Since the internet is ad-driven, what happens when these sites can no longer afford to stay in business because AI is siphoning off their traffic? What does AI do when the content it relies on stops coming?

There are two issues I see here (besides the obvious “Why do we even let this happen in the first place?”): 1. What happened to all the data Copilot trained on that was confidential? How is that data separated and deleted from the model’s t

There's a trust built up over years (in this case, decades) by a news organization. In this case, Ars Technica. I don't trust the rando on the internet, but I do trust a news organization that has proven over the course of decade

Ever since the recent revelation that Ars has used AI-hallucinated quotes in their articles, I have to wonder whether any of these quotes are AI-hallucinated, or if the piece itself is majority or minority AI generated. If so, I have to ask

Here's one of the problems in this brave new world of anyone being able to publish, without knowing the author personally (which I don't), there's no way to tell without some level of faith or trust that this isn't a fal

what in the cinnamon toast fuck is going on here? I recognize that there are a lot of AI-enthusiasts here, both from the gold-rush perspective and from the "it's genuinely cool" perspective, but I hope -- I hope -- that wheth

The 100 mile "Constitution-free zone" 'policy' has long been a problem, not because it was abused, but because it had the propensity to be abused, and here we are, seeing it abused. With the current Supreme Court doing e

For me, the policy question I want answered is if this was a human driver we would have a clear person to sue for liability and damages. For a computer, who is ultimately responsible in a situation where suing for compensation happens? Is i

“Growth is what makes a cell a cell.” Until it turns into cancer because of unrestrained growth. Like it or not capitalism is a part of an ecosystem. We’ve been “educated” to believe that unrestrained growth in profits is what makes capital

ICE uses administrative warrants; and while administrative warrants do not allow for seizures inside a home, see my comment about the legal argument of “you can’t suppress the body” for why there’s not a whole lot that can be done if they d

I want to switch to Linux for my EOL Windows 10 originally-built-for-gaming rig. It was “new” in 2016, so I hold out hope that there will be few compatibility issues. My biggest concerns are being able to play my library of steam games on i

I understand, but do you have a news link to where the judge released him?
76.
by gortok 9mo ago
I wasn’t clear. I’m referring to a news link indicating that judges have released folks due to valid arrest warrants but invalid means of arresting folks.
77.
by gortok 9mo ago
Can you provide a news link to this? As I understand it, courts have historically followed the precedent that “you can’t suppress the body”, meaning even if the method of an arrest is illegal, you don’t have to let the person go if their ar

You purchase your own domain name and use that domain name as your email address. For instance, if I had an email address that was me@afandian.com; the afandian.com would be a custom domain. It's not routed to @gmail.com, it's rou

The comments in this thread are wild. Folks in this thread are trying to compare Waymo to human driving as some sort of expectation setting threshold. If humans can’t be perfect why should we expect machines to be? We don’t expect humans to

I can’t tell if calling themselves the CEO of Htmx(sic) is satire or meant to be taken seriously. Heck, I can’t tell if this entire post is satire or meant to be taken seriously. Maybe that’s the point? In the “it’s satire” vein, the “htm

The attached post feels AI-generated/AI-edited. I don’t know why that detracts from the usefulness of this utility, but it — at least how I’m reacting to it — seems to. For me, it reads as not having any soul to it, as well as changing

The folks that dismiss JB’s work by saying “this could have been done in <x>” are missing the point of why anything is done. If you are entirely utilitarian in how you approach making a game (as in this case) then you’ll want to creat

One thing to point out that is lost in these arguments of “they create value for the shareholders”. Folks that own a vast amount of stock do not pay taxes on that stock. They own the shares, and they take out loans against those shares. A

While we will never be able to get folks to stop using AI to “help” them shape their replies, it’s super annoying to have folks think that by using AI that they’re doing others a favor. If I wanted to know what an AI thinks I’ll ask it. I’
