Lemmy doesn't hate AI, just dumb implementations of it

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Gamers will literally install root kits on their PCs just because an update pop up tells them to. They really don't care lol.

moon ,

No it's that Linux is good

moon ,

the thesis was on why you should move to Linux

moon ,

I love FOSS alternatives, but let's not pretend that GIMP is anywhere near being a viable alternative for professionals, unlike Blender who has got their shit together. I wish GIMP figured out actual decent UX.

moon ,

Google has the same thing

moon ,

What are you talking about, it's literally the same thing on Android. Also why the shilling out of nowhere?

moon ,

It usually takes android quite some time before they catch up on the latest security concepts.

Android exploits are considered more valuable and expensive because they're harder to find. I don't know where you are getting this information other than thinking it sounds correct in your head.

moon ,

I love it, please keep destroying windows and let the holdouts suffer. Linux is the way

moon ,

I heard he said the same thing when they asked him why he was hanging with Epstein

moon ,

it'll never be furry pride month, don't group the creepy larpers with normal pride month

moon ,

Yup, practically every single one. I play genshin impact on Linux completely unmodified and nothing tweaked.

This site has been objectively tracking the state of anti cheat really well: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

So you can see that majority of the anti cheats are working. Also games that use anti cheat are really not that numerous in the first place anyways...

moon ,

I see this is free as in price, definitely not free as in freedom. Should delete the anti virus section and replace it with Linux lol.

moon ,

You say that, but I'll be more than willing to try and sell him a copy of the source code.

moon ,

He's not your average guy working to put food on the table lol. For someone of his status, his image being hurt from this is far more expensive than whatever they're paying them for.

moon ,

There really isn't going to be, besides giving them your card directly (or paying crypto🤢). PayPal is less about the software and more about the service, which isn't something FOSS can really replace. An alternative would have to have a company behind it that works with major financial institutes and whatnot.

moon ,

Yeah they're just making shit up, and it's anti American so Lemmy assumes it's true.

moon ,

If people are doing that, it's probably not "very clearly". There's most likely social context you're missing that is making it heavily miss its mark.

moon ,

It becomes pretty clear on why those things are important when you're on the receiving end usually. What other kind of things do you mean by that?

moon ,

It's not on me to infer your meaning.

Yes it is??

moon ,

I mean it kind of is, in the sense that interactions are determined by your perception of things, and autistic people have a very different social perspective. So by that, they are in different interactions that others would have or that others could easily get out of.

moon ,

This means that neurotypicals can communicate well together. Autistic people can communicate well together. But communication between autists and NTs will be poor because of that difference.

I'm just curious as to wonder why you say that? I am a sales/relations manager, I'm NT, and there's a few autistic people I have work for me. Now I don't have difficulties understanding them, if anything I run circles around them social-skills-wise as I know what they're attempting to say easily. The other NTs that I know of also do pretty well at the social skills part of the job. The autistic people definitely struggle.

I'm definitely still learning how to train them more effectively, since I know they like things to be explained literally, but social stuff is so complex that they miss the bigger picture that is involved. I have never felt like I struggle to figure out what they're thinking or saying though, mainly because I know them personally. But as for the customers understanding them, probably not.

moon ,

I know but regular people have more of a similar perspective than autistic people do. That's why they'll get teased like in this meme example, since there's likely a social cue they're not picking up on so they're getting mocked. Everyone has different perspectives, but autism is definitely a big factor in creating these situations.

moon ,

Yeah I mean like examples

moon ,

I can give you bit of an interesting perspective. I'm a sales/relations manager, and I also have a few autistic employees. When they call for my help over the radio, just like everyone else, they can say the same things word-for-word but it can still come across as much more annoying then others. It'll be loud, bad timing, not aware of what else is going on or what I'm doing, etc. Now I'm fully aware they're not trying to do anything wrong, and they have no idea why the small little things they do are annoying, and I don't fault them or anything, but the small mannerisms can be annoying lol.

I've also been on the other side as well, where everything gets interpreted the worst way (and often this still happens to me). When I got promoted into my position, I came in with 0 experience and so I have to ask the people who I'm their boss of, and who they lost their promotion to, basically how do I do their job. Of course that does not garner a lot of respect, so they basically hated me instantly and so a lot of what I did was interpreted as very negatively. Several months in now, I have mostly new staff that has only known me as a manager and I'm much more competent. I still speak the same way, since I wasn't really incorrect before, but because these people hated me initially, it's like their perception was immediately poisoned and everything I said was taken to be much worse.

It's basically a non stop struggle for everyone, but obviously to various degrees. That's why it's good to be charitable to people and assume the best intentions, since miscommunication like this is inherently an unavoidable issue. Autism is just like that but with a exp gain debuff. I guess try not to fault the people who "code" and flower their language too much, as they try to do that to fix miscommunication and those help avoid those small unbiases that poison our language. Which ironically, them doing that here is creating the poison for you 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.)...

moon ,

If its job is to write a fan fic on what may or may not be true on what you asked for, then it does a great job. But typically people search for information, and getting what is essentially a glorified auto complete isn't useful. It's like big tech has learned nothing about the massive issue of disinformation and just added fuel to the fire to an unsolved problem we're still very much trying to figure out.

moon ,

Do you think installing extensions is really that difficult on Gnome?

moon ,

I tried it, but when I'm around your mom, she keeps begging for it!

moon ,

who cares if it is or not, it's fun to bully a big company

moon ,

I've used it exclusively for a long time and haven't experienced any of this

moon ,

That's not what that means. That means out of all the battery drain you've had since the last charge, Firefox was only 18% of that. For example if your phone was fully charged 3 hours ago and you dropped 20% then it would've been only 18% of that 20% battery drop. It's really confusing the way Android shows battery usage now.

iPhones And Androids Can Now Warn You of 'Secret Trackers' (www.ibtimes.co.uk)

In a collaborative effort, Apple and Google have developed an industry-standard detection feature called "Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers" (DULT) for Bluetooth trackers. This standard allows users on iOS and Android devices to be alerted if an unknown Bluetooth tracker is monitoring their location.

moon ,

This feature has been around for a long time now

moon ,

Say the L word instead

I've literally only made millions off of crypto. Of course this is the Internet and I don't need to verify me making shit up, but I will continue to say so because otherwise my feelings will get hurt. If you uplemmy this comment I will send you one trillion Bitcoin, real!

moon ,

I used to be on the rpg maker forums back in the day, can you loosely describe it to me?

moon ,

Sorry no luck! I really wish we had an archive of that site. So much high quality original content.

moon ,

It's a nice subtle touch to add to the degeneracy

moon ,

u welcome

moon ,

I'm kinda glad that my ears are not good enough to tell the difference between high end audio quality that I've never had to mess with enthusiast software like that. Ignorance is bliss.

moon ,

I could not be happier for the death of physical cash. I despise it so much.

moon ,

Wtf why is this considered illegal at all?

moon ,

I get banning for quality, but for potential copyright is pretty stupid.

moon ,

Dang must suck being on a proprietary locked down platform you have no control over. That's literally impossible on my deGoogled android running GOS.

Firefox 126: New Search Data Telemetry, Improved Copy Without Site Tracking, Security Fixes, and More (www.mozilla.org)

Telemetry was added to create an aggregate count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development. These categories are based on 20 high-level content types, such as "sports,” "business," and "travel". This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove IP...

That's all essential in modern development and to see how to target what people are actually using. Though I don't like it either and it should be a simple single button opt out, or even an opt in.

moon ,

Who?

moon ,

Then you're in an elderly home

moon ,

That's a good way to potentially get your personal domain as potential spam.
