Photographers Push Back on Facebook's 'Made with AI' Labels Triggered by Adobe Metadata. Do you agree “‘AI was used in this image’ is completely different than ‘Made with AI’”?
Can't wait for people to deliberately add the metadata to their image as a meme, such that a legit photograph without any AI used gets the unremovable made with ai tag

Has Reddit’s traffic really quadrupled in 6 months?
Reply in thread
So what you're saying is we should short the stock to make it big
Could even open a lawsuit and force reddit to investigate how much of their traffic is bots, immediately after the IPO

If the logic of copyright/trademark/IP law applied to everything, what's the most peculiar possible implication you can think of for it?

Sure But you could also achieve a similar effect in-camera by zooming in or moving closer to the subject

What reason could Zuckerberg and Meta possibly have for wanting to create a federated social media site?
Reply in thread
I agree that fediverse is only a few million. But the fediverse is also highly populated with refugees from twitter and reddit at the moment, who just want another stable and popular social platform similar to what they've always used.
If anything, the fediverse will have people with stronger opinions: either they're willing to change social media because of a couple bad changes (and aren't too attached to the fediverse), or they're hardcore fediverse fans who are less likely to move to threads than your average twitter user.
If we assume it to be a 50% split, then meta has a chance at stealing half the fediverse by promising a larger user base, thus more content, but on the false premise that Threads will be backwards compatible with the fediverse forever.

Study Finds More Americans Commuting To Work Splattered On Grill Of F-150

Raising the gas prices 10x overnight won't create those alternatives overnight, nor will it put petrol companies out of business because they pass the cost on to consumers who are mostly forced to buy gas at whatever the current price is with no other viable transportation method.
Infrastructure takes time. Sadly the US govt isn't even at the starting line for any meaningful public transit system in most cities.
If gas prices went up 10x overnight, some higher earners could switch to working from home (a positive result), but other industries such as retail don't really get that luxury.. Contributing to more wealth inequality

What future AI applications are you most excited about?
Reply in thread
I'd be worried the service that suggests a roofing company or Italian restaurant would go to the highest bidder. That is, it would only contact the big nation wide chains, who pay apple & amazon, over the small local companies that give better service for half the price.
That's already the case when you use Google maps or Google search, but it feels like you'd have less control by giving the AI a single instruction

Is there is any open-source/ privacy focused email service that does not use end to end encryption?
Reply in thread
I think you're confusing "encrypted in transit" versus "end to end encryption"
Your email between protonmail and gmail would be encrypted between the servers, but both protonmail and gmail could read your email. OpenPGP makes it so incoming emails are encrypted with your public key, so there's an extra stage of encryption that only your email client can decipher. OpenPGP therefore has the capacity for end to end encryption
