nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?1·15 days agoWeird. There used to be screen shot receipts I saw years ago.
Maybe she scrubbed it and turned a leaf? I hope so at least because B’Elanna was my favorite character.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen adsEnglish72·17 days agoThat’s crazy.
Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.
I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I’ve been reading “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford and you’re right. So much of the data that they’re trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it’s probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.
I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn’t a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it’s worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.
I was honestly impressed with the speed and accuracy I was getting with Deepseek, llama, and Gemma on my 1660ti.
$100 used and it was seconds to get responses.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?51·17 days agoIt’s not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references
Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B’Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).
All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with “both sides” arguments.
It’s sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?122·17 days agoGotta protect those Video Game movie deals.
Don’t wanna risk that Ganon cast in the Zelda Movie
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why selfhosted social media protocols are hated ?English3·18 days agoDespite everything. I was considering giving it a try, just to see.
But your right, if there’s a CSAM community on there I would inevitably host it to.
So I will not be trying plebbit

nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI DelusionsEnglish45·18 days agoI think Terry A Davis would have found god in chat GPT and could have figured out the API calls on TempleOS
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•CRSED: Cuisine Royale devs confirm end of Linux / Steam Deck supportEnglish6·20 days agoDunno how big they are. Might be a technical disconnect between the PR person and the devs.
I can excuse a marketing person making this whoopsie, but a dev? Come on you 100% saw the copypasta
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Steam@lemmy.ml•Lets send Steam Support our LINUX System-Report so they know we exist! :D2·21 days agoHell, I bet they have stats on exactly how many Linux users they have just based on how many people use proton.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should Lemmy consider potentially implementing a "Self-Harm and Suicide Concern" reporting feature similar to Reddit's?8·22 days agoI’m inclined to believe not a single actually suicidal person received one of these messages.
You can’t automate concern for fellow humans.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propagandaEnglish21·22 days agoOf the lines I draw in my gun purchasing decisions (you’re right they’re all war profitiers), IWI and the like is the only one that I actively disuade people from.
That being said, the engineering history nerd in me is easily compelled to learn about design philosophies
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?2·23 days agoMy avatar is also partially AI generated. I GIMPed the Zizek face from one of his movie posters though.
I’m used to people calling me out for the Zizek part and that hasn’t happened on Lemmy ever lol.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propagandaEnglish111·23 days agoI’m sure the people of Gaza are always excited to play the “counter terrorists” on Dust 2 as well.
It took watching a bunch of videos on Israeli weapons development before I learned who uses the fucking Negev
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propagandaEnglish7·23 days agoMakes sense. The government probably didn’t want to fund 2 games studios when 1 is fine.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What tv shows would be more enjoyable slowed-down?3·23 days agoThere are so many pieces of media that need much slower pacing. The Sequel Star wars movies for one.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Release v0.6.11 · open-webui/open-webuiEnglish21·23 days agoAn AI project that’s ultimately just trying to cash out? Say it ain’t so!
