Accuracy of this post aside, would anyone be surprised if many of the cartel leaders are on a cia payroll?
I am not alleging that to be any truth, but i would digest that information like a weather report claiming rain when you’re still soaking wet from having been outside.
I know a story, not sure what tv show it was but there was a lot of drugs in it that was usually always fake.
Except somehow the day snoopdog did a cameo on it, then suddenly the fake weed was replaced by real.
Security then came in and people freaked out but apparently they were just being unprofessional and wanted a signature.
Someone else can probably tell us what show it was and provide a source to this story. I can’t
The Israel State committing genocide is horrible but how is this relevant to Sutkevers start up and AI?
The only slivers of an Israel connection i could find are.
Sutskever was born in the Soviet Union moved to Israel at the age of 5 and lived there till he was 16 before moving to Canada.
The picture they used in the article was taken at a university in Israel 2 years ago when he was still a part of OpenAI.
The startup does have offices in Palo Alto (US) and Tel Aviv (Israel) but thats a silicon valley kinda place, literally all the major tech players have an office there. And i fully agree that is something we should be skeptical about, but its not something you can single American company out on.
Source? Sutskever is a ex OpenAi founder and the one who tried to oust Alman for being to corporate.
There is no need to communicate like this. I actually had already learned about this app and checked it out yesterday on a different community with way less people and there was no article there. I just saw the opportunity of this post as way to discuss it.
I like to make a few things clear that seem to cause confusion.
I made my post in full understanding that it probably does not feature a “preference based algorithm”, trying it out did not gave it the impression it did. But i want to be more sure there is nothing along those lines included and tried to engage in discussion about the need for preferential settings. Its somewhere between a genuine and rhetoric question.
Call me pedantric, trough i prefer autistic but “algoritm” has like i explained a specific meaning to me. Its mathematical formula for a specific purpose. The app in question is code, code is math. Randomizing code (which are never truly random btw) uses an algorithm. You can not tell me that the app uses NO algorithm, well oc you can but to my brain that does not compute. Any form of customizing the feed, even a hack, would be algorithmic in nature.
I disagree this (and many things) require a full fledged article, just a clear few line description or like including those quotes you put up here would do for me. I know the internet likes to make everything into “news” but i don’t have to like or partake in that. I prefer to spend my time engaging on lemmy about the topic directly because that (this diverted discussion included) helps it grow.
Its not presented as being specifically made without.
There is plenty of room for more ethical algorithms and to get technical. It definitely does have a algorithm.
A very basic formula that simulates randomness to pick one Wikipedia page after the other.
I just wish i could customize that to my interests. So for example it favors articles tagged as ancient mythology and minimizes politicians from the 90s
I understand their stance but it is a bit sad because if i could tailor it to my interests i absolutely would use it all the time.
Wikipedia is massive there is way more that i don’t want to read then there is that i do.
Personally i think there is roam for a “not insane, Fully transparent and user controlled” algorithm but also that would take a lot of developer effort.
Does it have an algorithm of some kind?
I usually hate them but for something safe like wikipedia i would love to have it tailored to my interests.
My HA is not port forwarded and only accessible when connected to the home network.
I have a private backdoor tunneling into my network with self hosted vpn so i can use it away from home.
Integrations i use come in two types relative to your question. But all of them involve giving HA acces to the controls and data. Not the opposite. I have never heard of an integrations that required data from HA.
The biggest tell on what is what is does the intended way to control the device make use of any cloud. If your device does not require a cloud or account and you can connect it to the integration with just an ip it should all be local.
But many integrations will require you to provide the credentials for a cloud because it’s easier. In that case you are not any more exposed then if you use the vanilla apps.
For my solar panels i could use the cloud but i convinced the technician to give me admin rights enabling a local api i can use instead. That cloud stuff is still there, cant disable it but it means i can still read my solar panels in case of an internet blackout.
If i could all my devices would be blocked from talking to the outside and all use local apis for control but its sadly not how most stuff is build. For stuff like cameras i wont even consider it unless they do though.
Shameless plug for Navidrome
Self host all your Music in docker. Any old laptop can handle it.
No subscription, No ads, No tracking. All your music available in any browser and quite a few apps.
Not for s second do I believe this was a accidental oversight.
I am sure they had very good reasons, all alligned with their actual interests with no thought spared to even consider consequences for small fish users.
Doesn’t seem like that was his goal.
Feels more like a ¯_(ツ)_/¯ reaction on the bid.
That said, cant rule out that its all theater to obscure the fact that Sam recently endorsed Trump and is working close with government, just less visibly then Musk.
