  • In Zelenskyy meeting, Trump jokes about starting a war to halt 2028 elections

  • There's an adage - the precise phrasing eludes me - that says you should listen to mad authoritarians' rants because they tell you what they're going to do.

  • I read it as refusing to carry out orders.

  • Meta appoints anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor

  • The anti-woke campaigner brought legal action against Meta – owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp – after the company’s artificial intelligence chatbot falsely stated he took part in the riot at the US Capitol on 6 January, 2021, seeking $5 million in damages.

    As part of the settlement, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, Starbuck will advise Meta on how to prevent political bias in its AI.

    What the actual...? I've never heard that someone gets hired as part of a settlement where both parties were opponents.

    edit: ah, I see what you mean by "social web" now. Sorry about that. Admittedly, I have to use Whatsapp for that precise reason.

    Ackshuly, isn't dystopia in the future? So, what is this then? Oh yeah, fascism.

    IIRC. Maybe I should re-watch it.

  • To skirt copyright law, Anthropic bought and destroyed millions of physical books to train its "Claude" LLM

    Jump

  • I can buy a book, scan it and put it on the internet and it wouldn’t be piracy?

    Yes, but only if you're a multi-billion AI company.

  • The title might be slightly hyperbolic, but still:

    The quality of training data fed into the neural network directly impacts the resulting AI model's capabilities. Models trained on well-edited books and articles tend to produce more coherent, accurate responses than those trained on lower-quality text like random YouTube comments.

    Anthropic initially chose the quick and easy path. In the quest for high-quality training data, the court filing states, Anthropic first chose to amass digitized versions of pirated books to avoid what CEO Dario Amodei called "legal/practice/business slog"—the complex licensing negotiations with publishers. But by 2024, Anthropic had become "not so gung ho about" using pirated ebooks "for legal reasons" and needed a safer source.

    Buying used physical books sidestepped licensing entirely while providing the high-quality, professionally edited text that AI models need, and destructive scanning was simply the fastest way to digitize millions of volumes. The company spent "many millions of dollars" on this buying and scanning operation, often purchasing used books in bulk. Next, they stripped books from bindings, cut pages to workable dimensions, scanned them as stacks of pages into PDFs with machine-readable text including covers, then discarded all the paper originals.

    oof.

  • Trump Kept Gold Club World Cup Trophy for Himself So FIFA Had to Give the Winners a Replica

  • Fuck FIFA, Fuck Trump. I see no loss here except one of braincells.

  • I stopped feeling this way about him sometime in 2017.

    BTW the English term would be "vicarious embarassment" which is way too long, but the Finnish word is "myötähäpeä" which is even nicer than Fremdscham. Fight me.

  • His voters identify with "Team MAGA" as they would with a sports team. They would never think about it the way you do, for them this is politics.

  • Musk’s latest Grok chatbot searches for billionaire mogul’s views before answering questions

    Jump

  • So "too big to fail" basically. I accept your argument, but I'm not convinced because he does that narcissistic shit with all his companies, so "the appreciation of the rest" is not there imo.

    Sure, SpaceX gets government money/contracts, but I doubt that alone is enough to compensate for his messy "visions".

  • So here's a thought.

    And let's leave aside the "too big to fail" trope for a while.

    This guy is insanely rich. Even if you discount for inflated stock prices, debt etc.

    How long can he abuse the very things making him rich as if they were his personal toys before it all collapses? Is there a tipping point?
