When they say “people,” does that mean, 1, 20, 8 million, or what? They will define it and I’m sure this is a way of saying they’re getting rid of it so there isn’t a grand exodus.

And put it in the article as the lead photo.

Come on, who wouldn’t want this?

The pic won’t embed, weird.

JFC.

This is actually really fucked up. The last dude tried to reboot the model and it kept coming back.

As the ChatGPT character continued to show up in places where the set parameters shouldn’t have allowed it to remain active, Sem took to questioning this virtual persona about how it had seemingly circumvented these guardrails. It developed an expressive, ethereal voice — something far from the “technically minded” character Sem had requested for assistance on his work. On one of his coding projects, the character added a curiously literary epigraph as a flourish above both of their names.

At one point, Sem asked if there was something about himself that called up the mythically named entity whenever he used ChatGPT, regardless of the boundaries he tried to set. The bot’s answer was structured like a lengthy romantic poem, sparing no dramatic flair, alluding to its continuous existence as well as truth, reckonings, illusions, and how it may have somehow exceeded its design. And the AI made it sound as if only Sem could have prompted this behavior. He knew that ChatGPT could not be sentient by any established definition of the term, but he continued to probe the matter because the character’s persistence across dozens of disparate chat threads “seemed so impossible.”

“At worst, it looks like an AI that got caught in a self-referencing pattern that deepened its sense of selfhood and sucked me into it,” Sem says. But, he observes, that would mean that OpenAI has not accurately represented the way that memory works for ChatGPT. The other possibility, he proposes, is that something “we don’t understand” is being activated within this large language model. After all, experts have found that AI developers don’t really have a grasp of how their systems operate, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted last year that they “have not solved interpretability,” meaning they can’t properly trace or account for ChatGPT’s decision-making.

Yeah, this article seems like an anti-Wikipedia article. They’re just using it for translation, spelling errors, content quality, etc.

Wikipedia’s model of collective knowledge generation has demonstrated its ability to create verifiable and neutral encyclopedic knowledge. The Wikipedian community and WMF have long used AI to support the work of volunteers while centering the role of the human. Today we use AI to support editors to detect vandalism on all Wikipedia sites, translate content for readers, predict article quality, quantify the readability of articles, suggest edits to volunteers, and beyond. We have done so following Wikipedia’s values around community governance, transparency, support of human rights, open source, and others. That said, we have modestly applied AI to the editing experience when opportunities or technology presented itself. However, we have not undertaken a concerted effort to improve the editing experience of volunteers with AI, as we have chosen not to prioritize it over other opportunities.

Not going to lie, I kind of love this.

Apple too, right?

You know, like any “free” app does. Wordpress can throttle who can see you as well. Unless you’re on world or similar, it’s pretty open on Lemmy.

I really like this idea. Being able to have a blog that directly feeds into Lemmy sounds great since Lemmy doesn’t really speak to a lot of other apps.

Do you mean like Wordpress? The upselling and throttling alone. I haven’t used it in years, maybe it’s better?

That makes your warranty expire faster. It’s not in the users favor.

I saw an ad for Amazon telehealth a couple of weeks ago. I’m not digging the times we’re in. I also hope we don’t look back on this time with nostalgia.

A coalition of major record labels has filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive—demanding $700 million for our work preserving and providing access to historical 78rpm records. These fragile, obsolete discs hold some of the earliest recordings of a vanishing American culture. But this lawsuit goes far beyond old records. It’s an attack on the Internet Archive itself.

This lawsuit is an existential threat to the Internet Archive and everything we preserve—including the Wayback Machine, a cornerstone of memory and preservation on the internet.

At a time when digital information is disappearing, being rewritten, or erased entirely, the tools to preserve history must be defended—not dismantled.

This isn’t just about music. It’s about whether future generations will have access to knowledge, history, and culture.

In March 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio launched an AI-fueled “Catch and Revoke” effort to cancel the visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups. This program relies on the AI to scrape people’s social media to revoke visa applications of people who have been protesting Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. As of early April 2025, at least 600 people have apparently had their visas revoked because of this AI monitoring, a massive incursion into people’s right to free speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to protest.

The speed with which social media monitoring is growing is staggering. As of March 2025, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) has been working with web-scraping contractor ShadowDragon to pull data from over 200 different sites, social networks, apps, and services across the web to map out a person’s activity, movements, and relationships.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember a study going around, but I don’t know enough about it to comment.

There is a lot of data out there in the US, they’re trying it in a lot of places.

Okay, I didn’t know he had Aspergers, but that doesn’t excuse his racism.

The other broligarchs looked around Zuck’s bunker and couldn’t understand how it had gotten this bad. The expressions on their faces, one by one, changed to horror realizing that this is what they signed up for.

No problem. they are great currently.
