Any data-breach would be an utter nightmare for the users with that sort of info on the site.

I have for a while, and will for the foreseeable future, name my computers `terminal`. It started as a joke, but has turned into a habit. Every device I own is named that, with the exception of my cellphone, which is named `phone`.

This, to me, sounds like personal opinion. Many developers in the EEA, while agreeing that it causes extra work, like the spirit of GDPR. The attitude (a generalisation) towards the American way of working with private data, is generally th

There's sadly a subset of IT folks, often in large corps or government, who tend to just drink the Microsoft "Customer Success Engineer" koolaid without thinking. When I worked briefly for a gov org, any time the IT staff cam

Less so, actually! I've read a lot of stuff from that era about techno apocalyptic fears, and this has the exact same sort of content. I'd put this is the same category as early Land and his technoculture meltdown predictions.

This is an important addendum, since the poster is also in here using the same language as the article. I mistakenly concluded they had written this at first.

I did not, I noticed a comment from the poster of the article using the same sort of language in the article and mistakenly concluded they were the author (new account, and this is their only submission). I don't think that takes away

This is a very bizarre article. The opening starts off stating that neural networks may "wake up", and never goes on to explain what that means. The concerns in here have been around for decades, and really don't sound like a

While the UX is good, I find the AI tends to fall into non-debate general OpenAI generated responses very fast. For example, I started with: The covid vaccine was an objective good for society And the model ended up arguing against me in

I know, it's just irritating to have to do that, or have an extension do it. I would be happy to support a search engine that lets me filter out unwanted crud.

This is a really cool tool. Have you considered filtering known blog-spam/low-quality content mill/SEO'ed garbage type sites (ie: GeeksForGeeks, W3Schools, TutorialsPoint)? That would make me definitely jump on this, and even

I suppose a solution to this would be something like pre-war iron. We would have to rely on archived sources, like Wikipedia past edits, that come from before ChatGPT existed.

I was curious about this recently, so I built a very rudimentary neural net trained on GPT generated text messages, and human generated text messages. I was able to get a surprisingly good detection accuracy with just under 1k lines from ea

Right, that's a fair point, but I think when it comes to fake news, the issue really is about the quality, rather than quantity. Really lethal fake news requires you to be in touch at a deep level with your target audience to make it s

This is not "talk to historic figures", this sounds like "talk to a machine that writes stylised after historic figures". I highly doubt Shakespeare spoke in sonnets.

It's a new level of unthinking Kafkaesque bureaucracy. I always felt that admin at university don't only forget they're dealing with humans, but they're borderline misanthropic.
