@puniko @mntmn da macht man eiiiinmal eine ausnahme und wird sofort angepflaumt. but i hear you. ist gelöscht.

@puniko @mntmn we had the same thought

@gamingonlinux cant spell steamos without te amo

@gamingonlinux

i feel that all big breakthroughs experience massive setbacks as soon as a critical number of people competent enough to get involved with it understand the risks and choose to refuse.

the atomic bomb. space travel. artificial intelligence. every time there is an untold story of geniuses who simply do not engage, because they see the greater picture. *these* are the real aliens who refuse to gift their potential technology, because the douchebaggy so-called "elite" of humanity isn't ready.

@evan @peterbrown @straphanger fair, fair. but have you considered the joy of getting somewhere fast?

warming myself on this post like it's a space heater

@clarity they wander amongst us - in this very place 👻

you're a lawyer.

you run gcc without arguments.

it says:

"gcc: fatal error: no input files"

puzzled, you consult the dictionary.

fatal: causing death. leading to failure or disaster.

error: a mistake. the state or condition of being wrong in conduct or judgement.

is starting gcc without arguments equivalent to making a mistake, a wrong action that leads to deadly failure or disaster? did you just kill someone? did you commit a felony? now you are panicking. you turn off the pc.

wife has now to prove in court to a commercial infringer that her work is not ai generated. what a time to be alive.

if i were paranoid i would think the reason why genai is allowed to be is to make sure people would rather talk to a machine before they talk to each other.

because people talking to people is the beginning of all trouble if you think about it.

a job is a trap? people talk to people.
a product is toxic? people talk to people.
the big shots messed up? people talk to people.

if nobody has any friends, then it's finally quiet in the woods.

is what i would think if i were paranoid.

@mcc i kind of forgot that in my early 20's i had already figured out how and why paid software would never be truly reliable. it's a fundamentally doomed model. i argued this fervently with my colleagues.

but we all worked for software companies, and their success depended on not taking me seriously, so they preferred making counterarguments until i thought "maybe it doesn't matter after all".

@dalias @soatok i don't mean to be the bearer of bad news but if these systems would only plagiarize it would certainly be easier to dismiss em. they also inter- and extrapolate, which, if a human had done it, would be counted as original work. of course that's not all that creative work is, and so it's quite limited.

overfitting is undesirable, because it turns a fuzzy database into a regular database - then it's not plagiarism, it's a straight up copyright violation.

@dalias @soatok "they"

@lanodan @Truck @drq "contaminates"? it's hardly this dramatic. you'll survive it.

and what you wish for should also exist.

@drq @Truck @lanodan are we losing? i didn't notice.

but my position is this: more options in the OSS space are always better.

@whitequark captcha tests should be more like "which of these persons healthcare should be stripped away?" and regardless of who you pick, you fail the test

@whitequark isn't the purpose of the test to determine if someone's human?
