sculd,

It is very important for us to “NOT” support any films, shows, games, and whatever form of art and entertainment that tries to use AI to replace human creators.

Greed is going to tear apart every part of society unless we stop it.

Google Books downloader? (kopnij.in) en

I used to be able to download the available pages from books on Google Books with pysheng(3) and/or getxbook, but neither of them seem to work any more. On Firefox I can go into “More Information>Media Info” and download page images one by one, but this is slow and cumbersome. Any recommendations for a replacement?

sculd,

uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:

🤔 🤔 🤔

sculd,

The “selling out” was done under Altman though, no?

sculd,

MS are the ones trying to reinstate Altman after all.

sculd,

I got you. Nowadays I would look at the UI of a game first before jumping in. If it looks too complicated I just pass. My job is already complicated enough, I don’t need to make myself more stressed when I just want to have fun.

sculd,

Yes, when I learnt about Altman’s eye-ball scanning project I realized this guy cannot be trusted.

sculd,

They certainly look more fun.

sculd,

Well the idea to ask for him to return came from MS and not from the board themselves. At least that plan failed according to media report.

sculd,

LLM’s ability to replace jobs is honestly more terrifying than so called AGI.

At least with AGI, if they really can think like human, is that they may actually think about the implications of their actions…

sculd,

You do realize that a lot of people are already being displaced by AI right? These are not “unskilled” jobs either. For e.g. the illustrators who used to get jobs probably spent thousands of hours to get to that level

AI is already taking video game illustrators’ jobs in China

Lol The finally realized that Altman brings more bad press because of his association with crypto and his weird views on things.

I doubt the successor can be a good person but hopefully a less creepy one.

Silicon Valley’s ideology is this: Libertarianism for me. Feudalism for thee.

sculd,

Libertarianism is one of the worst ideology I have ever seen.

It claims to be for freedom but whenever someone tries to implement it, it turns to be extremely oppressive.

"Oxygen Not Included" on sale on Steam this weekend (store.steampowered.com) en

*Oxygen Not Included* is on sale this weekend. If (like me) you happen to have wanted to play it for a long time, but were worried you lack the patience/stamina and give up after a couple of hours, the price is now at a level where buyer’s regret is rather unlikely.

sculd,

That is important, thank you!

sculd,

Seriously why is Bluesky not open for everyone? Do they have issues with scaling?

sculd,

Inscryption?

sculd,

I posted this in another technology fediverse but think it is relevant here also:

Ars Technica covered this much better

Basically, the company providing the service is shady and should not be trusted.

sculd,

It is an “interesting idea” in the sense that it would force people to use other things, such as precious metal, as store of value.

If any national economy tries this? Watch capital flight before the regime collapse by riot, coup, assassination, or all of them.

sculd,

It can’t, which is why no country will use this system.

There are plenty of ways in which we can combat unnecessary accumulation of wealth (cough, tax, cough). A depreciating currency is not one of them.

Even communism might be easier to administer than this suggested monstrous system.

sculd,

A rare good news from YouTube

Took a look into their subreddit. Seems users are not happy.

Strange decision to not reserve users names from new domain for long term paying users. Maybe they think this will attract new users to pay for good user names?

sculd,

This is what happens when they automate everything. Its basically impossible to find someone in Google to talk to even if you spot an issue with their products.

sculd,

Completely agreed. If anything this kind of accusation pushes people to the right as they got defensive.

Every significant organisation, government, big company probably had done something terrible at some point. The world is not black and white. Internet activism is “not helpful”.

If people want to help the refugees, donate to organisations helping them. Or even better, volunteer to help them. Stop doing “purity tests” in the online world.

sculd,

The first few paragraphs of the blog post explained the problem pretty well - lack of access to professional mental health care.

The other parts of the article…especially bringing in techno optimism, feels unnecessary.

Do we see young people using tiktok to self diagonise other kinds of medical issues? At least not at the scale of mental health. And that is likely because they have much better access to professional help.

As society, we really really need to put more resources into mental health. It was an overlooked issue for centuries.

sculd,

Congrats!!

sculd,

Completely agreed… I understand people are more relaxed after having a drink but I don’t really drink much anymore.

sculd,

More spam messages then, ok…

sculd,

A few possible answers:

  1. Signal is not big enough for spammers to spend resources on
  2. People who bothered to use Signal are likely to be more privacy minded and therefore less likely to fall for scam
sculd,

I am not sure if this is a good idea…

sculd,

Sounds like a nightmare…

sculd,

I hope it works out for them because the current Kotaku is just depressing

Wikipedia Admin Unmasks As Alt Account Of Admin Who Was Extremely Banned In 2015 To The Great Bewilderment Of Everyone (en.wikipedia.org) en

sculd,

Ah…the good old wikipedia drama. I remember some said wikipedia is playing an MMO, and I completely agree.

I used to do translations for pages until I realize there is so much drama going on.

sculd,

Oh I agree with you.

I will give some more info on what I saw at wikipedia, which arguable is common knowledge.

After I translated pages, I noticed people coming in to make small edits. I don’t mind those, but is baffled that people seem to be making meaningless changes all the time. Not to mention I am pretty sure I am more knowledgeable on said subjects than those “editors”.

I later realized that the number of edits and the number of edited pages count towards some arbitrary numbers which people can use to claim and move up the ladder of admin rights. It all made sense on why there are so many minimal edits performed by individuals. They are looking for low hanging fruit.

It soured my feelings toward wikipedia. I thought of it as a good volunteer project. Turns out some people play it as a numbers game. And they have enormous influence on the site.

Those people than use their power to suppress whatever they don’t like to see on wikipedia, similar to what OP posted.

By the way, to understand how absurd wikipedia’s system is, please take a look at the following news:

Why Emily St John Mandel asked for help getting divorced on Wikipedia

www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64033028

sculd,

That was more than 10 years ago. Maybe the changes are indeed meaningful and maybe I was too young at that time. And I honestly don’t mind people making changes.

What made me quit was accidentally reading about wikipedia dramas and realized I was participating in a giant MMO in text. It was not a good feeling.

I do volunteer work to feel good. (Yes, really.) I still sometimes do volunteer work. Just not on wiki.

sculd,

This is a very convincing argument.

I guess this shows the difference between projects run by hired staff and a volunteer project who had to guard against bad actors.

Since I have only worked on one side it is easy to miss out on the reason those safeguards exist.

And btw I am publishing as primary source as well ! Maybe that is more suitable for me!

sculd,

People will fall in love with AI because AI does not reject human. That doesn’t mean AI will love them back or even understand what love means.

sculd,

This will not end well. YouTube is very difficult to replace while Facebook has plenty of competitors.

sculd,

No, because:

  1. Content creators want to monetize their videos, even if it is shit monetization.
  2. Users and content creators want discoverability.
sculd,

That would be like saying Patreon is monetizing video.

No. I mean ad-supported income that automatically comes with YouTube. Not to mention members subscription and Superchats which are also built in functions and represent significant part of content creators’ income.

sculd,

Thank you for taking the hit so we dont have to

sculd,

Please destroy these unethical app! They can be used for so many bad applications: scams, misinformation, identity theft…
