I don’t install any app that has ads, to the extent that I even uninstalled Google Maps and became a pariah that has no Whatsapp. Most apps are from f-droid, I use OSMAND~ from f-droid, Firefox with ublock origin to browse and pipepipe as youtube client. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ad on this phone and that’s how I like it.

The distinction of using pre-existing CSAM is notable because law enforcement and child protection organizations frequently give those illegal materials a kind of digital fingerprint – known as a hash – which allows them to track images and videos when they appear online. In this case, attorneys for the plaintiff stated that the Canadian Centre for Child Protection used images’ fingerprints to identify AI-generated CSAM on X that depicted their client.

How does that work? Are there hashes of child sex abuse images somehow reproduced by LLM? Surely the new images don’t have the same hashes. Guardian is not really being clear here.

edit: Ars’ is less badly written: “This is the first case to accuse xAI of training on CSAM, and the complaint does not go into great detail on that claim. Previously, Ars reported on a controversial dataset that was later scrubbed after researchers found CSAM in the training data, but there’s no indication xAI trained on that data. In a press release from lawyers representing Doe, it explained that Doe’s images were included in a CSAM Hash List maintained by NCMEC, and “that same material” allegedly “was part of the dataset xAI used to build Grok’s image and video generating capabilities.” The complaint similarly only alleged that “CSAM depicting Plaintiff with its longstanding well-known hash values has been used as a part of the dataset used by xAI.””

The answer is always the human centipede

Following that logic, pirating software is quite all right, no one is stupid enough to believe someone loses if they make a copy.

I don’t choose Omarchy, I don’t need hyprland and don’t like how they embrace vibe coding, but it saddens me that people are so angry. I haven’t read any of his screeds or tweets and don’t give a fuck about any of it, but how is not discounting software on account of project lead’s racism same as… being in the same room with mass children murderers? And their sympathizers? These metaphors are not working.

You can disagree over dietary preferences not over “is hitler in my supply chain a problem?”.

I can disagree about whether DHH actually is Hitler. Also, I don’t have a supply chain, I use a Linux OS. I actually have no problems with said OS being made by nazis and/or racists, so long as the software is good. I wouldn’t click a EULA that demands I condone nazis or racism, but that’s a separate story; cancel culture has done nothing good but further divided people. That said, there are legit reasons not to use Omarchy, such as their idea of slopmachines vibefixing bugs directly from user reports.

What the fuck does that have to do with the Linux distro? Many everyday products you use are made by people you don’t agree with. It’s called society.

I disagree, I met people from reddit at meets IRL and we played darts and drank beer.

Their moat is people not being arsed to make an account on a service that’s not actively hostile to its users.

Regardless of what it’s technically considered, it’s tabloid noise that I’d also argue shouldn’t be in a news sublemmy

The idea that anything other than my needs should factor into the generation of text for me is patently offensive.

Primary reason I’m not using any hosted LLMs is I can’t stand and don’t want to start relying on tools that can be stealthily enshittified or made an advertising tool.

unfortunately the size of the US economy means that will flow onto the rest of the world

Yeah, yeah, we’ll survive, just lance the fucking boil

Depending on how much we integrate it into all our shit I fear it could also do it imperceptibly.

Because reddit shut its api access off and “rif is fun for reddit” stopped working, duh.

I actually call them sublemmies

Not only that, Russinovich through some magic made them keep this online: https://live.sysinternals.com/ and it’s the best site MS has, no bullshit whatsoever, dates showing when the tools were last updated. If you’re helping some unfortunate soul doomed to windows, it’s a great resource.
