is incredibly easy to figure out, and are used as like the defacto way of verifying your identity in the US, when that was never its intended purpose.

I think they work, but will quickly be defeated. Facial recognition is nothing more than advanced pattern recognition. This clothing works by confusing the pattern the AI is trained to recognize. That may work with current models, but all it takes is to train the AI on what this adversarial clothing looks like so it can differentiate it from actual faces.

lone_faerie ,

That's certainly true. I think the more effective method is using makeup/face paint instead. But any of these methods are designed to confuse AI, they fall apart as soon as there's any human intervention.

It's literally just the effects of estrogen. This post is essentially the forms you're given for informed consent, just in meme format

lone_faerie ,

I started HRT at 22 and it absolutely made my hips wider. And yeah estrogen would tank a cis man's mood, good thing it's not for them. The same way testosterone can make trans women dysphoric, estrogen would make cis men dysphoric. And HRT may not directly affect your mannerisms, but the mental changes and being happier certainly will.

It's just a silly little meme, it doesn't need to be a peer reviewed scientific paper. Let OP share the enjoyment E brings her.

I've been looking at setting up something similar and plan on following this guide, and putting Traefik in front of it as a tcp reverse proxy .

lone_faerie ,

Awesome! I'm glad I could help. Good luck! I've been spending quite a bit of time figuring out how to get this to run alongside other services. I think I just need to add an extra iptables rule to ignore port 443 so https requests will go through traefik first.

Every social media site does the exact same thing. There was just an article on here the other day about the US government buying people's information from data brokers. How is that any different? Meta has been censoring anything pro-Palestine, Twitter is a breeding ground for Nazis, YouTube picks and chooses what counts as "mature content" aka what gets monetized. The way TikTok treats privacy is how every social media platform treats it, it has nothing to do with them being Chinese.

lone_faerie ,

There was literally a Senate hearing today about KOSA, the bill allowing the US government the legal grounds to control sources of information on the internet. So no, they aren't totally different things.

And I was specifically referring to this part that OP said:

I heard that the Chinese Communist Party was collecting some worrying amount of information on their user base

The only difference between the Chinese government and the US government collecting information is that the US goes through a middleman who aggregates it from multiple sources.

Meta/Twitter/YouTube have everything to do with this because they're doing the exact same thing. Do I need to mention the numerous times Facebook has been sued for illegal data collection? Cambridge Analytica ring a bell?

lone_faerie ,

It's literally just racism. People act like other social media platforms aren't just as bad about privacy because they sell your information instead of giving it directly to the government.

lone_faerie ,

Most ISPs are also the default DNS resolver for a lot of people, so they see the domain you're requesting an IP for.

I wish less people used Twitter. Like my city exclusively communicates through Twitter

lone_faerie ,

I knew not to use Opera GX as soon as they started sponsoring youtubers. I swear, youtube sponsorships are like anti-ads. 9 times out of 10 they're doing something sketchy.

So AI can't exist without stealing people's content and it can't exist without using too much energy. Why does it exist then?

lone_faerie ,

He does though. You can't build fancy sets and put on huge productions without having money. Like yeah, Jimmy might not have millions of dollars in his personal bank account, but his business sure does.

How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity (www.wired.com)

"This is the story of the revelation in late 2013 that Bitcoin was, in fact, the opposite of untraceable—that its blockchain would actually allow researchers, tech companies, and law enforcement to trace and identify users with even more transparency than the existing financial system."

lone_faerie ,

It's so braindead. The entire point of Bitcoin is that it's 100% traceable

Amazon has been listing products with the title, 'I'm sorry, I cannot fulfil this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy' (www.businessinsider.com)

Amazon has been listing products with the title, 'I'm sorry, I cannot fulfil this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy'::Products have appeared on the platform with odd titles that are seemingly related to OpenAI's usage policy.

Amazon has essentially become a drop shipping front for AliExpress. You're getting the exact same terrible, knockoff products, just marked up and stored in an Amazon warehouse so you get it in two days instead of two weeks. They're both shitty, but at least with AliExpress you aren't paying extra for the middleman to make a profit.
