Innocent until some guy on Lemmy says otherwise?

Oh wait, no, it still has to be proven.

Unless you were present at the time, you've seen some videos. Perhaps it's not likely, but videos can be faked, more easily now than ever before.

Proof first.

When I deliver it as a response to a request I have to deliver the gzipped version if nothing else. To get to a point where I'm poisoning an AI I'm assuming it's going to require gigabytes of data transfer that I pay for.

At best I'm adding to the power consumption of AI.

I wonder, can I serve it ads and get paid?

This is surely trivial to detect. If the number of pages on the site is greater than some insanely high number then just drop all data from that site from the training data.

It's not like I can afford to compete with OpenAI on bandwidth, and they're burning through money with no cares already.

Perhaps because their app and its gamification of learning is addictive and quite fun.

I'm sure this won't be a popular comment, but I can see how having a motivated learner in a 1:1 lesson with an AI might be better for that person than sitting in a class with 35 other people, most of whom don't want to be there, running through a syllabus that the teacher may not even like, at the pace of the slowest kid in class.

It's mostly "here's some bad stuff happening to someone I don't like" so it's a bunch of schadenfreude.

For YouTube, viewers aren't the users, advertisers are.

Hey, stop trolling!

I completely agree. I don't even like it when the human reader clearly doesn't understand what they're saying, so some AI flatly telling me the story isn't going to cut it.

For the humans, someone mispronounced "quay" for example. "La Jolla" was another standout mistake that took me out of the story.

I was looking to cut down on subscriptions and picked Netflix as an experimental one. I haven't missed it at all. Things like this make me less likely to occasionally reactivate for a couple of months as I was originally planning.

I wonder when they'll see a big enough effect to break their current run of fucking over their customers.

I lost my job in April 2024 and I finally got my new job at the end of January. Keep your chin up. Look for people you know who could give referrals. That's how I ended up getting hired. Good luck!

Is everything he does good? No. Is this story about a good thing? Yes.

 

In the task where they had to count the seats in the cinema Andy Zaltzman says "one" while he's talking. That should have been his accepted answer.

Welcome to the Eurogamer 100, a list of video games that aims to reflect their ever-changing nature. Rather than ranking games by their influence or significance, the below list is a suggestion of the very best things you can play at this moment, according to us.

It's a pretty good list, I think, although there are a few "wtf" moments here and there as I see what's included and what's omitted.

I'll cut right to the chase. I'm playing the Aquarius expedition and I got a ship called The Celeste when I started. I fixed it up a bit, filled the inventory, and then, when I got enough nanites, I claimed the Iron Vulture from a previous expedition at The Anomaly.

The Iron Vulture appeared, and I began emptying some of my exosuit storage so I could transfer stuff out of The Celeste into the Vulture. For some reason, however, I cannot spawn in The Celeste again. So the ship, its technology, and cargo are all gone.

I have not had this problem in the past, so I'm really not sure what happened.

I can't even remember everything I lost, but I really wish I could get it all back.

I advise caution for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

 

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

 

Several months ago there was a QR code on an episode that led to the linked website.

Today's finally the day it says yes!
