Es gibt wirklich viel, was man an #KI kritisieren kann (hab ich selbst auch schon gemacht), aber ich habe wirklich schon sehr viel Zeit sparen können durch die Verwendung von ChatGPT oder GitHub Copilot im beruflichen Kontext.

SBU detains man suspected of directing Russian attacks on Ukrainian special forces base: https://benborges.xyz/2024/04/23/sbu-detains-man.html

You know how #peertube has this system where you can make it track your youtube account, and it copies the things as you publish them?
That's backwards man. I want it to be #posse obviously. Post on your own site, syndicate elsewhere/everywhere.
I want it to copy my Peertube uploads over to Youtube and Rumble and TikTok and whatever and I don't care if their APIs allow it I want the adversarial compatibility of Nitter or botsinspace.
There exists a plugin system for Peertube but it doesn't appear to have a plugin like that.
:(
I wonder if the AI can make one easily? 😆
Maybe if I helped it for a few weeks.

Meet Trump’s ‘Human Printer’ - by Marc A. Caputo

Meet Trump’s ‘Human Printer’
Her name is Natalie Harp. She’s 32. And she has unbelievable access to the man who might be president again.

“It can happen again,” Judge Chutkan, who is expected to preside over Donald Trump’s criminal trial for trying to overturn the 2020 election, said Friday.
“Extremism is alive and well in this country. Threats of violence continue unabated.”
Those threats have become normalized in Republican discourse,
with right-wing figures across the country invoking violence and urging their supporters to arm themselves.
The man behind it all, Donald Trump, has yet to face any conse…

Subtoot 'cause the post I saw had enough replies already, but this is a bad article (though it has a wonderful description of how Von Neumann machines work):
https://aeon.co/essays/your-brain-does-not-process-information-and-it-is-not-a-computer
For context, I'm against most uses of modern LLMs for several good ethical reasons, and I think the current state of AI research funding is both unsustainable and harmful to knowledge development. However, I've done a tiny bit of deep learning research myself, and I think the tech has a lot of cool potential, even if on balance it might have even more terrifying-potential.
The central problem with this article is that while it accurately describes ways that most human brains differ fundamentally from one way computers can be set up, it completely ignores how (computer) neutral networks work, including the fact that they'd perform very similar to the humans on the dollar bill task, because they encode a representation of their training inputs as distributed tweaks to the connection weights of many simulated neurons. (Also, people with photographic memory do exist...)
I think that being challenged in one's metaphors is a great idea (read Paul Agre on AI) and this is a useful article to have read for that reason, but I think the more useful stance is a principled agnosticism towards whether the human brain works like a computer, along with a broader imagination for "what a computer works like." More specifically, I'm quite convinced the brain doesn't work like a modern operating system (effectively the central straw man in this article), but I reserve judgement on whether it works like a neutral network.

Very moving story. Lots of emotions going on here.

He forgave the man who killed his son, and helped free him from prison
“I do believe that we all, at some point, have to learn to forgive,” said Azim Khamisa. “If we had enough people forgiving, that would shift society.”

Aftermath Of The Kernel Wars
During the 1980s and 90s, computer companies waged an open war for supremacy. We are witnesses of an age that could be described as post-apocalyptic. The dust has settled for the past 20 years, with a small ignition of hostilities around 2010, between members of the mobile duopoly and some late challengers. But to a large degree, we can say that the Kernel Wars are over, and we are privileged observers of their aftermath. But everyone was surprised to discover the winner emerging from the ashes…

Crypto is not the future. It's Medieval. - lemmy.tf
There’s a scene in the Game of Thrones where a man called The Hound finds out where an old farmer has hidden his silver. The Hound promptly robs him. There was, of course, no way to call the police. The state was not there to defend the old man’s property. This was a fairly typical problem in ancient and medieval times. In modern times if Mr Jones kept a bag of gold on his kitchen table, few would try to steal it because most peeps would be deterred by the threat of incarceration. Jones can…

Good to see this victim blaming douch canoe on Reddit’s Perth community getting roasted for the dumbest of dumb opinions on #DomesticViolence and #Femicide.

Donald #Trump said and did so much terrible shit every single day of his presidency, it's easy to forget much of it. This incident had completely slipped my mind.

Elaborating on my Tumblr post, I realized I had misunderstood #GodzillaXKong; their Godzuki was the clue. Revisiting the 1998 #Godzilla as MCU has with Steve Ditko's Spider-man: any similarity expressed or implied is purely coincidental.

In a world where the Romans make the rules, one man preaches a different way.
But the Powers that Be decide they've had enough, and they're going to put him down.
Now, denied by his king, betrayed by his friends, he's whipped, nailed to a post, starved, and buried.
But his god has given him one last chance.
For justice.
For vengeance.
For supper.

I've been thinking about a system to combat the trash there, but then I remembered, "the platform is the voice", and that I should "defederate" from their "instance".
I should definitely post here more often, and spend more time here.

Man, I feel so bad. I feel like I'm the one that leaked BridgyFed too early, now people are expecting it to just "work".
That's definitely not the case and has been said multiple times now, but you can't have a "do over" for a first announcement post and I took that away from Ryan.😔
That's on me.

I feel like people out there who have not met me in real life underestimate how tall I am.

Fans of 11-time Grammy Award–winning singer Dolly Parton came to her aid this week, in response to a tacky, homophobic hit piece published by a right-wing magazine.
The Federalist is a conservative outlet that has previously taken aim at Taylor Swift, accusing her of indoctrinating her listeners into man-hating feminism, a thinly veiled grievance about their inability to control the thoughts of young women.
Now it’s taken aim at the Queen of Country herself, likely for much the…
