This came to my attention recently via someone I follow on Mastodon. I haven’t set time aside yet to set it up and try it out but since I heard about ChatGPT, etc, I thought this would be an excellent use of the tech.

No, that can’t be right.

If you’re in the US,

Don’t talk to the police.

Yep. Everyone in the thread asking this question seems clueless to me. Macros are already a threat. I can’t imagine what a shitshow full on python would be.

Can you expand on how you got blocked? First time I’ve heard of this.

Y tho?

What is there to teach? It’s conversational. If you can write coherently, you can use GPTs. Someone in the English department should leverage “AI” hype to get more funding.

Those people need to pull their head out.

It should be on the government to post this information on a public government website. It should be on the people to go read it.

I do believe governments should be looking at alternative alerting options though. They should take the recent API rate hikes by Twitter as a bright red warning that they should never have relied on private companies like this for important alerts.

Meta started blocking news on its Facebook and Instagram platforms for all users in Canada this month in response to a new law requiring internet giants to pay for news articles.

Look, I hate Facebook as much as the next guy but you have to admit, Canada doesn’t have much to bitch about. They did this to themselves.

Facebook doesn’t want to pay for news articles so they decided not to have news at all. ¯\(ツ)/¯

God dammit.

Huehuehue

Restic is awesome and has been rock solid for me for a few years now. Good choice.

Ah, sort of a “yes, and” attitude. For something so important, I can’t blame them. Texts, calls, emails, social, push alerts - do it all.

Sounds to me like they believe they have far more control over their life than they actually do.

What was Twitter doing that a service like Pushover couldn’t do for them? Same for the city/municipality who stopped sending out their transit updates via Twitter.

So you need physical access to the keyboard to train the system.

You need physical access to a keyboard to train the system. Knowing what keyboard your target uses seems easier than gaining physical access to it, assuming you want to stay undetected.

The ongoing strike, spurred by Huffman’s plan to charge fees to third-party apps that serve up Reddit content, was supposed to last for 48 hours.

Not just charge fees… Exorbitant fees. Outrageous fees.

If Huffman wanted to target these much higher costs to LLMs, they could have instituted an approval process for 3PAs which got charged sane API fees while they charge much more for LLMs. I’m no dev but I think they could tell the difference between the two by just analyzing the API traffic.

But they aren’t doing that. Maybe LLMs were the primary target but they sure aren’t even trying to keep 3PAs around.
