one time i was making potato soup and i needed broth for it but i was out of broth. but in my dog food cabinet there was a carton of chicken broth that i had bought for my dog. now the box did say HUMAN GRADE and the ingredients were just bog standard chicken broth. it did say something about joint health for dogs on there. but the ingredients were normal. i even compared the ingredients list to some normal person broth and they were the same. so i did put dog broth in that soup and it did taste completely normal. but i did use the dog broth.

Now this might alarm you but nearly everything on the internet is being hosted in a data center. You are utilizing a data center right now reading this post

Everything in the digital world has physical infrastructure that supports it and has environmental impact and I don’t get why people act like that’s unique to AI

Magnitude. LLMs needs orders of magnitude more computing processing power than your average online service.

It's like saying "I don't know why anyone cares that they are building that super highway through a protected land when there is already a dirt road there"

For those of us in America (USA, USA, USA... sorry), think of doing some basic stuff on the internet (like tumblr, yay!) is like me driving just over 1 mile to go to the nearest grocery store.

Using something like a streaming service for the same amount of time, is like driving 10 miles to a grocery store.

Using an LLM is like driving 100 miles to a grocery store.

This is a very good analogy. And as the resident smug European, I need to add:

Using the old web (from early versions of social media to websites, RSS and blogs) is like walking a few blocks to get your groceries.

every day i get a little madder about the ‘dream job’ narrative… all i want is to have a job that benefits society somewhat, doesn’t abuse me, and lets me live a happy life outside of my job lol. jobs should not be (and arguably can’t be) cosmic destinies and identities

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou

[ayeforscotland]

Let’s fucking go

[made-in-manetheren]

This is HUGE.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

You're not allowed to watch morally questionable movies because you're prone to evil and it can corrupt you. Whereas I'm allowed to watch morally questionable movies because I'm such a good person that the movies are actually redeemed by my consumption of them. If I write a favorable letterboxd review the rehabilitative effect is even stronger. But you are still not allowed to watch them in that case. Ok?

ok sorry to double reblog BUT I just looked him up and he does these fantastic videos where he breaks down HOW he actually mimics the other artists’ styles. Like for ed Sheeran, he explains how he brings his voice forward in the mouth, while Adam Levine sings in the back of the mouth, stuff like that. It’s SO COOL, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone actually break down how to do this sort of thing, as a skill, instead of just treating it like a neat trick they just happen to be good at. https://www.tiktok.com/@justinjmooremusic

Check him out he’s so cool

so so crazy to hear the conversation in the US about "if employees get 1 or god forbid two whole weeks of vacation they will all drop their jobs and leave forever" when all my european friends have jobs with like 3+ week minimum vacation time. Some as many as 6. I know of people with 8 weeks of vacation because they're past a certain age.

"is 10 days of vacation time too much" jump off a fuckin bridge you hack journalist

"i don't care at all about the stock market or know what an estate lawyer is, because i'm not rich 😏" your death will be a nightmare for your loved ones to deal with and their death will be a nightmare for you. if you are an adult i'm not saying you need to have a trustee on standby for your vast fortune but you should at least know what "probate" means

[burins]

this is your reminder that you should make a will. if you are in the US you can make a simple one for free at freewill.com, or willfora.com if you're in Canada. if you need anything complex talk to a lawyer (i promise a consultation with a lawyer is cheaper than probate delays/an extended legal fight.) but these sites will cover your basics (I want my partner to get my car, I want my roommate to get my cat, everything else goes to charity/my other partner/my kids/my next door neighbor who brings me brownies.) the state does not care that you have been estranged from your parents for a decade or have been separated from your spouse the money will go wherever the state says it does UNLESS! you have a will.

freewill also has healthcare directives! if you have ever been concerned about your partner(s) being unable to visit you in the hospital or make medical decisions for you if you are unable to make or communicate your own wishes - especially if you are unmarried/poly - you should have a healthcare directive. they are extremely easy to put together and you can designate multiple people as agents; freewill's tool also lets you designate people you do NOT want making decisions for you (for instance, your very Catholic parents.) if you're outside the US you can search "advanced healthcare directive (country)" and usually find a toolkit; often end of life advocacy-type organizations will have them.

nobody wants to think about these things but even more do you not want your loved ones to have to think about these things, very stressfully and expensively, while they are grieving you. make a will. 🫵

my whole life i lived in a world where "cream" and "soured cream" existed and the difference between them was crystal clear right there in the name, but embarrassingly recently i learned that in my native language aka polish there is no "cream/soured cream" really there's. "śmietana" and "śmietanKA" which translate to "cream" and "small cream"

[yeah yeah in spoken language we do say sour cream, other polish people proszę się nie przypierdalać okej, but I'm talking about the actual product in the store ok none of that shit ever calls itself "soured cream" apart from that one brand that calls itself soured cream in english] anyway knowing which one is which is NOT the issue actually. it's just that. I have a book of handwritten recipes that I collected over the years from different sources and because I was the one writing them down EVERY SINGLE RECIPIE CALLS FOR SOUR CREAM BECAUSE I WAS CALLING EVERYTHING ŚMIETANA

I DIDNT KNOW ŚMIETNA AND ŚMIETANKA ARE DIFFERENT I THOUGHT PEOPLE WERE BEING CUTE. I THOUGHT THEY CAME IN SMALL CONTAINERS WHICH IS WHY PEOPLE CALL IT ITSY BITSY CUTIE CREAM OK

HOW DO I MAKE THIS CHICKEN DISH

[marciaillust]

i have purchased both types of cream. i shall learn which one is the right one for this chicken today

[marciaillust]

fellas they're both good
