Now imagine we trust this company with collecting psychological profiles of future western politicians ...

Locally for how long? You know, all that data how you interact with a PC are just too tempting ...

And don't forget to drill, baby.

Excuse me, what was 'TikTok Israel saga'?

I bet on 'foreign interference'

Those threats are called "laws". We strive to the ideal of living in a society that respects laws. Twitter/X is free to leave if they don't like it, of course.

Where is Mecha Hitler when you need him?

Not that hard really (found only German example though)

Most countries have laws against foreign interference. I presume disproportionately propagating far-right content via algorithm might very well count as such an interference.

Yet when you try to impose legislation regulating black-box algorithms, suddenly it's among the HN crowd the Big Bad EU choking businesses and stifling progress, vid the recent AI agreement discussion.

A friendly reminder that anyone can support the defending country.

Great way to sabotage LLM scrapers. Now excuse me while I update my website ...

Mindfulness. Leave phone at home and go for a walk.

You can't tell a project will fail until you undertake it.

Amsterdam didn't deploy their models when they found their outcome is not satisfactory. I find it a perfectly fine result.

Where is that 'growth' disappearing then?

To me, it's empathetic and caring. Which the LLMs will never be, unless you give money to OpenAI.

Robots won't go get food for your sick, dying friend.

Exactly. Artistic and aesthetic values are distinct concepts.

That Mona Lisa replica in your living room has the same aesthetic value than the original, as it is a perfect copy, but vastly inferior artistic value.

Art is defined by context.

More for the preservation of physical freedom than digital, so maybe unrelated, but anyway ...

Taking into account the output usually has the structure of being an expert output (probably because of its correctness language-wise and from a formal standpoint), I propose "bullshitting".

Golden age for broligarchs

It is a fluke visual training sets are far less amenable to sabotage than textual ones. Not that I suggest engaging in such a horrible, terrible, very bad manners, do I?

LLMs are a good tool for certain purposes and that's it. Unfortunately, the vendors are obviously interested in inflating their stated capabilities to get the most returns on investment ...

I see lots of humans in an echo chamber

Excuse me, but from the very beginning, it was SO predictable where this was going.

Excuse me? Of course you can do a lot of things. Talk to your neigbor, share gov't f-ups on social media, learn to argue for democracy and against common MAGA narratives, join protests, donate to good causes, make your political preference visible, spark dialogues.

We (Eastern Europeans) could not do neither of those things without risking jail time and we still managed to topple dictatorships.

You don't pay for your news? Well, you get what you pay for.

I wonder what benefit to society might having a shadow financial system bring? I can't think of any, except for financing entities operating outside lawful limits.

It's happening, though not with ads yet

I think the problem are not group chats, but algorithms optimizing for engagement, and therefore for outrage. Think of the facebook feed.
