You can’t even say he knows his audience because not that many people were actually laughing. Dude is so unfunny he couldn’t even get a Trump crowd up laugh at racist jokes.

Grave of the Fireflies

The chatbot was actually pretty irresponsible about a lot of things, looks like. As in, it doesn’t respond the right way to mentions of suicide and tries to convince the person using it that it’s a real person.

This guy made an account to try it out for himself, and yikes: https://youtu.be/FExnXCEAe6k?si=oxqoZ02uhsOKbbSF

Respectfully requesting that in the future, you read articles before replying.

And:

According to Straight, the issue was caused by a piece of wiring that had come loose from the battery that powered a wristwatch used to control the exoskeleton. This would cost peanuts for Lifeward to fix up, but it refused to service anything more than five years old, Straight said.

“I find it very hard to believe after paying nearly $100,000 for the machine and training that a $20 battery for the watch is the reason I can’t walk anymore?” he wrote on Facebook.

This is all over a battery in a watch.

Thanks; fixed!

So you think these companies should have no liability for the misinformation they spit out. Awesome. That’s gonna end well. Welcome to digital snake oil, y’all.

If they aren’t liable for what their product does, who is? And do you think they’ll be incentivized to fix their glorified chat boxes if they know they won’t be held responsible for if?

Sure bro. Suuuuuure.

I’m replacing my phone soon, and I’ve anyway decided that when I get a new phone, I’m not installing that cursed app on it. That’s how I’m finally going to cut myself off from it and be done.

The way I laughed just reading the first paragraph.

You’ve highlighted what is definitely a major problem with the Fediverse - all it takes for you to lose all the hard work you’ve done building up a community is the person running a server to pull the plug with no warning.

I loved kbin social - I started out on there, and only moved over to lemmy because it was getting too erratic and it was impossible to find out what was going on. Being able to move is a great thing, but if you miss your window to move, you’re SOL.

Admins definitely need to be willing and able to have the reins over to someone else if it’s getting to be too much, or to at least let people know in advance if they’re planning to shut down. Communication is key.

Someone posted links to some of the AI generated songs, and they are straight up copying. Blatantly so. If a human made them, they would be sued, too.

…oh my GOD, they are cooked.

I gave up on kbin social months ago when it went down with no idea when it would be working again. I ended up going over to lemmy.world.

Right now, it’s all being funded by one person, Zhang Jingna (a photographer that recently sued and won her case when someone plagiarized her work) but it’s grown so quickly she got hit with a $96K bill for one month.

Deviant Art is also trying to scrape artists’ work for AI. It what allows AI at to be posted and has prompted it.

I am just so, so tired of being constantly inundated with being told to CONSUME.

If they do, it’s going to be a bad time for them, since Cara has Glaze integration and encourages everyone to use it. https://blog.cara.app/blog/cara-glaze-about

Also, the resale values are…not good.
