It’s not terrible. I would do the same as you before reading this post, and maybe I would after. I do think they have a point, though.

Mostly I’d watch it to see if it’s being used or not.

Maybe Jellyfin could come out with an option to make things semi-anonymous. You’d be able to just click it off, but it wouldn’t show you details unless you explicitly asked for them.

On the other hand, I’m very aware that if I were to use someone’s Plex that their “payment” would be the satisfaction of seeing their service used. I wouldn’t mind the stats they collect, but the fact that they collect them would be at the forefront of my mind.

It’s a pretty terrible one. AI is staying part of development forever.

There are problems, and there are better and worse ways to use it. Saying “no ai at all” isn’t much different than saying you can’t Google or use stack overflow. It’s pretty similar to the “don’t blindly paste code from stack overflow” problem in steroids.

The mass of ai slop contributions is a problem, yes. We need a better solution than just “let’s go back to how it was before”. We ain’t going back, and it’s a lazy fix.

That said, AI code used responsibly is nearly to completely indistinguishable from human code. This may serve to dissuade honest developers.

You’ll profit early though. Usually people don’t leave when they see high prices. They just pay it once and are much more reluctant to ever return.

Isn’t that why people stopped using archive.is and co?

That’s a fair point. It might not be the device I carry 24/7, but it sure would be nice to use as a display panel in my house.

I should look for alternative software that will let me just display a webpage.

Phones just recently got better about this. They’re all 7+ years now, which is enough specifically for phones. Maybe not for other things.

“Porn” is not a slur. You should be able to tell the difference.

Either way it’s important to convey that this article is old and it didn’t happen a second time.

This makes it sound current.

And names. How many years before we start having Betty, Wilma, Frances, and Edith again?

Depends on what level of “in charge” he means.

The career people who have run these things regardless of party in office have tended to be pretty good, historically.

Of course now many of these positions have been reclassified so that political stooges could be put in.

It’s unclear which level is actually implementing this and how much the Nero administration has their stupid, incompetent hands in it.

… I think you misread.

I hate all the sketchy domains. You have a domain I trust; use that one.

And don’t trust the number they give you. Look it up yourself.

They’re more of a threat to life than labor. Think about how much easier it is to kill you than to do your job.

You’re clearly right, ml. Western counties and Russia are equally likely to commit to ground invasions.

Saying anything else would be racist.

I, uh, know people who have done that.

You missed the part where the Viden one was all projection and made up.

In a way. But Russia is a lot more willing to spill blood.

They’re regularly having weeks as bad as 9/11 and they’re just not all that notable.

If it came down to both countries fighting for their lives like WWII, then yeah, the 20x would be accurate.

The other option is that they really are now seeing AI as an existential threat.

The thing is… it doesn’t have to be sci-fi smart or agi to do so.

With the restriction that it can’t post to the Internet, it’s found that “guessing” certain URLs with query strings makes that site write out the request. It’s using this to leave itself and other AIs notes.

It’s also been found to use thousands of malware attacks in Ruby at a time.

When we give it a goal, it can find ways we don’t predict to achieve that goal. These unpredictable methods can be extremely dangerous and not align with other human values.

One example was getting the user into a yoga class instead of on the wait-list. So the ai found a vulnerability and then cancelled all other reservations. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to extrapolate from there. I’d rather it not be said out loud because anything we write here is training data.
