Yeah, that’s likely why I don’t even remember him being there. My guess is they mentioned his role in Harry Potter to make his relationship to Rowling more relevant to the story.

Headline blasted by grammar “Nazis” for having “too many” quotes to be taken serious

Didn’t even know he was in it, so I had to look it up. Apparently he played Barty Crouch Jr. in the Goblet of Fire.

I was only one or two in the red and it’s three downvotes total. I wouldn’t exactly call that a brigade.

Guess it was just a slow burner then

I would hope so, since it’s THEIR hardware it’s running on (or in case it’s rented, responsible for).

But as long as they don’t put anything iffy into the code and leave their political opinions separate from that, they can certainly run their own instance however they please. That’s the whole point of Lemmy after all.

Thank you, I tried.

Tough crowd, eh?

I’m not sure if He knows Rust well enough to do that, and having some sort of background in infosec would likely also be helpful.

I mean, we should probably care at least enough to make sure they’re not smuggling in any backdoors that would allow them take over the entire Lemmyverse.

I know it’s open source so that’s somewhat difficult to accomplish but not impossible (see the recent stealth attack on SSH/OpenSSL). At the very least, it requires people from outside their echo chamber to regularly review commits being made made before admins begin rolling out new updates.

I like how it calls the captcha an “IQ test”.

You mean captchas? Sure, that’s an old hat, they’ve been doing that for a decade now.

This is one of those newer systems though that doesn’t rely on a captcha, it’s just a checkbox you have to click that says “I’m human” next to it, and it does some JavaScript magic or whatever to figure out if it’s true. Not really sure how it works TBH.

Technically a good point, but we’re talking natural language here, and the goal would be to restrict the discussion to only a particular domain, not predict whether an outcome can be achieved or not.

At the current state of AI proliferation, you can literally enter you prompt into the product assistant chatbox on Amazon and get the same result you’d get from their web app.

I even remember a post a few months ago where someone did this to the chatbot on a car dealership’s website. Apparently, they currently don’t have any input filters (which would likely require yet another layer of AI to avoid making it overly restrictive), they just hook those things up straight to the main pipe and off you go.

I mean, it probably wants to make sure you’re using the API for programmatic access so they can charge you for it instead of having you abuse the free tier.

Not sure if they’re still around, but in the early days, before the API was released, there were some libraries that simply accessed the browser interface to let you programmatically create chat completions. I believe the first ChatGPT Twitter bot was implemented like that.

This post isn’t so much about whether it’s necessary from a technical standpoint (it likely is), it’s just an observation on the sheer irony and annoyance of it being that way, that’s all.

Well, I just did. Here’s the response:

I’m sorry if it feels like I’m questioning your humanity! I’m just programmed to ensure a safe and productive interaction. Sometimes I ask for confirmation to ensure I’m talking to a human and not a machine or a bot. But I’m here to chat and assist you with whatever you need!

Not sure what I was expecting except the usual machine mind evasiveness.

Haha

Someone just needs to make a GPU-accelerated JSON decoder
