And the dime!

A real nuisance for all those AI datasets, huh?

We still don’t use bike helmets here in the Netherlands

Few people expected the current madness

It’s more like a blurry flash to me

I think the following happened:

1. The webcam of the laptop of some random girl got hacked and someone secretly took pictures
2. Someone used those pictures for spam
3. Someone made an edit with a dead body using a random image of the internet

I think the latest message is just from a random psycho that either wants attention or likes to see how people react.
I therefore suggest the following:

1. Ruin their “fun” by locking the community, preventing people from making further comments and preventing any discussion about it (make sure to keep an informative post up that summarizes this to avoid discussion spilling to other communities)
2. Contact instance admins to be on the lookout to ensure a swift removal, some might be able to help other admins with image filters.

A picture of a partially naked dead body was posted with the normal text below. It’s most likely an unrelated edit with a picture taken from the internet made by some moron who thought it was funny.

The DM was deleted within 15 minutes after seeing it

They’re not lying, I also got it

I just remembered I still have an old gmail address, I should probably change those things over to my new addresses.

I also privated some communities and they renamed them to some random characters instead.

I don’t know, but here’s a list of instances https://joinpeertube.org/instances

Still not that great, I rely on the companion to redirect me to channels through YouTube.

Everyone should check out PeerTube sometime, the UX has improved a lot and there’s a decent amount of content too. I recommend installing the PeerTube Companion app. It shows a popup on YouTube if you’ve clicked on a video that is also available on PeerTube.

For other people who didn’t know what Haaretz was:

Haaretz (Hebrew: הָאָרֶץ, lit. ‘The Land [of Israel]’; originally Ḥadshot Haaretz – Hebrew: חַדְשׁוֹת הָאָרֶץ, IPA: [χadˈʃot haˈʔaʁets], lit. ‘News of the Land [of Israel]’) is an Israeli newspaper. It was founded in 1918, making it the longest running newspaper currently in print in Israel. The paper is published in Hebrew and English in the Berliner format, and is also available online. In North America, it is published as a weekly newspaper, combining articles from the Friday edition with a roundup from the rest of the week. Haaretz is Israel’s newspaper of record. It is known for its left-wing and liberal stances on domestic and foreign issues.

As of 2022, Haaretz has the third-largest circulation in Israel. It is widely read by international observers, especially in its English edition, and discussed in the international press. According to the Center for Research Libraries, among Israel’s daily newspapers, “Haaretz is considered the most influential and respected for both its news coverage and its commentary.”

A machine learning model that can generate text.

It works by converting pieces of text to “tokens” which are mapped to numbers in a way that reflects their association with other pieces of text. The model is fed input tokens and predicts tokens based on that, which are then converted to text.

…neural networks, a relatively recent innovation in the field of computer intelligence.

Neural networks have been around for quite some time. The simplest forms of it have actually existed since around 1795.

With the prevalence of adblockers on here, Patreon seems like a better option than the little money he would get from 1 view on YouTube.
