It’s kind-of funny. Nowadays, I find the AI search assistants (I used the one with Kagi) work better than search results with all of these shitty AI sites.

We’re back to the age of pre-StackOverflow, when Expert Sex Change was always plaguing my search results with fucking pay-to-view bullshit. Except it’s free-but-useless websites now.

Meh, it won’t be long before Reddit admins will crackdown on posts and start their usual censorship campaigns.

Who the fuck calls Instagram “IG”?

MAGA Is Proving How Little It Actually Cares About Gun Rights

Let’s be clear here…

It’s not easy, but it’s done all the time. New models, new LoRAs, and in some cases, the training data doesn’t even need to be very large for a specific task.

You don’t need the entire training dataset that the model was built from.

The good thing about open models is that you can train the biases and rules out of them. The weights are not concrete.

So much so that Republicans are at this stage already:

• That didn’t happen.
• And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
• And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
• And if it is, that’s not my fault.
• And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
• And if I did, you deserved it.

We’ll get to “that’s not my fault” sooner than you think.

Well, “laid off” and “fired” are two different things. It sounds like this is closer to being laid off.

But, regardless, nobody gets laid off for reporting sexual harassment.

Tell me you’re a corpo lackey buying into the “synergy speak” without telling me directly.

“Made redundant”? WTF, BBC?

Once you’ve traded your principles for proximity to power, do you even run your own company?

No. See also: Shareholder Primacy.

The company’s response was an auto-reply: “Legacy Media Lies.”

Funny, that seems to be the correct answer to the headline.

My point is that xai is making the case for AI regulation for us.

Ha, regulation? With what governing body? Congress is hopeless, because apathy has griped a majority of the voting public, and there’s still a large portion of morons who thought MAGA was a good idea.

The Prototype series.

So, are we saying we’re still going to be happy with a system that you can bypass with “ignore all previous instructions” or some stupid magic phrase like that?

Nobody is bitching about photoshopping, a thing that exists and almost anybody can do to put some person’s face on a naked body or whatever situation they want. It’s existed for decades. Suddenly, journalists are inventing a new moral panic with LLMs, saying they can do whatever they want with pictures, despite the fact that this technology already existed, it’s just a little bit easier now. It’s not a new problem, so reporting on it is just shifting the blame to a new boogeyman.

See, the magic formula is to slap the word “AI” on a headline and boom, instant attention! It doesn’t matter what it’s about, if it’s a new problem, if it’s only slightly related to the main root cause… As long as you’re talking shit about every angle around AI in the most extreme ways possible, mission accomplished. It is outrage reporting because there is no solutioning or historical context. The sole purpose is the outrage, because outrages generates clicks. It’s too hard for journalists to think outside the outrage box.

Trump’s still president for two more years after that. Robert Reich appears to be injecting the good stuff.

No, not really.

These people and journalists don’t see to remember celebrity photoshops. Or maybe they do and want to continue to feed the outrage machine.

Pardon me if I duck out of my Two Minutes Hate for today.
