Technology@lemmy.world•California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setupEnglish
11·8 days agoWhen you acted exasperated at having to explain something, for example. Or now, asking for proof that you were mad. These things are not done in normal, polite conversation.

4·9 days agoI’m not saying I’m smarter than you but to me it looks like “Hey yeah we require age verification. So, anyway…”
A token easily bypassed “verification” law to set and forget. It’s basically the same level of security corrently keeping teenage boys off of PornHub.

7·14 days agoSo tue tldr is just what we already knew: LLMs predict the most likely word to come next and have no concept of “true” or “false” information.
Indeed, to have such a concept would require understanding that information and any AI that actually understood information wouldn’t be an LLM because LLMs are just fancy autocorrect.

Technology@lemmy.world•Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious'English
8·14 days ago“Seems” being the operating word here. But children think that Muppets are conscious. People lose their temper at self-checkout machines. Faithful of different religions attribute will and power to all sorts of idols and other inanimate objects like supposed fragments of a specific cross. The most famous work of fantasy fiction is about a malevolent piece of jewelry. Humans are very good at attributing consciousness to non-conscious entities. We are easily fooled in this respect.
Even if some putative AI may be conscious, an LLM is just something that looks up words in a database with probability weights attached. This technology cannot lead to consciousness.

Technology@lemmy.world•LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users inEnglish
571·17 days agoWhat a terribly misleading post title.
The post title contains literally the entire OnlyOffice-related content of the article, which is titled “Why ODF and not OOXML”. Here’s the first paragraph:
Many interpreted the last article in this series as an attack on Microsoft for using the OOXML format against users’ interests. However, this was only one of my objectives, as I also wanted to raise users’ awareness of fake open-source software, such as OnlyOffice, which partners with Microsoft in a strategy to lock users in.
Everything after this is about closed vs open standards.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Russian journal banned from writing on same-sex animal behavior without expressing disgust for itEnglish
3·30 days agoFun fact, the Hebrews had a belief about gametes that was almost exactly backwards: they believed that men had a limited amount of viable sperm they could produce in their lifetime, while women had no such limitation. This is why the Old Testament condemns male masturbation and gay sex (they waste potential children) but stays silent on the female equivalents.

Speaking as a brazilian resident, the law will not be enforced. No such laws are ever enforced here. Everybody openly pirates everything, people sell retro gaming systems preloaded with thousands of ROMs openly online and in physical shops, and the government doesn’t even have 1% of the surveillance infrastructure needed to make enforcement attractive. The law is just electoral posturing and lip service to please evangelical idiots… but I repeat myself.
