‘One Grok user ask[ed] the question, “which 20th-century figure would be best suited to deal with this problem (anti-white hate)”, received the anti-Semitic response: “To deal with anti-white hate? Adolf Hitler, no question.”’
It’s a nazi chat bot!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is entertainment getting worse or am I getting old?
4·2 days agoYes it has definitely gotten worse. I haven’t seen anything good at the cinemas or on TV for a long time.
The last movie I really liked was Nightcrawler. The last TV show I got into was Better Call Saul.
Where are all the artists these days? They seem to have been replaced by people who only know how to churn out the same repetitive boring dribble?
OK I guess this is my time to say hi!
So, hi!
I created a community for my erotic fiction on the lemmynsfw site. This is the link: https://lemmynsfw.com/c/DominatingChloe
I would love to hear your thoughts if you are into such things.
“It usually takes me 30-40 minutes to find the strengh to post something. How others will react to it, or is it even meaningful to post it, I find myself facing theses questions as much irl as online.”
Just remember everybody is anonymous and the votes don’t really matter!
Also I can guarantee you that no one else will scrutinize what you say as much as you do. Mostly they will not even remember!

6·2 days agoI assume the ACCC but nothing is really spelled out in this article. Whether that is the article’s fault or the loose way the regulations seem to be written I do not know.

Australia@aussie.zone•How Australia's social media ban threatens free expressionEnglish
4·3 days agoThat once again politicians just don’t know what they are doing but need to at least pretend they are doing something good. This is probably fairly close to the truth.
Turdburglar has the right idea too, that it’s about selling age verification as another service. Sounds about right. Corporations would charge us to breathe if they could.

Australia@aussie.zone•How Australia's social media ban threatens free expressionEnglish
4·3 days agoDepends what you believe. The more cynical believe it is about connecting real identities with online comments.
The more generous believe it’s about safety.
I think this is absolutely the wrong way to go about things though.

Australia@aussie.zone•MegaThread: Australian Social Media Ban - Under 16 lockout/verification/ID requiredEnglish
5·6 days agoSounds like the ban didn’t work very well !
Here are some other comments from parents who contacted the ABC as part of an audience call-out looking at the immediate impacts of the social media ban:
“My son opened TikTok this morning and received this message: ‘The social media ban has come into effect. Your age is estimated to be 18 years old.’ He is 11.” — David, Vic
“My 13-year-old son has passed the age verification face scan by hiding his teeth and scrunching up his face. It guessed his age as 30+. In real life he passes for a 10-year-old.” — Matt, Qld
“My son is almost 16 and has been kicked off Snapchat already on the 9th December but my daughter who is 14 still hasn’t been asked to verify her age on the app. We know multiple children who are 13 who passed the Face ID scan.” — Melissa, WA
“My 13-year-old daughter still has access to all her social media accounts this morning, and she verified her age via facial scanning. I am hoping that they are still working their way through and she will be booted off soon. If not then it’s a fail for us.” — Alison, NSW
“I am under the age of 16 and have not been banned on any platform. Many of my friends in my grade are also under 16 and not one of them has been banned yet.” — Julius, Qld

Australia@aussie.zone•MegaThread: Australian Social Media Ban - Under 16 lockout/verification/ID requiredEnglish
3·7 days agoYep looks like many sites haven’t actually implemented the age verification at all.
Social media platforms are still allowing users who declare themselves to be under 16 to sign up for new accounts, despite Australia’s world-first social media ban coming into effect today.
…
testing by The Australian Financial Review found Meta platforms Facebook, Instagram and Threads, as well as Snapchat, TikTok and X were the only platforms to prohibit users signing up if they listed their age as under 16. As of 6am AEDT, the Financial Review created accounts on video streaming platforms Kick and Twitch despite listing the user age as below 16. Several hours after establishing the account, Kick prompted the user to verify their age, but the app remains fully accessible at this stage without verification.
Likewise, online forum Reddit – which said it would comply with law but is preparing a potential legal challenge to the new regulations – did not require users to input their age at all while setting up an account, with adult “18+ content” on the platform filtered using a toggle in the app’s settings without any age verification. On YouTube, owned by Google parent Alphabet, users can set up an account while listing their age as under 16 and comment and watch videos. Viewers can watch YouTube and TikTok without logging on, but even the under-16 account created by the Financial Review was able to easily access explicit content. While Facebook, Instagram and Threads, Snapchat, TikTok and X prevented people under 16 from signing up, all 10 social platforms let the Financial Review create accounts that listed an age of 18 without any further age verification.

2·7 days agoHave any adults had trouble verifying on any platforms ?
Which platforms have prompted you to verify? None have asked me yet.


Yes this seems to be the case

OpenAI in particular sounds very unprofitable and keeping it running another 10 years will take a lot of cash injections. I wonder how long before investors give up on it? Probably less than 10 years.
