I pay for services (including lemmy - support your instance leeches) and use an ad blocker for everything else.

There’s a lower cost ad plan for YouTube music is that what you mean?

I thought everyone wanted YouTube premium without the music. That’s the ad plan: it shows ads on music because you’re not paying for ad free music.

Yes but we’re also more mastodon less bluesky. If a bluesky-esque clone of Reddit comes along with better UX and paving over the issues of federation then it will win, the way Bluesky has beaten out Mastodon as the Twit alternate

It is my understanding that the fundamental architecture (the general purpose transformer) is identical between the “AI” used by Black Rock and by OpenAI

If you have some evidence to the contrary I’d always appreciate the chance to learn.

But the transformer based architecture is fundamentally flawed: it will always hallucinate.

The “AI” being used by big corporations is still fundamentally an LLM and has all the flaws of an LLM. It’s not a hot wheels car vs a tank, it’s a hot wheels car vs a $2 billion RC car

I’m having an aneurysm trying to understand what’s being said here, can anyone explain?

… No but Bimpson is… https://www.houseofnames.com/bimpson-family-crest

The original community was namenerds and digging through the original poster’s submission history I’m seeing some pretty bad poetry, 90 day fiance content and grieving the death of their parents: all spread out across the past year.

… I don’t think it’s a shit post.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying “I’m ok with Intrusive software practices that provide a tangible benefit (fuck cheaters) because I air gap my shit.”

Malware implies malicious. It’s not malicious - it’s extremely intrusive.

Ultimately I don’t give a shit if they have every bit of data on the computer I play games on: there’s nothing there worth looking at. I do my private stuff on my phone. Gaming PC is for discord, games, and making shit for the games.

So I trust their root kit. They can’t do anything to me there.

Not necessarily the same hacker.

There’s never certainty when talking about hackers…

That’s verbatim the content of the email and the email hack does not appear to be malicious (unlike the ddos or the password breach)

It’s more likely that this is 3 different groups than it is a single group.

This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.

Don’t get shit twisted - he’s the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.

Let me take the tag off my bird then snap it’s wings back together

Even then those are bad cleaning instructions…

I got an Acebeam EC35 Gen II a couple years back and while there are many settings you can use there’s a big button onto he back that turns it on full blast and you click it again to turn it off. Done.

☝️🤓 actually people survived before money ! Fool !

Lemme go tell my 80 year old grandma on a fixed income to go forage instead of heading to Albertsons.

Money is required for survival in any nation where you’re getting a salary for your work. Dying 40 years early because your body gives out from giardia isn’t surviving.

That happens constantly with hourly workers, slightly less so with salaried.

This is some libertarian “be your own boss” bullshit

The salary is the least amount of money they think they can pay you to work, but the problem is not the work itself. It’s the “money required to survive” aspect.

I really expected it to say colonial for some reason
