Seems to be mainly about property owners not getting enough rent.

General_Effort@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping upEnglish21·12 hours agoYou mean like a nerd who reads too much?
Yeah. I looked it up. That’s why I made the post with the credible numbers. The point about the crime rate is one of the criticisms of that Yale study, which I thought was neat.
I can see what she’s doing, but I don’t know off the top of my head if there is anyone actually claiming that figure.

Most estimates of “illegal aliens”, including by the Department of Homeland Security, are around ~11 million; a figure that has been stable since noughties. https://www.statista.com/statistics/646261/unauthorized-immigrant-population-in-the-us/
Based on that figure, undocumented immigrants have a much lower crime rate than average. If the figure was as high as she claims, they would have to be absolute saints.
The AI haters I’ve seen really hate free access to information. Well, there’s apparently other kinds.
Finally, don’t feel too bad if you kill a couple.
Aww :(
Thanks, though. Appreciate it.
General_Effort@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Huawei releases an open weight model Pangu Pro 72B A16B, trained entirely on Huawei Ascend NPUs.English2·16 hours agoYes. I can’t imagine that they will go after individuals. Businesses can’t be so cavalier. But if creators don’t pay the extra cost to make their models compliant with EU law, then they can’t be used in the EU anyway. So it probably doesn’t matter much.
The Llama models with vision have the no-EU clause. It’s because Meta wasn’t allowed to train on European’s data because of GDPR. The pure LLMs are fine. They might even be compliant, but we’ll have to see what the courts think.
Careful, lest the AI haters hear that.
These look so calm and friendly. Maybe I should get into succulents. Anyone got quick advice?
ETA: Thanks for the tips. I made up my mind that I’ll fetch some cheap ones from the store to get my feet wet. We’ll see how it goes.
General_Effort@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping upEnglish8·1 day agoIf someone puts a camera in a locker room, that means that someone entered a space where you would usually feel safe. It implies the potential of a physical threat.
It also means that someone observed you when you were doing “secret” things. One may feel vulnerable in such situations. Even a seasoned nude model might be embarrassed to be seen while changing, maybe in a dishevelled state.
I would think it is very different. Unless you’re only thinking about the psychological effect on the viewer.
General_Effort@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping upEnglish41·1 day agoThis is mostly about swapping faces. You take a video and a photo of someone’s face. Software can replace the face of someone in the video with that face. That’s been around for a decade or so. There are other ways of doing it.
When the face belongs to an underage individual, and the video is pornographic…
LLMs only do text.
General_Effort@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change?6·1 day agoIn war, the economy does not slow down. It is turbocharged.
A nuclear war could counter global warming by triggering a nuclear winter but the actual effects are very uncertain. Basically, for a nuclear winter, a lot of “dust” needs to be lifted into the stratosphere. Those huge, multi-megaton bombs that they had back in the day caused a mushroom cloud that rose all the way to the stratosphere. Today, smaller, more precisely targeted bombs are preferred. It also depends on how combustible the targets are. No one is really quite sure what the climate effect of nuking a city is.
ETA: That was how climatologists saw nuclear winter ~15-20 years ago. No idea if anything has changed, but there probably wasn’t a lot of new data.
A substantial reduction in the human population would largely end the burning of fossil fuels and trigger reforestation; removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Ultimately, I would expect WW3 to greatly mitigate global warming.

I find interesting stuff either by sorting by new in my subscribed communities. Or by looking for something that causes a stir. The last one creates exactly those problems that are often ascribed to “The Algorithm”.
Is this some weak attempt at gaslighting? If you want to make a career out of this, you really need to up your game. I mean, can you imagine some think tank going: Landlords don’t want to profit from those apartments, they just want to avoid people squatting in them for free.
