Brought to you by the same genius that doesn’t know that in the English language “prostitute” has no gender…
i thought ml was better than this, I was wrong.

We need to free Germany from the backstabbers that sold the German people to either the Russians or the Amis.

Programming@programming.dev•Do you guys use AI when programming? If so, how?
3·7 days agoYes because I can’t program.
I ask it to construct small blocks like if or for loop statements with a very verbose prompt so that all variables are properly named and the code block is small enough I can debug myself.
Basically is like building lego where the AI prints every piece.
- It’s much more time consuming than if I knew the language myself but it’s actually a fun way to learn and it’s faster than wading through forums for n amount of time.
- I don’t get paid to do it, so I don’t see it as problematic, my biggest gripe is I used to cite the stack overflow, etc, user where I got the snippet of code before and now I can’t give credit to the original author.
- It’s useful since it has allowed me to automate a lot of tedious tasks that would otherwise be more time consuming, making the activation energy necessary to create the automation much lower.
- I use mistral exclusively, the GPT 4, 4o and 5 are quite useless in comparison. The latest mistral and codestral tower above them in my anecdotal experience, at least the way I use it.
- It works well with local models so I don’t have to feed the beast.
- I’m an illiterate idiot when it comes to python so it has resulted in someone being able to do something they otherwise couldn’t.
- I’m not a programmer, AI hasn’t made me a programmer, If I were a programmer, the code completion is so slow I’d probably not use it, I’m unaware of other uses other than debugging, but even for its own code, debugging is hit or miss, miss, miss because of limited context, it really can’t debug well.
- It’s definitely not worth how many trillions are being poured into it. Especially when one uses it more and becomes painfully aware of the limitations, it becomes quite obvious that the applications lie in increasing industrial and scientific productivity rather than creating a mass market tool.
- Agentic AIs are pure cancer and a security catastrophe waiting to happen. The ease with which one can use prompt injection to exfiltrate basically any kind of data the agent has access to is probably keeping many a cyber security experts awake at night. I envision, ironically, black hat being invaded by “prompt engineers” specialized in creating injection prompts.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Technology@lemmy.zip•'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassmentEnglish

decentralized entertainment…
That’s so patently false it could have been an argument by the pedophile in chief.
I’m out to my antiquated life, cheers.
edit: Two people already who don’t understand what decentralised means. This is concerning, that’s the type of people who fall prey to these scammers or other tactics to take advantage of the lowest common denominador, like lootboxes or gacha games with hyper sexualized young characters. Late stage capitalism sucks.

817·11 days agoAssault is an unforgivable crime and thusly indefensible in any setting. What a fucking creep.
Furthermore, taking advantage of vulnerable people, (mostly lonely or too young to be fully developed) to fleece them for money by capturing them in an asymmetric parasocial relationship should also be a crime. These people only parasitise society and benefit from conpanies like Amazon or Twitch holding a de facto monopoly. They are part of the oligarchy.
Generally, Influencers, streamers and some youtubers (GN etc are notable exceptions) are parasitic entities that have no place in a civilized society. We’re rushing towards idiocracy at lightspeed.

9·15 days agoIt was a phase I\II trial. Dafuq u on about?
Phase I\II determine efficacy and safety profiles.
In this case they are proceeding with a new cohort where the administration will be concurrent with immune suppression to counteract inflammation in the pos-op phase.
They will likely apply for a phase III after since this is an orphan drug.
Fairphone, Murena or Sony if default android is a necessity.
