5·4 hours agoAny major company with a proprietary code base shouldn’t be running another company’s AI model to write code. Why let the AI company learn how to code with your code base?

Technology@lemmy.world•Local Brand Realizes Customers Hate Its AI Ads, Switches to Charming Homemade Ones InsteadEnglish
122·7 hours agoI feel like a large part of it is that a lot of AI slop is still in the uncanny valley. The uncanny valley has been shown to create a massive negative emotional reaction in people. You don’t want to trigger that reaction while trying to sell people something.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you have any common recipes from other countries that sounded completely weird to you when you first heard of them?English

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it common after a breakup to lose every mutual friend you had?English
1·10 hours agoYou’re going to have to confront the allegations, likely one by one or with a few people. You’re going to be upfront about it and you probably won’t be successful with everyone.
That said, it is kind of a bad sign that you led the discussion here first talking about a break up rather than starting with the rape allegations, since the people who know the two of you are likely going to take that as a tacit admission of guilt.

77·21 hours agoYeah, raping someone would justifiably make someone lose all their friends.

10·1 day agoRussia is already sanctioned/sanctioning due to the Ukraine War. China maybe could, but they are more focused on renegotiating a trade deal. The EU is already in the process is strategic decoupling and can’t go that much faster. Any other country is likely going to either have enough economic consequences that they can’t afford to or are doing so little trade that it doesn’t mean anything any way.

Technology@lemmy.world•Meta So Desperate for Compute That It’s Building “Data Centers” That Are Just Tents Filled With AI ChipsEnglish
2·2 days agoAnd now there are a lot of laws to prevent it.
A lot of people in the troika of instances appear to be from Western countries. There is some diversity of locations, but not a lot.
Nothing will happen to them since Lemmy isn’t popular enough to draw attention and there are basic free speech provisions in those countries.
I wouldn’t say it has been rested from their hands. There are some instances that are still very much in their sphere and there are other instances that aren’t. Due to federation, there isn’t a solid line.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•what will happen to all the datacenters when the bubble bursts?English
4·3 days agoGiven the capital required to build the facilities, it is likely that the datacenters will likely be used or sold as is. I expect that they will be used for some sort of cloud computing, whether it is AI or something else. For instance, I’ve seen some companies start selling specialized data processing for animation and a datacenter geared towards AI may be perfect for that.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if the tech gets used for mass facial recognition if the capital cost drops. It might get used first for loss prevention and crime prevention, but I could see it expand to target advertising and optimize store layout.
It is pro China and Russia, but it doesn’t seem to be run by either country. The most pro-Chinese instances on the platform are banned in China.

3·4 days agoI’ve just accepted that Denis’s movies are inspired on Dune rather than being a full adaptation. If you get over that it, it makes the movies a lot more enjoyable.

Or they’ll just stick with what they got.
