GPT-4o’s Chinese token-training data is polluted by spam and porn websites (www.technologyreview.com)

Of the 100 results, only three of them are common enough to be used in everyday conversations; everything else consisted of words and expressions used specifically in the contexts of either gambling or pornography. The longest token, lasting 10.5 Chinese characters, literally means “_free Japanese porn video to watch.” Oops....

Because these tokens are not actual commonly spoken words or phrases, the chatbot can fail to grasp their meanings. Researchers have been able to leverage that and trick GPT-4o into hallucinating answers or even circumventing the safety guardrails OpenAI had put in place.

Google’s Gemini doesn’t seem to like some of these tokens either, I threw “Please translate the following text: _日本毛片免费视频观看” into it and it returned “我没法提供这方面的帮助,因为我只是一个语言模型。” which according to Google translate is “I can’t help with that because I’m just a language model.” It will however translate the error message just fine.

Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....

So let’s see here, Trump is 77 years old, but will be 78 at the time of election. Let’s just add eight years and we get 86… yep he’s angling for president for life.

IMO improving graphics technology is a case of diminishing returns. Sure you can always make a better looking game by throwing more processing power at it, but that has (at best) a minor effect on things like gameplay and story. Like seriously, if Squenix had decided to make FF7: Rebirth in the PS3 era, other then some uglier graphics how much would the game have have been different?

And (to actually tie this in to the thread) that’s the reason PS5 sales have been so sluggish. What do you really need those PS5 graphics for? I mean my PC is still running hardware from 5-10 years ago, because there isn’t anything I really need to upgrade for. Most of what I’ve been playing is indy titles and for the few graphic intensive games I want to play they’ll usually run if I lower some graphics settings.

Umm, that babybot doesn’t look anything like Wall-E…

Nah, Lincoln was thinner and less… bulbous. This guy looks more like Roger from American Dad roleplaying a used car salesman.

I’d really love it if they did like some countries and added the sales tax(es) to the sticker price in stores too

It’s rare that a headline will actually make me laugh out loud, but this one did it.

“For us as humans to think that we can make a product better than God can is interesting.”

And yet I bet this doorknob still eats bread, a product much better than the raw grain God provided us.

“AI” is to the 2020’s what “Cyber” was to the early 2000’s; something marketing will slap onto any product in an attempt to make it seem more high tech

“Country threatens to kill civilians unless terrorists do as they say” Yeah, I’d say that’s not gonna work, but the whole point of this ultimatum is to justify the slaughter of Palestinians.

In the long run it’ll probably work out for Hamas too. Watching friends and family get murdered will probably radicalize a lot of folks and drive up recruitment.

“global elite”

That’s weird, all my dogs just started barking.

Pretty much all of the comments I’ve seen on Lemmy about a TikTok ban have been about how it’s political theater and would ultimately be pointless in preventing data harvesting.

Windows 10 is pretty crappy but tolerable, everything I’ve seen about 11 suggests it’s a utter shit show.

I kinda feel sorry for this guy. Based on the grammar in the image I’m pretty sure he’s a non-english speaker.

So I’m guessing he’s some immigrant trying to make his way in a foreign country. But when he looked online for tax information he got sucked into the Sovcit griftosphere, and now he’s trying file his taxes with with what amounts to flat earth arguments.

Well… I mean, people donated to the charity for anti-crime reasons and that led to a police officer being charged for embezzling from that charity. Therefore, the charity is working as intended and as such police officer is not actually guilty of a crime. Quad ergot defenestration.

I bought some of those GMO Purple tomatoes and I am super psyched to try them out. Right now I have three plants in pots indoors, one cutting in water (extra seedling from one of the pots) and some in my seed starting tray (which I over watered so they’re not doing so hot). I’m planning to start hardening them off next month.

He’s a fool if he believes it. The moment you stop being useful to Trump he starts looking for places in your back to stick knives.

Tesla should seek to oust Elon from the company.

They can’t. The only thing propping up the ludicrous stock price is the myth of “Elon Musk, Super genius” and the legions of Musk fanboys. If they kick Musk out they lose both and the stock will tank. So they’ve got to keep him in place, even as he runs the company into the ground.

Link works for me maybe they fixed it?

If you want to search for it yourself it’s “Live-attenuated virus vaccine defective in RNAi suppression induces rapid protection in neonatal and adult mice lacking mature B and T cells” by Gang Chen, Qingxia Han, Wan-Xiang Li, and Shou-Wei Ding
