I don’t think that’s the point they are making. What they are saying is this type of crime is becoming more successful with the help of AI, not that the perpetrator couldn’t have done it without AI.
Same as with phone scams. They are becoming more successful all the time with the help of AI because of its ability to emulate human conversation, voice match, etc.
Nebula. It’s got a paid sub though.
There’s also Peertube. I think both are worth checking out.
I don’t think highlighting that criminals are using AI to make their crimes more effective is “using it as AI hate”.
Parents (and the general public) do need to understand the dangers of new technology regardless of whether you like it or don’t.
Not by itself.
I don’t want to buy anything with his face on it because I’m tired of seeing him everywhere. But thanks for the heads up.
Tell me you don’t understand anything about propaganda and it’s role in war without telling me.
You have to understand that the original headline I saw said something to the effect that the EU was trying to enact a law to close the loophole of VPN’s for age verification workaround.
So while this headline is also problematic, the first headline was worse.
Unfortunately not. The state law allows for local municipalities to make nondisclosure agreements with the data centers which would hide the costs from consumers altogether, and they’re raising prices regardless.
While I am curious about where the parents were, I also recognize that even if they knew their kid was playing video games with randoms on the internet, it’s still unlikely that the parents would have the skills to differentiate the other kids on the server playing from the random adult with nefarious intentions.
This seems like a failing of parents to use parental controls and also make themselves aware of the dangers and safeguards altogether.
I suspect the parents were working. A lot of poor parents often are working when their kids get involved in things they shouldn’t.
Now this is a sticker I want. Gonna start slapping this puppy on gas pumps over the stupid “I did that!” Biden stickers.
How many times do they need to be grifted for them to learn?
Much better headline than the last post I saw on this.
I was able to change my SSN but it was a process to say the least. The federal government leaked my info and the info of 21.5 million other military members and government employees in 2015. Combined with everything else that’s out there from other data breaches it was basically the only thing I could do that didn’t involve changing my name or buying a new Identity.
You asked a question. I answered the question. I don’t know what people expect these days but I expect programs to download what I tell them to when I tell them to and not suddenly decide to download things I don’t tell them to. Back in the day we called programs that download things without the users consent viruses.
Especially if it redownloads and reinstalls itself after the user removes it. Doesn’t matter what company it comes from that’s not how things are supposed to work (MS does this same type of crap with copilot and that’s also insane).
I’m shocked. Shocked.
Did she just manufacture a fight so he would buy her a hat?
Yeah. I ran into that when I moved into my new place. Couldn’t access the resident portal via anything but a chrome browser. Wouldn’t even load in Firefox (or waterfox).
On android phones I believe this is called Gemini Nano which is part of the Gemini app for Android and the android AIcore app. The AI core app supposedly eats up like 4-12GB of storage. I believe it’s a system app that you can’t uninstall.
Might be worth a look at your phone apps especially if you have a pixel phone.
It downloads the 4GB local model and then doesn’t use it. Instead chrome LLM usage is routed through their online LLM service instead.
Chrome’s most recent release, version 147, now includes an AI Mode pill in the omnibox, however, this routes queries to cloud-based AI servers. The local model is not used by that AI, instead it powers features like “Help me write”.
Are you asking for tips?
