The Dark Forest and Generative AI in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world

Yeah I think the "dark forest theory" is focused on human to human interaction / "civilized people" interacting with each other. And other people hiding from them. And "dark forest" is a misnomer because of this.

I would call it "dark ghost-town" theory.

    Some emoji are displaying incorrectly in my terminal ... (lemmy.ml)
     

    🙂‍↔️ in the screenshot you can see this shaking head emoji, as it is displayed in my terminal, it seems to not recognize the (newer) emoji made up of 2 unicode parts. 

    🙂‍+ ↔️ = 🙂‍↔️

    Do I need to update the emoji, font, where do I get one? Is there a configuration option in terminals, like xfce-terminal, for this?

    Other "bugs" include:

    • the oil-barrel emoji is way to big for some reason.
    • some emoji are colored, while some have only one color

    What is your experience with emojis in linux terminals, equally inconsistent to mine?

    Using Nvidia GPUs.

    When will Europe manufacture its own GPU brands instead of depending on U.S. hardware 🙄

    How many billions did they invest into NVIDIA and their locked down ecosystem by doing this.

    It’s like a dark forest that seems eerily devoid of human life – all the living creatures are hidden beneath the ground or up in trees. If they reveal themselves, they risk being attacked by automated predators.

    That dark forest is about to expand . Large Language Models (LLMs) that can instantly generate coherent swaths of human-like text have just joined the party.

    Would you agree that it is bad UI, or do you just expect social media platforms to be this way nowadays for users who are not logged in (to mitigate spamming of the search functionality I guess)?

    • Everything now have Wireless - WiFi, Bluetooth... Ways it can be turned against us. in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
    [–] 1 point 10 months ago*

    I prefer cables over Bluetooth and wifi:

    • Ethernet over WiFi
    • USB cable over Bluetooth
    • cabled headphone over Bluetooth headphone

    While this increases convenience this also introduces new attack vectors (denial of service by jamming for example, tracking, or impersonation and mtm attacks).

    Every person who uses wireless devices constantly emits signals into space. These can be obviously monitored, according to the laws of physics the inverse square law limits the range of such detection capabilities. Also depends on the electromagnetic noise in your environment: Jammers/other people.

    • Geolocation with wifi environment.

    storage dot googleapis dot com (storage.googleapis.com)
     

    While browsing the web I look at the resources webpages want to load.

    Sometimes (not that rare) they attempt to load scripts and resources from google owned domains:

    • google fonts
    • storage.googleapis.com
    • ajax.googleapis.com
    • gstatic (I assume this is also some google shit)
    • youtube (obviously)

    Are you more distrustful of such sites, do you block their resource loading attempts? What are other google services/domains like this, often embedded into 3rd party websites?

    I use decentraleyes and block js from loading using no scripts, I use a few other extensions two but those are the main ones

    This is a cool new feature:

    Post scheduling: Specify when your post should be published.

    While I think this feature is useful, potentially even to increase user anonymity by hiding their usage patterns more, could people abuse it, and spam posts scheduled 100 years in the future?

    Missouri Senate passes Trump-backed plan that could get Republicans another US House seat (www.trtworld.com)
     

    Missouri is the third American state to take up mid-decade redistricting in an emerging national battle for partisan advantage ahead of 2026 midterm elections.

    Segregation line between Black, white residents

    Trump is trying to stave off a historic trend in which the president's party typically loses seats in midterm elections.

    Republicans currently hold six of Missouri's eight US House seats.

    The revised map passed the state House earlier this week as the focal point of a special session called by Kehoe.

    Missouri's revised map targets a seat held by Democratic US Representative Emanuel Cleaver by shaving off portions of his Kansas City district and stretching the rest of it into Republican-heavy rural areas.

    The plan reduces the number of Black and minority residents in Cleaver's district, partly by creating a dividing line along a street that Cleaver said had been a historical segregation line between Black and white residents.

    US appeals court rules Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' can remain open for now (trtworld.com)
     

    ... But a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that the detention centre can remain open while a Trump administration appeal of the shutdown order is being heard.

    The majority ruled that the project — which has been funded by the state of Florida — did not trigger the kind of environmental review needed for federally funded construction projects.

    Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit arguing that the facility threatens the sensitive Everglades wetlands ecosystem and was hastily built without the legally required environmental impact studies. ...
