nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?1·7 days agoWeird. There used to be screen shot receipts I saw years ago.
Maybe she scrubbed it and turned a leaf? I hope so at least because B’Elanna was my favorite character.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen adsEnglish73·9 days agoThat’s crazy.
Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.
I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I’ve been reading “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford and you’re right. So much of the data that they’re trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it’s probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.
I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn’t a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it’s worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.
I was honestly impressed with the speed and accuracy I was getting with Deepseek, llama, and Gemma on my 1660ti.
$100 used and it was seconds to get responses.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?51·10 days agoIt’s not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references
Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B’Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).
All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with “both sides” arguments.
It’s sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?12·10 days agoGotta protect those Video Game movie deals.
Don’t wanna risk that Ganon cast in the Zelda Movie
I am personally a huge fan of taking advantage of wealthy people.
You don’t really have iPhone 16 pro Max and Air pods money to throw away like this without having a one sided relationship with labor, in my opinion.
But that’s my cynical leftist view.
I imagine the biggest reason to not keep it is fear of your son getting spoiled or demanding gifts from you that are this same caliber.
However, he is 16. Certainly not the most rational age for many people, but he can understand the difference in financial statuses between you and his friend.
I think it would be distressing for you to take away this expensive thing on the grounds of “we’re too poor to have nice things” especially since it was a gift from his best friend. But having that discussion of “hey don’t let that get to your head. I still love you I just could not afford such an expensive gift. Here’s a vague breakdown of our expenses”
My dad had a similar discussion with me when I was getting ready to go to college the first time and he flat out told me how much he and mom made and broke down where the money goes. It really helped me understand our economic position instead of just assuming my parents made a good amount of money (they didn’t)
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why selfhosted social media protocols are hated ?English3·11 days agoDespite everything. I was considering giving it a try, just to see.
But your right, if there’s a CSAM community on there I would inevitably host it to.
So I will not be trying plebbit

This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?2·15 days agoMy avatar is also partially AI generated. I GIMPed the Zizek face from one of his movie posters though.
I’m used to people calling me out for the Zizek part and that hasn’t happened on Lemmy ever lol.
New Player: “My Wizard casts fireball targeting the king!”
Me: “Actually that doesn’t happen y-”
NP: “Did a hidden wizard cast counter spell! I can-”
Me: “No I just won’t let you do that. Try to ruin our game again and I’ll ban you from the discord.”
Np: “Oh.”
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What tv shows would be more enjoyable slowed-down?3·15 days agoThere are so many pieces of media that need much slower pacing. The Sequel Star wars movies for one.

nagaram@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How I’m building a micro-income system using GPT + PayhipEnglish3·16 days agoChecked the videos you posted
This is just a ChatGPT front end isn’t it?
More I’m even more curious what you’re doing here. Are you selling access to your own API key for $30? Why LMAO
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How I’m building a micro-income system using GPT + PayhipEnglish6·16 days agoOkay so it’s something I can use to automate some sort of data processing and then be compensated for it.
How is it processing the data?
Where am I getting the data?
What is it doing to the data?
Who is paying me for processed data?
Linux everywhere and then Windows VM labeled “Shitty Spyware Do Not Open”
Whack. I just set up a Forgejo too.
