I'm sure fuel efficiency maximums will be upcoming.

Well of course. Honestly I'm surprised it took this long. As I've said in the past, there's no bigger tent than a fascist who needs power, and no smaller one than a fascist who has power. Trump has gotten the votes he needed from the Catholics, so it's out with "We're all Christians here!" and in with "They're not real true Christians!" In this case apparently because they commit the sin of empathy.

Honestly, if real life cops were even half as dedicated and moral as their fictional copaganda counterparts ACAB probably wouldn't be a saying.

I have a oddly hard time spotting Cybertrucks in the wild, I think it's my brain trying to spare me the psychic damage of seeing such an ugly vehicle.

You can probably remove "ID" from your post.

Funny to see the shift from "punish the guy who recorded him" to "punish the guy who said it" after it got media attention. It shows how little really care about their executives being racist pieces of shit who despise their customers, they just care about optics.

Their alleged goal was to take over Gonave — a tropical island of about 100,000 people

The plot involved buying a sailboat, weapons and ammunition and recruiting homeless people in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area “to serve as a mercenary force.”

Yeah... I don't think that's gonna work.

When I read the headline I assumed it'd be some flyspeck private island where most of the residents are listed as staff. But nope, they wanted to do a full on Columbus and slaughter around 50k people. Which of course, the world would definitely just ignore and just let Gonave become Murder Rape island.

I'm glad they have other charges, because this "plan" is so stupid and unworkable that It'll be hard to prove that it's not just some fucked up fantasy that they were larping.

Still turning it off though.

Well that makes me feel a bit better about sending markov chain generated text to my other e-mail accounts.

So I guess Putin's "We're invading Ukraine to 'denazify' it" justification has gone down the memory hole?

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

So firstly sorry if this isn't a appropriate post for this community, but I had a shower thought a few days back.

LLM's have gotten sufficiently advanced that they can usually detect Markov (or randomly) generated text even when it's fed into the front end. As such, it seems likely that most "AI" companies either have or will have some sort of pre-screening pass to "clean" the raw data crawled from the internet. Heck, I'm sure they're filtering the data with a AI detection algorithm too.

However, there was this conspiracy parody site a while back called "Verified Facts". The sites down now and something that wanted to install a Firefox extension, so don't go there. Luckily there are many instances of pages still on archive.org to get an idea for what sort of stuff it generated. And I was thinking, this is some (mostly) grammatically correct, constantly on point drivel that would probably bypass both Markov and AI detectors.

So it seems like if you were going to make an "AI tar pit" you'd get much better results with one that tricks the AI into ingesting auto generated Madlib pages filled out with a list of randomly picked words.

 

Since there is no thread about this on Lemmy, I figured I may as well make one in case someone hadn't heard about it.

Anyway, a new app called Netpass has been released that allows Streetpass over the internet. The app is still kinda rough, a few games like Tomodachi Life have a minor bugs, but for the most part it works almost exactly like if you conventionally streetpassed someone.

 

So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there's quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars. Even odder when I go to the game's Steam, it's not listed as being on sale and costs the... "normal" price of $99.99.

I'm just wondering A) What the scam is here, B) How a SteamDB.info is getting $99.99 dollar game as costing 30-ish dollars when it's 97% off but at the same time it's apparently not actually on sale?
