Mod parent +1, Funny!

This is unclear to me from TFA: Did they specifically prompt it with any directives about preferring self-preservation?

Or is the self-preservation drive (i.e. resisting shutdown) just an ordinary feature baked in / emergent in the model after training on tons of text?

That was 3 pages of scrolling, /. Make 'em shorter, please.

I'm no behaviorist, but when I'm most engaged in a video is when I'm least likely to tolerate an ad. This will cause me to
a) hate the product
b) mash the skip button.

Case in point: Liberty Mutual

In the report: "Commenters cited several examples of AI tools trained on licensed or public domain content, such as Adobe’s Firefly (an image generator), Boomy (a music generator), Getty Images’ AI image generator, and Stability AI’s Stable Audio (a music generator)."

Often only the infringers get mentioned.

I know they say higher rate limits, I but can't help worrying if this will be like Google did with Colab Pro, where you have to pay more to keep the capabilities you were using, and they nerf the pay tier you were using?

> “Time and again, research shows that algorithmic systems for ‘predicting’ crime are inherently flawed."

Sure, which is why we can use this to justify the need for MORE surveillance, more data logging, more facial recognition, etc -- to improve the data and refine the algorithm! /s

Does /. have a subscription plan that provides Mullenwang-free browsing? I'm just sick of it.

Strong agree. There are websites and repositories where independent *human* artists upload similar-sounding tracks with metadata like "In the style of ______". AudioSparx is one of them. You can license data from there, but it doesn't mean that the original (imitated) artist got compensated.

Used to be a passable way to meet new people and connect in a variety of communities.
Then they massively raised the prices for organizers, so most quit using it.
Then a few months ago they started charging memberships for features that used to be free.
All while making no improvements to the platform.

Now it's mostly just online new age self-help and real estate investing sales, with the occasional sports groups. Sad. And especially sad that a viable alternative hasn't really arisen yet. Perhaps a ./ reader will be the one to build it!

Meta has the weight to throw around, to incentivize other companies to walk back their recent return-to-work policies by promoting a "Metaverse office" paradigm.

I'm not saying it's a good idea. I'm just saying that maybe Meta could push such a program to help save their Metaverse.

> "Memory safety errors account for 76% of Android vulnerabilities in 2019."

This statement seems out of place. Aren't the overwhelming majority of Android apps written in Java or Kotlin (which is based on Java)?
Or at least, wouldn't that have been the case 5 years ago (in 2019)?

So how's a C converter going to help with that?

That's not even enough to buy a new (Apple-TM) dongle!

No wonder Apple's the #1 market cap company in the world.
