  • Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust

    Jump

  • I love the notion that even Twitter users had too much empathy and the platform wasn't getting Nazified fast enough on it's own so they had to program a robot to go around and spread propaganda.

  • What are some recommended RSS feeds for privacy news?

  • IKEA moves to Thread (and away from Zigbee)

    Jump

  • I am just getting started on this journey but zigbee seems great and I like that it works fine even if the wifi goes down. I'm not sure what the drawbacks are or the benefits of Matter.

  • I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.

    Jump

  • Hilarious that that account's made a single comment pushing back on classic lemmy hysteria/paranoia and then apparently left the platform.

  • Take a deep breath and think about it

    Jump

  • Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.

  • Take a deep breath and think about it

    Jump

  • "Shitposting" describes the act, not the content. Posting content "that took little to no effort" to produce is just spam. It doesn't matter if a human made it or not.

  • Mastodon is improving profiles and getting ready for quote posts

    Jump

  • I think quote posts are undesirable for the reasons you mentioned but I have to accept that it will be huge for adoption, and the flip side (promoting others work in a positive light) is also going to be really great.

  • They just miss the point, don't they?

    Jump

  • You are the OP, you literally removed someone's tweet from it's original context (or reposted without fact checking) and presented it here with an entirely different, false context. The fact that it's being misinterpreted is 100% on you for presenting it inaccurately, not the guy who's words you misrepresented.

    I actually upvoted this before deciding to fact check which took me no more than ten seconds.

  • This guy made a joke and a bunch of Twitter users took it seriously. Context.

  • AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study

    Jump

  • Oh yeah absolutely, but I also think the goal of the AI companies is not to actually create a functioning AI that could "do a job 20% as good as a human, but 90% cheaper", but to sell fancy software, whether it works or not, and leave the smaller companies holding the bag after they lay off their workforce.

  • AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study

    Jump

  • Right? It actually makes me feel insane that the topic of "humans working less" is never in the selling points of these products.

    Honestly I suspect that rather than some nefarious capitalist plot to enslave humanity, it is just more evidence that the software can't actually do what the people selling it to big corporations claim it can do.

  • AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study

    Jump

  • This bit at the end, wow:

    Gartner still expects that by 2028 about 15 percent of daily work decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents, up from 0 percent last year.

    Agentic AI is wrong 70% of the time, but even assuming a human employee is barely correct most of the time and wrong 49% of the time, is it really still more efficient to replace them?

  • The Fediverse Passport: A needed tool.

    Jump

  • I like where your head's at, but Mastodon's system of verification seems much easier to me and doesn't rely on a third party.

  • ChatGPT goes down — and fake jobs grind to a halt worldwide

    Jump

  • Also this is not a news article, it's an opinion essay. It's perfectly reasonable to read this at any time.

  • Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitles

    Jump

  • For YouTube tutorial videos I have no issue with relying on GPT, but I think it's important to recognize that the translation of art is art. I don't feel good about the idea of something without a soul or perspective interpolating a work of art from one culture and language into another that might be wildly different from where it started.

    That all said, I think Crunchyroll and anyone else using AI art without disclosing it absolutely should be honest about it.

  • Lemmy Development Update June 2025

  • twas a joke, but that's a nice feature!

  • Storing upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.

    Where is the instance that autobans any account that users have downvoted X times? I want to join it.

  • Fchan, the federated imageboard, is apparently still alive

  • Lemmy does feel more and more like 4chan every day...
