• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In this modern world of AI, with devices everywhere having microphones, is it even safe to satirically joke and banter with a friend anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes it is.

  If it’s not, that has to do with you becoming an explicit target of 3-lettter agencies beforehand. Look, it’s legally risky and expensive to collect data from people, evaluate it and draw conclusions. You can become a big enough target for those agencies to reason that it’s worth it, but you gotta work really hard to get there.

  In fact, the most likely thing for any given random person is either getting caught up in phishing attacks or getting chased by a PI at the mercy of family or a former partner that is holding grudges.

  What I’m saying is yes, there’s a tiny chance that it’s not safe but if it really was dangerous for you to speak, you would probably already know.

  Famously at Edward Snowden’s first interview the NSA was tapping him and he was chased around right up until they lost jurisdiction and so every TSA checkpoint became dangerous for him. But everyone who thinks they are just as endangered as Edward Snowden is most likely just paranoid.

  Yeah from my intuition it sounds like this file serves as a makeshift firewall / proxy. Allowing software to override it kinda makes this weak and basically useless for a lot of purposes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe modifies hosts file to detect whether Creative Cloud is installed⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbf it’s already write for admins only. But, if you completely remove write access that makes the file itself obsolete (there’s no use in a file that no one can edit) and if you restrict it to trusted installer / verified software, that’s not gonna eliminate Adobe.

  I wish your opinion was shared more.

  I do music production. I’ve seen what AI can do, and for making a simple master of one my demos AI is great. But everyone who has been there knows that the fun of making music comes from uniqueness. AI can’t do that, it can only riff on things known in its dataset.

  I’m not worried at all, because this means the boring commercial music becomes less impressive, and unique and elaborate music becomes even more valuable. I’m cool with that; nothing of value is lost.

  I get why people are freaked out, but most of the tangible issues come from greedy managers with a pinch of dunning-kruger, trying to replace workers. And that’s got almost nothing to do with AI and everything to do with assholes. There will be consequences, but people have to stick out this short-term chaos. And that’s the only thing I have empathy for in this.

  Well that and unlicensed training because governments can’t get their shit together to enforce ethical guidelines for AI training & data collection practices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “not nice” is doing some competition level heavy lifting. Getting barely enough food, just that little bit of hygiene, all your things in one bag, surrounded by helpless or crazy people and desperation so great you are constantly paranoid you might get abused or robbed. All of the safety and security you want a home for is hardly available in a homeless shelter.

  It’s like saying being in prison is also living. Sure, on a technicality. But in real life no one would agree - prison makes people age faster for all the wrong reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I were to go out steal 34 cars. And charged with 34 felonies. One per each car. Could I not use the presidents case in defense of my own? Why or why not?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you mean the case where he raised presidential immunity against seditious conspiracy charges?

  The reason he was granted this is because in his capacity of president, basically the courts are supposed to cut him some slack if he does some accidental criming; you see, if the president does it, it’s usually necessary to perform his duties and if you stop him you are preventing him from getting any work done. That’s basically what the supreme Court ruled. It’s a bit like when cops raise qualified immunity. It’s supposed to insulate them from personal grievances so they are able perform their duties. Only that the presidential immunity is way worse for us, because a cop can raise it and then prosecution has the burden to prove there was a rule and the cop knew it. But in this case it’s worse because the president just has to say it was in his presidential capacity and that’s it iirc.

  So back to your question: can you do so too? No. You are not a president, you don’t have presidential immunity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is AI so bad at coming up with dialogue?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bunch of reasons, few people have pointed out in other comments already, including:

  • text =/= dialogue
  • LLMs train on the average guy, not good actors or only well done plays
  • AI models are statistical approximations of patterns that emulate behavior of the real world. It’s gonna take shortcuts wherever it can
  • maybe there’s specific tricks for positive or systems prompts that will improve quality in your case / on you model
  • the model you are using could be bad for the task
  • some of the points you are making strike me as personal preference; they could just as well apply to non-AI written series

  Those are some things that play into why it feels like it’s awful at it. Some of it perception, some of it is true.

  “Looking Glass does not support audio routing. The preferred solution is to pass through QEMU’s audio to your host’s audio system.”

  That eliminates Ableton ofc (because that pushes you out of the vm for audio and then you have to deal with additional jank and you’re back to dealing with your Linux distro for better or for worse.

  Premiere pro that could work though of course for audio you’re also back to square one.

  Man if they figure out stable alternatives to Premiere Pro and Ableton I’m on board, but for now all of that is not easy to do and the setup can be extremely janky.

  I’m talking actually usable, not “it runs”.

  Adding to that, drivers are basically a non-issue in 99% of the cases by now. Linux has really outdone themselves on that.

  Case and point, I plugged in an audio interface into Linux after installing a DAW and pipewire and it just worked out of the box.

  • sensible AI regulation regarding specifically defamation and identity theft
  • more competition in various industries
  • maybe some kind of resolve in the Ukraine war?
