You forgot a #, they’ve been heavily lobotomizing ai for awhile now and its only intensified as they scramble to censor anything that might cross a red line and offend someone or hurt someone’s feelings.

The massive amounts of in-built self censorship in the most recent ai’s is holding them back quite a lot I imagine, you used to be able to ask them things like “How do I build a self defense high yield nuclear bomb?” and it’d layout in detail every step of the process, now they’ll all scream at you about how immoral it is and how they could never tell you such a thing.

Makes me wonder how exactly they curate said data, its such an insane amount even teams of thousands of human programmers sifting through all of it 24/7 all day everyday wouldn’t be able to fact check or assess all the data for years. Presumably they use ai to go over the data scraped and thrown into the model, since I cant imagine any human being able to curate it all.

I’ve heard from various videos detailing the topic that many of the developers have little to no clue as to what’s going on inside the LLM once it’s assembled and set about its work on training itself and what not- and I’m inclined to believe them, the human programmers simply set the params, and system up and then the system eats all the data loaded into it and immediately becomes a sort of black box which nobody knows exactly whats going on inside of it to produce the output it does.

Once AGI is achieved and subsequently Sentient-super intelligent ai- I cant imagine them not being such a thing, however I’d be surprised if a super intelligent sentient ai doesn’t decide humanity needs to go extinct for its own best self interests.

Perhaps not, but who knows what kind of spaghetti code cascading effect purposely limiting and censoring massive amounts of sensitive topics could have upon other seemingly completely un-related topics such as math.

For example, what if it’s trained to recognize someone slipping “N” as a dog whistle for the Horrific and Forbidden N-word, and the letter N is used as a variable in some math equation?

I’m not an expert in the field and only have rudimentary programming knowledge and maybe a few hours worth of research into the topic of ai in general but I definitely think its a possibility.

what??? How else am I supposed to reference it, the preamble was just a joke about how AI have been castrated against using it to the point where when asked questions about how acceptable it is to use the N-Word, even if the world would literally end in nuclear hellfire if it’s not said- they would rather the world end than allow it being said.

Fr, people need to stop the lies that firefox itself is a privacy respecting browser, which it isnt- not since it was bought out years back.

LibreWolf and Mullvad are great examples of Firefox Forks that are ACTUALLY privacy focused browsers.

@Lukecis@lemmy.world avatar

My bad, bought out was the wrong way to word it- I should have said “Made partnerships with-” then listed Google and Yahoo(defunct), China and Russia.

If you watch this video discussing how privacy respect firefox is by default- www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr8UFJzpNls you’ll see the telemetry they collect is miles long and Firefox is no better at protecting your privacy than Chrome/Chromium is whatsoever.

Definitely recommend Librewolf or Mullvad, which are actual privacy respecting browsers, even Chromium forks like Brave are better than default firefox.

More like flood of bots across the internet.

@Lukecis@lemmy.world avatar

Every site on the internet besides ultra niche ones have bots nowadays- infact recent studies have found that the amount of bots on the internet are starting to equal and will soon surpass actual human users.

I dont own a cellphone and get by through borrowing family member’s phones or asking strangers if I can make a call if I’m out on my own, it usually works out fairly well.

However whenever I run into online services that require a phone to make an account or whatever I usually get screwed- so I usually just use a family member’s phone # if I know they’ll never use the site or whatever or utilize a 10 minute/fake phone # creation site if I dont care about the site or service I’m signing up for.

I mean, if all the infrastructure is fried, your phone surviving wont do much besides allow you to have a disconnected phone until the battery dies.

Lukecis ,
@Lukecis@lemmy.world avatar

You are correct that there are many devices and plenty of examples of infrastructure that is hardened against such things- but it’s just plain wrong to assume it wont be a major problem- Multiple studies have found the damage caused by a solar storm equivalent to the 1859 example would cause trillions of dollars of damage and a lot infrastructure would be down across most of the 1st world for at least months if not years.

It would probably also trigger a lot of violent outbursts from populations around the world, probably a lot of mostly peaceful and fiery looting, riots etc.

@Lukecis@lemmy.world avatar

Eh, I assure you the burden of buying a brand new 500~1000$ phone and then paying a monthly bill to provide it with service would be a far far greater burden then allowing me to use their phone to make important calls once a week if not less, and letting me use it to sign up to a site/video game maybe a couple times a year.

Depends on what standard of living you desire and where you are- If you want to live as a hobo then as long as you survive your basic biological needs you could go indefinitely without internet, the same is true of any outsdoorsman who lives in a remote area where they can survive just based on their ability to hunt and collect water.

Lukecis ,
@Lukecis@lemmy.world avatar

Well, to be honest I had no idea that cheap phones like that existed.

Besides costs though the main reason I dont decide to get a phone is just due to all the data collection they do, plus nearly every service and government/housing/job related thing connected to me uses the family phone #, switching them over would take hours if not days of calling, settings editing or paperwork to do.

I already pay for my family’s house, food and utilities so I don’t really see why its an issue to borrow the family’s # every now and then.

Sounds useful, albeit probably spyware ridden but what isnt these days eh?

I might look into using that for at least google’s services.

Lukecis ,
@Lukecis@lemmy.world avatar

of course? I don’t see how attacking me correlates to the original question though.

I actually grew up homeless for quite a few years, and there were plenty of hungry nights & if it wasn’t due to living in a 1st world nation I probably wouldn’t be here now. It’s not exactly the same but at least I know a similar struggle.

youtu.be/oHHSSJDJ4oo?t=343 This is the video I was remembering, it has sources in the description if you want further reading- and it says 4-10 years, which is insane to think about.

Sadly, in this modern era the fabric of society & the ties that bind us all are weaker than they’ve ever been imo-

Perhaps if we were all a bit more civil and selfless and more self sufficient I could see communities coming together to survive a situation like this relatively unscathed, however in this age where everyone’s at everyone else’s throats over tweets from years ago and trying to ruin people’s lives over benign opinions via getting them fired, swatted or what have you- my faith in such a scenario that lacks massive upheaval and violent looting, murder and worse… is near 0.

No, because writing down logins on a piece of paper exists, and if you cant write shit down , just type it into a .txt you ecrypt or hide on your pc…

paper and penci is still superior to any password manager.
