Can someone catch me up, I thought people liked Mullvad… but this thread seems to suggest otherwise. What did I miss?

This just in… I think I’m going to start training my own LLM on various movies, TV shows, and music. US government said it was ok.

Idk, I think I’d rather use IE than any Samsung app. At least IE tried to do some interesting things and tried to be customer focused…

People need to stop supporting these companies. Stop buying Nintendo. Stop buying Sony.

In my experience, the code AI generates, can be VERY bad. Like, sure it might work, assuming it didn’t randomly hallucinate and decide to randomly change a variable name half way through for no reason. But it’ll be a code base only AI can read. It looks like the spaghetti code I wrote when I first started learning. I’ve watched people build up massive documents to help guide the AI and it still crap out a mess.

If you know how to code, and you know exactly what it needs to do, and you manage to contain it… it can produce code that’s fine. But if you’re not a SME in the language, libraries, frameworks, etc… and you just let AI do whatever, it’s garbage-in garbage-out. But because the computer did it, because AI did it, people just implicitly trust it. Despite the warnings and general knowledge that AI will make mistakes.

AI has really shown how and why so many people fall for obvious lies on social media.

With all these electronic gadgets they be deploying… wonder if they’re shielded for EMP.

I used to pay for this. Started a long time ago, when YouTube’s content was… well, better. But now they’re pushing EVERYTHING towards “Shorts” and it’s pure garbage. Not only does it NOT curate for the people watching it, like how many times do I have to say “not intereste”, “don’t show me this channel anymore,” or just fucking report channels for their “algorithm” to get a clue. AI being spammed left and right, and they claim they can’t do shit about it, meanwhile, you whistle 3 seconds of a Nintendo song and your channel already has a strike against it.

The amount of content farms that’s just pulling crap from reddit, putting dumb pointless videos behind it, while AI reads a made-up story. The amount of content where it’s just some fucker who’s just staring at the screen like a creepy fucker, meanwhile something from the MCU plays in the background… they’re adding nothing. Or the pre-recorded “masked” heads (like Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc.) randomly gesturing at… fuck all.

People used to make things. YouTube had content. Not saying it was all great. Since TikTok got big, I feel like YT chasing after them things started to go downhill. And then “AI” comes out and the quality just fucking tanks.

I don’t pay for YT Premium anymore. PiHole + AdBlock is used everywhere now. And if a YouTuber promotes anything, literally, fuck that product/company as well. Fucking scorch earth on all those fucking advertisers and the algorithm.

You’re not wrong. Swatting in that area is going to be so easy. United States police force has already shown for years now that if AI says anything they’ll just go with it and not question it. So if someone lives in the area and you want them ‘dealt with’ by the police, it’s going to be very easy. And the police aren’t going to look into it or hold themselves accountable. And the AI won’t be questioned or removed. If this goes large scale you can just make an API… Don’t like someone on twitch, well when you know it there will be an app for that…

Packer/Terraform for all VM’s on all providers

Not true. You still very much have contracts with those companies be it RHEL or Ubuntu. It’s less don’t get me wrong, but not free. Like your small local shop could get away with it, but once you have regulatory oversight, things change.

I make golden images for Windows at work. Everything Microsoft annoys/pissed me off.

Not the be that prick, but how? If there’s an active shooter, you’re not bulletproof just because you’re a parent. Or are you storming in and going to start shooting yourself? Really curious what your plan is.

Ah yes, let’s flood the 911 lines with panicked kids and then their parents too. Making sure no other emergencies can call 911. Isn’t it great every single other type of emergency a person can have will magically be put on hold until the school situation is cleared up…

Oh, and there’s going to be some kids who will think they need to give regular updates, so they’d likely put themselves in danger in order to “just help”

Oh bless your heart.

They’re not 90%, yet… But just raise the prices and pass the blame has been in fashion pretty hard for the last 6 years.

Or, hear me out. You go for a bigger baby… just target the shit out of Trump and Vance.

Elon will just do what he needs to do to silence the posts and posters. But if the platform is making deepfakes of Trump… that’ll cause more tension between them. Have deepfakes of Trump bragging about getting away with the Epstein files, scamming over his mindless followers, etc. (Lets be honest, they’d be fake videos of things that actually happened.) Just flood it. And make all of them click bait as hell.

Who else is going to have access to it when you keep laying off all the people?

I never wanted AI on my phone, period. I don’t care which one. The Google Assistant was more than enough, if not too much. Never got asked if I wanted any of this shit, it was just forcefully added into every fucking thing.

My old ass phone, Google pushed out AI. (I plan to swap to GrapheneOS soon). It’s less useful than Assistant. And features are disappearing.

My Windows 10 PC… fucking AI added. To be honest, never opened it.

Because I use Android Auto when driving, technically, thanks to Google, I have AI there too. And as stated, it’s less functional than the original assistant.

Drive-thru… AI. It’s slower and less accurate than a person. Only upside, because it doesn’t have a budget mic from the 1980’s it’s clearer than a person.

Work… AI. Co-Pilot for VSCode, as a tool, it’s fine, get’s a lot wrong. But I had some upper manager claim they recreated DoorDash in like 5 minutes with AI (clearly they didn’t). We just had a recent wave of layoffs (I survived). But they are monitoring AI usage to ensure we use enough per month…

News?.. AI. Both good or bad news about it, I’m just so fucking sick of the exact same things. Trump, AI, Trump, AI, Trump, AI… that’s all it is, all the time. Just how both are fucking everyone.

Why? Because YT’s automation process is so regularly crap I assume it might work.

I can’t speak to guidelines, as I don’t regularly read those. But the “crying girl” AI that’s drop shipping things, or the AI girl talking about sex (in a non educational space), (and there’s more) and they all have links to external pages… feels like at best right now it’s exploiting a gray area. Some are just AI where they create situations for views, which, meh. But they’re not clearly labeled as “this is AI, this is fake, this is for entertainment only”. Not to use a slipper slope argument, but once it gets to the point it’s hard for people to quickly see it’s AI, this could easily (and pretty sure it’s already happened) be used to fake situations and get people riled up about literally nothing. Like we could start seeing videos of fake police violence. Which does nobody any good.

I would love to know how AI, which just steals and shares info doesn’t violate HIPPA. Do they just append “and please don’t share this data.” and hope it works?
