  • Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

    This fits with the "Rumors" of technology company of this community.

  • I suggest putting bounty awards or running contest (prizes) for open source software related to Beehaw.... even $50 for certain feature, make a dedicated website maybe (Beehaw Bounty .org or something)

  • We are in an Information War and I don't see enough peer to peer friendships being made between The People of China and everyday people in USA, South America, Africa, North America, Europe, Australia, etc.

    I don't see China people on GitHub and YouTube like I did 5 years ago. Maybe the real war is power over technology and all of humanity isn't winning. Isn't that another way to interpret Climate Change, an education mistake on a global scale? Advertising and marketing defeating science teachers? The love for the singe-passenger automobile 9 to 5 commute job - exceeding the reality of global climate physics?

    Like they say in The Orville - Dolly Parton was a hero! she basically turned out to be a great teacher, like Mr. Rogers on the true problems of childhood. 9 to 5 was kind of like showing children what your divorced single mother was having to go through. Not to say that fit the relationships in the film itself, but the office environment of white collar world. The technology of the Office Workplace and the era of typewriters as business machines.

  • First Google Search Result for Tiananmen Square “Tank Man” Is AI Generated Selfie

  • we aren't far away from easily-made interactive images / video where people will be able to create realistic selfies / video clips of their own self - in famous situations. Like Forest Gump being inserted into meeting historic President. The appeal is too strong and it will likely create tons of highly upvoted/shared social media images distorting the original.

    People tend to treat detecting photoshop images as a game of one-upmanship, not as an importance of preserving a documented concept or situation for others to learn and understand.

  • I couldn’t get an unbiased all feed.

    Lemmy would crash if you fed it everything, that's why Lemmy.ml and lemmy.world were crashing so often since May, the SQL did not scale. Some of those problems have been fixed, but it was performing really badly at the time of the Reddit API cutoff.

    The admin headaches of a full feed from over a thousand unknown sources means you are opening yourself up to a lot of legal, copyright, porn, vote manipulation, unpredictable load surges, etc. I think it would have to be something people fund a lemmy site that promises to carry everything.

  • Admins can choose what they want on their sites. We should be able to easily curate what we have on our feeds.

    I think smart-clients are doing this where one feed on a client can even come from multiple accounts on different servers. Isn't that kind of how RSS readers did their browsing, blending multiple sources?

    There's been so many tools to move profiles around between servers, is is basically multi-reddit by server-login

  • The people hosting the instance are still responsible for the content being on their server, hiding it doesn't make that go away.

  • Today's Large Language Models are Essentially BS Machines

  • I think their creators have deliberately disconnected the runtime AI model from re-reading their own training material because it's a copyright and licensing nightmare.

  • I think public-facing they have to be that way, otherwise they would copyright infringe on their training material. Behind the scenes, I suspect that the wealthy can gain access to AI engines where the random response isn't set so high and they can even fact-check and cite their own training material better. It's really hard to imagine that they can debug these things without having any idea what training material influenced which pattern of associations. I sure don't buy that they don't have tools to trace back to training material.

    Right now consumer-facing AI wants to put in simple prompts and get back unique term papers each time you ask it the same question.
