People keep bringing up that because of the devs history with that instance, "surely it is the Lemmy devs themselves who are doing this". Which hurts Lemmy's reputation overall.

That photo (I've seen it circulate on the internet myself) is a photoshop. Every reputable source says that no one knows what happened to that man, and we have no evidence whatsoever of him getting run over.

How exactly can a political policy support anything? It's the people who call themselves after an ideology who support it. Not an abstract ideology that a guy invented over 100 years ago.

Crushing people with tanks

Just a heads up, while it is established that the CCCP killed tons of people on that day, the idea that people were crushed with tanks is disputed in academia and mostly considered inaccurate news reporting.

The famous "tank man" photo shows a guy standing in front of a tank in order to prevent them from moving tanks to another part where the protesters had gone. We have no evidence that he was driven over by that tank.

Well since all major lemmy instances seem to hide mod names in their logs, we don't know who the banning mods are.

Lemmy.ml also has the funny quirk that it doesnt have a proper legal imprint or team list afaik. So we don't have actual transparent information on who is on that instances admin team and who is not. Iirc only one of dessalines and nutomic is on that admin team anymore.

Afaik nearly every feature/product Mozilla has shipped with Firefox in the past has been optional. So surely these will be as well.

Anything illegal posted on a remote server will bring legal trouble to you as a server admin the moment it federates onto your instance. Therefore I completely understand them defederating from instances with a high risk of illegal activity.

My bad. Doesnt change what I mean though: the AI should not say "it's also great to put glue on the pizza" - it should either not reference that at all or say "fucksmith on reddit recommends glue on pizza".

The main field where they are already actively in professuonal use are rough drafts in creative fields: quickly generate possible outlines for a text, a speech, an art piece. Visualize where something could be going, in order to decide which direction to pick.

Also, models that work differently from the GPTs are already in use in science, scanning through huge amounts of texts in archives to help analyzing or search for something in particular. Help find patterns in things for studies. Etc.

The "personal assistant AI" thing obviously isnt quite working yet. I think it will take some time and models with a different technological structure (not GPT) to achieve progress in that regard.

IMO these issues are mainly with the interface / how the AI summaries are presented.

The issue with incorrect answers like the glue on pizza one isnt "hallucination". The LLM is pulling that info from an existing webpage (The Onion). The thing they need to change is how that info is portrayed. Not "one tip is to use glue", but rather "the satirical site the Onion says to use glue".

Hallucination should be combatted by the fact that the AI cant show a proper source for facts it made up itself.

I think it used to allow all kinds of erotic content and fetish stuff, just not outright porn.

Yeah there are a lot of ethnocracies. Turkey being one of the most obvious examples. Even within the EU you have countries like Latvia or Estonia who have been labelled that in the past.
