Losing the argument because DDOS
  • That's fine if you're trying to get into an argument. If you're just answering someone's question or sharing a story or whatever, it's frustrating as hell when your post fails over and over. I'm getting sick of being told to check my language settings in my profile, even though no such setting exists and it had nothing to do with why my submission failed. Maybe that's just a wefwef thing.

  • Top Extensions to Make YouTube Bearable
  • I also pay for premium, so I don't have to worry about ads. But that only covers the first extension on this list. The others are all useful and still not available with premium.

  • Samsung’s new 98-inch 8K TV is the projector-beating home theater upgrade I’ve been waiting for
  • That's the price of their previous model, and the article suggests that this one will be quite a bit more expensive. Definitely not a "projector beater" if you don't have around ten grand burning a hole in your pocket.

  • Spanish activists vandalize superyacht in Ibiza believed to belong to billionaire Walmart heiress
  • Fair point. Though I believe we can still have capitalism without such extreme wealth distribution. Tax 99% of every dollar earned above 10 mil. Make it extremely hard to reach 100 mil. Think of how much good that tax money will do for society as a whole, assuming it's used properly.

  • Why AI detectors think the US Constitution was written by AI
  • Maybe writing assignments should be done in class, instead of at home. Anything you let students complete in their own time has always been open to cheating, via calculators, excessive help from parents, or straight up paying someone online to write it for you. This isn't really any different, albeit a bit faster and cheaper. You always need to stand behind a kid and watch them work if you want to be sure they're really doing it themselves.

  • AI learned from their work. Now they want compensation.
  • How is it fair for big companies with a lot of money to take creators’ work, without (or minimal) paying/attributing them, while those companies then use these technologies to make more money?

    Because those works were put online, at a publicly accessible location, and not behind a paywall or subscription. If literally anyone on the planet can see your work just by typing a URL into their browser, then you have essentially allowed them to learn from it. Also, it's not like there are copies of those works stored away in some database somewhere, they were merely looked at for a few seconds each while a bunch of numbers went up and down in a neural network. There is absolutely not enough data kept to reproduce the original work.

    Besides, if OpenAI (or other companies in the same business) had to pay a million people for the rights to use their work to train an AI model, how much do you think they'd be able to pay? A few dollars? Why bother seeking that kind of compensation at all?

  • Woman’s iPhone photo of son rejected from Sydney competition after judges ruled it could be AI | Suzi Dougherty’s photograph of 18-year-old Caspar deemed ‘suspicious’ by judges, even though it was ...
  • This is frustrating because that picture looks absolutely nothing like an AI generated image. The judges are paranoid and suspicious because they keep hearing about the AI boogeyman, and apparently can't be bothered to ask a more knowledgeable person before passing judgement. Of course, image synthesis will reach this quality in the near future, so what are they going to do then?

  • True. They have a fair bit of leverage, though. Even just renaming the competing product would probably cost Meta a small fortune. I wouldn't mind being in that situation.

  • They wouldn't have a case, since this other app can prove they've been available under that name for 4 years. However, I bet the low-ball offers to buy the app and domain have already started. I wonder what number they'll eventually settle on...

  • What do you think is responsible for lemmy’s growth over other alternatives like KBin and Tildes?
  • Same. The fact that Lemmy has several iOS apps also sealed the deal, as I do almost all my browsing on mobile. I made an account on KBin at the same time, and an eagerly watching both to see how they develop, but Lemmy just has more to offer right now.

  • Which upcoming S11 episode are you most excited about?
  • I'm a bit confused. The new season is 8, but people keep referring to it as 11. Even news articles will put 11 in the title, but will refer to it as 8 in the body of the article. Is this some kind of in-joke I missed? There definitely aren't seasons 9 or 10...

  • Smells like Lemmy Spirit
  • Hi! I'm in the same boat (or lifeboat, as it were). So far, I have to say I'm impressed with Lemmy and the various apps that are racing to become the most polished and feature-packed. I hope you find yourself at home here too.
