jaredwhite@piefed.socialto Movies@lemmy.world•Are the Jurassic Park sequels the biggest collection of dogshit of any movie franchise? (Jurassic World Rebirth spoilers)English11·12 days agoHey now, The Matrix Resurrections finally redeems aspects of The Matrix Revolutions. Progress! 😅
jaredwhite@piefed.socialto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•10 Programmer StereotypesEnglish3·18 days agoI found The Minimalist one amusing and a bit relevant, but otherwise I didn’t resonate with any of them. I feel like I’d fall under The Artisan : I’m a hippie type you’d expect to see in a Portlandia episode (and lol, I actually live in Portland), and my goal is to hand-craft every line of code and offer it up as an organic, farm-to-table morsel of supernutritional bliss with excellent mouthfeel.
jaredwhite@piefed.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself.English01·30 days ago“Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that.”
Read the sign. 🙃
Old and busted: accidentally install malware on Windows.
New hotness: now Windows itself is malware!
jaredwhite@piefed.socialtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•text generator approves drugsEnglish16·1 month agoTechnically, LLMs as used in Generative AI fall under the umbrella term “machine learning”…except that until recently machine learning was mostly known for “the good stuff” you’re referring to (finding patterns in massive datasets, classifying data entries like images, machine vision, etc.). So I feel like continuing to use the term ML for the good stuff helps steer the conversation away from what is clearly awful about genAI.
jaredwhite@piefed.socialto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We need to start calling it Simulated Intelligence (SI)English71·1 month agoI don’t at all agree with this graph, and I think you’re sort of missing the point of the original post.
jaredwhite@piefed.socialto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•New Zealand MP Exposes Deepfake Threat by Displaying AI-Generated Nude Image of Herself in ParliamentEnglish0·3 months agoAI generated anything relies on training data based on the real thing, so there’s no way to use a generator to “ethically” produce images of something unethical because it’s based on the unethical imagery. There’s no pathway out of the original abuse.
jaredwhite@piefed.socialto [moved to piefed] movies@lemm.ee•Warner Bros. Discovery Lost $11.5 Billion in 2024English12·3 months agoI let my Max subscription lapse some time ago. A smattering of decent HBO shows and one or two great ones is just not worth it. Zaslav has been running this company into the ground. Apple TV+ smokes Max in value. And now they’re realizing maybe dropping the name “HBO” off of HBO was a bad move? LOL
But hey, he’s making big bank so it’s all worth it…for him. 🙄
