Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe by default IRC is only logged if the client opts to log it. I don’t remember being able to see message history when joining a channel back in the day, so I’m not sure if servers themselves keep logs by default.
Having done it for a living for a few months, you cannot possibly imagine how bad it gets.
No, seriously. I already had very little faith in humanity going in, and thought I’d seen the worst the internet had to offer. Scraping the actual bottom of the barrel is difficult to even describe. I had to force a stunned sense of humor about it to detach myself a bit as a coping mechanism.
As divisive as it would be, I think that would be a good thing overall…
It reminds me of the literacy test to use Kingdom of Loathing’s chat features.
If they were any more inbred, they’d be a sandwich.
if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.
Was that supposed to speak to some part of my comment…?
It seems like a complete non sequitur to me.
I am WAY too unqualified to understand any of the technical stuff, so I’ll be waiting to hear thoughts from experts on this one. It looks like if there are no major flaws in it this is a great thing for the platform overall.
I am a bit out of the loop in terms of RDBMS history, what do you mean by MySQL refugees?
If functionality exists in the client app, there’s nothing to be done to stop someone from bypassing checks.
Looking into it further this looks like it’s an API between the backend of a service and Google though. That would be difficult to defeat, but you could probably spoof the identity of the requesting device with enough effort
It’s not like dedicated people aren’t going to be able to just patch out the calls to this API from the apps themselves…
This feels like yet another attempt at DRM that is doing more harm than help.
Damn, you’re living in the future. I’m still stuck using three shells.
Well today I learned, thanks for the correction.
They’re pretty reasonable for consensus-based programming prompts as well like “Compare and contrast popular libraries for {use case} in {language}” or “I want to achieve {goal/feature} in {summary of project technologies}, what are some ways I could structure this?”
Of course you still shouldn’t treat any of the output as factual without verifying it. But at least in the former case, I’ve found it more useful than traditional search engines to generate leads to look into, even if I discard some or all of the specific information it asserts
Edit: Which is largely due to traditional search engines getting worse and worse in recent years, sadly
The “P” is for predictive, not pre-trained. Generative Predictive Text
Edit: Nope I was wrong.
This is the best article I’ve seen yet on the topic. It does mention the “how” in brief, but this analogy really explains the “why” Gonna bookmark this in case I ever need to try to save another friend or family member from drinking the Flavor-Aid
What are some of the popular Matrix clients that you’ve seen have this problem? And are they open source?
I’ve been curious about Matrix for a while as a potential Discord replacement, but haven’t actually tried it. Might be interesting to check it out and see whether I can contribute to one of the clients somehow.
Darkness in science often means mystery. But mysteries can be answers in and of themselves—at least, until you dig even deeper.
Dark, darker, yet darker…
Oh hey, I never thought I’d see somebody who’s the target audience for those AI generated social media sites in the wild :P
