My sister uses Gemini and calls it chat gpt. It's becoming a genericide.

Just so we're on the same page, you don't think that an llm is going to achieve AGI right? Like you're thinking some sort of combination between world models, llms, visual models and others. Right?

I've literally not met one person in tech who thinks LLMs will become sentient or conscious. But I always see people online claiming that there are lots of people who believe that. Where are they? Are we sure that's not a misunder

That may be true, but I'm still trying with one of my side projects. If for no other reason than it's a difficult problem and fun to hack at.

There are several services that offer detection as a service. Some have good free tiers. But if you get popular then you better have a monetization strategy. Imgur is a good case study I think.

Deny by default, allowlist per account. That's what lemmy.ca is doing, you have to apply for an account. This is speculation; they may look at ips and other fingerprint data to determine if they accept your acc application.

Ever worked on a distributed system with hundreds of millions of customers and seemingly endless business requirements? Some things are complex.

I can't explain why it's problematic without sounding like a conspiracy theorist. Maybe I should reevaluate my perspective.

This is one of the reasons I always identify as non-binary when asked.

There's multiple things happening here. People are using LLMs to write, for sure. It's only natural to absorb what you consume, so as people read more LLM generated content they can unintentionally emit it. And then there's c

Software doesn't need to be good to be successful; it only needs to solve a problem and be better than the competition. I predict a golden age for experienced developers! There will be an uncountable number of poorly designed apps with

I consume a lot of different content on a lot of different places. Every site or app has its vibe and communal beliefs. They rarely if ever agree on anything, but they all agree we're in a massive bubble. I don't have a point, jus

Same. I have a lot of ideas I like to explore that people find boring or tedious. I used to just read, but it's pleasant to have the option to play with those thoughts more.

The latest Nano Banana is pretty good, but it's not perfect yet. And many font use cases demand perfect. Maybe the next major update will be able to do it.

Nobody really knows the future. What were originally consumer graphics expansion cards turned out useful in delivering more compute than traditional CPUs. Now that compute is being used for transformers and machine learning, but we really d

Open question, If you're on a VPN and using Firefox containers, is the only way to identify me to look at my mouse movement and correlate it?

The older I get the more I see that RMS was right about so many things. When I was young I used to think of him as that eccentric pedantic mit guy but now I see him as a true warrior for freedom.

I'm actually impressed with windows 11. I've been using win since 3.11. 95, 98, 98se, 2000, XP (the dream), 7, and 10. And finally after a lifetime of windows, 11 finally got me to switch my desktop OS to Ubuntu! So 11 achieved so

Cool! I didn't anticipate that. I look forward to seeing it. After SGU was cancelled I wasn't sure if anybody was going to give SG another serious go.

Specifically, we don't know the goals. Generally, we know it's about control and fear of losing power. It's a stolen quote but rings true: Those with power fear one thing above all else; losing said power.

They've got us addicted. They're going to squeeze us eventually. I know my company don't stop using agent driven development. It's increased our velocity too much.

Hey, strange question, but I want to play with LLM users. How do I attract them to my site? I mostly only seem to get boring humans.
