  • Hmm thanks, also please massively digress if you would like to.

    I interpreted it like 10% is a lot if it’s 10% of a million. That 100,000. So if there’s a million things that crash Firefox that’s a high number.

    If Firefox only crashes 10 times a year because it runs that well, 10% or that 1 time it crashes from a bitflip is impressive that the rare bitflip takes up such a high percentage of total crashes because Firefox just doesn’t crash very often.

    If your dread is found to be justified that won’t be too surprising, to me, if hardware is getting made less reliable these days thing. Enshitification being the norm, and tech being in everything nowadays

    We obviously need more context from Mozilla, but this could be a canary in the mine type situation.

    But it would be kind of neat if Firefox became something of a reliable test for bitflipping unintentionally





  • From a sex workers standpoint how fucked up is it to be told YOUR adult body is so obscene no one should ever desire to see it.

    If all the pedos want to congregate I believe it just makes it easier to track those fuckers, otherwise I feel that particular space is uncomfortable and just avoid it but I think it’s incredibly fucked up to tell any adult they aren’t a sexual creature like everyone else and that they should be ashamed.

    I do hope it is monitored closely though, slippery slope as it is


  • Kindly I disagree. It was very helpful to find stuff that wasn’t what I already knew I wanted especially as I came from Reddit as one of the earlier refugees after the API thing.

    Given how small and in development Lemmy has been, it was a good thing to keep showing me that I made a good choice and that this federated thing ISNT Reddit and has its own value to give if I can just get a little bit of help find finding stuff.

    Now it’s been sometime but I think on by default is still a good thing. I’m also okay with making it super super easy to turn off and be reminded/prompted to do that as well.

    If it’s no longer a needed thing I might be convinced that the on by default state has passed the value I found in it, but I am not ready put the effort into that at this time.



  • I’m not saying it wasnt trained on csam or defending any AI.

    But your point isn’t correct

    What prompts you use and how you request changes can get same results. Clever prompts already circumvent many hard wired protections. It’s a game of whackamole and every new iteration of an AI will require different methods needed bypass those protections.

    If you can ask it the right ways it will do whatever a prompt tells it to do

    !You can’t tell it to make a nude image of a child, I assume, but you can tell it make the subject in the image of the last prompt 60% smaller and adjust it as necessary to make it believable.!< That probably shouldnt work but I don’t put anything passed these assholes.

    It doesn’t take actual images/data trained if you can just tell it how to get the results you want it to by using different language that it hasn’t been told not to accept.

    The AI doesn’t know what it is doing, it’s simply running points through its system and outputting the results.






  • It’s only too high if they demand exclusivity.

    And they don’t.

    They are providing PLENTY of value to anyone who is listing their games there.

    Would I like to see them do more now for small and independent outfits? I would! but 30% isn’t that much comparatively to the old days of buying physically distributed things in a brick and mortar store.

    I remember buying final fantasy 2 (4) on snes and it cost 95$ US this was 1988 or 1989

    Which was about 129 CAD (the exchange rate is between usd then and now is about the same conveniently for this tidbit)

    Today after years of inflation it would cost about 250-260 USD or 340-355 CAD

    I don’t fucking miss those days at all. And while there are multiple factors here in play, this is entirely fair to charge silksong 6 dollars ish per sale on a 20 dollar sale whilst the failing AAA games 30 dollars on a 90 dollar sale. There is a cost involved and it is because of steam, specifically steam, that made digital distribution what it is today. And by that I mean they have set the standard for what is a healthy location to sell your digital goods.

    And to give an example of what garbage (yes you Tim Sweeney you giant whiny fecal faced fuck) digital distribution for games would look like if steam didnt actually do a great job, look at books.

    Buying books on through amazon you pay more for them then you used to for a physical copy of the book itself.







  • Oh you feed them you feed them the off menu special.

    That actually reminds me of a story.

    So in 2002 I worked at a place where the old owner still owned the property and he would come by to collect his rent cheques. German fellow, old guy.

    He told a story once about growing up in Nazi Germany, he was very young at the time but old enough to remember it things.

    In the town he grew up in, it was a small town, turns out one day the local butcher and his wife had the SS show up and take them off to be executed.

    What they found it was Gestapo officers kept going missing in the area and everyone thought that they were taken to be questioned. No no it turned out that the old couple, who’s children had long left the town and had lived elsewhere, were snatching Gestapo officers and then butchering them and selling them by turning them into sausages.

    He said the sausages tasted completely normal and everyone was quite surprised how good the sausages were given the fact they they were all eating human sausage
