AI is being used to give dead, missing kids a voice they didn’t ask for
  • Yes, the people making the crime shows make real money.

    It's also not a deepfake but quite fake looking AI generated stuff. And childlike synthesized voiceovers.

    I frankly find making a whole tv production with actors,directors etc far more disturbing.

  • Φιλόλογοι σε εκπτώσεις
  • Οχι μόνο ο ατομικισμος, αλλά κ η άγνοια, η χειραγώγηση, η ανασφάλεια, η παραίτηση, η ανελευθερια, η ανισότητα, η καταπίεση, η εγκληματικοτητα, ο ναρκισσισμος ακόμα, δεν είναι όλα αυτά συνέπειες μιας πνευματικής και ηθικής κατάπτωσης;

    Ναι, το θέμα είναι εάν πράγματι έχουν αυξηθεί όλα αυτά.

    Δεν ξέρω αν ποτέ έφερνε χρήμα η ενασχόληση με τις ανθρωπιστικες επιστήμες. Το κοινωνικό κύρος συμφωνώ ότι υπήρξε κίνητρο.

    Συμφωνώ πως ήταν περισσότερο το κύρος και ίσως η σιγουριά το δημοσίου για κάποιους.

    Όπως κ με την ιατρική κάποτε. Οσοι τη σπούδαζαν, για το χρήμα ή το κύρος το έκαναν;

    Και για τα δύο και δυστυχώς μεγάλο ποσοστό χωρίς καθόλου μέτρο.

  • Φιλόλογοι σε εκπτώσεις
  • Οκ οπότε συμφωνείς πως υπάρχει μια πνευματική και ηθική έκπτωση με τον δημοσιογράφο αλλά όχι στο ποια είναι αυτή.

    Ως παράδειγμα στο σχόλιο σου βλέπω την ενίσχυση του ατομικισμού και του καπιταλιστικού/καταναλωτικού τρόπου ζωής. Ως αίτιο όμως θεωρείς την έλειψη χρημάτων στις ανθρωπιστικές επιστήμες. Μήπως λοιπόν και παλαιότερα τα κίνητρα ήταν για μεγάλο κομμάτι των ασχολούμενων με ανθρωπιστικές επιστήμες πάλι η χρηματική αποκατάσταση; Ή η, κατά τη γνώμη μου όχι πολύ καλύτερη, επιδίωξη ενός στάτους;

  • Φιλόλογοι σε εκπτώσεις
  • εξάπλωση του διανοητικού βούρκου, της πολιτικής ορθότητας

    Δου αράδες πάνω:

    Τον καιρό εκείνο ήταν αδιανόητο να ακούσεις κάποια μητέρα να σου λέει ότι ο γιος της πάει στο Αρσάκειο. Το άκουσα πριν από χρόνια, σε παιδικό πάρτι όπου συνόδευα την κόρη μου.

  • Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible
  • I think some people must be young and have not witnessed the late 90s, early 00s, before Firefox.

    You had way more new users whose only notion of the internet was the blue e icon. Macs were less popular and of course there were no smartphones.

    Microsoft pulled all the bullshit. "Extending" the standards so standards compliant browsers would not work, serving broken pages on non IE browsers and convincing an enormous amount of moron webmasters to tell you to go "upgrade" to IE while your browser could perfectly render their site.

    Yet Firefox did break that stranglehold.

    But you need to connect with people. Don't try to do it via relatively abstract concepts such as privacy or freedom. Tell them that they won't be able to block any ads in a year or so if they keep using Chrome. That they won't be able to download whatever they want.. etc etc.

  • Mastodon's decentralized social network has a major CSAM problem | Engadget
  • Votes are federated. They are tied to account names. Only your instance can tie them to your IP.

    DMs are insecure in that admin instances can read them. Most instances tell you not to use them.

    Scraping is more resource intensive than using an API to have data submitted to you. Since you are now offering a service you can set terms on what you can legally do with that data while scraping can lead to legal issues. PR issues as well.

    In general using a corporate social media will allow companies to track you (or buy the tracking data from the social media company) far more thoroughly than scraping lemmy.

  • Mozilla opposes Web Integrity API proposal
  • Ads. To be precise this on it's own provides a way for servers to be certain of the environment the pages run (browser, plugins, os). Protecting ads or other functions come from servers refusing unattested configurations or configurations they don't like (i.e. running adblock, running firefox, running linux).

  • Mastodon's decentralized social network has a major CSAM problem | Engadget
  • Given new commercial entrants into the Fediverse such as WordPress, Tumblr and Threads, we suggest collaboration among these parties to help bring the trust and safety benefits currently enjoyed by centralized platforms to the wider Fediverse ecosystem

    In such a system, the server on which a post originates would submit imagery to PhotoDNA for analysis

    This same technique could also be applied to other hosted media analysis mechanisms (e.g. Google’s SafeSearch or Microsoft’s Analyze Image API40

    While large social media providers utilize signals such as browser User-Agent, TLS fingerprint,8 IP and many other mechanisms to determine whether a previously suspended bad actor is attempting to re-create an account, Mastodon admins have little to work with apart from a user’s IP and e-mail address, both of which are easily fungible.

    So basically people might have joined the fediverse in large due to privacy reasons but if fediverse is to be "ethical" it should share your images with big tech as well as track you better.
