Hey all I just came across an emergency situation irl that I felt useless in because of how slowly I was thinking. Basically it was someone getting an epileptic seizure and I had the info in my head for what to do but I did end up freezing a bit before I did anything. Really didn’t like it. The person is fine now but if I had...
Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.
Networking noob here. I want to prevent all incoming requests except through a specific port, and that traffic is forwarded to a specific device on the network. NAT seems to do that just fine, it’s almost like a kind of firewall by itself. What kind of threats are there that requires more than just NAT for security?
In case you didn’t know, you can’t train an AI on content generated by another AI because it causes distortion that reduces the quality of the output. It is also very difficult to filter out AI text from human text in a database. This phenomenon is known as AI collapse....
You wouldn’t need to make nonsense output. In fact, using output that is hard to distinguish from natural posts would be better as it would prevent poisoned posts from being spotted and removed.
Not exactly what I’m suggesting. Glitch tokens could just be filtered out when training AI which would render it useless. It needs to be hard to spot and look like a regular post, which can be accomplished by just having a LLM make comments.
Upvoted content is not higher quality. An AI trained only on the top posts of Reddit would be very funny though.
They could filter posts by time, but that prevents any further data from being used which still limits the value of Reddit to buyers. Even all of Reddit pre-AI is probably too small to be useful indefinitely.
Some have speculated that Nakamoto is an alias for Adam Beck, or one of the other founders. It is known that nakamoto was living in a European timezone.
This would only be the case if reincarnation is completely random, and it depends on what we consider an individual. You could arbitrarily define a human as just a cluster of cells, does that mean you could reincarnate as a single human cell?
OK, but there are some organisms that can live either as single cells or in colonies, like algae. How do you categorize them? Plus there are some colonial animals like Portuguese man o war that are composed of hundreds of separate individuals connected to each other, or ant colonies which work as a collective superorganism. And even in humans there are some cells that do not stay attached, like sperm cells. Could you reincarnate as a sperm cell?
I’m done, I’ve been banned for expressing a different opinion (without insulting or personally attacking anyone), I’ve been accused of evading a ban with multiple accounts (this is my only account I’ve ever had on any lemmy instance), I’ve had people selectively ignore my comments and accuse me of things which I never...
I have noticed that some CAPTCHA pages, like Cloudflare’s, simply ask you to check a box to proceed. There is no clicking on traffic lights or entering characters. How does clicking on a check box tell them I am not a robot?
If we are in a simulation, then there is a possibility that our creators are in a simulation as well. But no matter how far up the chain you go, eventually someone has to be real. So even if we are in a simulation, the information that represents us is still very real, in the sense that it is being stored within a real universe.
The fact that we are sentient and capable of experiencing, rather than simply being an organic automaton, suggests that there is more to the universe than what physics can currently explain. We don’t really know what sentience is or if it even exists, but the answer might shed light on whether we are in a simulation.
Imagine you made a giant Conway’s Game of Life and it ended up evolving into a society like ours. The people in the simulation have thoughts and emotions not unlike your own. You aren’t sure if they are sentient, but you can’t be sure about anyone else in the real world anyway. You might as well consider the stimulated people to be as real as you are.
Needed something for a game I’m working on, so generated some placeholder content. Dunno why it gave me a fish and the parrot people are not intentional but I enjoyed seeing them pop-up.
I hate when piracy groups watermark their pirated material (apps,movies,...etc) and I avoid them whenever I can.

If we can ban trans medical procedures, why haven't we banned circumcision?
Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.
Can someone explain to me why NAT is not enough for security?

Could Reddit's data be "poisoned" to prevent its use in training AI?

The greatest insult of our time is to accuse someone of being an AI chatbot.
The number of times I’ve seen this accusation in the last year is astounding.
