One way to tell whether an email has been opened or not is to include a 1x1 transparent pixel that is hosted on a server you control. If the email client the recipient is using automatically loads images, you will get a hit to your webserve

I've also been hosting all of my own infrastructure including email. I have only used small cheap VPSs and one thing I have learned is that the reputation of the IP address you are assigned may or may not have a history of delivering m

Thanks for the response. I see it pretty much the same way.

I don't know. Perhaps if you elaborate a little more I can answer.

A couple of things to clarify: I can understand how you see it that way because I wasn't clear enough. I don't beleive I characterized what I'm asking in the way you are putting it. I never said that Ukraine is evil. I compet

It's not so much that AI hallucinates, but the fact that we know it does, and it's being used to make independent decisions to use lethal force against a human on the battlefield today. At least that is my understanding of one of

I never said anything about ChatGPT. And that AIs do aim at intended targets with intent to kill while simultaneously being susceptible to hallucinations is exactly what worries me.

Also, why do people keep talking about landmines? I'm talking about software, you are talking about dumb mechanical things from WWII. This isn't a philosophical question about methods of warfare from the past, but the software tha

I'd prefer a world without war, rather than one that is starting to make the movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day a reality.

I guess what I'm really asking is whether or not it's moral and ethical to use AI that targets autonomously? My understanding is that it's being used that way, but I can't back that up and I'll take your word for it

yes, yes it absfuckinglutely is. IMHO

AI drones are being used to autonomously target and kill targets by the Ukraine using technology they have been given. That's real. Right now. That that is happening anywhere on the planet scares me. That's why I keep asking about

I'm not talking about a hypothetical. I'm talking about Ukraine assymetrically fucking up the Russians with AI drones.

Perhaps you should be concerned about it. I certainly am. This is deployed on the battlefield and has been for months.

I'm talking about software being allowed to make the decision to put bullets through a human being without any human in the chain except the dead guy.

I'm asking a legitimate question, and only two people have actually tried to make an argument. Most, like you, have nothing useful to contribute.

please explain how you have discerned that people earnestly disagree with me?

One of the problems with this is companies and governments have invested 1.5 Trillion dollars on the bet that AI would revolution everything and reshape the world. AI companies lose money. All of the money invested is being recirculated amo

I only run models I can run locally. Perhaps I'm framing my question incorrectly. AI is being used in contexts that involve life and death. Being right more often is not good enough in that context. If we are going to put AI in drones

I'm hoping for more than anecdotes. I believe AI is not ready for what it's being used for, but all I get are downvotes and no citations. Maybe all of you are just scared to say it out loud?

by spl757 2mo ago
Would you trust it to make life and death decisions? Because it is being used in that context. Drones with AI, armed, and with discretion to choose a target and kill it.

Has the hallucination problem in AI been solved?

All AI hallucinates, and therefore is unpredictable and unreliable. 1.5 trillion dollars to prove the obvious. It has no place in production use. IMHO at least. They want so badly to get rid of all of us, and replace us with something that

Dollars to donuts it isn't just tiktok and instragram. If it's on the internet and not end-to-end encrypted with the proper ciphers it's being monitored. Shit, the police and feds keep things they can't decipher hoping t

SETI@Home used unused CPU in the form of a screensaver to comb through data sets that came from the famous, but now destroyed, Aricebo radio telescope. Such a shame what happened to it.

This shifts the blame, and they get the data to sell to data brokers. Less accountability, same access to info.

These laws are so short-sited and willfully ignorant of the unintended consequences. The constitution provides rights and protections, and the government cannot compel speech. This will be appealed on consititional grounds and reversed. If

All AI hallucinates. What could possibly go wrong.

I've been putting off switching to GrapheneOS but it seems like a prudent idea now.
