  • Russia allegedly invests billions in disinformation campaign to sway German elections

  • For a bit of context, elon is supporting the far right AfD. And AfD is pro russian oil and anti nato. Nato which might have to intervene if a nato member is attacked by russia.

    If there is any party russia is supporting, it has to be AfD, imo that would make the most sense.

  • Guys listen up, every deepseek model comes with a dedicated chinese spy, who will log all your data and send it back to CCP who will use it to plot the destruction of the western civilization.

    Instead we should use Freedom© models from OpenAI (side note if deepseek is so "open" how come they don't have open in their name huh?) even if OpenAI don't show their reasoning, they only do this cuz they want to protect us and they stand for our values.

    They cost 100x more only because they are fighting for our Freedom and Freedom doesn't come cheap, Freedom doesn't have a price, Freedom requires our sacrifice.

  • OpenAI and the like aren't going to get into trouble anytime soon. They already provide their latest tech to US gov and military. OpenAI is like a goose that laid a golden egg, they need to fuck up really really badly to face any consequences.

  • The US companies already scraped the data while they could. If anything, data scraping is far far more difficult now for everyone due to technical reasons.

    Most of the new models are trained on synthetic data or higher quality of data or with RLHF. The reason deepseek is able to perform is likely because LLMs are very very new things, there are many low hanging fruits. Its no longer just about the data we already hit that limit for quite some time.

  • In a recent speech, Alice weidel idolized her grandfather's generation. Her grandfather was a member of the Nazi party.

    AfD goes to length to imply nazism but won't outright say it.

  • Do you think AI "things" like Midjourney or ChatGPT will have or are already having some kind of "piracy" around them?

    Jump

  • There are groups that give access to pirated AI. When I was a student, i used them to make projects. As for how they get access to it? They usually jailbreak websites that provide free trials and automate the account creation process. The higher quality ones scam big companies for startup credits. Then there are also some leaked keys.

    Anyways thats what i would call "pirated AI". (Not the locally run AI)

  • Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan sentenced to 14 years in prison in corruption case

    Jump

  • Wait you said you didn't know better so let me try and explain the geopolitical importance of pakistan to USA.

    Basically US has always had one country "pro-US" in that region because of china. India always had a very close connection with russia so US had a close connection with pakistan. Think back to how Pakistan helped train mujahideen in afghanistan?

    Anyways then china rose to power and pakistan started siding with china so naturally US started siding with india.

    Now the issue is US has already left afghanistan and russia has attacked ukraine. And india is much much closer to russia so now that leaves Pakistan.

    Imran khan had to go away because he was pro-"independence from the west".

    If you look at Pakistan China relationship, you will see that chinese companies are pulling out their projects/workers from Pakistan. Pak-China relationship is probably at its lowest.

    Meanwhile, pakistan usa relationship is getting stronger and stronger.

  • You don't know what you are talking about. Members of parliament who didn't vote for no-confidence had their private moments leaked. Which is considered a huge disrespect in pakistan. Others were offered money. So basically the whole carrot and a stick spiel.

    Military had dirt on basically everyone.

  • These are very loose terms. Pretty much every major website saves IP addresses when you create an account (to prevent abuse/spam detection). And you can get location info from the IP address. Hence the first condition would be true for all of those websites.

    Next, any website/app that builds a recommendation system will save user interactions to build the "algorithm". So every social media with an algorithm will fall into this category.

    With enough bending of terminology, we might be able to prove that the lemmy also collects user data (although it will be really hard cuz the algo here is based on upvotes and time posted iirc). And "large amount" part is just legal filler words.

  • I didn't say tiktok is the bastion of free speech. They only do this in the Palestinian case because it does not serve them anything to be against palestine. We can criticise one party without making the other one some kind of "moral hero" of a story.

  • Rich tend to have power and influence. If biden wants to create a legacy for him and his associates (whether his kins or the party members), he needs to serve the rich people's needs first and foremost.

    It is only rational that he does that. Isn't it?

  • Tiktok got banned not for peddling "chinese propaganda" but instead not peddling the US one.

    All the major tech companies in the US take measures to ensure content deemed unworthy by the government never become mainstream or viral.

    This is done under the pretense of stopping "hate speech" or "terroristic propaganda" but often include things like pro-palestinian content or class struggle content (like luigi mangione stuff).

    Tiktok was bold enough to not do that by default, cuz they wanted someone to ask them to do this and then it would become a huge scandal about how the US suppresses free speech. And US gov don't want to do that for this exact reason as well. So they decided to ban it.

    Remember talks for this "law" were initiated when all of a sudden tiktok became a host for pro-palestinian voices. We should ask ourselves, how is it that 60% of americans want the government to stop arms sales to israel but this 60% never shows up on the big social media platforms. But on other platforms like here in lemmy and tiktok, pro-palestinians is the majority.

    For further reading, listen to employees fired from big US tech companies for voicing their concerns over the palestine issue, or read Meta's new terms and conditions specially the section on "dangerous organizations and individuals".

  • I would further and say just immigration is not enough. We need to provide equal rights and opportunities to immigrants as well. Because as long as immigrants can be exploited for lower labor, Germans will also be exploited indirectly.

    Whether its about crimes, poverty leads to crime not immigration. Which immigrants tend to be.

    Or if it is about equal pay, cuz if immigrants don't get equal pay that will just lead to lower pay for everybody industry wide.

    AfD knows this because they serve the rich not the people. They want the threat of deportation to immigrants so they work for cheaper and rich get richer.

    And at the same time, when Germans get angry, AfD tells them to direct it towards immigrants not the rich.

    Its crazy how many of the world's problems can be solved by having empathy and humanity.
