I find it wild that, to this day, Windows defaults to opening them in a browser. Windows has an image viewer right there.
Can that image viewer extract text so that a user could easily copy/paste it? I think if whatever pdf I was opening didn’t allow me to do that I would be really frustrated.
Remember the people who created malicious libraries that ChatGPT made up and suggested, in the hopes someone would blindly install them? You can do this a lot easier here. Check what websites this tends to hallucinate when typing “google” “youtube” “facebook” etc. and if any of them don’t exist yet, register that address and host a phishing version of the corresponding site there.
Same. I had PayPal do an automated charge back because their system thought I was doing something fraudulent when I wasn’t. Steam blocked my account.
Talking to support and re-buying said game did fix the issue for me.
Somehow Roblox has become the Metaverse Meta was trying to build…
I’m leaving my review as is. Sony trying this and saying in their tweet that they’re “still learning what’s best for PC players” does not instill me with enough confidence to give it a thumbs up.
As you mentioned, it’s a lot easier to lose trust than to (re)earn it.
There are quite a few other roguelike (or roguelike adjacient) games that do beat it handily. To give a few examples:
DF started development in October 2002 (according to their own website, scroll all the way down.)
UnReal World’s first release was in 1992 and is also still getting regular updates.
NetHack has gotten new versions ever since 1987. The latest big change was 3.6.0 in 2015, 3.6.7 came out in early 2023 but there’s no reason to believe there won’t be a next version. If we count that in 1987 it started as a fork of Hack, we could even add another 3 years in the front as Hack was published in 1984.
Edit: I just realized: In the world of MMORPGs we also have a few examples: Everquest which came out in 2000 and is still getting expansions. Even WoW isn’t too far behind with a 2004 release date, which probably means development began before DF’s development too.
That was a response I got from ChatGPT with the following prompt:
Please write a one sentence answer someone would write on a forum in a response to the following two posts:
post 1: “You sure? If it’s another bot at the other end, yeah, but a real person, you recognize ChatGPT in 2 sentences.”
post 2: “I was going to disagree with you by using AI to generate my response, but the generated response was easily recognizable as non-human. You may be onto something lol”
It’s does indeed have an AI vibe, but I’ve seen scammers fall for more obvious pranks than this one, so I think it’d be good enough. I hope it fooled at least a minority of people for a second or made them do a double take.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that too—there’s a distinct ‘AI vibe’ that comes through in the generated responses, even if it’s subtle.
It’s not as accurate as you’d like it to be. Some issues are:
Also it’s not all that novel. People have been doing this with (variational) autoencoders (another class of generative model). This also doesn’t have the flaw that you have no easy way to compress new images since an autoencoder is a trained encoder/decoder pair. It’s also quite a bit faster than diffusion models when it comes to decoding, but often with a greater decrease in quality.
Most widespread diffusion models even use an autoencoder adjacent architecture to “compress” the input. The actual diffusion model then works in that “compressed data space” called latent space. The generated images are then decompressed before shown to users. Last time I checked, iirc, that compression rate was at around 1/4 to 1/8, but it’s been a while, so don’t quote me on this number.
edit: fixed some ambiguous wordings.
If someone wants to read one of those papers, I can recommend Extracting Training Data from Diffusion Models. It shouldn’t be too hard for someone with little experience in the field to be able to follow along.
Understanding the math behind it doesn’t immediately mean understanding the decision progress during forward propagation. Of course you can mathematically follow it, but you’re quickly gonna lose the overview with that many weights. There’s a reason XAI is an entire subfield in Machine Learning.
I think it’s much more likely whatever scraping they used to get the training data snatched a screenshot of the movie some random internet user posted somewhere. (To confirm, I typed “joaquin phoenix joker” into Google and this very image was very high up in the image results) And of course not only this one but many many more too.
Now I’m not saying scraping copyrighted material is morally right either, but I’d doubt they’d just feed an entire movie frame by frame (or randomly spaced screenshots from throughout a movie), especially because it would make generating good labels for each frame very difficult.
I haven’t personally used it but from what I can find: if you’re using torrents with Stremio (e.g. the ones found with torrentio) you are totally uploading parts of what you’re watching to others.
Even real Pokémon has things like humans marrying Pokémon in its lore. Not at all a surprise that the “Edgy Pokémon” would push the boundary a little further.
Or “watch”. That way they don’t have to make it obvious that their customers won’t own it but still don’t straight up lie.
Scarlet and Violet sold 10 million copies during the launch weekend, so I think they’ll be pretty content to keep churning out mediocre games at a much faster pace.
In everything but aesthetics, it’s the most similar to Ark I’d say.
It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but I’ve had plenty of fun with it so far.
no where near Reddit yet on niche subjects
I’m always saddened by how not-active some of those subjects are. For example: Even many large games struggle to have dedicated, active communities on Lemmy (assuming I’m not terrible at finding them, which is sadly also possible). Even some of the largest games have only completely dead communities here. A huge draw of Reddit for me was to be able to talk about the games I play with other people who do too. And mostly, the games I’d love to talk about aren’t in the top 10 most played games list.
Now I could try to (re)vitalize those communities I would love to see around, and I have done so shortly after the exodus (on my previous account that died with the instance it was on). However, there’s only so much talking into the void I can do until it gets boring.
I also feel like that might be a big issue for people coming over. After I manage to explain to my friends how federation works, they ask me to help them find the [topic of their interest] community, and all I can show them is a community with 10 threads, all over 3 months old and with 0 comments. Sadly it shouldn’t surprise anyone they’re not sticking around after that.
I was curious too and checked the article but skimming it, instead of a total, I found this:
A new analysis from MUSO, a U.K.-based anti-piracy analyst […]
With the study being done by a clearly biased person/group and that large omission, I think it’s fair to assume that the % of total web traffic going to pirates might not have gone up all that much, maybe it even went down.
Now I don’t know if they ever changed anything since launch. But if you judged the max speed by the first flying saddle you got you didn’t actually experience anything close to max speed. Pals that have their saddles unlocked at a higher level (usually) have a much higher speed when mounted.
