Web 4.0: I can actually safely tip every dude who made a useful video/website 0.01 cents and neither side will have to pay any extra fees so it is actually worth to tip, it will just be p2p money using the processing power of the sender and the receiver without buttcoin vultures trying to fuck with it. That was what web 3.0 was supposed to have been 13 years ago, but between the technical limitations and those web3 shitasses' greed, we're left almost where we started...

dude...your bike is farting so loud you gave grandma a heart attack...that's not as cool as you imagine it to be :/

Jumping spiders are the tigers of the mm scale. They jump and pounce, they stare at you and stalk their prey, they carefully plan their attack from a strategic vantage point, they are cute, furry and pettable...so long as you are at least twice as large.

Best. Buds. Having a parade together in Brest, 1939. Getting betrayed is what you get for making deals with nazis. #leopardsatemyface

If I understand you correctly, read more history. the nazis invaded Poland together with the USSR on two fronts (as, you know, best buds), hard to botch that.

When the nazis invaded France...it was the French who fucked up...the nazis didn't.

Yes, starting stupid wars and botching them in front of the whole world makes you vulnerable.

I realized like you that it is not the content or the actions, it is a brand that appeals to their emotions (and the grown-ups too who got conditioned to react to a type of branding over the years). It's just like selling an Adidas.

And it's tragic, because he stands against everything they could ever gain...like an opioid...which reminds me of the Shady Vance quote:

In 2016 and 2017, Vance, then best-known for penning the best-selling book “Hillbilly Elegy” said Trump was “cultural heroin” and “just another opioid” for Middle America.

lol

This is not like reading a book from a library...unless you want to force the LLM to only train one book per day and keep no copies after that day.

"Buy high, sell low" is a great way to launder money, along with real estate (and the art market). Things Donny is an expert in. You don't bankrupt a casino without wanting to.

Some may see him as a "counterculture"...thumbing the nose at establised rules youngsters naturally want to rebel against through causing outrage and stupid jokes. It's like any other stupid manufactured fad in that respect.

This 20-year-old documentary about marketing to teens sort of reminds me of it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0tYRoiJvhJ4&list=PL_pPc6-qR9ZwlDyyk6o-X_gib47lpqlGP&index=15&pp=iAQB but now applied to ideas in the internet instead of products.

The matter is not LLMs reproducing what they have learned, it is that they didn't pay for the books they read, like people are supposed to do legally.

This is not about free use, this is about free access, which at the scale of an individual reading books is marketed as "piracy"...at the scale of reading all books known to man...it's onmipiracy?

We need some kind of deal where commercial LLMs have to pay a rent to a fund that distributes that among creators or remain nonprofit, which is never gonnna happen, because it'll be a bummer for all the grifters rushing into that industry.

What about moonofalabama, sounds similar.

Sometimes it leads me wildly astray when I do that, like a really bad tutor...but it is good if you want a refresher and can spot the bullshit on the side. It is good for spotting things that you didnt know before and can factcheck afterwards.

...but maybe other review papers and textbooks are still better...

they don't need to, they just need to seize the ground PoPs and block ips to make it unusably slow.

username checks out :D

Harris says she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if elected

this is the title of the article

Anyone who watched the interview understands that the title you wrote (or maybe they updated it?) is bullshit. Not ruling something out is not a pledge, geez.

Yea, Rob Reich knows what he is doing, there is a reason he published this now.

It was a reference to tropic thunder...which would have been funny (but not much, he's supposed to represent people like Harvey Weinstein) if it did not represent some miserable snotty billionaire shitting on a union of 27 countries.

I would have banned twitter on principle just like we recall embassadors from openly hostile countries. But well-meaning technocrats are too soft on oligarchs, they only see the damage when it is already too late.

Twitter's format feels a bit like yelling into the void and waiting for replies...you may luck out and get some engagement from a hub or a small subgraph of the network. Mastodon makes that stronger by removing the algorithm (I'd like there to be a user-customizable feed sort algo by an array of parameters, not sure what the technical limitations to that are: processing, security?)

Comment trees feel better (to me at least), because there is a hierarchical origin, a native indexing by topic>post>comment>countercomment...it sort of resembles how we relate with the world or navigate maps.

this is not about the US, but it may become in November.

We'll see how it goes in the EU and the UK (and the US). If twitter keeps promoting openly unambiguously nazi content, there are laws to deal with that. Brazil just did it sooner because elon boosted the guys questioning electoral results of a very contested election without any evidence.

Do you have any link to a credible contrary discussion on this? Because all I see is bolsominions screeching, it is hard to find an unbiased source.

PS: globo, uol and record report no wrongdoing against elon, bandeirantes is waiting to see the documents the court sent elon to make him call the judge a dictator.

I don't see any reasonable people siding with elon against the government (safe for the detail of throwing starlink and X together, that is being debated, but someone has to pay the fines).

Even better tidbit: https://old.reddit.com/r/EnoughMuskSpam/comments/1f4b4m3/how_the_brazilian_judge_outsmarted_melon/

Since Judge Moraes had imposed fines and injunctions on Xitter, Melon thought it would be smart to close the X office in Brazil so that he would not have any representatives to be subpoenaed for the decisions. If the judicial system cannot find anyone to subpoena, Melon may have thought, that this would avoid any consequences.

And, in fact, for 10 days the judge tried to subpoena the Ketamine-head without success. But Brazilian law provides that if it is proven in any way that the defendant had knowledge of the subpoena, he will be considered subpoenaed for all intents and purposes.

What did Judge Moraes do? He simply ordered the subpoena to be published on Xitter and waited for K-head to fall into the trap of reacting, which would prove that he was aware of the subpoena. And Musk, probably without thinking for a second when he heard about the post, reacted posting an AI generated image showing Moraes in jail.

It was a masterstroke because everyone in the world knows that Melon is an irrational crybaby who reacts to everything without any self-control. If he wasn't as addicted to posting on Xitter as he is to ketamine, the trap wouldn't have worked.

Hah, I thought this was the usual r/sino post, but it's funny that it is right-wing propaganda. "The soviets are beating us to space" was what got the US to invest so heavily in STEM research in the 60s that it lasted until the 2000s. If this were all the propaganda they did, it would actually be healthy.

I wondered where polio had come from if it had been erradicated, I didn't know a vaccine could regain strength if mismanaged..

I'd like an indexer good enough to show me real music close enough to what I get generatively from a suno.com prompt. :3

my hero 😎

That's one of the things I love in lemmy. Moderation transparency.

What does this influence look like? Is it like the interference in elections elsewhere? Do they fund politicians like in the Philippines or Hungary or is it more like social media campaigns? What else should we be aware of?

Should motivate places like Europe, Japan, China and India who don't produce oil, hopefully only nuclear and sodium batteries/pumped hydro for baseload power. For oil producers, it is harder to wean them off.

Good, probably fake news then, the rest of the world, including China, was glad to see it, so hopefully it is also shown and seen positively by NK. But nobody knows what happens in NK through official channels, "fake news" from anonymous sources is all we have.

According to Daily NK, a media outlet specializing in North Korean affairs, the North's delegation returned to Pyongyang on Aug. 15 and is going through what has been described as an ideological evaluation.

This is a standard procedure for North Koreans who have been exposed to non-communist cultures while abroad. The media outlet said that North Korea views staying in a non-communist country as a form of "exposure to contamination."

ahhh, my eyes 😵

It would be nice to at least have a plan to one day be immune to oil price chaos and geopolitical fights surrounding distant oil wells. And day now...
