Wikipedia Cofounder Larry Sanger Banned From Site for ‘Canvassing’

For good reason, there is a lot of interest in implementing actual bias.
Israel/Palestine/Gaza is examples of this.
Do you have any examples of bias? Or wrong information?

How is it biased? Biased towards truth? If you have proof of it lying or misrepresenting something, then you just have to prove it and I am sure they or you will be able to change it.

How will AI sycophancy change us? Early signs are not encouraging
I tried showing my friends how Gemini is pretty balanced and not as sycophantic as the rest. After 5 queries they seemed quite surprised of how balanced and nok sycophantic it was.
At the sixth request is said: "based on your instructions, I should not simply agree with you."
Turns out I had a pretty substancial set of instructions to make it useful and had forgotten about it 😂 Explains why I have preferred Gemini for a long time.

Local LLM Inference Optimization: The Complete Guide
Reply in thread
I have a PC that has been crashing a lot recently, but only when running long RAM+CPU and RAM+GPU intensive tasks. It uses about 60%+ of ny RAM.
I ran a memory test for 9 passes, no errors. No errors with the CPU only, and no errors with GPU only.
So it can be the XMP that crashes it?

Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more
I have never understood why Epic did not make a decent store. They can absolutely compete if they actually tried. They have close to zero things going for them in terms of user experience or price. Quite the opposite.
A lot if people, myself included mainly care about price and drm. So Steam is not something I care about, just price or GOG.
Epic has a negative UX in terms of their store. GreenManGaming, Fanatical etc, has vastly better stores. Why is Epic wasting enormous amounts of money on giveaways, when most people see no reason to buy from them?? I prefer not using their store, not because Steam is better, but because Epic truly sucks.

There Are 100 Computers Hiding in Your Car Right Now (You’re Riding a Data Center on Wheels)
I think it's wild how much surveillance we accept in Europe from car manufacturers. Teslas and other EVs with cameras everywhere are all over the place. I’m Norwegian, and Teslas are the most popular cars here. I can look out my window and see four to eight Teslas, all of them covered in cameras.

This is kind of strange for me to see, because there are so many people that buy Teslas in Norway. I think it's the most popular car, the one that sold the most this year, and it was actually an increase from last year. So people are still buying Teslas, even if they know about that fascist Hitler salute thing with Elon.

I did not know that, is it a good experience? Does it feel "complete" when playing or rough?

This is really surprising. I did not know that so many Norwegians disapprove of the United States.

Vivaldi's Leader Has a Bold Pledge: No AI in Your Web Browser

I agree. I don't think we have to push people into using some truly revolutionary tech. Then it would not be revolutionary.
The thing that frustrates me most about AI is that the companies that use AI in their software have ZERO creativity. A lot of applications and operating systems could have had AI in a lot of very narrow usecases. Everything from suggesting which command you should complete in the terminal, to where you should put your file for good organization.
I do know that AI is becoming synonymous with LLMs, and ML would be better for many usecases. The difference is that using LLMs is super easy for it, even if not as good.
Instead, we have this ridiculous thing in which we're supposed to remove the human part. That goes for art, music, and writing text. I think it's quite disrespectful to send messages to family, friends and colleagues that are written by AI, with few exceptions.

I have this preference as well but it's not too important for me. I care mainly about the price and if I can actually own the game. So if I pay 50% more I don't buy on GOG but 10% 20 sure. Otherwise it's just wherever I can get the cheapest.

I have been using a speech-to-text AI system the last day, and I'm using a whisper large 3 turbo Voxstral Small (Mistral) and a rewording model that fixes the sentence but doesn't rewrite it, and it's almost perfect. I'm using European-hosted AI through cortecs.ai, and it's really cheap.
