  • Do you wish you hadn't gotten officially diagnosed ?

    Jump

  • I was diagnosed as a child. I don't... I don't think I would have a lot of the coping strategies I do have or be as functional as I am if I weren't (even though I've never been on meds). I suspected being medicated would be better (I am also in my 40's), but at the same time it is very hard to get past my executive dysfunction in that regard. I think I also worry that being medicated will help very little/not at all and my expectations will be shot to hell.

    I don't know if this perspective helps at all.

    But for what it's worth, being diagnosed may afford you some other support systems that might help you at work and in your professional life.

  • Search engines or addons that default to ignoring results after the release of chatgpt?

    Jump

  • www.udm14.com

    Will give you the Google search results as web search without AI but it doesn't avoid ads unfortunately.

    I like it because I can set it as a default search engine to avoid AI without having to run much of anything else except UBlockOrigin.

    This works for computer web browsing.

    For Firefox on mobile (or your fork of choice) you can go to your search settings and set a custom search engine and type in: https://www/. google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

    Without the space between "www. Google". It will bypass AI search for just web search.

    Please note that Google is still enshittifying search in other ways that aren't AI related and this doesn't mitigate that.

  • AI Is Scheming, and Stopping It Won’t Be Easy, OpenAI Study Finds

    Jump

  • I agree with you in general, I think the problem is that people who do understand Gen AI (and who understand what it is and isn't capable of, and why), get rationally angry when it's humanized by using words like these to describe what it's doing.

    The reason they get angry is because this makes people who do believe in the "intelligence/sapience" of AI more secure in their belief set and harder to talk to in a meaningful way. It enables them to keep up the fantasy. Which of course helps the corps pushing it.

    eye contact

    Jump

  • I didn't recognize that I had issues with it but I had issues with it for years. Subconsciously (probably because my mother was such a stickler for eye contact when we were in trouble) I look at facial features and focus on one that lets me fake eye contact, but I don't often meet the eyes of people.

    I'd also like to note that people with both ASD and ADHD often have symptoms that can mask each other, allowing us to pass as not having one or the other Neurodivergences. So just because someone doesn't see ASD in your behavior doesn't mean that you don't have it.

  • Bazzite install failed at writing EFI partition

    Jump

  • I ran into this problem with a dual boot of windows 10 and bazzite where I wanted to recoup more drive space for Linux but couldn't load gparted to allocate more space because windows kept trying to claim that space.

    Even though this wasn't the exact problem I was looking to solve it did work for me.

    When you go to install Bazzite can you make a separate EFI partition manually for it? Because that's the part that I think might help you.

    If not, can you back up the windows install and reformat?

  • I think it's wrong that they carry no liability. At the end of the day they know the product can be used this way, they haven't implemented any safety protocols to prevent this, and while the users prompting Grok are at fault for their own actions, the platform and AI LLM are being used to facilitate it where other AI LLM'S have guard rails to prevent it. In my mind that alone should make them partially liable.

  • I didn't. But I also can't say I've been paying attention.

  • Facial age checks are now required to chat with anyone on Roblox

    Jump

  • Honestly? It'll probably be an amalgamation of different tech to do it. That's at least part of the reason I'm not sure it should work. Using identity to certify age or age gate products in this way when so much data is being collected already about users kind of doesn't make sense in and of itself. It either leads to a database of data that's dangerous to store, or it leads to government entities using such services to spy on people. Or both.

    If the data that's already out there about me being collected by data brokers can't prove what age I am (and it absolutely can even when it's anonymized) then I suspect no other system by itself will work. Because really what were talking about here is four things.

    1. Linking access to age verification.
    2. Linking identity to age verification.
    3. Anonymizing that data so the service/or anyone with access can't store it or use it for anything other than age verification.
    4. Verifying that the person who device/token/certificate/verified medium is linked to is the person using the device.

    So, say you were to use the block chain method. And say the device was verified. How would I verify it's me using the device (me being the person who certified their age via block chain or some other method). What prevents me from unlocking the device and handing it to my kid? What prevents my kid from using the device without my knowledge (circumventing the password etc).

    That's at least part of the reason Roblox want to use facial recognition to verify users. But how often are we doing that check? Once isn't enough. It's not a hard barrier to cross. And say it's twice, three times. Once a week. Say you use AI generated pictures to bypass that. Then Roblox or the service they contract with for verification has to maintain a database and compare pictures to each other etc.

    Databases can be hacked. That information can be stolen. And linked to driver's licenses, used for reverse image searches etc. If you or your child has ever posted a picture to the internet etc that can be used against you or your kid. It could be used to verify further accounts outside your control etc.

    Following this to it's logical conclusion you'd need to use a combination of things. Something you have (yubikee or some kind of authenticator, ID, credit card). There's nothing stopping a person from selling this with the account credentials.

    Something you know (password, passphrase etc). The account credentials to be sold.

    Something you can't change about yourself (iris scan, fingerprint, voice clip, etc). The dangerous to store information that when leaked or breached would cause damage to the life of the user in question.

    Someone somewhere is going to need to keep a record of that to prove you are you which means it can't by design be anonymous. And it means that there's a database and it there that's dangerous to the users but had to be maintained for the purpose of authentication. And that's why this doesn't work.

  • If the knife was sold to you with the knowledge that you were going to commit murder, the person who sold it to you could be up for a felony murder charge, or as an accessory.

    There's also product liability law. Meaning that if a company sells or proliferates a product without proper safety protocols in place and it causes harm that can be foreseen, they are liable.
