Oh up yours, with your clickbait title. A DDOS is not a hack.

sab , to fediverse in Threads' New Terms and Conditions Affects the Fediverse

I might end up using a personal instance as well. But in that case I’ll probably end up with an instance whitelist, rather than defederating from disliked ones.

I wouldn’t put it past them to put tracking images into posts though. Either way… I wouldn’t be happy on a server that is connected to threads.

Speaking of which… I see lemmy world see still hasn’t defederated from Threads. I guess it’s time for me to kill my account here.

Recently, I used it for book/Author recommendations. At first I also used it for coding, but now I just ask it to explain concepts to me (what’s the difference between… / what are some ways to approach…)

Basically how non-tech people thought search engines worked at the beginning of this century.

Ip address is only sent to a users home server though.

sab , to technology in Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox?

I use the tree style tab extension for that.

sab , to technology in Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox?

I’ll give you one reason where Firefox blows chrome out of the water: multi account containers:

Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into color-coded tabs. Cookies are separated by container, allowing you to use the web with multiple accounts

That way you can seamlessly have multiple accounts for a specific site open side by side (for example, your work and your personal mail with the same mail provider). Especially amazing if you’re an IT contractor who works for multiple clients.

You forgot to put “temporarily” in your headline.

sab , to fediverse in Fedi-fanfiction: How would a society look like in which the fediverse is established as THE social media platform?

Hopefully: more gradual exposure to contrary opinions, allowing to decrease the amount of polarisation. Less filter bubbles, and more cooperation.

sab , to technology in Armed with traffic cones, protesters are immobilizing driverless cars

The way they explain themselves sounds like NIMBY. I doubt it’s about safety.

sab , (edited ) to technology in Armed with traffic cones, protesters are immobilizing driverless cars

I couldn’t help but note the lack of figures of how unsafe driverless cars are, versus a regular car, per distance driven. And for that matter - how much that number had changed over recent years - because that’s the entire point of these tests, to make traffic safer.

And when scooter companies flooded the sidewalks with electric scooters, people threw them into San Francisco Bay.

Ah, that happened here as well. But we just call it vandalism.

sab , (edited ) to technology in Stephen King: My Books Were Used to Train AI

I didn’t claim it was.

We can discuss technicalities all day long, but that’s so beside the point. Thread OP claimed that creating an LLM based on a copyrighted work is okay, because humans are influenced by other works as well. But a human can’t crank out hundreds of Stephen King-like chapters per hour. Or hundreds of Dali-like paintings pretty minute.

If King or Dali had given permission for their works to be used in this way, it might have been a different story, but as it is, AI models are being trained on (and profit from) huge amounts of data that they did not have permission for.

Edit: nevermind, I think trying to discuss AI ethics with you is pointless. Have a nice weekend!

sab , to technology in Stephen King: My Books Were Used to Train AI

But you can easily fit all of Kings work in a 4gb model. Just because it isn’t done in the most popular models, doesn’t make it ethical to do it in the first place.

In my opinion, you should only be able to use a work to train an AI model, if the work is public domain or if you have explicit permission to do so by the license holder. Especially if you then use that model for profit or charge orders to use ie.
