Not saying you're wrong (pretty sure you're not) but important to remember that the reason LLMs use a lot of em dashes is because it features so prominently in journalism.

Not a surprise but nice to have some additional confirmation.

Linux holds a 63% share of global server infrastructure.

How is that not 95%?

It's funny to think this would actually be more difficult to pull off today because of all the algorithmic processing that smartphones do now to "de-blur" images.

Importantly, the WhoSampled you know and love is here to stay as a standalone platform and brand. It will continue to operate much as it always has

The CEO of Microsoft AI is unimpressed by the negative criticism of Windows AI. in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world

If Microsoft's AI actually worked I would be more impressed but it "hallucinates" so often that it becomes nearly worthless.

Looking for a community for AI skeptics that is more actively moderated than /c/fuckai (startrek.website)
 

/c/fuckai has two dozen mods but ironically only time I've ever seen them take action on anyone was when they removed my post asking for recs for a community with more active moderation (lol)

I'd like to discuss generative AI from a highly skeptical perspective but with higher standards of quality and without all the mouth-frothy raging and bad memes of /c/fuckai.

Does anywhere else like that exist on the fediverse? I don't care if it's small/underutilized. And no I'm not interested in creating it myself.

Anyone have any tips to get HDMI-CEC working on LineageOS? (startrek.website)
 

I'm trying out LineageOS Android TV for Raspberry Pi 5. There is an option for HDMI-CEC in the menus, but nothing I do can get it working.

I know it's not the Pi, my TV, or my cables because CEC worked immediately with LibreELEC.

The Pi will go into sleep mode when the TV shuts off (even when the setting for that is disabled) so I can tell that something is being communicated. But I don't seem to have any control over it.

Does anyone have any advice for troubleshooting? I've tried power cycling the TV and Pi, unplugging cables, etc.
