nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen adsEnglish73·1 month agoThat’s crazy.
Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.
I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I’ve been reading “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford and you’re right. So much of the data that they’re trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it’s probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.
I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn’t a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it’s worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.
I was honestly impressed with the speed and accuracy I was getting with Deepseek, llama, and Gemma on my 1660ti.
$100 used and it was seconds to get responses.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why selfhosted social media protocols are hated ?English3·1 month agoDespite everything. I was considering giving it a try, just to see.
But your right, if there’s a CSAM community on there I would inevitably host it to.
So I will not be trying plebbit

nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI DelusionsEnglish45·1 month agoI think Terry A Davis would have found god in chat GPT and could have figured out the API calls on TempleOS
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•[is this LEGIT ?] Piracy Stewie on Instagram: "Free chat gpt tutorial!! Halal method at the end!!"English18·1 month agoI just assume anything that promises free stuff on Instagram reels is in fact a scam or a hack.
Also I’m not getting on that shit site to confirm it’s true.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Opposition to Gaza war grows among Israeli soldiers as strikes ramp upEnglish13·1 month agoIsrael has a history of ostracising those they deem “cowards” in society.
Just look into how they remembered the Holocaust and how they treated the survivors.
I both hope those brave soldiers stay in Israel to lead a change and hope they don’t let the state crush them with the gleeful support of the fascist civilian population.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•CRSED: Cuisine Royale devs confirm end of Linux / Steam Deck supportEnglish6·1 month agoDunno how big they are. Might be a technical disconnect between the PR person and the devs.
I can excuse a marketing person making this whoopsie, but a dev? Come on you 100% saw the copypasta
nagaram@startrek.websiteto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.20·1 month agoThere’s a reason they tell you NOT to use a knife in a self defense scenario. It is nearly impossible to defend especially if you kill the attacker.
I think you statistically have a better chance of getting away with “executioner style” shots with a gun than knife use in self defense.
This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.

That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Help extracting kindle booksEnglish4·1 month agoLots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you’d have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.
There’s an author I’ve become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that’s just where the masses are still and it’s hard to break that momentum.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propagandaEnglish111·1 month agoI’m sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the “counter terrorists” on Dust 2 as well.
It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propagandaEnglish7·1 month agoMakes sense. The government probably didn’t want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.
New Player: “My Wizard casts fireball targeting the king!”
Me: “Actually that doesn’t happen y-”
NP: “Did a hidden wizard cast counter spell! I can-”
Me: “No I just won’t let you do that. Try to ruin our game again and I’ll ban you from the discord.”
Np: “Oh.”
