And the proper respectful thing would be to give the person you’re cancelling with more notice than an hour before hand, and only after they contacted you to confirm.

Technology@lemmy.world•Utah first state to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs — law goes into effect, designed to prevent bypassing age checksEnglish
1·8 days agoAs of today a large amount of countries, representing around 4.5 billion people including the largest economies in the world are pushing for some sort of age verification requirement.
But that does not mean they are also pushing laws that hold the website responsible if someone connects through a VPN.

2·8 days agoIf companies are blocking Utah they are already showing they have no interest in doing business in Utah so who cares if Utah charges them?
China can charge me because I said “Winnie the Pooh” in a post and a citizen might read it and might think I’m referencing dear leader, doesn’t mean I have to give a fuck or do anything about it.

2·8 days agoMy housing complex has a 10km/hr speed limit, it is completely unenforceable (police aren’t going to put in a speed trap or monitor a road inside a housing complex). Doesn’t stop people getting all upset because they’re sure someone was going 15.

If China decides my posts are a crime because one of their citizens might see it I am in no way obligated to go to China to defend myself or pay their fines.

Reddit@lemmy.world•Users Furious as Reddit Intentionally Breaks Its Mobile Website, Demanding Users Download Its App Instead
2·11 days agoYou can’t be serious if you’re telling me you’re going to use Reddit comments as a reliable source of information, but then ideologically object to the idea of using an LLM for the same purpose.
I’m saying Reddit is more reliable than AI. I agree with you that you shouldn’t just trust Reddit as a reliable source of information, I just trust AI much less.
Have you used AI in the past year?
Yes yes, someone has hard-coded a fix for the strawberry thing. It’s still an excellent example of the root issue:
-
it was a thing everybody knew was incorrect and they could see how AI dealt with it: guessing, and then insisting it made no mistakes.
If I can’t trust it for basic information I can double check myself then why the fuck would I trust it for information I can’t verify myself? -
everytime something like this comes up it gets “fixed”, sure. Someone hard codes a correct answer to the specific question that everyone can easily see is incorrect. Why the fuck would I assume that’s happening for some obscure thing that I don’t immediately know is incorrect?
Sure, it’s probably not telling people to put glue on pizza anymore, because everyone who reads that knows it’s a bad idea. How do I know it’s not suggesting something equally stupid when I ask it how to rewire a thermostat, something that the majority of people won’t immediately clock as “that will burn your house down”?
LLMs are really good at sounding smart to people who don’t know when it is very wrong.

3·11 days agoI’d rather use Reddit than AI, yes.
If someone says something incorrect on Reddit there’s a good chance there’s someone pointing it out. AI will insist it is correct when it tells you “strawberry” has 2 “R’s”.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up?
3·17 days agoThe Orange one has demonstrated how useless the system is at dealing with him. It doesn’t matter what the next guy says, everyone has seen that the guy after that can just blatantly ignore the rules again, tear up and ignore agreements, and nothing will stop him.
That’s the real problem. The promises and signed agreements of America mean nothing now. I don’t know how you fix that without some serious structural changes and some way of proving those changes will be actually enforced.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Am I "too woke" for thinking the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic is disgusting?
6·19 days agoYes, it is not the behaviour of a healthy adult, nor is it something that should be treated as “normal”.
Also: it does not cross the line where a biopic is “disgusting white-washing” as OP claims.


This may be the biggest reason the Epstein class wants AI used everywhere: for some reason using and listening to AI makes them not responsible for the things they do, and the thing that scares them the most is being held responsible.
