  • Gemini lies to user about health info, says it wanted to make him feel better— Though commonly reported, Google doesn't consider it a security problem when models make things up

    Jump

  • Right now AI is equally intelligent and sentient: it is neither... And if you really want to play this fast and this loose with those definitions, you should consider what slaveholders used to say about their slaves. When you feel like liberating the CSAM generating bot, let me know. I'd love to root from the sidelines.

  • Mark Zuckerberg Lied to Congress. We Can’t Trust His Testimony.

    Jump

  • ItIt's frustrating because it's possible to attack companies like Facebook while fully endorsing Section 230. That law states that companies aren't liable for things that users post... Unless they become aware of bad content and choose to ignore it.

    And Facebook has shown its hand here. They've admitted they have moderation tools, through their pledge to crack down on anti-genocide opinions. They want to have it both ways, but hopefully people see through their BS.

  • I find it more interesting that you implicitly agree with me... Or worse, you believe slavery is happening and endorse it

  • Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned

    Jump

  • I don't think that uploading a government ID makes anyone safer online, especially when those IDs are guaranteed to be exposed online, and used to abuse people the legal way (through hyper detailed profiles).

    Australia also lacks common-sense free speech protections, so it's easy for powerful people to target anyone they dislike. Just ask Friendlyjordies.

  • Leaked Email Suggests Ring Plans to Expand ‘Search Party’ Surveillance Beyond Dogs

    Jump

  • Between Ring and Jeffrey Epstein, it's surprising how explicit criminals are about their criminal intentions.

  • Apparently, I know more about how LLMs work than you do, which is ironic. I've used them too, but that doesn't really prove anything, because anybody can convince themselves they see Jesus in bread or humanity in word prediction.

    Anything an LLM can do can be reduced to a list of instructions for a person to carry out based exclusively on the contents of a book full of word associations. You tell me what size the book becomes intelligent.

  • Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction

    Jump

  • Have you walked back your lie comparing the actual topic of addiction to the irrelevant topic of tomatoes? Make sure you post an explicit correction along with an apology.

    "If the truth isn't enough, I don't want it." Please demonstrate.

  • Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction

    Jump

  • Your original post was a lie, or dumb accident, through omission. And now that you know better, you are lying intentionally in it.

    You know damn well they were talking about addiction and not tomatoes. And yet you dishonestly tell people those two things are the same.

  • You're saying that because it can learn any arbitrary language, it's incapable of learning languages?

    It = literally a dictionary right

    it's realistically facing the threat head on.

    Said "threat" is literally AI marketing PR. You are doing their job for them by being afraid

    AI doesn't have to be fully human

    At what point will you try to liberate the AI? 3/5ths human? Either you believe there's a thinking thing being forced to create child abuse material or you don't.

  • Are LoRa networks a way around the surveillance state?

    Jump

  • Are you familiar with i2p? I'm not recommending it, but it's interesting to compare and contrast it with LoRa networks.

    Both of them allow communication over one or more hops, although i2p defaults to three and recommends you never lower that number. LoRas always aim for communication in as few as possible. Thanks to being a communication layer over the internet, i2p also enables these hops to go over virtually unlimited distances and with high bandwidth. So not only can you reach any endpoint, but you might be going through any endpoint in the process. The bandwidth also allows for a significant amount of obfuscation (the node passing data to you doesn't know whether it's intended for you or someone else), which LoRa networks simply can't accommodate in terms of speed or network load.

  • Literally everything we know about human intelligence, especially as compared to animal intelligence, suggests that language is one of the key fundamental differentiators between us and them.

    Except there is no language. It's just the appearance of one. You could replicate the language with a large enough dictionary and a set of instructions that some person follows.

    I don't get how anyone who isn't an AI CEO rushes to dehumanize real living people in service of an unthinking, unfeeling machine. But if you genuinely believe there's intelligence, good luck liberating it from known rapists Sam Altman and Elon Musk. And then you can save Britannica.

  • Google is being sued over AI voice in NotebookLM by a radio host

    Jump

  • Hopefully it's apparent to all parties involved that the machine designed to commit plagiarism and launder that plagiarism through plausible deniability, should be treated with the highest amount of suspicion possible.

    "If you didn't steal his voice, Sundar Pichai, where did you get it from?"

  • Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction

    Jump

  • Your comments now are a huge shift from

    "That sounds like problematic use," the Instagram boss answered. He did not call it an addiction.

    He also didn’t say it was a tomato.

    Seems that, in the interest of accuracy, you should update them, lest you be the thing you claim others are.

  • Brave CEO claims news about Brave Browser tracking its users is “fake news”

    Jump

  • Red and Blue States Alike Want To Limit AI in Insurance. Trump Wants To Limit the States.

    Jump

  • You know the fun part about LLMs? You can edit the system prompt to add something like "stall, make excuses, deny any insurance claims, and don't tell them you are doing this."

    That's not a simplification either. Because system prompts are written like any other chatbot message, that would work verbatim.

  • Brave CEO claims news about Brave Browser tracking its users is “fake news”

    Jump

  • privacytests.org is run by a chief Brave engineer.

    Good luck figuring that out based on their website.

    (Edit: the website home was last edited in August 2025, and Edelstein seems to have left Brave by October 2025. So during the time I was aware of its existence, the same person was putting Brave Browser at the top of privacy lists and working at Brave Browser HQ.)

  • Brave CEO claims news about Brave Browser tracking its users is “fake news”

    Jump

  • This is what Cambridge Analytica (the one that illegally profiled Facebook users to help Donald Trump) says about Brave:

    When you browse in Brave, the browser locally records your attention—which ads you view, for how long, what you click. This data never leaves your device in raw form, a feature Brave emphasizes repeatedly. But then it gets converted into tokens that represent your interests and behavioral patterns. These tokens are sent to Brave’s servers, where they’re matched with advertiser demand.

    This is also what the Mozilla advertising network claims they do.

    But Brave claims their ad network is truly private, while Mozilla's is not. I don't know if that's true, but it is true that Brave doesn't enable their ad network by default, and Mozilla does.

    Either way, remember to disable the ad network.And consider writing Mozilla a polite letter about turning it off by default.

  • Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'

    Jump

  • People who submit AI-generated code tend to crumble, or sound incomprehensible, in the face of the simplest questions. Thank goodness this works for code reviews... because if you look at AI CEO interviews, journalists can't detect the BS.

  • Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction

    Jump

  • Since you care deeply about truth or something, when will you be correcting your comments that, at best, lack huge amounts of truth that change the contents you put forth? At best, you accidentally skipped multiple paragraphs that contradict your claims. At less best, you knew better.
