This reminds me of an episode of Taskmaster where a contestant plans to gain extra time by hitting the alarm in the lift (elevator) but instead of slamming to a halt there’s just a little voice message and the lift carries on as usual.

This is a great use of AI and it’s caught some small errors like the wrong its (which is one I find distracting when reading). The editing is light enough that it’s still your voice, just with extra punctuation and fewer typos.

You’re right, and it’s infuriating that the AI scrapers are just so lazy/incompetent that they do things like try to scrape every dynamic page of a git repo instead of just cloning it. Similarly, they could just connect over ActivityPub and it wouldn’t have much more overhead than another private instance.

There’s Anubis which uses JavaScript to force browsers to do some work before they can access, but given how unpopular Cloudflare is around here, I imagine there’d be a lot of complaints if it was deployed on every instance.

I suppose it could be used in the sense of a dog flushing out game for the hunters - to make something hidden visible so it can be dealt with.

Culling took a real toll on the staff

I can believe it, I would be surprised if some of them have PTSD from this, having to triage and kill most of those starving birds.

I wonder if they asked for red in their prompt, or if the AI did it - and if it’s the AI how much the red association is with evil vs Republican.

Mentioning Trump in the headline feels a bit clickbaity.

I agree that the executive pay is ridiculously high, but Mozilla does a lot more than fund Firefox. Off the top of my head, there’s contribute to research and standards (occasionally standing up to Google and Apple), run MDN and similar sites, lobby for user-friendly regulations, fund other projects (maybe that’s in the past?), and advocate without corporate bias.

I know there’s a Mozilla foundation and a Mozilla corporatilla foundation and a Mozilla corporation and I’m not clear which one does what tbh.

From what I hear about the Firefox code base, I think the best thing we can hope for is at Firefox manages to hold on until one of the new browser engines is mature enough to take over.

I’m not understanding why that’s an appropriate name, but maybe I need to learn more about butterflies.

Tbh, I don’t think you really understand how the non-rhotic accent works. In this case, the /r/ would be fully pronounced, as it would be at the start of a word. Say bread, elongate the r and skip the ed part and you have what it sounds like.

If you’re very used to hearing the bunched r, the British version still might sound softer, but even in the USA (where most people use bunched r) it’s still common to hear an r made with the tip of the tongue behind the teeth (upper or lower).

I’m ignoring the other r sounds, but you do find a lot of them across the various regional English accents.

This is a great example - it kinda makes sense if you skim read it but butterflies have nothing to do with butter, just like hotdogs have nothing to do with dogs.

FiveSixElevenSeventeen downvotes and counting…

LLMs are already being used for policy making, business decisions, software creation and the like. The issue is bigger than summarisers, and “hallucinations” are a real problem when they lead to real decisions and real consequences.

If you can’t imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.

My friends would probably say something like “I’ve never heard that one, but I guess it means something like …”

The problem is, these LLMs don’t give any indication when they’re making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don’t understand the limitations of things like Google’s AI summary* so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

* I’m not counting the little disclaimer because we’ve been taught to ignore smallprint from being faced with so much of it

I had “install Linkwarden” on my todo list; Hoarder/Karakeep seems very similar, does anyone have opinions on which is better?
