It's okay, they only recommend it for children older than 11.

8-ish is a little early for me. By 'Dawn', I really meant somewhere around 10:30. I am amenable to your terms. I played Age of Mythology and watched (some of) the Marvel movies, clearly that means I am an expert at Norse mythology.

I reckon it must be over 20 years since I last heard this song.

This comment isn't about nostalgia or reminiscing. You ruined something good by making me listen to this again.

We duel at dawn.

I think it's because it causes all of Lemmy to have a collective ragegasm. It's kind of funny in a trollish way. I support OP in this endeavour.

I wish vegans and vegetarians would be a bit more willing to promote this viewpoint.

I agree. I think that sometimes people avoid vegan/vegetarian options due to negative perception drawn from some prominent activists in the community (not helped when rage-baiters get more views and coverage).

I honestly think I would have become vegan sooner if there were less 'hardcore' vegan activists and more empathetic role models.

I fully support people making the public aware of awful conditions in livestock farms and abattoirs (nonviolently), as well as those who encourage alternative options (e.g. nooch is delicious and I wish I knew about it before I became vegan).

The people that dump red dye/fake blood on people, or block streets, or vandalise businesses, aren't doing the movement any favours IMO. The same with people who disparage others who are making more ethical choices, but not the ones they have made (e.g. consuming less meat instead of no meat in this case).

Attacking a person's character doesn't generally work; people just get defensive.

That is an unhelpful response. OP is talking about actions individuals can take and you provided a single word response with a link to overall climate change sources, most of which individuals have no control over (beyond voting).

"...for multi-step tasks"

I actually like AI overview, though I use DDG, not Google. It's especially helpful when you just want a simple answer e.g. stuck on a level in a video game, wanting to know the major exports for a country, checking the release date for a movie/game, basic troubleshooting questions.

Website developers typically bloat simple questions like this with irrelevant rubbish to waste your time and keep you on their websites longer.

No. People will use children as tools to migrate. They already do to an extent, but this would exacerbate it significantly. People should have children because they want to raise a family, not to use them as a tool to bypass inconvenient red tape.

They release them under permissive licences so that anyone can do that.

Hugging Face being developer-facing is completely irrelevant considering the question you asked was whether I was aware of any companies doing anything like this.

Your concern that companies like Meta and Microsoft are too scared to let users retrain their models is also irrelevant considering both of these companies have already released models so that anyone can retrain or checkpoint merge them i.e. Llama by Meta and Phi by Microsoft.

It’s a cloned image, not unique per computer

Microsoft's Copilot works off a base model, yes, but just an example that LLMs aren't as CPU intensive as made out to be. Further automated finetuning isn't out of the realm of possibility either and I fully expect Microsoft to do this in the future.
