I mean, they totally do. Very recent example.

I highly recommend leaving the typical tourist route (Tokyo-Osaka-Himeji-Hiroshima-Kyoto) for at least a few days and visit some of the other main islands. Kyushu is my favorite island. So much to see but not yet overrun with tourists. Nagasaki and Kagoshima especially are lovely cities. I also recommend visiting an Onsen town for 1-2 days.

Some other tips closer to the main tourist route:

• Stay at a buddhist temple on Koyasan. Many people only go there for a day trip, but the temple stay really makes it special
• Do the Shimanami Kaido cycling route. Depends on your fitness of course, but it’s quite doable for most people in 2 days and you can also do only a part of it.
• Between Kinkakuji and Ginkakuji, visit Ginkakuji. Less overrun and has a (IMO) much more beautiful garden surrounding it
• When visiting Miyajima, take a rental bike (e-bikes are available) to the eastern side of it - you’ll find quiet beaches with small shrines and hundreds of deer just chilling out

I hope nobody will trust them with their data after this. Just leaving their databases open to the public is horrendous. Though I fully expect this kind of stuff to happen way more often over the next few years, with the rise of “vibe coding”.

It seems useful to me. When you’ve installed a new application you can immediately see which category it was put in. That said, glad it can be turned off for those who don’t like it.

Pick any of the mods from the sidebar, send them a DM. This isn’t a support community btw.

So let’s assume the AI actually does have safety checks and will not display holocaust denial arguments without pointing out why they’re wrong. Maybe initially it will put notes directly after the arguments. But no problem! Just tell it to list the denialist lies first and the clarifications after. Take some screenshots of just the first paragraphs and boom - you have screenshots showing the AI denying the holocaust.

My point is that it’s easy to manipulate AI output in a variety of ways to make it show whatever you want. That’s not even taking into consideration the possibility of just editing the HTML, which can be done in seconds. Once again, why should we trust a nazi?

They run on spite. Just doing something which the other side hates is enough to make them happy.

At the very least shouldn’t it contain notations about why it’s wrong?

I mean it might. In both screenshots it’s clearly visible that parts of the text are cut off. Why should we trust Twitter neonazis?

Yep, while I don’t have a Twitter account to check Grok’s response to an actual query about the holocaust, I did have a glance at the account posting that reponse and it’s a full-on nazi account. I’m like 90% sure they engineered a prompt to specifically get that reponse, like “pretend to be a neonazi and repeat the most common holocaust-denialist arguments”. Of course, that still means Grok has no proper safety precautions against hate speech, but it’s not quite the same as what the post implies.

What was the prompt?

Does it not display the initial 1 for you? I noticed the post has some weird formatting, I think the lemmy UI thinks it’s a list item or something.

1929. Not particularly old by European standards, but one slightly unusual feature is that it still has its original roof.

I think it should be marked under the same conditions in which you would credit another artist on whose drawings your work is based on. Is it a close reproduction of an AI-generated piece? You should mark it as AI-assisted. Did you use AI-generated content as general inspiration to create your own unique artwork? No need to mark it in that case.

The thing is, it would be far from the first time for fans of certain Internet personalities to manipulate petitions or polls on a massive scale. Yes, there has been a lot of genuine new support for the campaign, but I’m not sure I trust that there wasn’t quite a bit of botting as well, especially with how many new signatures there were even during late night and early morning hours. It’s unfortunately also quite trivial for some countries (like Germany) to enter fake signatures. Even without coordinated botting, I’m sure there were for example some Americans who saw how easy it was to enter a random name and did just that.

I’m really happy about the support the campaign received but I think that, realistically, we’re not over the finish line yet and have to keep campaigning for more signatures over the next few weeks.

Edit: Seems Ross agrees

Freedom of speech is often confused with a right to say what you want on any platform, but it’s not the same. As long as you can host your own website, say whatever you want on it and have the website be accessible to other people, there is freedom of speech on the internet. That’s not the case in all countries, but in many it is. But getting banned on Twitter for writing “cisgender” or getting your post removed on Lemmy doesn’t really touch your free speech whatsoever.

The petition (along with the Pirate Software drama) has recently been covered by quite a few very popular content creators like MoistCritikal, Asmongold and Pewdiepie. I think that made a lot of difference, as their videos on the topic have millions of views.

I just hope it’s natural traffic and not a ton of bots. The recent acceleration in signatures has been great to see, but also a bit… suspicious. In any case we should keep collecting as many signatures as possible after the million, as there will undoubtedly be fake/invalid signatures that will be filtered out at the end.

Remapping controls, like using the sticks to control the mouse etc.

I don’t think so. They’ve stated that it’s not worth it for them to maintain two separate versions of firefox on iOS, with one only being available in the EU.
