No, you see, this is about how some people are just born with special powers that intrinsically make them better at work related to the one and only future of the coming AGI god.
DEI is about trying to ensure people have an equal chance. This is about establishing a new class of elites based on unchangable genetic traits. A class of “super” or “uber” men, if you will.
Ah yes, let’s start the slow process of eventually funneling people into roles based off this shit. AI is the future, and potentially our self-bootstrapped god. Neurodivergence makes you better at this sort of work. You’re one of the chosen people. High priest to Roko’s Ballsack Basilisk or some shit.
I know that’s extreme to say, but Peter Thiel, the money behind Palantir, recently gave some absolutely insane speeches about the fucking antichrist. The AI race is legitimately a cult with religious meaning to some of these fucks.
Also, brace yourselves for attempts to use this as a shield against criticism. You can’t get mad at us for not understanding the concept of human dignity, we’ve got the billionaire international surveillance contractor stamp of the global elite approved neurodivergence!
To be clear, no hate meant towards the neurodivergent. I am one. All the hate to the fucking billionaires just transparently fucking over the world in every way they can.
This may be the plan, internally. I believe there are certain provisions that allow the US military and intelligence groups broader rights if they can categorize the action as “against WMDs”.
Then you have to create a framework for evaluating the effect of the addition of each source into “positive” or “negative”. Good luck with that. They can’t even map input objects in the training data to their actual source correctly or consistently.
It’s absolutely possible, but pretty much anything that adds more overhead per each individual input in the training data is going to be too costly for any of them to try and pursue.
O(n) isn’t bad, but when your n is as absurdly big as the training corpuses these things use, that has big effects. And there’s no telling if it would actually only be an O(n) cost.
As if recall wasn’t bad enough.
I mean, joke’s on them, Lemmy doesn’t have accrual of karma so there’s nothing to really “farm” using an LLM.
20 minute old account and posting abrasive things. Goes together like peanut butter and jelly.
The last president to talk about that got a magic bullet for his troubles.
So, reading the short article, only one infected monkey escaped, per the sheriff’s office. Then the University they are from clarified that their infected monkeys are not contagious, and there were no infected monkeys on that truck.
The monkeys are for primate virology research.
Nice reminder of just how hard spun headlines are.
Welcome to the new global military industrial complex, where Palantir masturbates using international militaries pitched against each other.
What’s objectionable about it Apple? Hmm?
I mean, I’ve heard of other sites using info like having a saved payment card in your own name, or the age of the account itself to know that the user is over 18 without needing ID.
But this is Google, they want to flex their analytics and get as much additional info on everyone as they can.
After Guardian reveals secret spy project.
Put the emphasis on Guardian, reveals, or secret. It’s all valid.
Guardian didn’t reveal a secret here. This just finally got them enough bad PR that it started to effect the bottom line.
Why are you talking like Microsoft didn’t know? They didn’t need “to check” or to “review”. They knew and didn’t care until it started impacting their bottom line.
They didn’t fire those employees because they thought they were wrong. They fired them for making a scene. For drawing public and news media attention to it. To try and stop the protesting employees from influencing even more employees.
This isn’t some “oopsie poopsies, we didn’t know! our bad!” thing.
This is a foundational restriction with how federation works and was discussed back during the exodus from reddit when they cut off their API. Votes can’t be federated without identity attached, or you’d end up with a single vote multiplied by however many instances federated it to yours.
This is the price of the fediverse being uncensorable. Everything you do on it is oublic, and norhing can be reliably deleted from the entire fediverse.
There was some efforts to obsfucate voting by one of the m/kbin lemmy alternatives, to have each account have an associated hidden account with a randomly generated name that would technically be the account used for voting, so only the admin of your own instance could connect between your public account identity and your voting identity, but that could also just be defeated by basic pattern identification.
As far as instance admins are concerned, this has been known from the start, and is completely outside of their control. That said, it could definitely use some more signposting for awareness. It’s shocking how often this entire discussion gets repeated by people who apparently never thought to look into how federation actually works.
If you think rural Georgia is such a shithole, why in the hell would it make sense to build a datacenter there? Just keep your shit out of their shit if you hate them so damn much.
This company has illegally installed their cameras in more than one town, then tried to sell the local police force on them.
They have lawyers on staff that they use to coach local politicians on how to hold the votes to establish contracts with them in ways that aren’t technically illegal, but ensure that no community opposition has a way to have their voices heard.
You can find a lot of these sprts of stories by searching online. In local subreddits, ones dedicated to talking about flock, and local news.
Benn Jordan has a good 40 minute video giving an overview of these systems, how they work, what they track, and why they are a problem. He highlights some cases where families were held at gunpoint by police due to failures of these systems. He also experiments with defeating the AI that reads plates.
Louis Rossman is currently leading a campaign against their installation where he lives in Austin, Texas right now. Has a number of videos on it.

Call for people to show up at the Austin City Council session to discuss the potential contract with Flock, and showing how difficult it is to find this sort of stuff and be involved with your local government: https://youtu.be/g4vL1ERdZ9Y

Austin City Council reschedules the vote (in a questionably illegal fashion) with less than 24 hours notice when they realize they kicked the hornet’s nest: https://youtu.be/iscDYp6dtl8
Minor followup during the wait for the revised time, at two of the three parks with 90% of reported car break ins these cameras are meant to deter: https://youtu.be/2QbtDWrlPpc
Exchange Server is effectively dead mid October too. Technically they have Exchange Server SE as an option, but it’s clearly not how they want people using Exchange anymore. They don’t even want hybrid setups.
Which is extra annoying because if you have Azure AD (I guess it’s Entra ID now) syncing from an on prem AD forest, half of the mailbox management shit in Exchange Online just doesn’t work and forces you to make the changes on-prem anyway.
Yep, was literally made as a marketing stunt.
And it’s self-reported by the datacenters. I don’t want to just say that their numbers aren’t reliable, but they have a vested interest in downplaying their impact.
These are datacenters that get approval to use certain power plant styles with pollution capture technology installed that are then building more generators than approved and installing none of the pollution capture tech. So extra pollution and none of the mitigation.
