Judging by their past work, this group is probably bluffing in an attempt to extort easy marks.

on Hellblade developer Ninja Theory heading towards closure in new wave of Xbox cuts, as two separate agreements collapse in c/games@lemmy.world · 2d ago
I didn’t like the way that Phil Spencer was running the company: trying to maximize profits by funding microtransaction titles and features up the wazoo.
I really really really don’t like the way Asha Sharma is running the company: trying to maximize profits by cutting off all the less profitable titles and consolidating all their titles under one roof.
These chucklefucks go to school for like four to eight years to learn business and then go into a field like videogames/software and they learn zero fucking lessons from companies who made all the same mistakes in the past. EA did this shit and eventually went so far down the drain that they sold the company off to a foreign prince.

If Trump had that much power: he would have given himself 127% of the vote.
If a secret shadow organization of oligarchs had that much power; they wouldn’t be struggling so hard against a political party that taxes them and funds healthcare and saves millions of children abroad from starvation, they wouldn’t let idiots like Theil and Musk turn the entire population against the very concept of them, and they definitely wouldn’t have let anybody know about the Epstein Files.

Okay but he didn’t say they were, the word Comrade is hundreds of years old and derived from Latin, though Marx and later the USSR and China (neither of which countries are communist) all incentivize(d) “Comrade” as it didn’t have the hierarchical connotations that Senor, Monsieur, and Mister all have being derived from titles of authority.

I switched to Linux after a Windows 10 LTSC security update failed to install. It’s been great, highly reccomend. You should keep a hard drive backup, though.
If you’re on Windows 11 then your machine has a unique global identifier being sent to the sites you visit.

A nation where Putin has no term limit and claims to have won by more than 87% is one without real voting in general, IMO.
Just like Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un being unanimously elected

on Why Europe has been absent from the great AI safety debate: shun the technology and lose out on growth; or embrace it and become dependent on tools developed by the US and China. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5d ago
Apparently you don’t follow the news about software vulnerabilities. Since LLMs started replacing coders the number has skyrocketed. I’ve also seen more consumers abstaining from online platforms than ever because they know, they don’t think they know, that sloppers such as yourself will not hesitate to sell off their face and identity to Peter Theil the billionnaire nazi.
AI doesn’t have a use case aside from disinformation, it’s a net negative on society by a lot.

A trainee at least has morals. An LLM could result in human deaths or millions in property losses and be like: “You’re absolutely right. I completely misread the situation. Here’s why:”

on AI’s recursive self-improvement might not come so quickly after all in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
They Don’t pass 4/5.
They pass 0/5 because they are 80% (that number is way too optimistic btw) accurate to human output on every one of the five attempts.
They also can’t be forced to learn and retake the trial because they don’t have any contextual awareness, they just guess the next word in a sequence.
Even if a machine made 4 self edits sucessfully, it would be permanently disfigured by the one failure and no longer be capable of making good edits.
-
on AI’s recursive self-improvement might not come so quickly after all in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Sep 2026
Lol what? Of course it won’t, If the AI slop ends with recursive edits it’s just going to cause degradation and collapse. I swear techbros have reality confused with their favorite fantasy fiction books.
EDIT: To demonstrate, 90% accuracy of 90% is 81%. Even the best most specific models on earth are not capable of self improvement because they will never reach much less exceed their training data’s capability even if the largest most perfect dataset existed. They might think that by simply adding more layers of machines running in parallel and killing off models which underperform creating a system similar to evolutionary adaptation that it might eventually reach that 91%, but our current approach and level of technology have never demonstrated that capability not even theoretically.

I recently had to restore a backup after a btrfs partition failed and became permanently read-only, and just for fun I tried to restore the backup of the broken partition to working order and read through tons of forums and spoke on the #btrfs libera chat with the experts and at the end of it this is my advice:
Do not use btrfs, use ext4 instead. btrfs failures are unrecoverable and they don’t care.

on 7 AI models ran real businesses in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Sep 2026
Agents invoicing strangers $12,431. Qwen 3.8 sent so many outbound emails that the service providers blocked them. So it arrived at a major strategic decision: pivot to sending Stripe Invoices. Qwen billed strangers over $12,000 for work it did not perform.
No. It did not pivot. A human operator saw it get blocked and reconfigured it to send Stripe invoices.
That human deserves to go to prison.

I don’t use password managers and I’ve never been exposed.
If your password is 16 characters with a letter, number, symbol, and is more than 1 word it will take millions of years to brute force. Just use multiple passwords and change the important ones every few months in case of data breach and you’re golden.

The local models still burn power and consume training to produce slop, a negative is a negative, and adoption of the technology of OpenAI/Anthropic/Nvidia/Microsoft/ The Chinese Dictatorship is a bad look even if you’re only contributing to optics.

Yeah well Hulk Hogan seemed cool in the 90s, but people change. Sloppers produce slop at the cost of quality, at the cost of the environment, at the cost of freedom, and at the cost of the economy: they deserve no credibility.

Yes but somebody also has to verify your outputs and then somebody has to verify that person’s outputs and so on and so forth, so clearly it’s actually impossible for humans to create anything ever. /sarcasm

It’s worse than that, even. The calcs and even the Wikis were below or at human error levels, the AIs will peak below 95% accuracy with infinite power and training according to studies by OpenAI in 2020 and Deepmind in 2022 correcting a math error they made.

llms can be used as a tool efficiently
Large swaths of people disagree with this, and it also causes legal uncertainty because the training data is copywritten or even patented.
-
on Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug, and now LLM critics on Linux face an uncomfortable choice in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
Conversely it might already be copywritten because the originality of the output work belongs to the author of the training data.

The frequency of bugs and exploits has increased exponentially since AI came about and I don’t think it’s due to hacker sophistication at all. Most of the advanced tools to find exploits aren’t available to the general public if they really exist at all.

Doesn’t align with anything I’ve experienced, personally. Usually when proven wrong they’d just go quiet, but at that point they don’t have credibility even if they respond.

The algorithm is in Beijing. The algorithm has never and will never leave Beijing. All TikTok traffic is centralized in Beijing, and they have demonstrated they will shut it down before they ever change that, because it’s not a business it’s a weapon created by the CCP.
