Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think the current crop of AI and its users would look like if there was literally zero profit incentive at all steps?
1·1 day agoThe only companies making a profit are the chip manufacturers https://isaiprofitable.com/ so there is already no profit incentive.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•New to privacy and de-googling, why is DDG recommended over Brave?
10·1 day agoI always recommend https://noai.duckduckgo.com/%s because I’m trying to find results without AI/LLM. Nearly all search engines, including Brave, have AI results as a default. Sure, I can disable the AI results in the engine’s settings but it’s reset the next time I open my browser.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•You see "14 year old developer" and you're impressed until you read on and realize the little fucker is just paying Claude to slopcode the entire thing for him
11·2 days agoI don’t use Brave.
The other two, I hate to admit it, work very well.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Students forced to use AI or lose Google Search
1·2 days agoAny school banning AI, should also ban Google search. It’s nearly all AI results now anyway, from what I hear.
The page uses Google fonts - 🤣🤣
This mostly is a problem in late summer when it’s still very warm in the daytime but cools down at night. I only have one window in my bedroom so the room stays warm at night even if it’s cool outside.
During the day, I can cool the room to a comfortable level but the heat builds up as the night goes on without the AC. By 2 or 3am, it’s too warm to sleep.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Looking for Ethical & Privacy-Respecting Free or freemium AI Alternatives
71·2 days agoI don’t know of any AI that isn’t trained on stolen data.
Perfect Aire 5000 btu window air conditioner. Its rated to work down to 18c outside.
I had another ac that pushed warm air when the temperature dripped to 18c
But this one keeps pushing cool air when the outside temps are as low as 13c.

14·2 days agoI will, thanks.
Edit:
Brave gets an F with 47 Claude or Copilot commits.
Cake Wallet gets and A+ with 48 Claude commits.
Notesnook is in S tier with 8 commits from Copilot.
Not a fan of how they score.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What dream job would you have wanted to do in your life, but can't?
3·2 days agoDesigning custom items for the elderly and handicapped seems like a fulfilling pass time. This is something that would have to be mostly done for free or very low cost.

19·2 days agoI’ve gotten in the habit of looking at all software for LLM commits on their Github page.
Block the super niche crap-holes.
Use an app, such as Thunder for Android, and put some keywords in the filter. No posts with those words will show up again.
Thunder will also allow you to label users. I mostly do this when I block someone so I have a reminder of why I blocked them.
Good for the bigtech fighting these laws. Parents should be protecting their children.
If governments want to get involved:
- Educate parents about the dangers online and what to do about it.
- It could regulate the addictive features of social media. The result would be a safer internet for everyone without anyone having to KYC themselves.
- If #2 isn’t an option, force all computer manufactures to add in parental controls that automatically turn off when the user gets to the age of maturity.
I have doubts if any privacy companies are going to advocate for age verification. The very idea is anti-privacy.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Proton removed post on UserVoice calling for Andy Yen to step down
8·4 days agoDoesn’t surprise me, given recent Proton news.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your weird talent that you almost never show anyone?
2·4 days agoI have an internal CAD. It’s very useful when building something like a deck for my home. Technically, I show no one this. They only see the end result.
I use Thunder and it’s the same for me.
I see your post both here on Lemmy and on Mastadon.
Oh. Thanks for that. I didn’t realize.
Edit: I checked with another browser, not logged in, and I do see the flags. So odd.

First, fuck Israel.
Having said that, timezones exist. Its 2 pm in Israel v 8am in California.
She has to start with their Israel office before they close for the day.
