Welp; It's easy enough to download Deno.
Anyone caught with their panties down after they make it a requirement is responsible for downloading Deno to fix it for themselves.
I'm glad they're doing what they must to keep the project going; and moving this function to a more powerful engine isn't a bad idea...I hope other YT extracting tools will follow in these footsteps as well; leveraging a more powerful tool ain't a bad idea...and it might solve some of their own papercuts.
While that may be true; it's still a relief; because he can only stretch a lie so far.
Eventually people who DO care will realize he's lying about the murderer's intentions or beliefs. That in and of itself puts egg on his face. Even if he is known to lie frequently and this is another one in the pile; it remains a lie. He cannot use the situation to truly legitimize his actions.
As his actions cannot be legitimized by this situation; it enables more people to realize that his actions overall are not good; and may permit them to muster the courage necessary to stand against his tyranny.
Hmm. This is interesting news to say the least.
If he was as 'off-the-Right-Edge' as it implies, that could be troubling. But it does explain the sudden source of Facist and Nazi ideology upwelling from the Right. That sort of thing doesn't arise out of a vacuum and lack of influences.
I'm actually kinda relieved it was not someone who sincerely held Left-leaning ideals...anything that genuinely gives the Big Orange Idiot something to run his nonsense 'with and on' should be properly denigrated and chastised.
At least for now; it looks like the B.O.I. in office has egg on his face and he's scrambling to wipe it up; because the shooter is potentially far more extreme-right than even his own MAGA group is.
I'd say they're getting desperate to extort the few victims they manage to infect with this crap if they're adding an extortion/blackmail component to this that isn't your bog standard "oh files are now encrypted" malware.
Since ransomware is pretty much known to be common enough; it's clear that people are backing up data on a regular enough basis to be resistant to it; especially if the criminal is demanding far more money than any data they managed to take hostage is worth to the person. Since cloud services are ubiquitous now; it's likely they already have critical documents and photos backed up safely and the ransomware fails if all the user does is find someone techy to just nuke the whole system and reinstall everything from their cloud backup.
Using browser activity and webcam spying might seem clever but it's just a reaching maneuver to extort people who would ordinarily just shrug off a ransomware infection but whom still have poor enough opsec online to be affected greatly by such blackmail.
The issue is the absolute cascade of a metric Shit Ass Fuck Ton of things the average ADHD mind will pile on top of the simple task that is needing to be done.
Oh, you wanted to clean the house? Well, First you gotta find the tools, buy more supplies for cleaning, put the pets away, warn everyone you're cleaning, find everything you misplaced before, oh by the way the laundry needs sorted, the dishes need washed, and oh by the way we're out of dishsoap, and oh by the way we need to buy more milk eggs coffee...etc... and oh by the way since we're there we might as well just get some flash drives and oh by the way the remote needs more batteries too and oh by the way the computer needs a new antivirus license and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way .... and oh by the way ....
And. it. Never. Fucking. Ends.
Usually your brain will stack overflow after about the tenth or fifteenth "by the way" but y'know some of us have triggers as well and some of us are ASD too and so those "Oh by the way" quips our brain are making? Yeah, one way ticket to trauma or depression or anxiety or whatever else is going on. That's on top of the already fraught emotional and cognitive load of emotions the whole cascade above caused.
Except I already covered that by pointing out that those are considered 'broken tools'; you are also wrong about the argument.
Finding out an AI is misaligned is reason to consider the tool "broken". People still choose to use the "broken" tool because they think it's good enough; that also means they accept that risk.
Honestly that's a good thing though. It prevents the prudes from being shocked by the content and finding reasons to harass creators of NSFW content legally.
It really sucks that it has to be that way for UK users; but if you're already buying something spicy; you know what it is...and keeping systems in place to enforce more "if you know, you know" type walls up tends to keep prudish people pleased easily.
Not defending the action; just saying it prevents problems later.
No. Not really anyways.
HOWEVER... The AIs in question MUST BE Competent Enough. What your definition of that will be is likely to be flexible and possibly even debatable with others depending on the situation.
What needs to be true is that AI must not be capable of making the same mistakes a human could, but the mistakes that an AI COULD POSSIBLY MAKE are required to be mistakes that any human could reasonably and very easily catch.
Unfortunately the above IS NOT TRUE of current AI LLM type implementations. These LLMs have no consciousness nor ability to reason beyond what a computer could. They have no creativity, despite having the ability to parse language and guess the next word.
If you only learned the rules, grammar and vocabulary of a specific language and were given absolutely zero context or cultural and historical teaching; an LLM is what that would look like. This by itself is not enough to replace jobs.
Is that fact enough to stop heartless corporations from trying it? Hell. The. Fuck. No. They will try it anyways, they will 'fuck around and find out' on the off chance that it may save them money. They don't care that it's the company selling the 'AI product''s job to lie to sell their product. The fact that some companies are that desperate to save cash is telling in and of itself about the state of the world right now....but that's another topic for another day and another threaded post in another subcommunity on Beehaw.
Take your time, be you, and remember that Dysphoria is not a requirement of being Trans. Only you can decide what you identify as.
In my personal experience; Dysphoria comes and goes as it will. Dysphoria is not usually a normal part of puberty; at least not in the way you describe the way you've experienced it.
I would suspect; the main reason why you don't feel it frequently right now is that you've already accepted that you may be trans, and have allowed yourself to mentally explore that concept or thought. There is no harm in doing so; and you're free to come to your own conclusion about being trans, female or feminine.
In this case; the UK is reaching too far. Genuinely speaking; they don't have the right to fine you if you don't live or operate in that country. 4chan never did have any legal presence in the UK; even if it did accept 'donations' from UK citizens.
At worst; the UK can block 4chan from being accessed in their country and seize any money sent to 4chan by their citizenry in the future. I doubt anyone would care if that's what they did.
The US specifically even states in it's constitution that no citizen shall have laws imposed on them by another country that restrict their freedoms.
If it’s a tool, you aren’t necessarily able to control what it does under your direction.
This is false. A tool, by definition, is controlled by the user of said tool. AI is controlled by user input. Any AI that cannot be controlled by said input is said to be "misaligned" and is considered a broken tool. OpenAI lays out clearly what it's AI is trained to do and not do. It is not responsible if you use the tool they created in a way that is not recommended.
Any AI prompt fits the definition of a tool:
From Merriam-Webster:
2b: an element of a computer program (such as a graphics application) that activates and controls a particular function
In my opinion; the AI should not be equipped to bypass it's guardrails even when prompted to do so. A hammer did not tell you to use it as a drill; it's user decided to do that.
The user alone has the creativity to use the tool to achieve their goal.
Yeah this is problematic because once the PLC controlling entity decides they don't like you or your PDS in general; they can simply cut your entire system off the federated structure.
Good for Deplatforming Nazis; but Bad for Freedom of Speech; if it's used to deplatform more than any Nazi or Facist...
Then there's the issues with having a For-Profit entity controlling the PLC. Bluesky is required by law to prioritize it's profits and shareholders at least to some extent; if they ever become publicly traded. If they haven't already.
I suspect we all will have to wait and see if this ever takes off in a direction we want it to. I don't like how it looks already...as it makes control of your identity onerous and requires you to trust your PLC.
The PLC should be decentralized somehow. That might be something Bluesky has to kick off once they get the project off the ground and more users interested. We will see if they hold to their ideals; or if those ideals are misguided.
