We need uncensored models. Eric Hartford wrote a good blog article in May 2023 about the whole topic: https://erichartford.com/uncensored-models

I think that also applies to biology reasearch and a variety of topics. And also in the adult industry AI can contribute new “art” or take away and flood everything with low quality content. We also have fights about copyright everywhere. I don’t see the adult industry in a different position than other industries… We’re going to see how AI changes things. Having a say certainly helps. I don’t like things being forced on people.

I think that’s why I wrote about stalking, doxing and and the job of journalists. I think it’s generally not well aligned to the job of a private investigator. I think you could do it as a journalist. Have some idea that someone feels fishy and see if you can dig something up and write an article about it. There might be some overlap with the two jobs in the methods. And OP’s question came from a story idea. Maybe there are unprofessional investigators without morale? I think some professional with an interest to keep their job will certainly not cross the lines, do illegal methods and then also document it… They’ll probably just refuse to do that job.

I think we have some more pressing issues with email. We need a new protocol that effectively fights spam, phishing and adds encryption and signatures. And that protocol needs close to 100% adoption around the world. I don’t mind if we also go ahead and make it more efficient and add features like automatic deletion etc. But that’s just the cherry on top.

Then I misunderstood what the question is about. With your definition and the original question in mind, it’d boil down to doing journalism. Of course that isn’t illegal. But it also has some severe restrictions when it comes to individual people and their private life. You can’t just doxx someone and publish everything invading their privacy. And here also different rules apply to the person investigating and the person publishing the information. But the rules for private investigators still apply.

And I still think a good part of what a private investigator does is things like finding out if someone cheated on their spouse. And that includes following people. And they better not tell how much they exactly followed someone, but instead only take a picture when they actually caught their suspect doing something wrong. Which they can’t do with the premise of this story… Without a clear goal, they’d have to become more like a paparazzi. Which might be closer to illegal and the movie PI than their usual job.

And sure, other parts of their job is probably digging through social media, paper trails when it comes to money, investigating if someone embezzles money or is in breach of a contract. But I don’t think it applies fully in this situation.

However, if you find a politician embezzles money, or poses for the working class and secretly owns 5 mansions in Miami, and you call them out… That’s regular journalism. You just need to make sure to obtain that information legally. Or claim you got that from a mysterious source. And adhere to the standards of journalism. You can’t publish when they fetch their kids from school and then someone goes ahead and uses that information to harass their 12yo daughter.

I seriously doubt that. I didn’t read the law but I’d be surprised if it contains an exception for PIs. And I think I read about some private investigators and paparazzi getting into trouble with the law. I mean downvote me all you want, but I’m pretty sure it’s a delicate matter not to cross any lines in such a job. And probably more so if you lack a legitimate reason and do surveillance on some person’s private life.

Google says stalking is a crime in 50 US states.

Same post from yesterday: https://lemmy.world/post/19716272

And since it wasn’t ever a secret that these services are for data harvesting, they got next to nothing from me. I mean does it make a substancial difference if they sell your data or use it to get to know you so they can do targeted advertising… Or train an AI with it? I’d say the latter isn’t even that bad compared to the other business model. But yeah, be cautious about these tech companies. Generally speaking they’re not invested in your privacy. On the contrary. If you value that, use other services. And it’s been that way for quite some time.

Well, nothing lasts forever. I’d say distributing them on something that lasts 10+ years is better than doing noting. Otherwise they just get lost, buried in the attic or the next harddrive crash takes them.

I think as a country they don’t need “in” on AI. They already do lots of AI, robotics… Published language models that are on par with what’s publicly available elsewhere, use quite some electricity for AI compared to other countries… So I think it’s just the next AI thing, this time from China. And probably part of some strategy to end up in a total surveillance, techno dystopia. Now they need to connect it to WeChat and all of their camera surveillance and they’re almost there.

Yeah, it’s so much novel. And Jarvis - of course - is the only scifi to compare things to.

The article is kind of all over the place mixing high-school graduates and fourth-graders? I can see how you’re sluggish at typing in fourth grade… The numbers for a 17 year old would be interesting… But yeah, 13 words per minute isn’t impressive. And most young people I know use phones and tablets, not computers. So naturally a good amount of them isn’t good around these things.

If they’re good at their job, you can ask pretty much anything and they’ll ask follow-up questions. If not they’ll infer what to do or do one of the standard haircuts.

Yeah we do. But the AI communities here didn’t really take off. Most people here just downvote everything about AI because they’re tired of it. But there are some people who discuss that form of AI that people can run themselves, modify and participate.

Lots of people seem to like them. I’ve read several AI summaries also here on Lemmy. And they kind of always miss the nuance. Oftentimes they entirely miss the point. So much that it sometimes becomes wrong.

I’d say a lot in music is about structure, patterns, repetition etc. And endings of words being similar is part of that.

Agree. I’m not sure if the grocery store clerk will be a human in that scenario and not a robot… But I’d like to live and see humanity arrive at some post-scarcity utopia like Star Trek. Where everyone can choose to do whatever they like, because all the basic needs are met. And all the mundane tasks are done by automation. I’d certainly learn a lot. There are some skills and languages that’d I’d like to try or maybe even master.

I think I was fine with school ending at some point. Focusing on new things… Trading in some annoying obligations for others. I don’t think I’d elect to come back unless it’s just every now and then.

I’d blame capitalism. And corporations prefering short term growth and attracting investors. And the whole modern business model of exploiting users private data to sell advertisements. That’s how the whole internet works these days and thak makes being evil baked into every successful company.

And btw: Zuck did one good thing. He personally gave us competetive AI models to tinker around with. If it weren’t for people like him, we would have AI dominate us without the average person having access to more than the online services like ChatGPT. Yeah but that doesn’t take away from the things you lined out.

That’s alright. I learned something anyways. Maybe I’m a bit overly cautios with these companies. I mean they even combine two of the buzzwords that attract investors… “AI” and “Quantum”… But I don’t know much about the topic. Usually we have some classical signal processing available to handle sensor data. But AI can do things like imaging and finding patterns well. I can see how there might be some synergy between the two fields.
