One can get paid and advance through a career producing slop.
Good engineering is hard, and lots of that no longer happens.
Read the Jesus parts again. Would Jesus like that?

Yeah, at they approach 9999 surely they will start using larger variables to store the year, and all of the 2000’s code will have moved out of production (2000’s and not 1970’s because we may have fixed the 1970’s code by now.)
Insurance companies in Des Moines, Iowa, USA tended to be heavy users of COBOL near the year 2000. If you want a job writing COBOL, I suggest looking there. I am sure at this point they will do some training.


Um, the lesson was available, but not everyone is doing to reading.


Paraphrasing something a human said: With data and instructions mixed, there is no way to prevent an AI from following directions found in data. #Fuck if I know. Also, I am a real human, and this fits with my understanding of cybersecurity and why we don’t mix data with directions.


This is all true.
Plus the pointless murdering of humans.


Europe is supporting Ukraine in an existential fight for their lives.
This is far different from wanting to generate a false naked picture of some person.


People have protested the military industrial complex for decades and centuries. Possibly even millennia.
YOU not being aware of it is different from it not happening.
Stop the false equivalency and whataboutism.


It would be funny if someone working release detailed photos of the current layout. Locations of pipes, wiring, and sight-lines. Which outside lines bring power in, and from which substations. Notes on any access narrow areas. Maybe suggestions about what contracts are working for the new owners. Just silly things to make the kids laugh.


On Lemmy? The local Lemmy communities for the communities most impacted. Currently, most of what I see if on https://midwest.social/c/usa@midwest.social.
Outside of Lemmy?
mastodon.social
This is where I have found most raw footage, plus stabilized and slowed footage.
The local news stations for that area has the more verified info plus overviews.
Snapchat map for that area show some of the improvised barricades and troop movements.


Not a great look. Indicates all threatened allies should remove all US based assets.


Please do, but please ensure to not allow the Billionaires to flee to your countries. Keep them contained.


It is just “escalate to deescalate”. Please do as you please Canada.


Edit: My initial reply was of poor quality. I skipped half of you thoughtful comment, AND I misunderstood your meaning as well. I apologize.
I think you are correct about your interpretation of their current policy. However, their old policy would have allowed for checking on users. The old policy is one reason my old company disallowed the usage of OpenAI, as corporate secrets could easily be gathered by OpenAI. (The paranoid among use suspected that was the reason for releasing such a buggy AI.)
I agree. I think training a depressing detector to flag problematic conversations for human review is a good idea.
Yes. Even if the government of the USA does nothing, there will be negative impacts. The population that survives may migrate north or south. Warlords will strike out for new territories. Anything still created or grown in the USA will no longer be. Billionaires will flee to the nicer parts of the world to repeat the process. Wealth in the American stock markets will do something.
Your family will end up doing most of the cleaning. Your landlord will hire low wage people to do any remaining.
Please reconsider.


Opens? OpenAI spent years doing exactly that. Though, apparently they almost three years ago.

Previously, data submitted through the API before March 1, 2023 could have been incorporated into model training. This is no longer the case since OpenAI implemented stricter data privacy policies.
Inputs and outputs to OpenAI’s API (directly via API call or via Playground) for model inference do not become part of the training data unless you explicitly opt in.


Thanks to Ars for including the lullaby. It is incredibly bleak.
Just to draw it out a little more.
A company intentionally made a product that is more than capable of killing its users. The company monitors the communications, and decides to not intervene. (Beats me how closely communications are monitored, but the company can and does close accounts as told in other articles.)
This communication went on for months or years. The company had more than enough time to act.
Sam Altman is a bad person for choosing not to.


A number of the the troll farms and ai bot farms are paid work. Cut out of pay, and the employees will do other things.
How does one do that? Take out the sources of money, of which there are likely a few.
Nah. Just declare the rollbacks never happened and penalize the violators.
Funny story, some of the rollbacks Trump has done in other areas are legally mandated. Trump used executive orders to limit their enforcement, but the laws are still on the books. The violators can fight this next sane president in court over it, but the next sane president can also do all of the “trump” things to them.
