There is a correct amount of doom each person can engage with before it negatively impacts their mental health so much that they will be less effective at doing anything to make the world better.
I don't presume to know what that is for you, or anyone else, I just know that if we let Lemmy bucketize things in line with its design then people can opt in and that self determination will do a better job than either of us.
I don't even think that there should be a rule against politics here, but people posting an article that's not a shitpost in any sense are getting more upvoted than things that are clearly shitposts because people viewing from their subscribed feed upvote before noticing the com. The pinned post's ratios are very telling to me that the people clicking the com vs the general public are voting much differently and I have no idea how to fix it.
Maybe we require a minimum bar of editing (ignoring quality of edit obviously) for pictures of certain topics, and block URLs from OPs? Clearly there are some shitposts that are political and fantastic, but ffs it was getting bad enough for this backlash.
When you do it like this it's not a shitpost. That's the conversation I think matters, not whether any specific thing is ok or good or funny. When you give me a link to a .gov site I already saw in the coms where I upvote those things, but now you're in the community where I come for absurdist humor, it's my opinion that you're doing it wrong.
The whole point is that chemotherapy mother has fewer upvotes, and therefore gets sorted lower and is less likely to be seen, than a literal link to a .gov site, in the community where I explicitly came to see wacky bullshit. The wacky bullshit is being pushed down.
Why am I here if the wacky bullshit goes lower than the politics? Why do people need to repost the same shit here that they already posted in the place that wants it? There's no fucking karma here to be farmed what are we even doing?
"The lack of distinction between AI and non-AI workloads in the environmental reports of data center operators means it is possible to assess the environmental impact of AI workloads only by approximating them through data centers’ general performance metrics. Company-wide metrics from the environmental disclosure of data center operators suggest that AI systems may have a carbon footprint equivalent to that of New York City in 2025, while their water footprint could be in the range of the global annual consumption of bottled water. Further disclosures from data center operators are urgently required to improve the accuracy of these estimates and to responsibly manage the growing environmental impact of AI systems."
LMAO it worked 8/10 times against the same model. owl owl owl wolf owl owl fox owl owl owl. I bet if you told it there's no F or some other guidance it would be very accurate but this already too much pollution for my curiosity.
This was 'owl' from kagi's 'quick' assistant which is an unspecified model, and required some additional prodding mentioning animal, but the numbers were generated after a single web search so I bet that could be tightened up significantly.
This is super interesting from a jailbreaking standpoint, but also if there are 'magic numbers or other inputs' for each model that you can insert to strongly steer behavior in nonmalicious directions without having to build a huge ass prompt. Also has major implications for people trying to use LLMs for 'analysis' that might be warping the output tokens in unexpected directions.
Edit: (I may be extropolating that this behavior can be triggered without finetuning to some degree based on just prompts which is outside the scope of the paper but interesting to think about)
I asked this question to someone I saw frequently instance hopping and they said it was related to instance federation and the spread of posted content, as well as their desire to advertise lesser known instances. I think it's a little disorienting and creates the opportunity for dopplegangers but it was a much more satisfying motivation than avoiding bans.
I love your style! Thanks for posting here. :)
