Yep, tho the same power applies for a lot of an operating system so I see a basic level of trust for the developer as a prereq for even running the OS. If I didn’t trust the dev enough not to silently turn features into spyware then I’d never run the OS at all, personally (so anything Google makes is a hard pass for me). People should always follow release notes and be reevaluating their trust ofc, but if you’re actively expecting malware to be slipped into your shit I personally just wouldn’t give them the chance

If it’s silently installed / enabled by default, hard agree. (again, didn’t read the article so only familiar with apple’s version and not defending Google’s)

If this is done locally on-device with no reporting back to Google, it could be a really good feature - the way Apple does it isn’t censorship, it just blurs the picture to give you a heads up “hey this is nudity, you wanna see this right now?”. You can click into it to see the original whenever you want, and it’s just a nice layer of protection to make sure you actively wanted to see whatever it was (and specifically right now). I hope google’s implementing it the same way, but I don’t trust them enough to bet on it and I couldn’t be bothered to read the article lol

Don’t really wanna defend these assholes, but I feel like the reason they don’t is cuz the prior message could be “curse me out every time I say thank you” so just not feeding certain text to the model would break expected behaviour

Yeah this is an easy dox for openAI at least, tho on a small forum like this idk how much of a target we are

Oh it definitely doesn’t matter, I’ve been ready to block them since the second post I saw from that instance. It’s just morbid curiosity stringing me along at this point lmao

I’ve been completely unable to tell if they’re right wing or just a bunch of edgy 14 year olds, and I’ve been kinda reluctant to block them till I figure out which

Okay the monsters from that game were cool and all but nothing compares to Eugene, I love him so much

Holy shit the fact you can generate something like this with a fuckin 2060 is wild to me

Okay this is hilarious but in our defence, imagine everyone walked around in shoes full of lego bricks and you found a way to get shoes that didn’t stab you. I think sharing info about it constantly so people know they can do it too is a pretty natural response lmao

Yeah the only one I can think of are sloths, which is kinda cheating cuz their green color comes from algae in their fur instead of natural pigmentation lol
Glad to have it confirmed tho, thanks!

I’ve also heard green coloring is hard to achieve for mammals, but iirc the source was some tumblr post so take that with a grain of salt.

Okay rip I think the post I was using as a status check for hexbear was just deleted lmao, cuz yea now that I check others it’s all there
Thanks lmao

Oh awesome, so hexbear’s back fr then? Does that mean old hexbear posts will federate back onto other instances, or are those still gone?

Either way, glad to see you dudes back and thanks for the update!

The author of that essay (@[email protected]) is one of the main devs of lemmy, so you’re asking in the right place lmao

I’m glad hexbear’s back, but I’m way out of the loop on this one. Re-federation? Like they were defederated? The most recent thing I know was them losing the domain, and I’ve honestly just been waiting for them to come back with a new one.

Can someone please summarize whatever went down for those of us who missed it?

Aww they’re here already

Can’t say I’m excited about any hp product either, but the fact these big companies are openly preferring Linux to windows is a sign of the huge progress Linux has made and that’s super exciting imo

Sriracha sauce, it’s really good

Just to add to this, air at different temperatures and moisture levels bends light to different degrees, which is why the layers and pockets of air that form our atmosphere make stars shimmer. It’s partially why astronomers are so eager to get telescopes into space (like Hubble and the James Webb), since the lack of this effect lets them resolve much smaller light sources than you could hope to beneath the atmosphere.
