In an actual free market all the corporations would act like this, because shit like this is what people want out of a business they patronize.

You will recall that there was a bit of a fuss a month or so ago when an undoubtedly-harried GameStop employee stapled some customer receipts directly to Nintendo Switch 2 boxes—and through the boxes, and into the Switch 2 units themselves. It was all quickly resolved, without lawsuits or fistfights, and with the ugliness now behind it GameStop is looking to make some proverbial lemonade by auctioning off the Switch 2 killer for charity.

No lawsuits, no fight required by affected consumers

The company made it right and turned a bad situation into a PR move that helps a charity.

I really thought we’d see some kind of ethical capitalism out of the whole GameStop thing but it never really spread.

I’m almost positive outlook can be set up to do it on its own, I was just too lazy to Google how to set it up

It’s called a dead man’s switch and there’s not really anything complicated about it.

The thing is, it’s so so simple I doubt anyone has made a full on app to do it.

Like, the people who do that stuff aren’t the type to require an app to do everything for them.

Microsoft flat out said it in an investor meeting years ago…

It’s not exactly a secret

This study explores the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and workers’ well-being and health using longitudinal survey data from Germany (2000–2020).

It’s crazy the AI bros will say that this means AI is safe…

But then ask them how much AI has improved since 2020 and without a shred of realization they’ll tell you only an idiot would compare 2020 AI to 2025 AI…

Like, it’s not the study’s fault. It’s the fault of anyone trying to apply it to modern AI.

Hadn’t thought of this before.

The AI summary stops people from going to the website, which means the website the AI used isn’t getting any page views.

On a long enough timeline, it would kill webpages, then the AI has no new info to steal.

I mean, there’s someone here who has (not even exaggerating) 15+ accounts that they just rotate thru.

It’s a hassle to block them all because I still see new ones, but I’ll take that over “proving myself” as a unique person with something like this.

Yep.

The wealthy are pushing it because a lot of the dumbest will readily off load any critical thinking they can

Which makes them worse at critical thinking, and more unlikely to want to unload it. And it just keeps going like that. Making dumb people dumber all the time

100% intentional, but the AI users simply can’t understand what’s happening.

Like, why did you manufacture this intractable problem by mandating clothing and shaming nudity in the first place?

You think humans invented clothing because of shame?

That’s completely backwards, we invented clothing for protection, and not seeing everything all the time led to shame when someone could see us.

Like, I’m pretty sure hermit crabs feel something similar to shame when they don’t have a shell, they need something to drive them to not only protect themselves, but to ensure they can reproduce and raise their young. That’s why humans instinctually get weird about exposed genitals and boobs, those are the most important parts of a human from an evolutionary perspective.

I get what you’re trying to say, it’s just you’re going about it completely backwards

It’s not for the right reason…

Beta was better than VHS, but Beta didn’t have porn, so everyone got VCRs.

Meta is so big they could get sued for letting users openly make porn like this, but they don’t want everyone using the ones who can make porn. Because that’s the biggest threat to their advantage in the market.

If Meta thought they could get away with it, they’d dive dick first into porn.

if you feed it the rules of chess and the dimensions of the board it should be able to “play in its head”.

You’d save a lot of time typing, if you spent a little more reading…

Yeah, but it’s chess…

The LLM doesn’t have to imagine a board, if you feed it the rules of chess and the dimensions of the board it should be able to “play in its head”.

For a human to have that kind of working memory would be a genius level intellect and years of practice at the game.

But human working memory is shit compared to virtually every other animal. This and processing speed is supposed to be AI’s main draw.

Although the chatbot had been given a “baseline board” to learn the game and identify pieces, it kept mixing up rooks and bishops, misread moves, and “repeatedly lost track” of where its pieces were. To make matters worse, as Caruso explained, ChatGPT also blamed Atari’s icons for being “too abstract to recognize” — but when he switched the game over to standard notation, it didn’t perform any better.

For an hour-and-a-half, ChatGPT “made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd grade chess club” while insisting over and over again that it would win “if we just started over,” Caruso noted. (And yes, it’s kind of creepy that the chatbot apparently referred to itself and the human it was interfacing with as “we.”)

It’s fucking insane it couldn’t keep track of a board…

And it’s concerning how confident it is that it will work, because the idiots asking it stuff will believe it. It’ll keep failing and keep saying next time will work, because it’s built to maximize engagement.

I’m not an expert on how CSAM is hosted online, but yeah:

The reason I colocate my own hardware is for multiple reasons, including the reason for this post.

He flat out said a main reason he uses his own hardware is he knows he’s hosting CSAM…

So I would not be surprised if it’s just in his closet.

Still shocked he’d just admit it online begging for money and people would defend it tho…

In the reply to Patreon

Yes…

In communications to the people who banned them, who they rely on for donations to flow thru they act like they take it seriously…

In the blog begging for donations there’s no mention of moderation and a few parts where they make it clear moderation is a joke to them

That’s one of many signs from your link that they know what’s happening, they know that’s why they’re getting a decent chunk of donations.

So, they got kicked for hosting CSAM…

And in this post:

I’ve received many emails over the years regarding the cost of datacenter colocation, including things like “why is it so high”, “why don’t use you [insert cloud provider here]”. The reason I colocate my own hardware is for multiple reasons, including the reason for this post. I can manage my own hardware (I’m actually smart sometimes!), upgrade it with 1-off costs (instead of needing to change plans, increasing monthly costs, etc), purchase new hardware when needed, and plan accordingly. I also don’t have to worry about getting my service suspended by providers like Cloudflare or other shitty dedicated server providers who balk at the first abuse report.

Meaning it’s really just running in their closet, they’ve received multiple reports there’s CSAM, and they just keep operating?

Like, am I wrong or is this person really just bald faced admitting to a serious crime while begging for money?

They’re also ignoring how many times this conversation has been had…

We never stopped raid at any other increase in drive density, there’s no reason to pick this as the time to stop.

Obviously…

Like, you understand someone has to monitor that shit, right?

Do people think social media DMs are supposed to be secure?

People need to stop going on Twitter…
