  • On a very basic level if you look at the data centres and the absolute power of compute that has come online the last two years alone, that is genuinely something to worry about because we live in a very digital world and that kind of power could certainly disrupt that.

    But at the core of all of this we must never forget lies incredibly imperfect and inefficient technology of generative large language models. The exact concept of which is effectively gambling enormous amount of energy that the next word will make sense to a human reader.

    And now we have allowed that gambling and guessing process access to bash terminals. Sometimes we’ve we’ve not properly sandboxed it sometime we have given it root access. So a lot of things can go wrong but the one thing we can never assume is that what is going on is a conscious evil or deceitful energy or entity out to try and sabotage humanity, because can’t have any feelings or any intention.

    It is a one IQ hyper masculine soldier sitting behind a 50 cal and shooting random directions hoping to hit something. That’s what we should be afraid of.


  • Imagine there’s audio graphic evidence that you did very crazy shit with young girls repeatedly, after years of running against made up pizza gate and all that.

    The guy is in a tough spot, the Russians could release it if he makes a wrong move on the war Ukraine, which he will stop on day one, the Israeli could release it if he dare sign another ceasefire agreement, an Obama mole inside his own DOJ could leak it if he’s not careful.

    My point being: the only we in this is that some large minority helped Elon Musk’s election fraud to install this one guy. There is very little we in this. The moment he dies will be like a cork is removed from a massive force for good.



  • Ok, I’m hopping off here, but

    Manik Berry

    With a Master’s degree in journalism, Manik writes about big tech and has a keen eye for political-tech news. In his free time, he’s browsing the Kindle store for new stuff read. Manik also adores his motorcycle and is looking for new routes on weekends. He likes tea and cat memes. You can reach him at manik.berry@fossbytes.com

    This journalist tells you apple stores health data. Aside from that being very vague (your DOB could possibly be considered a “health data”), he provides no evidence or sources at all, like any decent internet journalist trying to grift of a blog to survive.

    The internet will always tell you you’re right, the question is: why would they and how could they benefit from that, when they stand so much to benefit from not doing it, let alone save themselves the hassle of dealing with that data.

    Anyway, another day on the internet arguing between two people who absolutely won’t see the other’s viewpoint. What it is to be human.






  • This is the correct comment. But the one with the assumption is voted higher. Lemmy loving vibes more than facts, day 1,436.

    Yes, the audio is never stored, the summaries can be completely turned off, and yes, Apple again is caught inside its own bubble being ever more disconnected from the outside silicon valley life. They should not have touted this so strongly and loudly.

    People will these devices are being kidnapped daily and forced to open their devices. Even without the audio some of these transcripts can be used as evidence against them or their families, violating their 5th amendment rights.


  • I think we’re getting hung up on the chef thing. The point is, you’ve eaten. You can eat well by cooking it yourself or by going to a good restaurant with an amazing chef.

    Conversely if you eat microwaved meals all week, or live off drive through food, your food was technically made by a chef, but you may not live past 50.

    LLMs in society are a very complex thing. The core technology isn’t evil. The capitalist-overdrive approach is mental. And the unregulated way it is introduced into society is irresponsible.

    Once you understand that this is a probabilistic tool that with some tinkering can run locally, and should not be trusted as a deterministic tool for research, fact finding or calculations, you have a tool you can use for something in addition to several other tools.
