which OpenAI designed to feel like a user’s closest confidant.
“AI safety,” they cry, as they design some of the most preposterous and dangerously stupid things imaginable. I swear, Silicon Valley only uses creativity when they want to invent a new kind of Torment Nexus to use as a goal for Q4.
Making something like this should be a crime. LLMs are not a replacement for therapy and should never be treated like one.
Hard disagree. This is overdone tripe, which is what AI is best at. Hell, it’s definitionally overdone — need a large dataset to regurgitate this stuff, after all.
At any rate, this text got a man killed, so probably best not to praise it.
These aren’t rules. What’s happening is that you’re new to the site and are making some mistakes as a result of a lack of familiarity, which people are noticing. Which is fine. Nobody’s pissed at you, so don’t take it too seriously.
Anyway,
i can’t find any way to update my password so i can’t login on other devices as my password doesn’t work anymore for some reason.
I don’t know if the site you signed up on works the way Beehaw does, but since it’s still Lemmy, you should be able to change your password on the right side of the user settings page, which for Beehaw is at https://beehaw.org/settings and so I’d assume a simple, similar URL would be available for your instance.
ffs what are you people complaining about? a citizen is murdered LIVE on camera and all you are interested in is my lack of punctuation?
Yes. I care about that and am furious at my government, but there’s nothing I can do about that here except to say that it’s horrible. I think it’s safe to say we all already agree on that, so what’s the point?
The part I care about here is whether or not you’re a real person, which I have more faith in now that you’ve replied, but which your initial posts absolutely did not give the impression of. So that’s what I addressed. As for your capitalization, I don’t care. That’s Powderhorn’s business. Though I genuinely can’t tell if the reasoning behind all-lowercase is a joke or not?
now go fuck yourselves and mind your own fucking business.
Look, there’s probably no way to link the code of conduct for this instance to you in a way that feels respectful, so just humor me and give it a skim, please?
or Brave
Uuhhh, yeah, no. Don’t do this. Librewolf – or really any Firefox browser, even with how Mozilla is right now – is going to be a lot better choice than the homophobia-and-crypto Chromium browser.
Honestly, it’s not the most important part of this post, but I can’t help but agree. I don’t mind the capitalization, so much as the fact the text on both this post and this one appears to be trying to cosplay as a news organization. Who the hell even says “BREAKING NEWS” when they literally aren’t a reporter or journalist of any sort? It makes me think of fake news-org grifts and drives me up a wall. This site doesn’t even use hashtags!
Edit: Literally every single post this user has made on Lemmy is written like this. Genuinely starting to wonder if OP is a bot.
Not even three fucking days into the new year and I get to see something in the news that reminds me of the 1938 annexation of Austria. Jesus Christ.
It is a blogging site, but it’s also notable for being in favor of free-speech absolutism, to the point of allowing Nazis on the platform. From Wikipedia:
In January 2022, the Center for Countering Digital Hate accused Substack of allowing content that could be dangerous to public health. The Center estimated that the company earned $2.5 million per year from the top five anti-vaccine authors alone. The three founders responded via blog post affirming their commitment to minimal censorship.
Substack faced further criticism in November 2023 for allowing its platform to be used by white nationalists, Nazis, and antisemites. In an open letter, more than 100 Substack creators threatened to leave the platform and implored Substack’s leadership to stop giving bigotry a platform. In response, Substack CEO Hamish McKenzie said the company would continue to allow the publication of extremist views because attempting to censor them would make the problem worse. Creators like Casey Newton, Molly White, and Ryan Broderick left the platform as a result.
Doesn’t really matter if they say it’s praise or not. The reality is that it’s free press, and hardly could be said to be negative. It benefits them.
???
I have a suspicion that you once heard someone say something similar to what I’ve said here, and that they followed it with something hateful towards you, obscenely stupid, something you disagree with intensely, or some combination of those. Now is a good time to remind you that I’m not them.
If it makes you feel any better, try to remember that Henry Kissinger is dead.
telesur
So, there’s some important context on this outlet that I think should be posted:
Telesur (stylized as teleSUR) is a Latin American terrestrial and satellite news television network headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela, and sponsored by the governments of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.
I distrust the U.S. – especially the current admin – plenty. Election interference would be neither surprising or new. But considering how this is a biased source at best, I don’t think it’s very trustworthy either. I’m open to the possibility, but I’m not taking it from this site.
Edit: After some light digging, here’s some other reading options:
2025 Honduras National Elections: Allegations of fraud and external interference (Wikipedia)
Hondurans vote in election shadowed by Trump aid threats (BBC) — Archive of an older version of the article. Current version here.
If I’m being honest, I don’t think Grok posts deserve attention here. This isn’t news; we already know Grok is shit because LLMs are shit and Elon is extremely shit. We really don’t need reminders.
All this does is draw people’s attention to more slop and hate, same as they’ve been seeing all year. That’s not just unimportant, it’s unhealthy.
FUD
What is this, a crypto forum? You make it sound like they’re trying to single-handedly tear down GrapheneOS or something.
As time goes ever onward, I find myself increasingly in the position of using Firefox solely because it isn’t Chromium, rather than because of any inherent good quality.
Which is not to say that Firefox isn’t still at least fine as a browser. But this is what Mozilla is now, and if there’s anything the leaders of that organization are doing, it is that they are committing corporate suicide because none of those idiots know their foot from their mouth. Firefox can’t stay decent with money-men at the helm.
I swear, getting a business major should be considered self-harm.
Alright, lemme try to explain this:
The author has not done bad journalism. You just missed stuff while reading. That’s fine so long as you address it. I would ask you not insult me for pointing this out, though.
You seem to be under the impression that AI is a good tool for finding undiscovered security bugs. It’s not. It’s a crapshoot that requires a ton of extra effort to verify. Using it to find bugs wastes time and has a high risk of side-effects, given that AI has no understanding and thus cannot know if an issue is important, if fixing it has unwanted implications, or if there even is one at all. And if you’re going to try to solve that with human supervision, then you may as well just have the human do the review to begin with and leave the AI out of it.
Bad journalism has nothing to do with this. Literal first paragraph of the article:
You may never have heard of FFmpeg, but you’ve used it. This open source program’s robust multimedia framework is used to process video and audio media files and streams across numerous platforms and devices. It provides tools and libraries for format conversion, aka transcoding, playback, editing, streaming, and post-production effects for both audio and video media.
If you weren’t paying attention until someone pointed out your error, just say that. We won’t crucify you.
Better suggestion: Stop using AI to do any of this shit. Security research and vulnerability patching should not be reliant upon de facto black-box random number generators.
So what I’m hearing is that someone needs a head of lettuce ready once the next one’s in, huh?
Your reasoning here appears to be “this solution isn’t thorough enough” with a later-added mix-in of “therefore it is all a lie to trick you.” Which immediately breaks down, as perfect is not the enemy of good, and even if it was a lie (which is a non-sequitur, by the way) then banning some AI is still better than banning none.
I’m not gonna debate it, though. I’ve rewritten this comment three times now because I need to say my piece in a civil manner and that’s hard to do when I’ve just watched someone shit on one of the few pieces of good news I’ve seen in weeks. I’ve done that now, so I’m out.
