I think folks are struggling with the format of this post - I’m thinking it’s probably at least partially in interop issue between Mastodon and Lemmy. Folks on Lemmy are usually expecting the post itself to be a link to the article or site, with commentary in the body or in a comment.

The link is in the text block under the post - this is due to the fairly hacky interoperability between Mastodon and Lemmy. You can post to Lemmy instances via Mastodon but they almost always wind up looking very spammy because of the formatting and all of the hashtags.

Unless I’m mistaken, PiHole won’t block Youtube ads because they’re served from the same domain as the videos.

Thanks! I was pretty happy with how it turned out, which is nice because there were a few points during the process where I thought it was going to look awful.

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of them, and didn’t find an entry on them when looking up on mediabiasfactcheck.com. I wonder if the naming is intentional or just a coincidence around the word “Truth”.

Sorry, isn’t Pravda a literal Kremlin disinfo op? I’m not sure we should be posting anything about the Ukraine war (or, frankly, anything at all) from a Russian state-owned propaganda outlet…

Fantastic article. I’ve had similar thoughts when reading articles on that Marist poll in particular, it seemed like a much weaker statement than most of the coverage was implying.

I think the problem with anthropomorphizing LLMs this way is that they don’t have intent, so they can’t have responsiblity. If this piece of software had been given the tools to actually kill someone, I think we all understand that it wouldn’t be appropriate to put the LLM on trial. Instead, we need to be looking at the people who are trying to give more power to these systems and dodge responsibility for their failures. If this LLM had caused someone to be killed, then the person who tied critical systems into a black box piece of software that is poorly understood and not fit for the purpose is the one who should be on trial. That’s my problem with anthropomorphizing LLMs, it shifts the blame and responsibility away from the people who are responsible for attempting to use them for their own gain, at the expense of others.

I thought the song was called “Head Like a Hole”?

This is one of those stories that probably isn’t actually all that noteworthy - the reporter doesn’t have any actual idea how many people are living in the community, but estimates around 40 - but the details are all just waaaaay too good not to run with it. The original article starts out wild and only gets wilder as it goes. There’s even a guest appearance from Shen Yun at one point. Just check out the first three paragraphs and you can see exactly why this story got written:

Lol, you can tell which commenters have never moderated anything in this thread, IMO. If it weren’t for the high likelihood that these summaries will be wrong an appreciable percentage of the time, this would be a huge help for anyone moderating medium traffic subs. Those types of subs, especially if they have relatively hands-on moderation to keep them from being complete cesspools, often involve seeing a comments or post that is borderline, and feeling like you need to go look through the poster’s history to figure out if they’re a bot or a troll. Something like this that actually worked, especially if it linked back to a sampling of the posts/comments that it is referencing, would be a big help in that. Also something like this that summarized a user’s moderation history would be pretty useful.

I’ve really enjoyed seeing some of the collabs pop up on Youtube over the last couple of months. I was surprised and really pleased by the Bloodywood collab, and I thought it was really cool that they had Bloodywood opening for them on their US tour. Haven’t dived into the album proper, yet, but I’ll give it a listen soon.

i can watch out for myself

The evidence of you posting all over another Lemmy instance encouraging people to go kill cops makes me think you didn’t learn your fucking lesson.

Sorry if it seems like you’re being scolded - that’s not my intention. I think it’s fine to post something like this, but maybe I’m the future a brief explanation of why you found it worth posting would be helpful to get the discussion started - either in the post body or a comment.

Hi @BevelGear - Could you clarify a bit what kind of discussion you’re after by posting this? Also, most folks on Beehaw are probably not lawyers so posting a supreme court ruling without any commentary or clarification probably isn’t the most conducive to good discussion.

I have a sh.itjust.works account that I use to join meme communities there and on .world + a few other instances. The comments are a cesspool but the memes are…reasonably dank?

Not sure I understand this take. The game was a commercial product, Fromsoft made it to sell to people. That doesn’t preclude it from being art, and a film adaptation being made of it also doesn’t preclude that.

A24 has a pretty good reputation for taking risks, and they’re an independent production company. Seems like probably the best possible way something like an Elden Ring film could be made, IMO.

I’ve been somewhat surprised by Amy Coney Barrett. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t agree with her, but I’ve been surprised by her willingness to break with the conservative majority, and I’m surprised by her recusal here. Still - the fact that this is a 4-4 ruling is horrifying

I’ve really enjoyed it, and it’s been a breath of fresh air for this friend group that was really struggling to find stuff to play together. We used to get deep into a lot of survival crafting type games, think Ark and Conan, but several of us had gotten pretty burned out on those, and most of the multiplayer stuff we were interested in either didn’t grab everybody or was limited to just a few players. Stuff like Helldivers being only 4 players meant that not all of us could play together, which felt bad. These multiworld games, though, mean that we can all get on a discord call and kick the runs off at the same time, and it feels like we’re playing together as we call out stuff we’re sending to each other or items we need, but then we can wrap the runs up over the course of the next week as we have time. Plus there are enough games that most folks have been able to find something that feels comfortable for them.

I’ve gotten sucked into the rabbit hole that is multiworld randomizers lately. I’ve done several smaller multiworlds with a group of friends (4-8 players) all playing different games, and a week or so ago got involved in a larger one (15 or so players) that was organized on a forum I frequent. All of these have been through Archipelago, and if you’re not familiar with multiworld randomizers their FAQ is a decent introduction. I’ve played a few different games in these - Minecraft, Wind Waker, and most recently Balatro, and all of them have been really interesting and fun ways to play games that I was already pretty familiar with. Also, my regular gaming group has had trouble finding multiplayer games that we all want to play recently, and these archipelago multiworlds make it so that we can play something together without all having to agree on what to play, plus you can play asynchronously so we can start together but then finish runs out as we have time. It’s been really cool and I’m jonesing for more.
