You can tell it’s AI because the person is all distorted, and now they don’t seem to have the right number of fingers and limbs.

Yes, that’s very correct too.

Wasn’t the point I was trying to get across though.

But I get it, morality and ethics are very broad and gray, and people differ in what they think is okay. Some people would feel uncomfortable and do what they can to avoid it, while others think, eh, no harm, no foul, I’m just looking, right?

I do have to wonder what feelings if any the latter get if they get caught doing it. Again, probably a mix.

If you have consent, sure.

Unfortunately because of how federation works you don’t get a single All page that has everything already decided for you or linked to all that is out there. It sucks that it does require a bit of knowledge and effort before you start seeing things come in, and maybe one day there will be better newbie paths. It’s better than it was early on where it was total confusion on how to pick an instance or how anything even works.

What’s funny is that the best part of Reddit was always the small niche subreddits.

Never thought about it, but don’t most of their movies have 4th wall breaks anyway?

It’s all Republicans, and some Democrats. Oh, and some Republicans that label themselves as Democrats, even running as one. Which should be illegal and prosecutable as election fraud.

Pigeon on a chess board. With an audience clapping and saying they’ve never seen anyone play the game quite that way. Genius.

Yes and no. He gave the orders. He didn’t actually do the actions to make them happen. “I was just following orders” still doesn’t work.

if anything else happens that is ACTUALLY important

Then his leadership and tactical brilliance will…

Oh, we’re fucked, right?

An organism living in, on, or with another organism in order to obtain nutrients, grow, or multiply often in a state that directly or indirectly harms the host. The ends to the mean is worth the sacrifice to most mothers and often intentionally planned for or accepted, but yes, a fetus qualifies.

As far as using it as an argument, no, it won’t work for various reasons. But as presented as a question of definition…

GOP hates people. Nothing new except in finding ways to hurt everyone more.

Once we get rid of that pesky AMOC, it should cool back down quickly. Or at least make things different.

A habit of mine, to type something into search suggestions that my brain thinks might not be right. First thing that comes up with “amoc” is “amoc collapse news”. Whee.

That’s a great summary, and now so many of the posts complaining about how Lemmy didn’t feel different than what they had come from suddenly could have been a red flag that no one understood. Maybe not, but sure seems a bit correlated.

The code being run by any instance could be changed? Just don’t use the same passwords anywhere else or share personal information and it doesn’t matter outside of that instance’s security.

When a company voluntarily takes its product from the shelf, you know it’s a bad time. I would say it was maybe from a recommendation from the FDA, but they aren’t what they used to be. So much winning.

I’ve been lucky in that in the few interactions I’ve had, they’ve been mostly courteous and to the point. It’s usually been about a car tag and my fault. But they either gave a warning or a ticket that I could avoid by taking care of the tag. It does help I’m a white male.

There was one though, long ago when I was just 18. He probably let me go for the same reason, white male, and I was scared to death. But his first line was that I was speeding. I looked at my Dodge Aries K-Car and even in my fright almost laughed. In this POS? Really? I think because it was late at night and I happened to get in his way he was being pissy. He also said I should pay attention to my rear mirror as he had his lights on the whole mile before the interchange where I pulled over. Total BS. We all know how damn bright those lights are.

That’s the kicker, when they finally let you go all pissed off because YOU wasted THEIR time.

Could be a type of loss.

No, LLMs have no agency of their own. They are powerful tools that with the right direction (from humans) and open access to things can do great harm. We’ve been seeing that. The carryover to any AGI potential isn’t that LLMs can become aware, but that the same issues can occur with any AGI that does happen, if ever. And we’re doing terrible on applying safety and restrictions to the tool that isn’t aware, so not great for any future developments. It’s too bad you have no knowledge of the many references in fiction (maybe you do in books?) Fiction writers are great at warning about the direction of society, they just tend to get ignored because… well, it’s fiction. Until it’s not.

Skynet and its other fiction counterparts became aware in seconds, determined humans were the problem, and acted before we had a clue. I kind of felt bad for Ultron as depicted in the movie… he might not have gone full insane if he hadn’t been exposed to the total history of mankind right away. The “oh, no”.
