The waiting list is still very long at this point. Probably don’t expect to get in for like 2 weeks…

What you see on Bluesky is a lot of people using their own domains for their handles. They are not hosting their own instances though, it’s only their identities. Their connection to the AT protocol still goes through the central Bluesky server.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, the way their model is set up, it costs a lot to host a federated server so no one is doing it.

The statistics thing is a downside of how Mastodon implements ActivityPub.

Two possibilites:

1. I think you can simply hide the counts if it irritates you.

2. You can install Fedifetcher to pull in missing interactions to your local server: https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher

This is the US, minors posting themselves would also lead to arrests.

(And the actual platform with a reputation for minors selling their nudes would be Snapchat)

The article explains it in one case, an adult woman verified the account and then they posted a minor’s videos on it instead.

But the article also said that they only know about 30 cases in 5 years in the US. Which doesn’t sound like a huge amount to me personally (still too many obviously)

Yeah.

Diaz set up an account and had a woman verify it as hers. That woman, whom police didn’t identify, later quit OnlyFans. But her account remained live and accessible to Diaz. He filled it with videos of the underage girl

That’s really not easy to catch, no matter what platform you are. Some people will do complicated shit to evade the eyes of the law for their illicit activities.

Afaik nearly every feature/product Mozilla has shipped with Firefox in the past has been optional. So surely these will be as well.

My bad. Doesnt change what I mean though: the AI should not say “it’s also great to put glue on the pizza” - it should either not reference that at all or say “fucksmith on reddit recommends glue on pizza”.

The main field where they are already actively in professuonal use are rough drafts in creative fields: quickly generate possible outlines for a text, a speech, an art piece. Visualize where something could be going, in order to decide which direction to pick.

Also, models that work differently from the GPTs are already in use in science, scanning through huge amounts of texts in archives to help analyzing or search for something in particular. Help find patterns in things for studies. Etc.

The “personal assistant AI” thing obviously isnt quite working yet. I think it will take some time and models with a different technological structure (not GPT) to achieve progress in that regard.

IMO these issues are mainly with the interface / how the AI summaries are presented.

The issue with incorrect answers like the glue on pizza one isnt “hallucination”. The LLM is pulling that info from an existing webpage (The Onion). The thing they need to change is how that info is portrayed. Not “one tip is to use glue”, but rather “the satirical site the Onion says to use glue”.

Hallucination should be combatted by the fact that the AI cant show a proper source for facts it made up itself.

I think it used to allow all kinds of erotic content and fetish stuff, just not outright porn.

Are you really comparing young boys to billionaires? Wtf is wrong with you?

Yes, there are fewer boys who are affected by this than girls. But they are in no way privileged in their every day life if they become victims of this.

Tbf from the short time I’ve been on bluesky it seems like their algorithms are very good, I have followed the people I’m interested in and seen 0 nazi posts so far
