25·6 months agoIt’s cheaper though, so very likely it’s more efficient somehow.

Technology@lemmy.world•Grok Reveals Elon Musk Has ‘Tried Tweaking My Responses’ After AI Bot Repeatedly Labels Him a ‘Top Misinformation Spreader’English
6·11 months agoThis is correct.
In this case it is true though. Soon after grok3 came out, there were multiple prompt leaks with instructions to not bad mouth elon or trump
It’s not surprising. Most of Google’s profiling is though the web. They don’t bother with the speakers and stuff too much because they don’t need to.
It’s not very useful anyway, any number of people could be using the speaker, regardless of who is signed in

Technology@lemmy.world•Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead EndEnglish

Technology@lemmy.world•Android is now warning of Firefox sharing dataEnglish
3·11 months agoLol if Google really wanted to kill FF they would just stop paying them half a billion a year.
The correct solution would have been for Mozilla to pursue alternative income a long time ago. Owning a browser gives you a lot of leverage. Instead they made a half-hearted attempt a few years back and half the products failed. I don’t know why FF fans were so comfortable holding them as the savior of the web when they were entirely funded by Google.
And now… well I don’t see a way forward either. Maybe it should just die then.
They’re already dying. This would be throwing themselves in the grave. People aren’t used to paying for browsers

Even violent fantasies about putting billionaires to the guillotine are rendered inept in these online spaces—just another pressure release valve to harmlessly dissipate our rage instead of compelling ourselves to organize and act.

Technology@lemmy.world•Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-GeneratedEnglish
17·1 year agoKeep in mind this is for AI generated TEXT, not the images everyone is talking about in this thread.
Also they used an automated tool, all of which have very high error rates, because detecting AI text is a fundamentally impossible task

Technology@lemmy.world•As US TikTok users move to RedNote, some are encountering Chinese-style censorship for the first timeEnglish
16·1 year agoTwitter and all its alternatives always tend to get inflated coverage because twitter was essentially the journalists’ app, so they write about it more. Bluesky was the first “real” alternative I guess.

Technology@lemmy.world•Is there a community where I can get news about technology as in science, as opposed to "drama involving tech companies"?English
5·1 year agoLittle too programming focused though, not much tech news
That is absolutely not a critical part. One of the primary examples doctorow uses is an online marketplace like Amazon. The missing part is the specific steps the business takes of first trapping consumers, then sellers, and finally raking in that cash.

Technology@lemmy.world•62% of Funded Blockchain and Web3 Companies Attract Fewer Than 100 Monthly Organic VisitorsEnglish
202·2 years ago0.95% of these companies, which is only 64 in total, pull in a massive 461 million visits a month combined. In comparison, the vast majority, the other 99.05%, only get a total of 87 million visits. This huge difference highlights how a small number of companies dominate web traffic in the blockchain sector.
So much for decentralization















That’s a terrible metric. By this providers that maximize hardware (and energy) use by having a queue of requests would be seen as having more energy use.
