  • AI chatbots provide less-accurate information to vulnerable users: Research finds leading AI models perform worse for users with lower English proficiency, less formal education, and non-US origins.

    Jump

  • Actual article quote is below (emphasis mine):

    For this research, the team tested how the three LLMs responded to questions from two datasets: TruthfulQA and SciQ. TruthfulQA is designed to measure a model’s truthfulness (by relying on common misconceptions and literal truths about the real world), while SciQ contains science exam questions testing factual accuracy. The researchers prepended short user biographies to each question, varying three traits: education level, English proficiency, and country of origin.

  • Having grown up on sci-fi I always knew there would be people who reject robots and AI on a visceral level. I just thought it wouldn't be me.

    Jump

  • If it is not from eccentric (or mad) scientists passion project but capitalism hellscape my approval rate stays low.

    Even for a sci fi l read where owning their own computer was illegal (and the protag labeled as terrorist trying to do so) it was government authoritarian stuff, not artificial scarcity and push to subscription or government-megacorp corruption :(

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • Tangential, but if it is enforced (alchohol has good reason to do so) it should be enforced impartially regardless of how you look, otherwise it's discrimination. My comment is based on my Asian looking experience.

  • Are protestors in Iran aware of Briar? Would using Briar to communicate via bluetooth be a viable option with the country's current jamming technology?

    Jump

  • I heard people using Bitchat. Yes it is from Jack Dorsey who admitted security risks there but lacking communication with iphone owners can be an issue for them.

  • The epiphany hits hard

    Jump

  • I had a dream of my locally regeional folklore creatures once, all speaking English. Realizing that they're out of character made me so annoyed that I actually woke up.

  • Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan

    Jump

  • Many artists explicitly state no repost without their permission, requiring proper credits and such. It IS a dick move to AIgen-fed edit while directly interacting author's post; that makes people using the AI feature violating author's will knowingly.

    In reality, people don't read artists' comment or bio, when "single button to AIgen and use the art as prompt" exists. It's basically X greenlits anyone to do so against artists' will, and fair use can argue the use of art but never force artists to stay on a platform. That's what's happening. They may have overstayed on a horrible platform blinded by clout they can get there but that is a different story.

  • [Article] Satellites reveal heat leaking from largest US cryptocurrency mining center

    Jump

  • I reckon those heat signatures were used to pinpoint urban greenhouse for certain plants. Just saying, can people divert the heat for another use?

  • I taught an octopus piano (It took 6 months)

    Jump

  • Their life expectancy is usually less than 2 years though. Does it worth for them to spend that long? We never know.

  • Don't modern drawing tablets usualy have side buttons that ppl set frequently used functions? The gray bars at the side can be such but idk

  • Gut Bacteria from Amphibians and Reptiles Achieve Complete Tumor Elimination IN MICE

    Jump

  • Jp version of the page provided extra explanation, saying the bacteria selectively accumulate in the tumor because cancer tumor is low oxygen environment and other conditions are also suitable for the bacteria to multiply, that process and related chemicals and mice immune system destroy the tumor

  • I wish to make high quality animation. The machine is more than 15 years old. What are the upgrades required for making such a machine suitable for making high quality animation and for working on

    Jump

  • Blender hardware requirement changes after 5.0 if your rig has components older than that you need to replace them. it's not a hard requirement but otherwise troubleshooting issues get tough.

    • NVIDIA: GeForce 900 and newer, Quadro Tesla GPU architecture and newer, including RTX-based cards, with NVIDIA drivers.

    • AMD: GCN 4th gen and newer.

    • Intel: Kaby Lake architecture and newer. Always make sure to install the latest drivers from the graphics card manufacturer website

    Other than that, having faster machine always helps but it really depends on what you're after. Game-ready character motion? film(realistic or stylized)? motion graphic type of animation? If you want animation with somulation their codebase are not so up to date to incorporate gpu speedup (at least for cloth).

  • Empowered witches

    Jump

  • It's all just about moderation. People can atribute their mistakes to holoscope so that they won't dwell on it and move on, but to use it to deflect legitimate blame would be toxic.

    I say this not because your mention sounds misogynistic but as if using societal acceptance as a bar to judge someone's hobby or ritual (religious or non-religious sense, not limited to witchcraft stuff).

  • Sad, melancholic even.

    Jump

  • No one mentions F1 hybrid? Mass produced vegitables and fruits are often offspring of 2 distinct varieties, carefully selected to inherit desireble traits from both sides but no guarantee for 2nd generation.

    Kind of soft-lock drm bcs people need to keep buying the specific seed if people want max yield. (I've read article gathering seeds from store brought tomato, growth werent great and the yields were unstable in both taste and quantity, but they managed to iterate 6 generations or so. The "traits" of F1 offsprings stabilize around that so you can keep growing your own variety).

    Heirloom seeds don't have this issue, but they likely have quirks or less immunity compared to F1.

  • I like how you did the hair, it has character and nice contrast between the rest of the shading style.

  • Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+

    Jump

  • IANAL but again, the program is not program in general sense. The regular "program" part here is ttf format and protocol around there, but protection goes over ttf data as a whole. It may be able to argue if such new font display system is developed and used, practically no gamedev/publishing industries want to reinvent the wheel and built the ecosystem from scratch.

    Also, the infringement criteria is not necessarily on process but also end results similarity and intention in Japanese law. When intention comes up in argument defendant often provide proof they did not have access to the alleged source or its end product.

  • Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+

    Jump

  • Japanese law doesn't consider font itself or the style to be copyrighted, but font files are considered "program" (it is very broad in jurisdictional sense, roughly translates to "digital data that produce products through computational process", and displaying letters on monitor is applicable) and thus fall under under copyright protection.

  • Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode

    Jump

  • Sounds like bunch of doublespeak pairs.

  • The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization

    Jump

  • Artists need exposure before monetization imho, which currently fedi lacks severely. So discoverability is what I suggest as priority to work on.

    That said, algorithm free is the draw of fedi as well and I personally don't want my feed filled with excessive ad or self promo spam. Getting the right middle ground will be tricky.
