I had issues in the past with opensubtitles serving malware through fake download buttons on the site.

You had like 6 different buttons to download with only one legit.

Sent them an email and they removed them...

I hardly trust this site and really don't appreciate they use open in their name and pull up shit like this.

I wish we had some sort of P2P sub hosting... So we don't have to deal with sites like opensubtitles.

I'm not speaking of this project in particular.

Just saying, just because something is open source doesn't mean it has no vulnerability or backdoor in it's code.

There is plenty of example of vulnerabilities that existed for years in major open source projects. And there is definitely people that discover some zero day and straight up sell them and stay quiet.

If you look at some of the businesses in the market of zero day vulns you can see what they offer for good vulns.

Who cares if the NSA uses it. Or if they say they use it. They gain nothing in saying they use a specific product. But that's a good way to encourage others to use it. I certainly wouldn't trust the NSA on anything they say publicly.

You can backdoor a product just for you and still release it so other people you might be interested in will give you cool data. In cryptography this is not really an issue to have backdoors that only some people can use.

It's open source, anybody can audit the code. Everybody can keep secret what they found and sell it.

The sad reality is that a lot of people evade parenting by spending way too much time at their work. To some extent using work as an excuse to spend less time educating and spending times with kids.

So you either get the social stigma of not willing to have kids, or you do get some kids and actually don't want to spend time with them ?

Obviously, some parents find the right balance between the two and actually care about the kids enough to keep work in check but I'm starting to think that's more an exception than the norm.

Sorry if this is rough to read or offensive. As I said, I work 39h a week and most of the higher ups at work do 41/42+ hours a week easy. It's obvious than they choose work before education. There is a point where it's just physically impossible to be there for your kids while spending that much time work. Don't even get me started on these higher ups spending so much time working even when they do get home.

I don't get it either. I work in IT in France and do 39 hours a week. It's fairly close to that google figure.

And we have one of the most protective unions and so on here in France.

This is absolutely not unusual in EU to see people working 40+ hours a week and I'm sure there is much worse.

I agree that we should all work less than 8 hours a day, no matter the field honestly, but that's just how it is right now.

Now the main difference is we probably have much more holidays than in the US but that's a different story.

It doesn't matter. I don't really care about moderation being impossible to do. Google decided most moderation should be done automatically on YT and there are constantly false positives. They are not being held accountable both for false positives and false negatives. No human is involved.

And reading that type of comment I'm assuming we are heading the same way. Businesses not being accountable for something that is absolutely being generated by their code. If you choose to deploy a black box that generates random stuff you can't understand how it was generated it shouldn't make you not responsible for the damage done.

I don't think we should naively just accept apologies from AI owners and move on. They knew the risk of dangerous content being generated and decided it was acceptable.

Also considering the damage that Facebook has done in the past and their careless attitude toward privacy, I cannot understand why you would find it likely that they took the time to add some kind of safeguard for nationality and terrorism to be wrongfully associated.

Even then, the very concept of nationality is certainly not clear for an AI. For some Palestine is not a country. How would you think they would have coded a safeguard to prevent that kind of mistake anyway ?

There is a contradiction also in saying that you can't moderate every single AI output manually but that they manually added a moderation of sort to the AI specifically for Palestinians and terrorism. There is no way they got so specific. As you said it's not a practical approach.

The very important point for me to convey is that just because some black box generating text can randomly say racist stuff doesn't and shouldn't be more socially acceptable. That's it.

Then obviously I think these AI shouldn't have been released before their owners have a very good understanding on how they work and on how to prevent 99.9999999999% of the dangerous outputs. Right now my opinion is that Whatsapp deployed this knowing a lot of racist stuff would be generated and they just decided they will figure it out along the way with the help of the users.

It was either that or being late to the competition for the AI market.

If an innocent user can generate that easily some racist output I would argue they did not responsibly released this AI.

It's up to them to moderate the content generated by their app.

And yes it's almost impossible to have a completely safe AI so that will be an issue for all generative AIs like that. It's still their implementation and content generated by their code.

Also I highly doubt they had a specific code to prevent that kind of depiction of Palestinian kids.

Even if they did, someone will come up with an injection prompt that overrides the code in question and the AI will again display biased or racist stuff.

An AI generating racist stuff is absolutely not more acceptable because it got inspired by real racist people...

What a terrible strategy...

Hey you should consider not blocking ads and joining YouTube Premium! By the way we just increased the price of the service you currently virtually have for free.

We'll have to re-destabilize their economy. Refocus labor class outrage from upper to middle, foster a coup, and install a compliant regime.

Edit: It's a Rick and Morty reference.

The situation in Argentina has proven less convenient than predicted...

Now code is imprinted straight to your retina.

You can see the code long after in your sleep and keep on optimizing it.
