- Comment on X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out 1 day ago:
This post isn’t exclusively about deepfakes. It’s about editing someone else’s images. Making suggestive deepfakes is mentioned in the article as an example, but it’s not mentioned in the title or summary here.
That said, my points stand. Don’t post shit online if you don’t want it to be edited.
With the ease of photo manipulation, society has no choice but to adapt to nonsensical, simple edits. It can’t be stopped. There’s hundreds of apps and programs that do this now. Even adobe’s famous suite.
I know you hate Elon, I can hear it in your tone. But this isn’t an Elon thing. Look around.

You’ve totally changed the original post’s topic and made it into something obviously unacceptable. There’s a line to cross with content in general, AI or not, and any public ai model should absolutely have safety rails / content moderation on its output

Using grok this way is the same as a photo editor. It’s the human asking grok to do it that is the problem. Not grok or any other tool. Meta products have this exact same feature.
Grok will not post it publicly unless you click the button to do so. Again, it’s the person that is doing it, not grok.

Omg what horror. Have you discovered that you can click and drag any image from anywhere into photo editing software or ChatGPT or the likes? Whatever shall we do?! We have to make images ueditable somehow. This is a complete tragedy.
For real, who cares?
- Comment on Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Elon Musk 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, it needs a lot more thought put into it because with wildly fluctuating equity prices you run into scenarios where a run up on a security triggers you to have to sell a bunch and give it to the government but then if that security returns right back to the price it was the week before you’re just shit out of luck. Because of that it means people will go to great lengths to find ways to circumvent this because it’s not fair.
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea what I’m saying is that it needs refined and thought through a lot more

Like I said, the quote was related to my first paragraph asking the question about personal net worth.
I didn’t then quote the company part as I thought the flow continued logically. It seems I was wrong.
I’m aware of the cap he said, and that’s what I was asking an opinion on.
Thank you for contributing yours.
should probably be weighed against public interest and publicly-funded and managed, if they’re beneficial.
So large skyscrapers, large nuclear plants, datacenters, etc would be state owned.
If we did that, I’d argue to make the limit even smaller. It would encourage companies to stay small and that would help prevent monopolies perhaps.

I was referring to the company net worth that was mentioned.
The quote was related to my question.

cap personal netwoths at 10-20 million dollars
how would this work in your utopia? if the value of my investments goes over that, I have to sell them to give cash to the govt?
Seems difficult to raise capital that way. Would you put more large cap projects in the hands of a government? Things like power plants, large buildings, etc? No one could own or finance them since they are worth a lot.

Nah never do that. The curve brings trig complexity into the equation. Bananas are used to measure curvy things. Like wheels, roads, and boobs.

An independent contractor IS employed. They’re employed by themselves. Self-employed. So if you’re doing work for them, you are employed as an independent contractor doing work for them.
I think it’s pretty clear what they mean. Could have just said “you’ll be paid as a contractor and receive a 1099 (if USA) or 1042-A (non USA)” tho
- Comment on How Google’s DeepMind tool is ‘more quickly’ forecasting hurricane behavior 1 month ago:
Yet this post is about how it does work that way. There have always been pump and dumps.
Perhaps marketing and communications has advanced so much that everyone hears about everything and viral pump and dump stuff is far easier to spread.

Yeah that’s how capitalism works. Innovation driven by greed ultimately advances everyone.

That’s a very binary mechanism with little excuse for pulling. And there are typically cameras nowadays. No cameras in the bathroom.

Schools around the country will disable the keyword functionality very soon. It’s useless in such an environment. Kids can and will say “help 911” every time they leave the bathroom simply “for the lulz”. And there’s no video so they can’t be caught doing it unless you station someone right outside to catch them, rendering the feature useless. Malicious actors are the most difficult design requirement for any system.

Really, this is a simple program that could be written on any number of decentralized financial networks. No custodian of the money is required.
It’s a shame everyone rolls their eyes when you mention a programmable money solution tho. Crypto bros really fucked themselves there with all the grifting

Mhhmm yeah. If you don’t see both sides being equally ridiculous, there’s a good chance you’re blinded by bias for one of those teams.
Yeah, hot take for Lemmy. But absolutely true.

- Comment on Bitcoin mining is no longer profitable 8 months ago:
It’s no different. A new version of the consensus code needs written and deployed.
That page you linked is the same on all chains. All have a proposal, discussion, implementation, waiting period (for code to be deployed), and activation. That’s just blockchain 101
- Comment on Bitcoin mining is no longer profitable 8 months ago:
Texas would still require all nodes to upgrade to the code which contains the new algorithm. It can’t just automatically know what the new code is.
Its behavior is no different from other chains.
Bitcoin uses version bits to perform these types of upgrades (see bio 9 implemented in 2016)
Ethereum uses something similar. Solana’s activation mechanism is called “feature gate activation”.
