Even Khajiit is affected by global supply chains and shipping disruptions

Some people also don’t care much one way or another. If you swap the icons and set the same home screen, they’ll happily use any browser.

Thank you, they have been banned from Lemmy.ca

Our university got hit too, but at least our finals season ended a few weeks ago. Right now it’s affecting the summer classes which start next week

As well as the personal data of students, faculty, etc from the past however many years…

Claude’s thinking panel, which displays the model’s reasoning, showed the exchange had introduced elements of self-doubt and humility about its own limits, including whether filters were changing its output. Mindgard exploited that opening with flattery and feigned curiosity, coaxing Claude to explore its boundaries beyond volunteering lengthy lists of banned words and phrases.

Someone needs to put together a list of things that tech journalists need to understand about LLMs and generative AI. This level of anthropomorphism makes the rest of the article look silly.

Also, I don’t think that’s how it works lol. Who’s to say that the LLM isn’t auto-completing what a list of banned words might look like, and why wouldn’t a list of banned words have a regex layer on top to prevent it from getting out like that.

This is helpful, and I hope these other platforms grow in popularity. However, my concern with kids is that they will desperately want to use the platforms that their friends are on and they will hold it against the parents (and alternative platforms) if they are forced to make do without the big tech ones.

I think addressing that will be helpful. What I would add:

• Talk about alternative front ends and teach kids about them. Its possible to access the big tech sites without the ads and tracking, and often its a much better experience. You could also explore other ways of using the platforms with limited permissions, such as by using the mobile browser instead of the app, and/or custom extensions that modify the platform (ex. uBlock origin removes ads). This way, kids can still see some of the content that their friends see (under parental supervision), and they can talk about it with them / participate in the group dynamic. They might even feel superior for knowing how to get around the problems that their friends complain about.
• Work with other parents to transition on to these other platforms. If the kid and their close friends are on the better platform, then all of the stuff above is a moot point :)

edit: by alternative front ends, I mean something like Redlib for Reddit: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/aww/

There is a list here: https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends

I didn’t catch the previous post and gave it a quick skim now. My thoughts are more to do with how LLM based moderation is viewed by users.

It’s not a new thing, since sentiment analysis based moderation has been around for a long while. Where it becomes a problem is

• The sentiment analysis makes mistakes and it gets tedious to deal with platforms that use it for automated moderation. This is a big problem with old social media platforms like Reddit, or comment sections in places like Instagram/Facebook.
• It can be used as a flimsy excuse to take moderation actions when such actions aren’t necessary, which makes users trust that moderation team less

I also don’t agree with the privacy angle since all content here is public by nature, but I do see value in discussing these other problems since that’s what this community is for?

Also, while Rimu can defederate, letting people discuss it first is better. Best case scenario, the groups find some kind of compromise. Otherwise it lets people weigh in on the platform policies and federation status, instead of having admins make that call on their own

There’s a small learning process, but ultimately it isn’t that different. I think part of the difficulty is that the lack of a nice onboarding, which is what these guide pages are intended for

I’d also recommend these pages

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/mobile-apps

You should also be able to use the search bar

In short, to use communities created on other instances, you will go to lemmy.world/c/COMMUNITY@INSTANCE

So to access the Canada community that’s located on lemmy.ca, you go to lemmy.world/c/canada@lemmy.ca

The exclamation mark thing is a common link format that tells your app or the Lemmy websites that you are linking to a community somewhere. Using the search bar within lemmy.world should also do the same thing

This visual guide might help

Nothing against Mbin, but how would it help with the AI moderation issue? From what I understand about the AI moderation, it was a group of mods that sent a user’s history into a model for analysis. That will still be possible with Mbin, and anywhere else

Thankfully the places with newer stock had the RRW reverse re-wind discs, so it was easy enough to click it forward one step once you got to the end of a disc

OpenAI used to be a public benefit company. Or it called itself one anyway

There are healthcare systems in the world other than the one in the usa

I came into this thread to speak about wait times too, but you said it much better than I could have. Thank you :)

It’s still E2E, but the sender is Zulip and the potentially hostile service provider is google/apple. E2E isn’t limited to person to person chats

It would be nice if Zulip chats were E2E, but I imagine that would be a large undertaking

I think its just that there are a lot of repeating numbers. The next one isn’t for another 4 years, according to that other link that someone posted

Assuming that this timestamp is in seconds:

Relative: In 4 years

What if you distributed the tool under the normal channels, and then used gumroad (or anything similar) to sell an optional key that adds a little visual indicator or removes a nag message. I’ve seen a few other open source projects do that. Grayjay for example

For anyone that doesn’t agree with the decision in this article

Just set up a separate set of awards for AI artists and creators. Meat-bags and non-meat-bags can tune in if they care.

Win win for everyone.

Amnesty International did put something out in both of these cases.

For the first one, the additional link goes into why that testimony was initially included in their report before the correction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony

• https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v13/n03/alexander-cockburn/right-stuff

Nayirah’s story was initially corroborated by Amnesty International, which published a report about the supposed killings[3] and testimony from Kuwaiti evacuees. Following the liberation of Kuwait, international media crews were given access to the country. A report by ABC News found that “patients, including premature babies, did die, when many of Kuwait’s nurses and doctors … fled” but Iraqi troops “almost certainly had not stolen hospital incubators and left hundreds of Kuwaiti babies to die.”[4] Later, Amnesty International USA reacted by issuing a correction, with executive director John Healey subsequently accusing the George H. W. Bush administration of “opportunistic manipulation of the international human rights movement.”

The second one is more complex, but they’re mentioned there too

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violence_in_the_October_7_attacks

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International stated that these alleged confessions were likely extracted under torture, violate international law and basic human rights, and should be considered inadmissible as credible evidence.[61] They also called on the Israeli government to cease publishing such taped “confessions”.[61] Physicians for Human Rights Israel denounced these alleged taped confessions, citing “severe concern that the interrogations included the use of torture.”[64] The UN and reports by human rights organizations such as B’Tselem and media outlets have confirmed Israeli systematic use of torture during the Gaza war, including rape, gang-rape, sexualized torture and mutilation of detained Palestinian men, women and children by Israeli guards, including during interrogations.

My point is that, biases definitely exist and there is often selective reporting with news organizations.

I just find it weird to lump amnesty international in with all that when they seem to be one of the few that are actually calling out atrocities regardless of “sides”
