they do some reverse image search on the internet and find your facebook profile or similar things.

Yeah, they mention that it’s unsuspicious glasses by the look. We’ll have to see what this comes to… When google introduced their Google glasses, people got yelled at on the streets, at least as far as I remember.

Clickbait warning. This has nothing to do with the Meta smart glasses. They’re just a means of taking pictures of people without them noticing. But you could do the same with any internet connected camera / phone etc.

I don’t think the app in the picture is driven by AI. Seems like a catalogue of questions. Probably to assess some situation by some standard procedure. I’d trust that. Regarding the AI apps mentioned below: I wouldn’t trust them at all. If my private parts start itching and I can’t make sense of it, I’d go to the doctor. At least if it’s serious. Or use Dr. Google if it’s not too bad.

wtf?

Certainly Ubuntu. But fortunately I have more options to choose from.

I don’t get that from the article. And I mean it’s not a “web” if it’s not interconnected, is it?

Things have shifted a bit in the last many years. Now almost no one reads blogs anymore. They want doom-scrolling and interaction. And even the old school nerds moved away from RSS, Mail and IRC. I also liked some Linux forums, but I feel it got more quiet there during the last years. Mostly to the benefit of proprietary platforms like Discord and such. But I don’t thing they’re very social, as in open and giving freedom to the people…

What’s a better protocol for a social web?

Sounds like standard practice. First embrace as long as something helps you grow and then wait for the right moment and extinguish.

I don’t think this will be received well in the western market. But that might not be their main criterion.

Ah okay. I wouldn’t know. I played Minetest instead of Minecraft. And the community there seems to be nice albeit a bit small. I learned a bit of Lua and contributed some smaller fixes to some mods. But I guess the gaming and modding community for propriety games is a bit different than the open source community.

Most open sorce licenses do, not just the GPL. I’m not sure what Minecraft modpackers do. But in the free and open source world, you’ll always find that attribution. Sometimes they have a list who wrote the software and who maintained it for what timespan.

We need uncensored models. Eric Hartford wrote a good blog article in May 2023 about the whole topic: https://erichartford.com/uncensored-models

I think that also applies to biology reasearch and a variety of topics. And also in the adult industry AI can contribute new “art” or take away and flood everything with low quality content. We also have fights about copyright everywhere. I don’t see the adult industry in a different position than other industries… We’re going to see how AI changes things. Having a say certainly helps. I don’t like things being forced on people.

I think we have some more pressing issues with email. We need a new protocol that effectively fights spam, phishing and adds encryption and signatures. And that protocol needs close to 100% adoption around the world. I don’t mind if we also go ahead and make it more efficient and add features like automatic deletion etc. But that’s just the cherry on top.

For AI training? Or why would someone specifically pay attention to watermarks? I believe there are curated datasets out there. And watermark detectors to weed out watermarked pictures from a pile of data. I don’t think the general public sorts by presence of watermarks…
And I’m not sure about games and webcomics. They all have some logo somewhere, because they’ve been made by someone. If you don’t want that, you’re looking for white-label products. I think in the realm of privacy, and those product types, that’s a small to non-existent niche.

Same post from yesterday: https://lemmy.world/post/19716272

And since it wasn’t ever a secret that these services are for data harvesting, they got next to nothing from me. I mean does it make a substancial difference if they sell your data or use it to get to know you so they can do targeted advertising… Or train an AI with it? I’d say the latter isn’t even that bad compared to the other business model. But yeah, be cautious about these tech companies. Generally speaking they’re not invested in your privacy. On the contrary. If you value that, use other services. And it’s been that way for quite some time.

Well, nothing lasts forever. I’d say distributing them on something that lasts 10+ years is better than doing noting. Otherwise they just get lost, buried in the attic or the next harddrive crash takes them.

I think as a country they don’t need “in” on AI. They already do lots of AI, robotics… Published language models that are on par with what’s publicly available elsewhere, use quite some electricity for AI compared to other countries… So I think it’s just the next AI thing, this time from China. And probably part of some strategy to end up in a total surveillance, techno dystopia. Now they need to connect it to WeChat and all of their camera surveillance and they’re almost there.

Yeah, it’s so much novel. And Jarvis - of course - is the only scifi to compare things to.

The article is kind of all over the place mixing high-school graduates and fourth-graders? I can see how you’re sluggish at typing in fourth grade… The numbers for a 17 year old would be interesting… But yeah, 13 words per minute isn’t impressive. And most young people I know use phones and tablets, not computers. So naturally a good amount of them isn’t good around these things.
