Giving my daughter my Appalachian accent as a Minnesotan. #Prank

@adamshostack@infosec.exchange If ChatGPT won't tell me the lyrics of a song, it probably won't launch a nuclear bomb.
kinda sucks to be in the downfall of your empire. the only thing i like is tech and we're positioning ourselves to isolate from the world and let china become the new tech leader.
Took a lot of work, but finally got hardware accelerated video decoding working in #Waterfox with #NVIDIA on #Linux. Stale packaging in #Mint bit me in the ass and I had to rebuild the `nvidia-vaapi-driver` from source to get the newest version that finally worked with the v595 graphics driver. Feeling pretty smug right now. :smug:
Man, #foregejo is well written software. Top notch.

LOL. Supply chain attack? Easy, just check the source of every dependency your project uses. :very_funny:

@sb@metroholografix.ca @brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.org Big assumption that one is able to "steal" from the human cultural commons. Not everyone shares that philosophy.
heehee :overwatch:
This is why I have my doubts about a Democrat winning the next presidential election.

@sb@metroholografix.ca @brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.org If you can't monopolize/capitalize ideas and art, then you can't steal it, thus LLMs are perfectly ethical. I think that was your point, yes? That LLMs are unethical for stealing content and "repackaging" it?
Just saw a white lady referred to as a "lightly salted hoe" and wow

Jesus Christ what a cunt. :disappointment:
Accidentally allocated a VM 360 GB of RAM. :very_funny:

@ramsey@phpc.social @carnage4life@mas.to no, it's just straight up not a crime. And the fact that they're doing it too indicates that *they* know it's not a crime.
Absolutely amazing thread. No notes. You'll never guess the plot twist.
I dunno much about the #WorldEconomicForum, but it seems that the twitter no-funs are almost purposely misinterpreting what this lady is saying. But this guy gets it.

@subterfugue@sfba.social @sb@metroholografix.ca @brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.org First, I dont respect current copyright law. Second, their use of copyrighted material is purely transformational; the new form is entirely different than the component parts. That fits any sane definition of "fair use".
Whether or not Anthropic is a good company or not is a different argument. All companies are evil in some way or another. That's the nature of capitalism. But your claim of theft is resting on some philosophical assumptions that aren't universal.
Listening to the Terminally Online podcast and Leah Litman roasted Jon Lovett for still being on Twitter cause "[she's] not a Nazi!" And then the thing she shared was a Substack page.
This is why I have a hard time caring when people call everything a Nazi Bar™©®. We all use and love stuff that is morally impure, if you even believe there is morality attached to that stuff anyway.
Perhaps I myself am too chronically online lol.
My local library has a nice calendar page with event filters for age group, location, etc. But no #RSS or #ICS feed, just non-standard #HTML formatted search results. So I'm currently wrangling #Codex into writing a middle-man service that uses ReaderLM-v2 to standardize the results into json, which can then be served as ICS data for calendar readers.

Amazing ad for a local #pizza place.

Nothing makes my blood boil more than stereotypical middle class people's views on the homeless.
deranged. absolutely not.
Crucify me if you want but Google is getting pretty good as an answer machine. 🤷
Even though I'm a believer in (the truth of) the Hasanabi Doctorine, but I'm not sure that #Iran really needs a nuclear weapon if they can shut down a single waterway, bomb a couple of oil refineries in neighboring countries, and bring about the end times. Seems like that *is* their nuke.
y'all remember that brief period of time where filters that made people smile or changed their gender was all the rage and blowing people's minds?

@TheTenuousOrder@meow.social @me@jaehanley.social Turns out that came to pass. Operating without a cellphone in the modern world is annoying at best and impossible at worst.
In case any of you #AI #nerds need a #BERT model trained to score toxicity in text, I took the time to train one myself that has a proper and permissive #Apache2 license. All the ones I found that did this weren't licensed and therefore not suitable for public distribution.

@triz Expertise is always worth pursuing because human growth is valuable in and of itself; for both practical and moral reasons. I also value having an impact on the world and tools that help me do that more effectively.

Turns out ReaderLM was too small a model to accurately transcribe dates. Moved to a deterministic translation method. Works perfectly now.
Well, I guess they do have me pegged as a nerdy white guy approaching 40. :very_funny: :smug:

i'd listen for sure. some of these fuckers need put in their place.
I assure you this entire Tiktok channel is very funny if you have a very specific kind of brain damage.
