Honestly I get your frustration. Feeling like you’re being hidden away…

But I think you’re taking what you’ve got for granted. It sounds like your family is fairly liberal and well-meaning, but that doesn’t mean her’s is.

Even in the west, religious conservatism can get nasty real quick (especially for woman), so I can absolutely see why she might be scared to tell her family.

She probably doesn’t like hiding you in the shadows any more than you do - you should be careful putting your feelings over her well-being.

Yep. The feeling of knowing you’ve forgotten something is so annoying, especially when its important

LLMs are made to mimic how we speak, and some can even pass the Turing test, so I’m not surprised that people who don’t know better think of these LLMs as conscious in some way or another.

It’s not a necessarily a fault on those people, it’s a fault on how LLMs are purposefully misadvertised to the masses

Tell you what Nicole is really dedicated to making friends on here. Messaged just about everybody, with multiple accounts even. Definitely nothing suspicious about that /s

The fact that they’re still doing this means people are falling for it, and I feel sorry for those people, cause this scam is clearly designed to prey on those who feel lonely and are too naive to know better

Looks like the UK government isn’t the only one slobbering at thought of being able to invade people’s privacy

So not only was this multi-billion dollar, fortune 100 company too stingy to pay for training data, it was too stingy to reseed the data it pirated!

Either seed or don’t torrent. Don’t be a leech.

Trump Derangement Syndrome… Otherwise known as being rightfully angry/shocked/horrified at the things Trump has been allowed to get away with doing and keep doing - things that would’ve landed the average person in jail for multiple lifetimes.

I mean for fuck’s sake guy literally embezzled a charity, yet we’re crazy for thinking he’s a morally bankrupt person?

Working in a field were I have to perform a lot of these types of tests, you’d be surprised how many look like Covid tests at a glance - always look at the labelling.

Also, in this form factor you’d pee into a container and pipette a very small amount into the test using the (usually) accompanying tiny pipette.

I’d do another test to be sure, but even a faint line can indicate a positive result (similar to Covid tests of the same form factor)

Imagine getting stabbed with a bootleg CS:GO knife

I’d say I’m tech conservative/cynic with a bit of normie - as I’ve long accepted that forgoing big tech completely means losing the ability to talk to most of my friends and relatives (because there’s zilch chance of me convincing them to move away)

How the fuck do people keep giving him more money??

Most of his ventures are dumpster fires, and SpaceX only runs well because he doesn’t touch it.

You’d think this would be a fairly cut and dry issue - the countries helping Ukraine wouldn’t like it either if another country started negotiating terms on their behalf (especially not with a monster like Putin).

Ukraine and its people should be the ones to decide their own fate.

I swear people who think otherwise must’ve read David vs. Goliath and sided with the Goliath.

So Funko issued a non-apology blaming Brandshield.

Brandshield issued a non-apology blaming the registrar (Iwantmyname), and saying their AI tool definitely had nothing to do with it

And Iwantmyname hasn’t even put out a statement.

Fucked all around, yet it seems nobody will be facing consequence for this except Itch.io who got their website nuked out of nowhere.

Though if I were Itch, I’d get a new registrar ASAP.

The Internet Archive is currently fighting in the courts to maintain free digital library access to over 500,000 books they own from their own collection, yet Meta uses a pirated dataset of nearly 200,000 books to train their proprietary AI and is just allowed to get away with that??

Publishers will go after a charity making fair use of their content, but not the corporation outright stealing from them. What utter bollocks.

Just having read the README, even if it’s a little faffy, the idea of being able to converse with someone and have it be translated back in near real-time is awesome!

This is the kind of application I was looking forward to seeing come out of open source AI - I think it’d still be a little too clunky to save you in an emergency, but probably less clunky for most people than learning a new language or having a human translator on retainer haha
