WhatsApp’s AI shows gun-wielding children when prompted with ‘Palestine’

By contrast, prompts for ‘Israeli’ do not generate images of people wielding guns, even in response to a prompt for ‘Israel army’

So what reality is this model reflecting then?

Why does it matter what the excuse is?

You shouldn't get a stereotype (or in this case I suppose propaganda?) when you give a neutral prompt.

The unfair advantage argument definitely holds water, mouse and keyboard can be like a sports car racing against a bicycle. But if someone had the budget to tackle this issue through software, it would be Microsoft. So I'm inclined to agree that it's mostly just MS squeezing money out of third party manufacturers.

If they'd care only about the "unfair", they'd put a fair, almost free, price on the official license that covers the cost of testing or whatever. Truth presumably here is also a bit more complicated, maybe third party controllers could be easier to hack resulting in an ineffective licensing system, idk. But yeah smells like money for Microsoft and a loss for consumers.

I think it's the same problem Wes Anderson kinda suffers. They're trying to do their thing in the way their audience expects them to.

And I don't really think either is playing a caricature of themselves, there's real creativity at play. But the creative risks are mitigated by relying on their set style, which makes it safe to consume but often not that exciting. I find Dunkey's reviews usually pretty interesting, whether I agree with them or not. But this poetry felt closer to an ad than an honest review.

Never has the word "alleged" felt so meaningless.

Since Spotify can't even make a shuffle that works, I don't see how AI playlists would be any good either.

GaaS really fucks up basic game design. It's like they intentionally are aiming to squeeze as much as possible out of a lime when they could just aim for a watermelon.

No idea how much always online server structure costs but it can't be free. I wonder if the console manufacturers favor this type of game design as it brings them some cash in too.

I don't like your idea because it defeats the purpose of picking an instance (and you could just run your own if you want to be in control) but yeah that was uncalled for. If this is the attitude of the instance maybe they should just defed. (If restricting posting isn't possible.)

I don't know what kind of platform would make it impossible to not host csam. Text only, without linking?

Or is the problem here that the post was available to the wider audience, so other than moderation front was able to see it? Lemmy doesn't do restricted posting? Jesus this platform is at its infancy then.

I don't know if they've gotten their act together after that or not but I haven't come across stuff like that. Or maybe I'm just ignorant and a bit blind to that stuff. Most of your typical internet negativeness I've seen has been about Starfield but even that is kinda whatever bickering.

Either way, I'm not suggesting that Tildes would be replacements for Beehaw, just another avenue to check out once in a while.

You might want to check out Tildes too. I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for, which I think is a community where you form relationships with others (hasn't been my experience there [nor here]), but its main focus is less noise, better content (as in both posts and conversation). It's less about jokes or raking in upvotes and more about having something meaningful to say.

I haven't encountered that much of any kind of hate speech or your average internet assholery so it might be at least a place to check out.

It's a bit dry and slow content wise so I don't think it'll end up being anyone's one stop shop for everything social media.
