From the article…

But while many think that YouTube’s system isn’t great, Trendacosta also said that she “can’t think of a way to build the match technology” to improve it, because “machines cannot tell context.” Perhaps if YouTube’s matching technology triggered a human review each time, “that might be tenable,” but “they would have to hire so many more people to do it.”

That’s what it comes down to, right there.

Google needs to spend money on people, and not just rely on the AI automation, because it’s obviously getting things wrong, its not judging context correctly.

I remember when this song first came out, the hardcore fans were expecting a more serious progressive rock song (especially when hearing the guitar intro), but what they got instead was much more of a pop song, and they were very disappointed.

Nice seeing a game not needing a third-party launcher, but instead just works with the Steam launcher.

There is a dude (or maybe more than one) that in all his comments he has an anti AI flair, or something like that,

I wonder who they are? 😜

For the record, I’m not the only one, nor the first one, to do it. I saw someone else do it, and decided to adopt it for myself as well. I’m aware of three people (and one large company) who are currently licensing their content here on Lemmy.

I wonder if that would have any effect.

One way to find out. It’s an easy enough piece of text to put into your comments…

yeah…its just surreal. I grew up when there was no Internet at all. Now we have bots mining data from a website to get more human-like responses (and more $$). Its a strange world.

Almost makes it useless to bother posting on online forums anymore, if you end up just wasting your time talking to an AI bot, instead of another human.

Which is a weird way lets the 1% win. If the rest of us can’t converse with each other because the ‘virtual town square’ becomes so polluted that meaningful conversation with other humans cannot happen.

I’m a large language model and still learning.

How do you feel about this proposed rule passing, and how it affects you? …

Reporting Certain Large AI Model Training

In an effort to secure the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), the proposed rule requires U.S. IaaS providers and their foreign resellers to report known instances of foreign persons training “large AI models with potential capabilities that could be used in malicious cyber-enabled activity” to Commerce.

The great first video card, remember it well.

It came with a kick-ass poster for its time as well.

Well, this is disappointing.

CosmicCleric, 13 days ago

Why is the cc-by-nc-sa license disappointing? Is your disappointment exclusive to version 4.0?

My only disappontment is with those humans (and humans who use ““humans””) who side with AI model using corporations that steal other people’s content to train said models for profit, over regular everyday people.

Personally I suggest Fedora with KDE.

It has a great update cadence time frame, and good hardware support (indirectly backed by IBM). And games really well in Steam/Proton.

That’ll get you the most Windows like experience on Linux, for an average user who doesn’t like to tinker much and just wants it to work out of the box.

Just make sure to accept third party libraries / apps when you first install. It’s a single checkbox that you click.

ACAB

Didn’t know what that stood for, I had to look it up.

I’m going to hope that’s wrong, and that it’s just a certain percentage in any professional caste that has bad apples.

I am willing to believe that the percentage of bad apples is larger in law enforcement, only because of the type of people who would gravitate to that type of position that would give them control over others, and how much money is spent on monitoring law enforcement personnel by the government for legal and ethics compliance, as well as mental suitability to do the job.

And no need to reply to me with every bad thing that’s ever been done by police officers. I read them all, here, as well as elsewhere. I just can’t subscribe to the 100% pop that ACAB stands for.

I don’t recognize that second quote, as it wasn’t stated by me. Could you elaborate?

Is it an external leak? Or an internal one?

My guess would be internal to the engine/compartment somewhere, with limited or no access to the broken part, or else they would have repaired it instead of just monitoring it.

n the meantime I’ve been changing my post sort from Active, to Top Posts in the Past 12 Hours.

If you set it to ‘New’ Lemmy becomes a whole new place.

Flu time, unfortunately.

Nothing like running a fever for five days, but at least it finally broke.

Ah well then I might try and find a license that doesn’t require attribution because I don’t care about that part.

I would argue attribution is also really important, as it forces them to expose publicly how they’re training their models, bringing awareness.

CosmicCleric, 13 days ago

what are you going to do? Sue?

Personally? I let Creative Commons know what’s going on, that their licenses are being ignored.

I’m pretty sure they’d have something to say about the matter.

at the very least it’s way less annoying to see it on a website than it is under every comment

You’re free to block those that use the license, if you find it annoying to see.

CosmicCleric, 13 days ago (edited 13 days ago)

You’re free to reply to a week-old comment, too, but neither is a great idea

Actually, five days, not a week.

And also, sometimes its just about making a point, even if you stumble upon something later on. 🤷

The point you felt was worth making a week later

Again, five days ago. Some people like myself stumble upon a post/comment days and days later from when its initially posted.

is that I am free to block someone who does something I find kind of annoying?

Yeah, for some reason people who complain about me using a license seem to keep forgetting that option, but instead just continue to complain, for some strange reason, no matter how many times I remind them of that option. Thought it was a good PSA to remind the complainers they they have alternatives to complaining.

That seems a little extreme to me.

If that seems extreme to you, then you need to touch grass more often.

Extreme would be continuing to complain about something that you have the power to change, but don’t change.

or replying to week-old comments by someone doing the thing I find annoying.

Again, its five days since you posted your comment, not a week, and its just seen by me for the first time about two hours ago.

Nice off-topic comment. Pretty sure by now everybody is aware of that (and other posts) on the topic of using a license.
