OP’s link is just an incomplete summary of the real article

That source post has this Bluesky quote:

Vice President Vance’s account was briefly flagged by our automated systems that try to detect impersonation attempts which have targeted public figures like him in the past. The account was quickly restored and verified

Also, that it would have been heavily flagged by users was probably part of it.

Imagine stumbling upon a fully operational pink refrigerator, stocked with cold beverages, nestled incongruously in the heart of this arid wilderness. It’s not a hallucination or a mirage—it’s a deliberate and whimsical creation by the Namibia Tourism Board, designed to surprise and delight weary adventurers.

Those two sentences pretty much cover it.

I’m not sure I understand your reply, but if your second sentence is saying that this image is AI-generated then you might like to know that this building is in Belgium and there’s other photos online.

Also there’s that a file on a cloud service might change. E.g. Amazon sometimes updates ebook covers to advertise that there’s a show - even for those who have paid extra to have the ad-free option.

E.g. the sticker-type graphic on this and that the title is updated to “The Fires Of Heaven: Book 5 of the Wheel of Time (Now a major TV series)”:

Podlet is really useful in this area.

This is a great use of AI and it’s caught some small errors like the wrong its (which is one I find distracting when reading). The editing is light enough that it’s still your voice, just with extra punctuation and fewer typos.

On Friday I spent over an hour trying to fix my Firefox tabs - I could no longer drag them to reorder or to a new window, and ctrl-shift-T didn’t restore tabs, but I could still do it via menus. I thought it might be something to do with the new tab-island stuff and tried FF safe mode, restarting computer, confirming about:config options, etc.

Turns out my headphones were resting on my Esc key.

They’re great for users, which is why Google and Apple are letting them die from lack of development so apps can make them money.

Hopefully it’s good (and makes plenty of money for her son). The review on that site is positive and other sources praise the cinematography.

I’m not understanding why that’s an appropriate name, but maybe I need to learn more about butterflies.

This is a great example - it kinda makes sense if you skim read it but butterflies have nothing to do with butter, just like hotdogs have nothing to do with dogs.

FiveSixElevenSeventeen downvotes and counting…

LLMs are already being used for policy making, business decisions, software creation and the like. The issue is bigger than summarisers, and “hallucinations” are a real problem when they lead to real decisions and real consequences.

If you can’t imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.

My friends would probably say something like “I’ve never heard that one, but I guess it means something like …”

The problem is, these LLMs don’t give any indication when they’re making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don’t understand the limitations of things like Google’s AI summary* so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

* I’m not counting the little disclaimer because we’ve been taught to ignore smallprint from being faced with so much of it

I found that trying “some-nonsense-phrase meaning” won’t always trigger the idiom interpretation, but you can often change it to something more saying-like.

I also found that trying in incognito mode had better results, so perhaps it’s also affected by your settings. Maybe it’s regional as well, or based on your search result. And, as AI’s non-deterministic, you can’t expect it to always work.

Iron Sky counts, right? Its budget is a bit high but it’s a B-movie and it knows it.

Everyone complained about the nonsensical AI version, so now we have a sane version to share. This is a good thing.

I had “install Linkwarden” on my todo list; Hoarder/Karakeep seems very similar, does anyone have opinions on which is better?

I saw this at the cinema last night. We all enjoyed it, although I’ll leave it a good while before I’d rewatch it.

Rami Malek is in a pretty similar role to his Elliot in Mr Robot, plus a bit of MacGuyver. Safe ground for him. Supporting cast was solid.

The plot moves at a decent pace, although without much in the way of surprises. Jon Bernthal’s character could be safely removed and the ending was a little anti-climactic.

Not your post, either ;) We’re c/selfhosted around these parts.
