It certainly is using generative AI methods given Jensen is calling it that. People have their own issues with things, but IP theft is the biggest for me given it shows the disturbing amount of leeway people developing have been given to break the law.

I wouldn’t have called this generative AI, but Jensen did. Great for stills, uncanny valley for motions. People are claiming it generates completely new images, but in this instance it keeps the same geometry and texture and just processes motion and color vectors to create a hyper-rendered version of the characters.

Ignoring the obvious problems of the hardware it requires and supporting the AI bubble feeding monopoly that is NVIDIA, it is interesting technology that doesn’t actually seem to act as a medium for IP theft, my beef with what I call AI slop. It might only be practically good for photo mode in games, but it will be interesting to see how it works out. It could kickstart interest in making Let’s Play in a more Machinima style.

Linux is BAD - Best Android Dependency.

There still need to be people to go in and arrest them, and meat is cheaper than motors and hydraulics using resources that would otherwise remain unexploited.

That’s why they are driving countries into fascism., there will be plenty of police state jobs.

A lot of the technology you use to connect over VPNs or over the Internet already addresses MitM. If it’s typo-squatted, you are sort of using password managers wrong. You do have the option of setting up TOTP elsewhere like on your phone authenticator so the point of failure isn’t on your side, I just think it’s sort of funny how easily you can make it be one.

If you can get at a password by hacking a website, I wouldn’t be holding out hope that they couldn’t then steal the TOTP secret.

If the site is compromised, then the hackers could have stolen the TOTP secrets as well as the passwords. How do you think the site verifies TOTP codes? If you reuse passwords while using a password manager, you are asking for it, though.

On the other end, there is an excessive use of 2FA with systems for whom the concept of SSO seems to be a foreign thing. It’s also sort of funny that 2FA can just mean using a TOTP capable password manager, reverting it back to one factor.

It’s a valid label, I don’t even see it as particularly rude. The reason people go to school is literally a skill issue.

The fact that only Cambridge Analytica has been investigated for manipulation is a testament to how widespread it is, and that Elon Musk was able to buy Twitter without consequence was just reality smearing it all over our faces.

I imagine they contacted US authorities regarding this information on the back channels, a lot of social networks allow people to continue posting so they can “incriminate” themselves in regards to whatever interests they may be offending while having open contact with authorities.

No, tech companies are not your friends, and they can easily be compelled by the states they legally reside in without it ever becoming public knowledge.

Hopefully news agencies run with it, but their CEOs and chairmen seem to be largely complicit.

As long as it is open, it can be expanded upon. Most VR sets seem like proprietary hellscapes that want to get you trapped into their ecosystem. Steam, for what it is, gives me more faith than most.

Chances are I will just be streaming my main PC remotely through Virtual Desktop, Steam Remote Play, or whatever is the most convenient. The x86 chipset won’t matter because it won’t really run anything that I would want to run that requires x86 well.

The only thing I can complain about is that it seems to have less of an augmented reality focus than Apple Vision Pro, although it’s too soon to tell. I’d like to be able to use VR along with standard keyboard and mouse peripherals with virtual monitors to boot. Instead of letting me decorate some imaginary room, let me decorate my existing room with virtual widgets.

Besides some rumors and claims that he police officers would already have confirmed themselves by now, there is nothing to suggest he is. The closest I’ve seen are the claims that he was “deep Groyper signalling” with the bullet case inscriptions, but that’s just grasping at straws.

I suspect his Discord gamer group may have been more involved in shaping his ideology, specially if he was giving details on how he towel wrapped his rifle there. Unfortunately, Discord nuked it and now we have to rely on the (in)competence of the Trump appointed authorities and their heavy political baggage.

The fact is that is you have a group that fetishizes guns and fetishizes using them and the tactical encounters with them using a “second amendment” “it’s there to act against the oppressor” ideology, you are going to get shooters. Why obsess about what the spark or the trigger was? The Groypers are basically The Army of the 12 Monkeys in this scenario.

A black box you can’t look inside making determinations that could affect your access to the entire site. How dystopian. It’s also pretty clearly only useful for pruning users en masse and not have to bother with the responsibility a moderator should be subject to.

Yeah, this is a shit instance to have a discussion in anyway.

Cool, I’ll come to you to check on the feelings of literally entirely everyone else when I need to. I’m glad everyone went out and got themselves a spokesman. Meanwhile, I’ll point you to an earlier mention in my comments about raising awareness.

You shift into completely diametrically opposed claims whenever it seems to suit you and portray a lack of awareness and possibility as consensus in this regard. Is it “trying to re-engineer the whole platform” or is it already “possible today”? There is no use like this because without willingness, people will just set up the instances like they’ve been told they have and perform slight variations on them. That is no proof or argument against the idea at all from people just following the cookie cutter.

Like I said, I can’t force you to see it. The fact that you think it would mean re-engineering the whole platform means you aren’t getting it. It’s almost literally the suggestion of least effort, it’s largely an organizational change that encourages instances not to cope with more responsibility than they can deal with by encouraging decoupling the current structure into two more specialized ones.

If you want re-engineering the whole platform, then I would suggest having all instances be authentication instances and rather than “host” communities to allow users to broadcast to community labels. Have any number of moderation groups be able to be created in an organized on that label or a personalized way by allowing users to select their own curators, perhaps even extrapolating it from the downvotes of trusted users and prioritizing the ranking of those they value. Work on providing a ground.news of discussions instead of biased takes and prunings from those in charge. Allow fast tracking of moderation across these adhoc groups for specially toxic content. That would solve the problem of nobody really going from a 10000 user community that has 100 daily posts to a 10 user community with 2-3 posts a week, because they would all operate within the same community but every user would be able to customize their perspective. The risk then is to balance the bubble they’ve created with transparency of all the other bubbles people are creating to interact with the community. Each particular instance would be able to be as biased as it wants to particular users or groups of users, but their content would truly be broadcast and federated.
