This is it exactly.

“But how can we know if it’s a bot?”

We probably can’t based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.

Great read, I was unfamiliar with this publication. Thanks for sharing.

Lissen is my favorite audiobook player

I like that unlike Chrome, Firefox mobile can use all the extensions.

CasaOS or YunoHost are great places to start and hold your hand the whole way, while allowing you to tip toe into more advanced setups later on as you learn.

I love this idea.

My first thought when GPT first released was “oh this is how search engines will be able to serve ads without disclosing that they are serving ads”

It’s for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.

Not saying you’re wrong (pretty sure you’re not) but important to remember that the reason LLMs use a lot of em dashes is because it features so prominently in journalism.

Importantly, the WhoSampled you know and love is here to stay as a standalone platform and brand. It will continue to operate much as it always has

That Matthew Hodgson quote is good.

“Unhappy users tend to be disproportionately loud given the issues at stake, and there’s a huge risk of optimizing to appease those who shout loudest in the short-term rather than find medium-term solutions which solve for everyone.”

Y’all know damn well Corridor8031 didn’t donate a dime.

I actually learned of this when the Material You Home Assistant addon updated yesterday. Kudos to the dev for being extremely on the ball.

This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.

Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

Who could foresee that that when a movement doesn’t ban Nazis, Nazis take it over?

I have no issue with using AI to find otherwise undiscovered security bugs. But attempting to fixing them with AI I’m not in favor of.

They’re essentially making the argument that if you accept that a civilization can eradicate itself (via nuclear war, climate change, plague, a generation of ipad kids, etc etc) even if you calculate that chance of eradication to be infinitesimally small, then given cosmic time scales it becomes a near inevitability.

But if you choose to believe (without evidence) that an interstellar civilization exists that definitionally can’t be eradicated by any means then yes, definitionally that civilization will persist.

Sort of. The article is making the argument that on a cosmic timescale, one won’t even need a “great filter” to explain Fermi’s paradox. Any civilization with even a minuscule chance of eradicating itself will eventually do so given billions of years.
