if you want to find a few articles out of a few hundred that are about the benefits of nuclear weapons or other controversial topics that have significant literature on them it can be helpful to eliminate 90% that probably aren’t what I’m looking for.
it can, in the same way a loom did, just for more language-y tasks, a multimodal system might be better at answering that type of question by first detecting that this is a question of fact and that using a bucket sort algorithm on the word “strawberry” will answer the question better than it’s questionably obtained correlations.
it would be like complaining that a water balloon isn’t useful because it isn’t accurate. LLMs are good at approximating language, numbers are too specific and have more objective answers.
hogan’s heroes (no I don’t follow controversy that happened decades ago)
what if there became a Nazi ran Mastodon or pixelfed or Lemmy instance?
global warming (trump has more important minorities to attack)
the programmers should at least use licenses that prevent legal use by the police and government agencies.
archive.org link to the “the tech” opinion piece that was redacted.
Instagram has a shit algorithm, yt shorts are generally just worse forms of yt or reposts from ticktok/insta. People are willing to tolerate a lot of data selling already, so why should they care that it’s being shared with the CCP?
I love the idea, it covers most instances of extreme customization in Linux.
if the (US and many others) governments weren’t run by fascists I might agree, but I know that politics change and facist, homophobic, racists are always going to have a chance to be elected in a democratic (republic) system.
the main problem I have with the government doing this is that they would be the ones to define who the minoritys are. If I remember correctly the US consider veterans to be a protected class, what if a government decided to extend minority status to those that themselves (as part of their “culture”) codified intolerance to existing protected minorities (such as certain religions with respect to homosexuality)?
the law shouldn’t dictate this because that would require rigid definitions of misinformation and minorities. are Nazis minorities? What about Israelis? Or Palestinians?
is spreading a rumor misinformation? What if it is later found out to be true?
how would you ban any internet service without firewalls or routing? DNS bans are trivial to bypass and maybe I’m not thinking hard enough but I’m out of practical ways to prevent access to Twitter or meta.
Ukraine and other countries where fixed infrastructure is failing iirc benefit from having low cost Internet access.
usernames are the only form of attribution that makes sense and has ever been used (aside from email, which is again practically a username)
probably was the internal id number, but still scummy behaviour.
some idiots think personal freedom is overrated and like to imagine the web browser as a mysterious black box that “just works”.
god bless American auto regulations for allowing unique vehicles on the road (and the ability to sue for damages when the idiot driver hits you)
