And then the LLM says something like “You’re absolutely right, there was an error in that code that is clear and obvious now it has been pointed out and despite the fact you gave the instruction to make no errors. Is there anything else I can help with?”

… and they’ll be too blind to take that as the warning it is and continue to ask even more of the LLM.

You don’t happen to use a VPN service, do you?

I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of accounts have been using the same exit node as you, and since you all have the same IP address, you must all clearly be the same person running multiple accounts.

Alternatively, you’re on an ISP with a non-fixed IP address and during the various rotations you’ve at some point had an IP address that was - previously or subsequently - leased by someone who did something against Reddit TOS. Again, clearly, there is absolutely no way you could possibly be different people and so all of those accounts must be banned.

Alternatively, alternatively, someone took exception to what you said, went on a power trip, booted you and, when asked for an explanation, pulled the first excuse off the pile, valid or not.

Annnyway. Welcome to the Fediverse.

Call me cynical, but I think you’ve put quotes around the wrong part of your title.

Try around “accidentally”.

DDR4 is cheaper than DDR5, sure, but retailers have jacked the price of both by the same percentage, so it’s not really all that much of a rescue.

I expect people will need a full mortgage to pay for DDR6 when it comes out next year.

Interesting. And yet it’s still incomplete. F6 and Alt+D both do the same thing (focus the address bar), so there’s at least one line missing and definitely at least one column.

This must seriously be messing with the heads of people high up in insurance companies. On the one hand AI is something that no C-level can resist, but on the other, that’s an expensive way to say “no” to every request for money.

I saw a documentary about this. I think they called it Caprica.

One thing is certain: Your distro’s repository’s version of yt-dlp - even on bleeding edge distros - is likely out of date, and you’ll have to find and run the appimage version from the devs.

Dodge v. Ford Motor Company, 1919.

This case found and entrenched in US law that the primary purpose of a corporation is to operate in the interests of its shareholders.

Therefore OpenAI, based in California, would be under threat of lawsuit if they didn’t do that.

This goose is already cooked.

The DDR4 sticks I got 18 months ago now cost 300-400% the price they were, so it’s not just DDR5.

… and I just realised the title doesn’t actually mean “DDR5 prices”, but that was an easy misinterpretation on my part, so I guess I’ll post this anyway.

Did you miss the part where I said “It’s not there as an alternative.” or are you being deliberately obtuse?

The point of them putting Discord itself into their page of Discord alternatives. It’s not there as an alternative. It’s there for comparison purposes.

You missed the point. They’re using it as a baseline (literally their word), a basis for comparison, a control (in the sense of experiment) if you will, before leaping off into the alternatives.

Most of the age verification things I’ve seen are wise to that and require a video camera, not a still one.

I reckon there’s a few of us about on here.

Yes. The institution in question is human society. We generally grant the permission to make rational decisions over our lives to other humans who know better that we do or are more skilled than we are.

Sometimes, yes, those humans turn out to have been deceitful or dishonest, but there are mechanisms in place for when that happens.

And yes, sometimes those mechanisms are wilfully avoided by the deceitful. Politicians and rich people are especially good at this.

Guess who’s pushing “AI”? The thing that has no contract with human society and cannot be held accountable. And neither will the people pushing it.

This is why we should have as little to do with it - at least as it is in its current form - as possible.

Tangential advice: Many people use YouTube (and formerly Twitch until they nixed it) as a place to store videos. As in the only copy of a video is hosted there.

If your videos are precious to you (or you think they’re going to be), make arrangements for them to be at least stored elsewhere, if not hosted. That’s not going to be cheap what with hardware prices going through the roof, personally or third-party, but it is necessary because no host is both trustworthy and permanent.

Actually not even self-storage is as trustworthy and permanent as we’d like, but it’s still better than any alternative for data retention.

Also, donate to your chosen Fediverse host(s) if you can.

Fake AGI is like fake banknotes. Some of them are really good approximations. Nigh indistinguishable. A lot of people will be fooled by it but eventually it will be discovered to be a fake and people will get hurt in some way or another.

And it won’t be the people who are pushing for “AGI”.

The people who are seeking AGI will be happy when an LLM appears clever enough to fool them, not anyone else.

They may even realise this, because they think everyone else is less clever than they are.

This is why the whole thing has been called AI in the first place.
