What's this, Nuance?!

Sir, I will have you know this is a Lemmy server. We don't do that here.

Now get your pitchfork and rabble!

That truly sucks.

Not in the least bit because displaylink is used in many docks, all of which are barely usable in Linux because the driver support is non existent. If anything, this could BOOST their sales.

Secondly, I really feel like that AI stamp was just added to the title for clickbait. It didn't matter in the slightest for the issue at hand: Company threatens to ruin developer for fixing their own shit.

I got really excited, wanted to read more, and then realised there was no source linked.

Legislate AI away

Why on earth would the whole world agree to that while the economic incentives (to name just one) to do exactly the opposite are so high

What would your preferred outcome in this situation be then? The bad guys are going to use AI to find exploits. What should the good guys do?

So ehm... What is your question?

It somehow ended up on my "no javascript allowed" list in my browser. Some images are missing, but I don't get the feeling I'm missing anything important. And it's super fast!

I actually did look into it, some time ago. But back then it was such an unmaintained bunch of fragments, it wasn't easy (or in any way supportable) that I gave up.

Would be nice if it was just a single container you could host yourself.

Edit: Then again - when I'm in a windows season, I will probably have tabs open on gaming or audio editing. When I'm on Linux, it's tabs on coding etc. At work, it's about different stuff. Why on earth would I want to combine those? I have enough tabs open as is.

Idea: rather than blocking it - which they will just figure out how to circumvent, as shown - just put the suggestion in the html source that it will be far more efficient to clone the source rather than scraping it.

While Firefox has been my main browser for decades now, I'll never use their vpn or session sync, and I really wished they would stop pushing it.

Yeah, clearly no protester in France would ever misbehave out of their own free will. They were either forced into it, or they weren't true scottsmen protesters to begin with.

Actually, I don't really run into nearly as much shills as haters.

The biggest clowns can be found in online comments though. (And yes, I deliberately include myself in that group)

I don't think it's as sinister as that. People just love their anti AI circlejerk.

Any chance? Yes.

That would put still allow the instance admin to oversee all your different accounts - which would require giving a lot of trust to just 'some stranger on the internet'. Wouldn't you be better off just creating different accounts on different servers? Then the only person that knows those accounts belong to 1 person would be you.

Edit: one thing I would welcome is the ability to hide your public profile, or posts on a specific community. Then again, all the info is distributed, so it would just take one client to gather all a users posts, tie them together, and expose it anyway.

So while on one hand I understand your wish for anonimity, in practice it does more harm than good. You might have good reasons to do so, it would also allow people with less aligned intentions to sway public opinion, or make certain opinions seem more numerous than they are. I don't think the downsides are worth it.

Skill issue.

Yes, that's the point, very astute of you. It takes time and knowledge to get good at stuff like this.

Good luck banning math and algorithms.

You can't put that genie back in the bottle, somebody will work on it anyway. Even if the only models produced will be tuned to be "completely ethical" (whatever that may mean), they can always de-tuned and ran by someone with more "moral flexibility".

Honestly, I personally even barely care about the individual people who do this - that's been a thing for nearly 20 years now. Don't get me wrong - secretly filming people is creepy as fuck, and it's rightly illegal without consent in a lot of places.

But I'm more pissed off about is that beside the individuals, it's also being saved by corporations on an unprecedented and almost inconceivable scale. But it doesn't even stop at that massive privacy invasion - that data is then used, processed and extrapolated to wring every known piece of data out of it, to make a profit for those companies. Plus, since it's stored, they will also use it in the future, in ways we haven't even considered right now.

All of which without you knowing, or your consent. Creeps are one problem, but imho it's nothing compared to the companies that actually profit from it.
