Mozilla Names New CEO, Firefox To Evolve Into A "Modern AI Browser" in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world

McDonalds want's new customers too, but that doesn't mean that they should announce that they're going to be focusing on expanding McDonalds into a sushi restaurant. Sure sushi is great, but it has an entirely different supply chain and preparation method than hamburgers. By pushing McSushi you both risk driving away driving away customers who only wanted a simple burger joint as well as risking introducing inefficiencies as your hamburger cooks and sushi chefs trip over each other in the kitchen.

The seat is what really bugs me, it looks like hitting a pothole could easily jostle you enough to make you fall out.

I mean LLM's can only regurgitate their training data in various configurations, and CEO's usually just repeat whatever popular buzzwords/tech trends they've recently heard. It seems like it would work.

It is creepy how close to Trump's cadence the article is.

Hey, a turnip is probably worth more than the can's recycling value, so he came out ahead!

I'm sure fuel efficiency maximums will be upcoming.

Wouldn't a madlib generator be superior to a Markov chain for "poisoning" LLMs? (lemmy.world)

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.

So there's a new homebrew app for Streetpasses over the internet. (gbatemp.net)
 

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.

What's up with all the $99 games with a 95+% discount on Steam? (lemmy.world)
 

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?
