This is what machine learning is useful for. Not to try to convince you that oranges are active and potatoes are passive, or to give you a thumbs up with 7~8 fingers. But to detect patterns and allow automation of repetitive tasks.
Sorry beforehand for the long reply.
Initially, one of .ml's admins (who's also a Lemmy developer) manually excluded ani.social from the list of instances in the join-lemmy site, and defederated it from .ml. When requested to revert the change, he falsely claimed that the instance is "full of CSAM". Eventually, the other .ml admin + Lemmy dev reviewed the "evidence" brought by the first one, concluded "there's no CSAM" here, and reverted that change.
They kept ani.social defederated, but that's fine - .ml is strictly SFW, there's some NSFW content in ani.social, so it's consistent.
Some time goes by, and a user creates a thread about "Mahou Shoujo something" in the !anime .ml community. I don't like that series; but more importantly it is NSFW, so the discussion was removed by a third .ml admin (not a dev).
Then we (a few users, incl. me) started discussing the eventual migration of the comm to ani.social. Because we knew that issues like this would keep happening, it was the best for both sides. With those first and third admins finding low-hanging fruits to wreck the discussion across multiple threads, such as "it lists to a pedo instance" or "doxxing" people. Claims that are blatantly knowingly false, because:
- ani.social was linked in the sidebar of !anime@lemmy ml for ages, and the local admins never bothered with it. But "suddenly" it becomes an issue, concomitantly with people discussing the migration of a comm to another instance?
- one of the people discussing the migration brought the contradiction above to the admins' attention. And yet the link stayed there, even if the admins were in a position to change it. Showing that no, linking ani.social was not the real issue that prompted the removal of the discussion, but the discussion about emigrating from that instance.
- In no moment, the people talking about the admin actions referred to personally identifiable information, like "you're John Smith"; we solely associated the administrative actions with the usernames. And that was done in a neutral tone, with zero harassment from my knowledge. (Relevant tidbit: both admins clearly use pseudonyms.)
- To add injury, the third admin in question was grasping at straws to defend the necessity of an anime community in an instance about open source and privacy, in a way not too unlike spez' "I'm one of you! We snoos stand together!" babble.
From public PoV, the matter ends here: you have the .ml admin team enforcing hidden rules and taking users as cattle to be herded. From my PoV, it gets worse.
I used to moderate a large-ish comm there, called !snoocalypse, about Reddit's downfall. In that comm, users (including me, the mod) were consistently saying stuff like "Steve Huffman the greedy pigboy". And in no moment the .ml admins took action against it, or even contacted me to say "hey mod, don't let your users do that".
So, naming someone by their RL name to call him a "greedy pigboy" is not doxxing. But stating which admin took which action by their username, in a neutral way, is suddenly doxxing??? And there's no way that the admins never saw it, because they were often removing content there.
Of course, the content that they were removing was from another nature: posts criticising either the Russian Federation or the People's Republic of China, typically under the allegations that violated rules #1 and #2 (basically: bigotry and making people feel unwelcome, or something like this).
Don't get me wrong, my issue is not that they were removing that criticism. I probably wouldn't bat an eye if they had some written rule like "don't criticise the RF or the PRC here"; I do criticise both but I'd see it within their rights. My issue here is to distort what others users say to fit the rules being listed, in order to enforce some rule not being listed, that is literally Reddit admins tier behaviour.
I agree with the move; it reduces the unnecessary waste of time, space, and material. While some things should have physical copies, not everything needs to.
Regarding the "AI" part: the author is simply highlighting that BRD is sticking to really old technology, in a world going further steps beyond. Don't think too hard on that.
Frankly I also like the original better. It seems more reasonable, less like "it's impossible" and more like "it's really hard".
You could, but even then you need to put some thought on how to prompt and review/edit the output.
I've noticed from usage that LLMs are extremely prone to repeat verbatim words and expressions from the prompt. So if you ask something like "explain why civilisation is bad from the point of view of a cool-headed logician", you're likely outing yourself already.
A lot of the times the output will have "good enough" synonyms. That you could replace with more accurate words... and then you're outing yourself already. Or simply how you fix it so it sounds like a person instead of a chatbot, we all have writing quirks and you might end leaking them into the review.
And more importantly you need to aware that it is an issue, and that you can be tracked based on how and what you write.
You can’t eat your cake and have it too.
And I can't "magically" know what you're referring to, either - given that you're replying to a rather long comment but providing exactly zero context on what specifically you're replying to.
Quotes, use them.
Happy pride for you folks.
I've been using 4chan for longer than Reddit and Lemmy combined. Mostly /vg/ (games), /g/ (tech) and /a/ (anime, manga).
Mostly for discussion. /g/ and /vg/ are decent for asking stuff if there's a general about the topic that you want to ask info about, you want a relatively fast answer, and it isn't something overly asked (e.g. "which distro should I use?" "INSTALL GENTOO" tier). Just make sure to not trust anything said there.
Other boards are typically too slow (like /ck/) or cesspools (like /b/, ~~/b corta/~~ /v/, /pol/).
Even for things within a single axis, like good vs. bad, it's more complicated than it looks like. For example I've noticed plenty Brits using "not bad" to convey "really good"; while typically Americans would use it for "passable". So you're being spot on when you say that it is not the same as an inversion.
On logical grounds what happens there is instead exclusion - and then, which value you'll take from the leftover will be heavily culture-dependent.
I believe that this should explain even the negation in non-IE languages like Japanese "nai", Guaraní (n[d]- -[r]i circumfix).
How would you even invert an adjective that doesn’t exist on a one-dimensional scale?
At least in theory you'd invert all meaningful attributes. In some cases it doesn't really make sense; just like you can't invert a natural number. The negation = exclusion still does make sense in all of them.
That's it! When I grow up I won't become an astronaut or firefighter. I'm going to become a copyright troll!
I recommend people to read the comments in that thread, too. A lot of them are rather insightful; they get it - the problem is not just Google being a cheapstake, but also the copyright laws themselves.
This one is IMO specially insightful:
... and that is the strategy, right? It is cheaper for them [YouTube] to have a botched process that most people will not even try to fight, then to become more sophisticated (i.e., involve more actual humans) in order to preempt complaints. Alphabet / Google / YouTube are so big they can literally just ignore their users and still get away with it.
If you genuinely believe that the current LLMs are intelligent, odds are that you have nothing meaningful to talk about LLMs, and thus I won't waste my time with you.
Additionally: look for johncena141's releases. They're packed in a bit of an obnoxious way (you got to have DwarFS, a bit annoying to install in Mint*), but he'll typically provide native versions of the game if possible, and when it needs wine he'll also bundle the game with the WINE version that it works the best with.
*to be honest I use his releases mostly to extract the contents.
