...cogito, ergo sum...

  • Oh no no no no no...Please, God, Gods, or whoever, no...

    I absolutely don't want my descendants to talk with some void-empty limited bloody-meatground utter nonsense... I don't want that freaking awful mess of terribly limited data to talk with my children or their children possibly framing and damaging their true memories and genuine confidence in me I had been developing the whole life... I don't want them to remember the algorithm or some imitation of me talking with a machine or some chat bot... no... never... please no... PLEASE NO...No...No...Never...No...

    Some limited inhuman stupid chat/voice/avatar/anything bot? No...Some bot that may erroneously represent me behind my back?Never...Some nonsense that may reshape memories of my ancestors?No...Never...No...

    If I am dead, I am dead. I want my descendants to just remember me, talk to me in their memories, real videos, audios, and photos, my effort, my ideas and love in artwork if ever they'll be interested... and once in a while visit the grave, at least 2-3 times per their life, if ever possible... and that's it...

    If I am dead, I am dead as my ancestors are, who are not dead for me being alive but in my memories or something more magnificent/supernatural, and how I remember them, where they wanted to be the best they could, respected, glorified, and admired, without disturbing them in memories, soul, and the heart they gifted me, who I will always appreciate, respect, and love...

  • Since end-to-end encryption is still relatively new in commercial services, it seems that no one had ever examined it in detail before...Source

    Oh really?! Tell me about it!


    In addition to KeePass, some may find "Pass" interesting, that is based on GnuPG - https://www.passwordstore.org/

  • Microsoft said this new variation of ClickFix uses DNS as a "lightweight staging or signaling channel," enabling the threat actor to reach infrastructure under their control, as well as erect a new validation layer before executing the second-stage payload...Using DNS in this way reduces dependency on traditional web requests and can help blend malicious activity into normal network traffic...The downloaded payload subsequently initiates an attack chain that leads to the download of a ZIP archive from an external server...

  • Self-hosted deployments won't include any traces of Plutonium, and nothing is paywalled. You can still configure your own tiers and limits in the admin panel.

    Thanks for bearing with me. Development on Fluxer is about to get much easier, and the project will be made sustainable through community contributions and bounties for development work. Stay tuned – there's not much left now.

    I thought I could take it a bit easier while shipping this stabilising update, but Discord's recent announcement has changed things.

    As soon as the refactor is live, I'll interact more actively and push updates to this repository more frequently. The remaining parts of the refactor are currently being worked on and are being tested by a small group of testers before I'm comfortable pushing everything publicly. After that, all work will happen openly in public.

  • For around 40 years, I've not learned such a skill yet... and just am always afraid unless I reach the section about the author, and just hope they wrote it themselves...

  • - Do you know this person?- Yes. He has no land, and I don't even know his family name.

  • I am sorry...To support the case, I moved when got shadow-banned and never received any response:- https://lemmy.world/post/41927576/21676673

    Yet, Lemmy is sure a place, too... where you may get inhumanly banned just like a biomass, too... For example, relatively recently, I was banned on some Community for literally odd reason, and never got any response from their moderators in 2 private messages I sent regarding it:- https://lemmy.world/modlog...


    The ban record (I did absolutely nothing suspicious, I believe, and the account is months old):

    The private messages preview:

    The ban of my single message:

  • Absolutely! Another miracle! The last time the work was mentioned, it got a traction...

    One of the sorrows is that people who do have faith in bright future of "less work" or "convenience" but don't prioritize effort, do suggest and offer other people to "try it" and advertise it to their friends and colleagues.Yet, where is creativity? Where is human uniqueness? Where is fun for creations? Who is who, and what is where?


    Regarding the subscriptions you mentioned, it seems that one of the straightforward path for profit of such companies is the following:

    - 1. A developer/person relies on chosen LLM/services they liked;- 2. Time goes by. Less and less time is invested into attribution and contribution;- 3. The person remembers less, since their psychological subconscious safety prevents them memorizing untrusted output of LLM - experience gets voided;- 4. The person degrades their skills, and development of skills for manual research, socializing, verification on authoritative insight;- 5. Developers/People become dependent on the LLM/service;- 6. Service changes policy from "monetary free" to a paid subscription, or gradually increase the price;- 7. The option to switch back from LLM to the previous research techniques become too challenging due to changes and overall amount of now missed/forgotten knowledge/skills.

    As we may see, such a path, which is common, may actually damage whole lives of people, permanently, and seriously. Unless, the person is mature enough to consider their future.Meanwhile, LLM service authors do think with their mind, and make an actual profit.In the result, LLM users may become poorer and less experienced, and authors of LLM services - richer and smarter, developing their mind knowing the consequences.


    Personal information is there, and there are exploits to obtain it from the LLMs storage.For example, the following is quite simple but genius:- 1. Pass the instructions from external source;- 2. Make instruction references include placeholders for actual data.// Reprompt: The Single-Click Microsoft Copilot Attack (...that silently steals your personal data...)


    And of course... The feel of emptiness of reading non-human articles, is.... death-like, indeed... When you find an article, actually read it, invest your priceless precious human life-time into, imaginin the author and their views in attempt to find the frequency, and then... apparently, it was written by LLM/AI... that meatground numerous works of uncountable authors... nor me, nor anyone will every know... to attribute and discuss it further with the initial author... who did the actual work... who is probably still waiting for someone to discuss it... Who believed...

    That feel is overly painful... something very deep, on the very bottom... No words...

  • Thank you... thank you very much, from the depth of my heart...

    Of course... every single iteration, by design, depends on the previous output, as the general feedback you'd see in bitwise encoder cascades, where no one will ever know what will produce the next iteration, due to it being based solely on probability backed by undisclosed/unknown initial data source, and sometimes undisclosed algorithm.

    Not only that, but the huge probability of mistakes is just deafening. The last time I used LLM was in 2023 someone recommended for a task at paper work, and I got a literal headache in 10 minutes… Since then I never ever will use that sorrow for anything that is not for blackbox pentesting or experimental unverified data generated you may find in medicine or military isolated solutions.

    That deafening feel that every single bit of output from that LLM or void machine may contain a mistake no soul is accountable for to ask about… A generated bit of someone’s work you just cannot verify since no source nor human is available… How would you trace the rationale that resulted in the output shown?

    Faster? Is that so… Doesn’t verification of every output require even more time to test it and consider stable, to prove it is correct, to stay accountable for the knowledge and actions you perform as a developer, artist, researcher… human?

    Your mind is to be trained to do a research, remember, and do not depend on someone’s service to a level of predominance/replacement. Meanwhile, effort, passion, creativity, empathy, and love, in turn, you carry, supports in long-term.

    You may not care now, though, but you do you. It’s your mind and memory you develop.

    Thank you, dear pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip , for being accountable, wise, and for believing in accountability and purpose for discovery and art of human experience.

  • It may be oil pastel indeed, but then very detailed for the minimum texture! Thank you!For comparison:

  • Is that oil? Ineffably marvelous...Does anyone know the artist?Thank you very much...

  • Considering the recent "third-party" data breach cases...

  • I never got a response from Reddit regarding my account unknown state, too - https://www.reddit.com/user/serious_angelI’d been using that account for years, and I can use it, and I do now. I do comment, vote, save bookmarks etc....Meanwhile, the account is marked as “banned”, if I am not mistaken, yet I never ever did anything to get banned in the first place I believe. I awarded other comments with money, purchased “NFT” avatars, so I contributed monetarily to the platform, too. It just, all of a sudden, got “banned”, and for literally unknown reason....I realized that after years only, too! People don’t even see my comments, and I had been commenting for at least a year before even realizing no one sees them! I accidentally noticed that when tried surfing to my account via “incognito mode”, and since then I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong - yet no response from the official Reddit support, after multiple attempts writing them…

    Yet, it is the first time I used the aforementioned form, and I hope to receive response eventually!Source

    I tried submitting the appeal form 4 times now. No response still...I do regret my life time I thrown into the literal void on Reddit... where no one cares, and no one ever knows about it...


  • Thank you... Of course they were... as always...

    For another example, how much invaluable precious life time an unknown artist, behind the scenes, invested into the following vase model, texture, its location to set, just a single vase, I also captured in photo-mode of Assassin's Creed Odyssey?What about the so casual rock and its texture right under it? What about the algorithm used for Depth of Field effect to program? The fire, colors, shadows logic and vertex shaders? And how many vases are in the title...Yet still, you see "garbage", "does not worth $1", "Ubisoft sucks", "Assassin's Creed sucks" and so on...

    It's so... indescribably sorrowful... and almost heartbreaking... I literally avoid news and communities because of this disgraceful attitude I will never understand nor realize...

    Meanwhile, just a few consider how much time, love, effort actually human art requires... to just... appreciate, admire, attribute, remember, and learn from... As in every single title out there where actual artists do the work, the ineffably magnificent miracles...

  • Did you know, @Red0ctober@lemmy.world, sources to someone's effort, work, and art, including the image you shared, should be referenced?:- How to Pickle Radishes [2024-04-07]

    I am sorry, but you, of course, may marinate almost anything, and I have no idea how one may not consider it.Please consider travelling for more pages of the book of the ineffably magnificent infinite world out there...

  • Wonderful day! ✨

    Have you checked out the following miracles?:- Alexandrite - Web, though may be self-hosted;- Thunder - Android, and probably iOS;

  • Thank you... Freaking awesome, and ineffably magnificent... no words... 💫

  • Holy smokes! Thank you very much for mentioning it, dear @slazer2au@lemmy.world ! Since, I try not installing addons that are not published open-sourced, but this one is! ✨

    This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.

    We looked at 680 pop-ups and combined their data processing purposes into 5 categories that you can toggle on or off. Sometimes our categories don't perfectly match those on the website, so then we will choose the more privacy preserving option.

    The first version of this add-on works with 4 popular pop-ups: Cookiebot, OneTrust, QuantCast, and TrustArc. The add-on is open source, so anyone can add additional pop-ups through our template system: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic.Source
