This just in: People like being told what they want to hear. More at 11.

Most transparent administration! /s

Yeah, having the real people behind it hidden is basically the norm for Trump admin.

It seems like it’s only crappy on mobile, no isues on desktop here.

…and about 82 messages per conversation. Also, at least half of all the messages are from the user to the AI, and the other half are from the AI to the user, meaning around 41 messages from the user per conversation.

It’s a bit funny that it’s completely at odds with how they describe their goals (emphasis mine):

I am thereallo, a web developer who makes things look pretty and work smoothly >w< been building stuff since 2020, mostly frontend but i can do fullstack too! i use react, next.js, and tailwind css because they just work, and motion for animations that don’t feel plastic. i prototype in figma, steal components from shadcn/ui when i’m lazy, and deploy to vercel or cloudflare depending on the vibe~ i used to reverse engineer games (genshin leaks era lol) but now i just make websites that don’t suck. i know typescript, python, go, and dabbled in rust and lua. my goal is making ui that feels human such as smooth feedback, clear buttons, keyboard accessible, no confusing bs. mobile first always! outside coding i listen to vocaloid and play project sekai, which definitely influences my color choices uwu. oh and i care way too much about bundle sizes and performance. currently learning native ios/android development. hmu on discord or github if u wanna chat! ♡

Huge Study

*Looks inside

this latest study examined the chat logs of 19 real users of chatbots — primarily OpenAI’s ChatGPT — who reported experiencing psychological harm as a result of their chatbot use.

Pretty small sample size despite being a large dataset that they pulled from, its still the dataset of just 19 people.

AI sucks in a lot of ways sure, but this feels like fud.

It also needs to factor in a threat models. Maybe this is important for governments or giant conglomerates, but an average hacker isn’t going to have their hands on a quantum computing rig to just use. Until its use becomes widespread on a consumer level it will be mostly used by corporations and governments. I think it will be a while before a criminal organization has one, but maybe I am wrong.

Well and despite how quickly it has grown, Asahi is still a work in progress and has not been updated for M3/M4 processors yet, even when the M5 has just released. I honestly feel like old Intel macs are a waaaay better bang for your buck if you want a stable server box, all of them handle Linux pretty flawlessly, in my albeit limited experience.

…and they had only embraced PowerPC maybe 12 years earlier in the early 90s, if I recall correctly.

Hell, Linux runs great on my nearly 20 year old 2007 iMac. Gonna miss the Intel Mac era.

Probably seems old hat, and seems unaffordable but perhaps take in a play, or a musical, or if you’re lucky enough to be close to one still operating, take in a drive-in movie.

I always found that finding a reason to dress up at least a little and go do something fun together as a shared activity helped alleviate the boredom of the norm.

The TV show on HBO wasn’t, which may be what they’re referring to here.

Well, looks like we got ourselves a reader!

Someone who sucks because the second half doesn’t even fucking rhyme. Like that’s the best you could do?? You’d be second in a poetry competition/rap battle as well.

The slaves for sure, but it also creates a situation where the powerful may not be giving enough food to their security forces, and their security forces turn on them, joining the slaves in outright rebellion.

Not that this will bring more food in, but it could result in some of those “powerful” people suddenly not being so powerful.

Security through obscurity isn’t security.

There goes my excuse for not giving up and just paying for Unraid.

This is where I first remember hearing this tale, in this old Schoolhouse Rock parody that was in protest of the War in Iraq.

FUCK YEAH

Precedent only applies equally if we are able to prove the same in court as Meta did. Are you going to need petabytes of pirated data to train your AI? Can you afford a team of top quality lawyers to fight your case and prove you were training a small locally-hosted AI at home? Do you think Meta, of all companies, really is fighting for you to be able to do the same as them? You will still get taken to court, you will still have to fight your case, “precedent” isn’t an automatic get out of jail free card. Do you have the money to fight massive copyright holders with endless money? Of course you don’t, none of us do.
