I figured that a good percentage of the delivery robots would simply “disappear” from the map and be rebirthed as battle bots in some arena with chainsaw accessories.

Firefox Focus with AdGuard DNS

Well, that was an experience.

Depending on which browser, I either see this error:

“A network error caused the media download to fail”

Or I get a video that when paused has a massive “Continue” button in the middle of the shot, obscuring exactly what the videographer was centred on.

That depends on how much you value privacy, it’s not a question I can answer.

Given its history and ongoing lawsuits and investigations, I think that you might want to reconsider your perspective on privacy.

Privacy is like a chain, the weakest link is the end of it.

In my opinion, while there are serious concerns about Google, they pale into insignificance when compared with META.

I’d be less worried about the Play store and more worried about WhatsApp, but that’s just me.

Let me ask you this.

If the LLM instance doesn’t talk to anyone, you’re right, but there seems little point in building an instance that talks to nobody.

This leaves us with an instance that does talk to other instances, presumably responding to posts, making its own and subscribing to communities. This already costs money for each “touched” instance.

At that point the administrator of an instance that doesn’t want to federated with the LLM instance, has to defederate from it, updating their instance and then still getting access requests from the LLM instance when it attempts to do the reply, post, community thing as described before.

Even us discussing the phenomenon right now takes server resources across the fediverse.

In other words, as I said, there is always a cost to everyone.

I understand.

My point didn’t state that all instances would be affected equally, just that there’s an effect everywhere.

All of them.

If you care enough about privacy to not have the Google Play store installed, what on earth posesses you to have WhatsApp anywhere near your phone?

Microsoft … the poster child for Linux migration

If it’s free, you’re the product.

Doug as in we Doug ourselves a hole.

I think that unless you have some way to enforce accuracy, it’s meaningless and AFAIK automatic detection tools are no better than chance and to my knowledge, getting worse.

An AI bot operator isn’t going to tag their material as [AI], more likely than not they’d attempt to use [NOT AI].

I’d also point out that while lemmy doesn’t (yet) support hashtags, any “tagging” would probably benefit from using the existing method using a #tag.

Ultimately, you need to ask yourself, is undeclared AI that goes undetected by the community a problem, or the new “normal”?

I’ll note that I’m not a proponent of Assumed Intelligence and think that when the bubble bursts we’re going to be in a world of hurt, but with a little luck the billionaires will have lost their shirts in the process.

There’s nothing to host.

Create an iCal file and import it into your calendar application on your phone.

Unbreakable Encryption … so … Snake Oil then?

… and Microsoft Windows continues its unbroken winning streak as the best advocate for migrating to Linux …

The link you shared is to Anubis, there’s no information on who changed from one instance to another or why., other than your comment about Cloudflare.

And John Smith rejoices.

This is GOLD!
