Not to be confused with Microsoft Copilot, which I have yet to find a use for. Do you not like GH Copilot either?

That GitHub Copilot and friends are useful? I would argue that their utility is rather subjective, but there are indications that it improves developer productivity.

I’m unsure if you’ve used tools like GH Copilot before, but it primarily operates through “completions” (“spicy autocorrect” in its truest form) rather than a chatbot-like interface. It’s mostly good for filling out boilerplate and code that has a single obvious solution; not game-changing intelligence by any means, but useful in relieving the programmer of various menial tasks.

May I ask, what evidence are you hoping to see in particular?

It doesn’t do that, either. LLMs retain the linguistic patterns found in textbooks, nothing more. It’s remarkable that they can do so much with this information alone, but it’s still a far cry from genuine intelligence.

I mean, it’s not shit at everything; it can be quite useful in the right context (GitHub Copilot is a prime example). Still, it doesn’t surprise me that these first-party LLM benchmarks are full of smoke and mirrors.

I’m not extremely familiar with it, but I think X11 qualifies. I think it was determined that HDR support would be basically impossible to implement.

Of course the Lemmy devs aren’t liable for GDPR violations; the admins are. That doesn’t eliminate the problem, though: if the Lemmy devs wish to see their software used as it is now in the long term, they need to introduce GDPR compliance tools. We should consider it gravely concerning that bad actors (e.g., a Reddit employee) can set up Lemmy admins for a massive GDPR suit at any moment.

Edit:

if the people complaining are so concerned, why do they not contribute the code to fix their perceived issues?

I know it’s a stereotype around here, but not everybody on Lemmy is a programmer with free time.

I would guess that they settled because they would go bankrupt fighting it. You have no idea if you and their legal team are in agreement, as far as I can tell. Feel free to comment with proof to refute my guess, otherwise my guess is as good as yours.

You should reconsider that, because you are most definitely giving up many of your rights to your content.

I’m not an authority on copyright, nor did I claim to be. I’m just aware of my surroundings.

And again, even if courts suddenly decide that training AI isn’t fair use, you don’t have to attach a license to your comments for it to apply. Content that you produce is copyrighted by default, with all rights reserved. You are exclusively giving away rights by attaching a CC license, not reserving them.

So you’re hoping judges will collectively reinterpret the definition of fair use under copyright law to exclude the training of AI models? Good luck with that lol

Also, most of your comments wouldn’t be considered copyrightable.

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0!

Why? You realize that you reserve more rights by not including a license than by including one, right?

Haven’t people been blaming DLSS for encouraging publishers to release poorly-optimized games, though?

This happened with lemmy.world and it’s not even official. Most people, including myself, will gravitate towards the most popular instance: like it or not, popularity and reputability are correlated. I joined Lemmy because it gives me the option to jump ship if necessary, not to join a random instance from the get-go based on a dice roll.

Spoken like somebody who has never played the timeless classic that is ARMS 🤧

I don’t see anyone simping for corporations

Did you respond to the wrong comment by any chance?

Not only will Meta read, train AI on, aggregate and datamine, and correlate this data with your real identity

They undoubtedly do this already. There’s nothing stopping them from setting up an instance that looks like a personal one and pulling all the data the Fediverse has to offer.

There’s a lot of strange answers here.

1. AdGuard extensions for Safari successfully block all YouTube ads, although in my experience you have to keep reloading the page.
2. I also use uYouPlus, but you have to remember to connect it to your computer once a week, which blows.
