I assume that tool is using a collection of existing accounts to cast the votes? If so, can you just identify which accounts those are and report them to whatever server they are hosted on? I didn’t read the whole thread so maybe I’m missing some context.

Not defending this, but it’s annoying because Google and all search engines results are being poisoned by AI written slop. It seems like LLMs may provide a better search experience, but it’s also the thing ruining the search experience.

I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but I imagine if AI slop is ruining search, it will also start to ruin itself when the current slop is used to train future LLMs. Basically I think AI will short circuit itself long term.

Now, will it short circuit itself enough for Microsoft to stop shoving it down our throats, probably not.

Well obvious umbrella. It’s bad luck to open you in the house, and we don’t keep the fax machines outside.

Like I said in my other comment, maybe I’m just really missing the obvious, but that wheel looks to be part of the food cart. You gotta remember phones have been doing computational photography as part of the image processing for years. Weird things can happen without any AI involvement

Maybe I’m really missing the obvious here, but I’m a little worried we will overcorrect at some point and start accusing everything of being AI. Especially as image models get better.

Hank Green gives a great example of this where a rocket landing that looks odd was misclassified by many as AI despite it being real

EDIT: I think the best alternative reason I can present for the weird part of the image is that it’s a screenshot of street maps. There are two images stitched together where the cart and cart meet. The cart is moving slow so it doesn’t make it to the second image, and the white car moves relative to the first car slightly in the second image, making the bumper weird. It does feel like I’m grasping here. It’s probably AI.

Maybe I’m wrong and my AI detection is bad, but the quality of the rest of the text in that image compared to the license plate makes me think this was just a shitty clone stamp cover up job to hide the and of the plate number.

Edit: upon further looking the power lines do seem weird. But I still think the text alone doesn’t give it away. But I haven’t kept up with image models this past year. I guess the text behaves differently now

AI to make us more private? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Totally agree nuclear is a great tool but totally being used for the wrong purpose here. Use those power plants to solve our existing energy crisis before you crate an even bigger energy crisis.

AI to make us more private? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] moseschrute@lemmy.ml 110 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (6 children)

I feel like I woke up in the stupidest timeline where climate change is about to kill us, we decide stupidly to 10x our power needs by shoving LLMs down everyone’s throats, and the only solution to stay private is to 10x our personal LLM usage by generating tons of noise about us just to stay private. So now we’re 100x ing everyone’s power usage and we’re going to die even sooner.

I think your idea is interesting – I was also thinking that same thing awhile back – but how tf did we get here.

Godspeed fellow lemm.ee users. Thank you mods for a great instance. in c/memes@lemmy.world

I really want to make the switch to Jellyfin… but (lemmy.ml)

I loaded my entire Plex movie library in to Jellyfin and at first everything was going great. Realized pretty quickly some files won’t play on my Apple TV. I tried multiple Jellyfin apps for ATV but I imagine the issue is the transcoding on the backend.

I understand mixing open source software like Jellyfin with closed source Apple products is a weird combo. But I’m not willing to ditch my Apple TV right now.

I confirmed the video files that weren’t playing via Jellyfin played no problem via Plex. Plex continues to make decisions that make me want to switch to Jellyfin, but it also seems Plex’s transcoding is better. Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Edit: Looks like Raspberry Pi 5 doesn't pay nice with Jellyfin when it comes to hardware acceleration :(

What operating system and app store do you use to browser Lemmy (lemmy.ml)

I'm going to run this as a poll by creating some responses you can upvote. If you wouldn't mind upvoting a an existing comment so we get get a really nice count. See the comments I'm Leaving to get an idea of how the poll works. Try to follow my comment structure, but add your own options if you really feel I'm missing something.

I really hope this works how I'm envisioning. I really want to get an idea of operating system and platform preference skew for Lemmy.

How to vote:

  1. Upvote the operating system you use
  2. Upvote how your download the app of choice

If you use a browser

  1. Find the "Browser" comment and upvote
  2. Upvote the browser you use

If you use multiple, feel free to upvote multiple

For anything that isn't a vote, please search for the "bump comment" and reply to that. I know this isn't exactly open ended, but I really wanted to pose this question to a community that didn't skew towards a specific topic. I hope that's ok with this community and the mods. I would love to discuss the results of this poll at some point. My goal is to collect those results in a way that informs that discussion so we're not all guessing how people use Lemmy.

Edit: because there is a troll downvoting comments randomly, you should look at just the upvotes, not the score, to get the correct poll results.

Looking for a few beta testers for my Lemmy Android Client (lemmy.ml)

Google requires a dozen or so beta testers before you are allowed to launch an app on the Play store publicly. Given that this community lives on Lemmy, and it’s full of Android users, I was hoping I could recruit a few people.

My app, “Blorp”, is already listed on the official Lemmy website for iOS, but Android has been delayed due to this requirement.

Would greatly appreciate your help, and if it turns out you like my app, I’m happy to make changes based on your feedback.

For closed testing, Google requires you join a linked Google Group before downing the app.

Step 1: Join the testing group

🔗 https://groups.google.com/g/blorp-android-app-testers

Step 2: Download the app

📱 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.blorpblorp.app

Thanks in advance!

Edit: there’s also a Lemmy community if you want to stay up to date or ask questions !blorp@lemmy.ml

Looking for Android Beta Testers For My Lemmy Client (lemmy.ml)
 

Android requires I have a dozen beta testers before I'm allowed to push my app, Blorp, out to the store. My app is FOSS, has matching web, iOS, and MacOS versions with more to launch (e.g. Linux). My goal is to ship one unified Lemmy experience for all Platforms.

I'm really hoping to launch Android in the next few weeks, but I need a few more testers. If this sounds like something you're interested in, DM me with the email associated with your Android account. Google requires I add people by email to complete the required closed testing.

Hope this is ok to post here. Genuinely I want to deliver the best Android experience possible.

Blorp, write code in your lemmy posts and comments with realtime syntax highlighting! (lemmy.ml)

Try it!

I haven’t seen another Lemmy client that lets you write code in your post with real-time syntax highlighting. It’s not just code. Write your posts in rich text without toggling between Markdown and preview.

There are a lot of Lemmy clients, so I’m sure someone else does this. But I wanted to share in case anyone else finds this helpful.

Blorp v1.0.3 Released for Mac and iOS (lemmy.ml)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/27244086

Try it!

If you already have either the iOS or the Mac app it should prompt you to update. You can relaunch the Mac app to trigger the prompt.

Changes

  • Add setting to hide read posts in feed
  • Fix comments not showing up after submitting
  • Fix bug where saved posts feed was only showing posts local to your server
  • Refresh inbox tab more frequently
  • Cache user profiles
  • Improve performance of post feeds (most noticeable on iOS)
  • Fix dark mode flicker
  • Fix youtube embeds where video ID contains dashes
  • Increase the sizing of the login form to make it to use

Appreciate all the feedback so far!

I'm struggling a little to get the performance I want on iOS. I'm curious if anyone is using an older iPhone. I would love to hear if you think the app feels snappy enough or if there's room for improvement. If you could leave a comment or DM me with the phone your using and what you think.

Blorp for Lemmy: Now on Mac & Web, More Platforms Coming Soon! (lemmy.ml)

Announcing the Blorp Mac App Preview – Available to Test Now!

Blorp is at a stage where there's still plenty of work to do, but I’m ready to start gathering feedback. The main areas that need improvement are enhancing the post creation experience and adding the ability to sign up directly through Blorp.

That said, Blorp is already very usable. I’ve chosen to launch the Mac app first because, among all the Lemmy clients, the desktop space is the least saturated. I’m starting with Mac since that’s where I’ve done all my testing, but the plan is to expand to Linux and Windows as well.

I’d love for you to download Blorp for Mac! If you’re not ready to install it yet, or you're not on a mac but still want to check it out, you can use the web version at blorpblorp.xyz.

Did I mention, Blorp is open source? You can read all the code on our GitHub.

Other platforms coming soon:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Linux
  • Windows
