I saw a lot of the Israel stuff get deleted, too. And I believe we also had drama posts back then.

Right. They’re free to continue posting and commenting after tomorrow. We might need better phrasing than to lump together everything with the word “ban” which changed over time. For me a ban is a perma-ban. And a temp-ban isn’t the same. Younger people might have a different understanding? I’d say a 1 day temp ban would be something like a “warning” or “suspension” and avoid the confusion.

Idk, I’d also delete people’s posts if they’re claiming to know something that is disputed. Might be bootlicking, yeah. I don’t know the backstory. If it had been a perma-ban I might have changed my opinion. But there’s really enough misinformation and disputes out there. I think we should pay attention to separate fact and fiction.

You don’t get it. Facts and opinions are two different things. And they’re also worded differently in the english language. One sounds like “He did it.” the other one sounds like “I think he did it.” (Or the opposite.) You might also say “We don’t know yet.” These might all be subtle differences to you but it’s really a huge difference. That’s usually the same reason why some people get convicted for libel. And other people just state their opinion and get to walk free. (And you’re doing the former. You’re not phrasing it like an opinion.)

OP got a warning, not a ban. You’re twisting the facts.

And it kind of goes both ways. If you’re doing “presumed until proven guilty”, you kind of need to do it correct the other way round, too.

Sure, that’s on a different level. Moderators are making a call within a few seconds or minutes. And then your trial is over. And there isn’t any “until” any longer and this doesn’t apply any more. Still, they might be right or wrong with their decision. I’ll give you that.

By me? As I see it there is 3 options: We know someone did something, we know someone didn’t do something, or we don’t know (yet)… I think that’s how logic works?

Correct. “presumed” is the important word here. Not known to be for a fact.

Why do you claim to know it for a fact, then? If nothing is proven or disproven? I’d say by your own logic (it has to be settled by a court first), your factual statement counts as misinformation.

Strongly agree. Legislators have to come up with a way to handle how copyright works in conjunction with AI. I think it’s a sound approach to say companies can’t copyright it and keep it to themselves, if most of what went in was other people’s copyrighted work.

And it’d help make AI more democratic. I.e. not just entirely dominated by the motives of those super rich companies who have the millions of dollars to do it.

Physics becomes inconsistent and everything explodes. Or the Matrix finally errors out and detaches everyone. You’ll wake up and find yourself in some dystopian nursery, embedded in slime.

It won’t go. At least not in the near future. They’re just growing. And that comes with consequences. The article says they’re at it. And doing a good job.

Universities, libraries etc subscribe to newspapers. But they’re not supposed to pirate them. Those proxies / unblocking / access should work from within the network of that institution. So yes, you can go there and read newspapers. If you’re a member or student, you might have a VPN or some software available to access stuff from home. But it shouldn’t be wide open to the general public. I doubt FT licenses their stuff to copy it 1:1 for everyone to read on the internet.

Judging by the URL (the rightmost part is more important), it’s a proxy under the domain of the library of the university in Groningen, Netherlands.

No clue if it’s supposed to be public or safe, or even operated by the university.

Edit: And it shows “Access Error” right now.

The name came from Reddit’s LocalLLaMa. But the community has been discussing other model series and papers as well. But you’re right, focus is on “local” so most news related to OpenAI and the big service providers might be wrong there. In practice, it’s also more about discussing than broadcasting news. I also know about !fosai@lemmy.world but I’m not aware of any ai_news or similar. Yeah maybe singularity or futurology. But those don’t seem about scientific papers on niche details, but more about the broader picture.

I mainly wanted to point out the existence of other communities. It seems to be somewhat wrong here, since OP is getting a third downvotes, as most AI related post do. I think we better split it up, but someone might have to start !ainews

Btw, since we’re having a lot of very specific AI news in the technology community lately, I’d like to point to !localllama@sh.itjust.works

That’s a very nice community with people interested in all the minor details of AI. Unfortunately it’s not very active, because people keep posting everything to the larger tech communities, and some other people don’t like it there because it’s “too much AI news”.

I think an article like this fits better in one of the communities dedicated to the topic. Just, please don’t dump any random news there. It has to be a good paper, influential article. You should have read it and like it yourself. If it’s just noise and the usual AI hype, it doesn’t belong in a low volume community either.

I think that’s how puberty works, and not the teachers’ fault. I’m also kinda old and I don’t know exactly how it is today. We had both, some bad ones, some that were unnapproachable and stuck to their role as a authority figure. But we also had some excellent ones. Also some you could approach with your small struggles as a teen and who’d respect and help you, instead of yelling at you. There is both. And always has been.

Take the advice offered by journalists on how to contact them privately and avoid getting caught. I.e. secure and protect evidence without raising suspicion. Contact a reputable journalist via some secure means of communication. Let them take over and keep silent. Don’t brag or something.

Most good newspapers offer something like PGP encrypted mail, SecureDrop over TOR and more to talk to them.

I think that dynamic predates AI, at least in it’s current form. As far as I know people have become separate and more anonymous and more alone for some time now. That got out of hand with technology in general. Videogames, surfing the web. Looking at phone screens all the time. And spending a lot of time on social media instead of in the real world.

Though we had people complaining even before that. I think I once read some very old text complaining about kids reading too much and spending their times in a fantasy world.

That doesn’t invalidate the current situation. A lot of that has indeed become problematic. And though there are AI therapists and teachers, I strongly suspect they’re going to make everything way worse than it already is.

Oh, thank. Now I know what ECH stands for. I’ll look it up.
