There is legitimate research on the effects of ingesting methylene blue. Don’t confuse that with pseudoscience. There’s probably plenty of pseudoscience around it, but it’s not (at its core) naturopathy/homeopathy/voodoo.

Just started using Linkwarden, been cool so far.

No, it’s obvious to anyone with a brain. If the commenter seriously thought it might have been a false positive when they read the original comment, they never would have relayed their thought the way they did in their reply, and it is so clearly a reference to the content of the post that to analyze it even that deeply is overkill. To anyone reading this who is a native English speaker: if you think that comment needs a “/s”, you need to work on your reading comprehension. Read things more carefully.

Since always, without a subpoena. Until PRISM, at least.

/e/?

That’s not the issue I was replying to at all.

replace jobs wholesale with no oversight or understanding that need a human to curate the output

Yeah, that sucks, and it’s pretty stupid, too, because LLMs are not good replacements for humans in most respects.

Don’t “other” me just because I’m correcting misinformation. I’m not a fan of corporate bullshit either. Misinformation is misinformation, though. If you have a strong opinion about something, then you should know what you’re talking about. LLMs are a nuanced subject, and they are here to stay, for better or worse.

Yep, you’re exactly right. That’s a great way to express it.

This is an increasingly bad take. If you work in an industry where LLMs are becoming very useful, you would realize that hallucinations are a minor inconvenience at best for the applications they are well suited for, and the tools are getting better by leaps and bounds, week by week.

edit: Like it or not, it’s true. I use LLMs at work, most of my colleagues do too, and none of us use the output raw. Hallucinations are not an issue when you are actively collaborating with the model and not using it to either “know things for you” or “do the work for you.” Neither of those things are what LLMs are really good at, but that’s what most laypeople use them for, so these criticisms are very obviously short-sighted to those of us who have real-world experience with them in a domain where they work well.

Your own logic can be applied in the reverse to argue for nonviolent diplomatic alternatives to war (like this) being a good thing even if they are not perfectly good or the best option.

FWIW:

1. Around then, captchas were turned off by default for a short period of time (very stupidly, IMO), if I remember correctly, and a lot of bots were registered on a good number of instances. It was also when a lot of new instances were sprouting up because Lemmy was just gaining momentum.
2. I have personally let certain things I host go on for years without checking them, because developers have ADHD more often than not, and autopay will keep your zombie in service for a long time if it’s not making a dent big enough to make you shut it down (hosting a low-activity anything is not usually very expensive).

Not impossible that it’s just an absent admin.

I’m pretty sure they’re just referring to using the techniques to replicate things after learning, not hallucinating the whole game as if it would be a 1:1 copy.

“Is it right?” Are you kidding? Yes, it’s obviously a better alternative than invading another country and killing people. It’s one of the ways we have learned, as a species, to avoid massive wars and losses of life. If you’re advocating for war as an alternative then you should fuck off and die so you don’t get other people killed in the process.

Yeah, they claim that as of 2022 they had trillions of messages in their database, and this website claims four billion messages are sent per day as of 2022, apparently according to Discord, although I wasn’t able to verify that source.

No, it’s definitely still valuable. It’s one of the biggest repositories of human-to-human communication on the web. I’m sure it will be even more valuable moving forward because you don’t want to train LLM models on LLM-generated stuff, and there isn’t as much incentive on a platform like Discord for bots to masquerade as users… unlike on a persistent public and searchable forum like Reddit, where there are obvious incentives to fabricate posts and comments to sell stuff/astroturf/spin public opinion. Bots exist, of course, but they’re identifiable and can be excluded.

Nope, but I can see the very recent past, and all signs point to an already-captured government and the moneyed interests behind that capture solidifying their influence on public opinion through a similarly captured media and social media landscape.

Those examples all relate to why we will not have another legitimate election in the US. We’ll be able to vote again. It just won’t matter. Elections take place in fascist countries all over the world. They aren’t real. You cannot vote fascists out of power. They have been given power in the US and they will now keep it.

Presumably you have heard about the government agencies being shuttered, unvetted no-security-clearance ex-hackers being given write access to government systems, the three branches of government being controlled by the offending party, including the one that decides whether laws are constitutional or not, open embrace of fascist rhetoric, symbols, and traditional talking points, door to door ICE, election interference, widely reported foreign influence, widely reported billionaire influence, discussion from POTUS himself about annexing other countries, Jesus I could keep going for miles but it’s not remotely necessary

It’s too fucking late. Who gives a shit how he’s going to vote next cycle? There will not be a legitimate vote next cycle. Pushing people like him away? It’s over. There are no more chances. It’s all a show from here on out. That is not an exaggeration.

Which young politicians and new media commentators would you point to? I need new people to follow.

“The revolution will be federated” fuck yeah
