Why does he have 4 accounts? Relevant XKCD

Edit: lmfao do people really think this image isn’t all the same guy?? With those profile pics???

Bangin. Just what I needed tonight, thanks.

Hey if it works in nature.

The winglets on the end of airplane wings were added after watching hawk wing feathers with slow motion cameras.

The joke is that this is the best representation of a Fourier transform you’re ever likely to see.

Yeah I was thinking it must be to do with some un-federated stuff.

How dare you post this without any link @[email protected]

Edit: Looks a bit different today, how could have a last post 2 years ago in the OP but have a last post here just over 1 year ago?

I mean he did coin/popularise the phrase “Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

I’m happy to do that, but without any update notification a new update will likely go unnoticed for some time.

I was looking for a new TV last month, the salesman said it was “sacrilege” when I told him I had no intention of connecting the TV to the internet or using its online functions since I will have a media PC connected to it. I was just interested in the quality of the screen.

If it’s similar to the football streaming then primarily they’ll be targeting those selling pirated material.

For it to happen in the Fediverse AI would have to be training on the Fediverse.

That’s what this post is about. Using reddit to plant comments that AI trains on, and subsequently getting AI to spit out your answer to questions it’s asked.

As such this can happen anywhere where AI is being trained. The issue is with how AI is training, not with how websites it trains on are being operated.

It’s a grift, but it’s extra steps. It’s not about affecting the experience on reddit, but for AI users. They use reddit to plant answers, which AI then trains on and regurgitates later.

Eventually the reddit thread would probably balance out, and incorrect information should get downvoted and replaced by corrections from people who know better. However AI might not account for this and could still spit out the planted information. It’s this delicate manipulation that this LinkedIn Lunatic is bragging about here.

Not quite. They’re making posts on reddit that few if any humans will ever read, targeting rising threads and planting comments before AI reads them. Then when someone asks AI a related question, it regurgitates the planted comment rather than established facts.

So it’s not SEO on humans searching reddit, more like SEO in the AI domain.

I say that because, from a safety perspective, his advice should absolutely not be relied on when determining whether or not the gas currently being used is safe.

It really should be said that this expert is talking out of his ass here. He hasn’t positively identified the specific gas being used, just a similar product by the same manufacturer, and he definitely hasn’t actually measured nor tested the gas at the scene. It’s an educated guess, but still a guess.

There’s a difference between doing what needs to be done, and simply doing what they’re doing but against them.

If you start using duhumanising rhetoric, and labelling them as less than human to justify violence against them, then it won’t be long before you start expanding your definition of who isn’t human. Just like they’re doing.

Thankfully mandatory arbitration isn’t a global problem.

Lol setting aside the joke, and of course if you don’t pay you won’t have a case, but if you had paid I think there would be some statutory rights that would make a claim straightforward and wouldn’t require a lawyer. Small claims is a pretty universal concept regardless of jurisdiction, the limit varies but everywhere has some similar avenue. Filing fees are small and lawyers are not usually involved, just two parties and a judge, and these days it can be done remotely.

What if you downloaded an iso from Microsoft and typed a simple command into powershell to activate it? 🏴‍☠️

But yeah all I’m saying is Microsoft are definitely on shaky ground with their sales claim here. However it’s no less shaky than things they were already convicted of years ago yet seem to be doing yet again, eg bundling Internet Explorer/Edge as the default browser - which has now expanded into occassionally resetting your default apps to Microsoft ones with system updates.

Project PRISM has matured.
