Remember they’re doing this so that they can detect it themselves. I’m far from an expert, so maybe I’m misunderstanding something but the way I understand it, they’d be defeating their own tool if they go down this route. If they cycle the logit biases, how can they themselves detect if a random piece of text is generated? Which set of biases do they test?

At the end of the day, you’re talking about raw text. There’s no option to sign it, or embed metadata or anything like that. You can’t even guarantee that you’re seeing the complete sample, or even a single sample! If there is a fingerprint, it’ll be detectable to anyone, and it’ll be easily removed.

Ye, it’ll stop the casual abuse for all of 5 minutes. There are already tools to obscure the use of AI and, as you say, it won’t take much to update them.

It completely passed me by. This is literally the first I’m hearing of it

2 were self employed, running their own businesses, one was fucking fishing, and one “cuts fabric” part time.

Show me a corporate desk slave that a) lives that long, b) works that long and c) doesn’t resent their entire existence, and I might buy into this obvious fucking farcical corporate propaganda piece.

Fuck you, eat the rich.

(Not you, Op, the author)

someone tried to sell me a fucking AI fridge the other day. Why the fuck would I want my fridge to “learn my habits?” I don’t even like my phone “learning my habits!”

Have they said that or are you just implying that? It’s beta right now but I’d put money on them following in Google’s footsteps and integrating right into the main search.

It’s enshitification because instead of simply fixing their crappy SEO laden results, they’re pushing this new thing.

I’m also willing to bet that once it’s out of beta there will be either a limit on free searches or it’ll just be straight up subscription model.

And just like that, normal search is dead, and the only viable option is to pay for their new thing

Aaaaand the DDG enshitification begins… continues? continues.

“VR in the 80s” is my go to analogy. Sooo many promises, such tantalizing potential… and zero follow through

Are you kidding me!? I gave up on a playthrough on Monday because I couldn’t beat the Nihilanth. There’s a bug that CTDs during his final phase! I might give this a crack

My idea is essentially to match the official stand that ships with it, but flip it and put a stand on the “bottom.” I think it’ll be really nice aesthetically but unfortunately it seems like it’s not as simple as just mirroring it. To tell the truth, I’m probably going to end up going this route anyway, but I feel like I have to at least try the hard way first

Thanks, that gives me something to go on! I realise I’m probably taking the hard road but, eh. Worst case scenario is a little wasted time and filament. No one ever learnt doing it the easy way anyway. If I get anywhere I’ll report back

I take your point, and agree when it comes to Google

But here’s rabbit hole for anyone interested. That brand name being synonymous with the product thing is actually fairly regional.

We just call them tissues here. I think you can get Kleenex brand here, but I don’t think anybody cares about the brand of tissue. There’s a particular kind that has some kind of aloe Vera extract which is all I’ll use if I’m sick, but I don’t even know what brand they are.

On the flip side, we call marker pens Biros, and where I grew up we called them Khokis

so I’ve just giving it a quick test vs google with the query “open source chromecast alternative”

the first result for both is a reddit post about NymphCast

it’s the rest of the results that are interesting though.

Google has a ycombinator news article about NymphCast and then decends into the usual “17 best chromecast alternatives in 2024” rubbish

Kagi on the other hand lists the github for NymphCast, and then goes on to list others… mirrorCast, pyCaster, free Cast, an article on using a raspberry pi as a chromecast alternative.

obviously this is only anecdotal, and very unscientific, but it’s got me interested for sure! Gonna bookmark it and see how it goes

it’s on the chromecast remote as well now. Is there an open source chromecast alternative?

I have a kobo Clara, and I love it for the most part. I just really wish they’d release a USB C version. It’s literally the last of my devices still using micro

interior crocodile alligator, I drive a Chevrolet movie the-atre

Imagine watchibg let alone even having the option for shorts.

I like shorts for the most part

Report for what?

Misinformation and hatespeech mostly. They have some crazy, false pseudoscience to back their “opinions” and they express them violently. Like it or not, these videos “promote hatred against a protected group” and are expressly against youtube TOS. Reporting them is 100% appropriate.

So that looks like main long form content. I’m specifically talking about youtube shorts which is Google’s version of TikTok

Youtube Shorts is the absolute worst for this. Just recently it’s massively trying to push transphobic BS at me, and I cannot figure out why. I dislike, report and “do not recommend this channel” every time, and it just keeps shoving more at me. I got a fucking racist church sermon this morning. it’s broken!
