IMO, they wouldn't even mention any concept of AI at all, to begin with. They should carry on as they were already going, without bothering to say anything good or bad about AI. If they're really committed to not involve AI within their platform, they could even create strict community rules regarding AI content and AI usage, limiting or blocking them. As some would say, actions say more than words, because even parrots and crows can speak... Even LLMs can speak!

Sounds exactly like something that someone intending to train an AI would say.

I sleep. It's the closest to be distant from the boredom of existence.

If you consider alternatives beyond out-of-the-shelf, I'd recommend your own DIY IP camera. A Raspberry Pi (or something similar, such as Orange Pi), an IR camera module, an UPS and a protective shell case are the minimal hardware requirements for a cheap camera built by yourself. You'll have total control over the software, you'll be allowed to choose the OS, the software, every aspect of the camera, something that's not possible with out-of-the-shelf IP cameras.

It also doesn't prevent advertisements carried through the website's own domain. For example, lots of video platforms send their advertisements through the same domain as the content's domain, so if you block that domain, you'll also block the possibility of watching any content there. That's why you need to have ad-blocking within the browser.

Similar vibe:

Basically, as far as I read, different kinds of transformers serve different kinds of purposes:

• A Decoder-only is used for generative word output (auto-completion), when the model receives an input prompt and outputs generated words based on it.

• An Encoder-only is used for things such as classification and sentiment analysis, when the model receives an input text and outputs a classification vector.

• An Encoder-Decoder is used for translating texts from one language to other, because it firstly encodes (hence, it classifies) then decodes (hence, it generates words).

How LLMs can translate and can kinda of "analyze the sentiment" of a given text, I'm not really sure (possibly the training data allows is so huge that decoders can achieve the encoding function) but the "basic" generation of words is a decoder thing.

While I previously had a Reddit account (which I don't really used in a frequent basis), I found about Lemmy through Mastodon, which in turn I found about through my search for social network alternative platforms. Turns out I've been participating at Lemmy more often through the entire 3 months I've been here than I participated at Reddit throughout more than a decade (I joined Reddit in 2012 IIRC).

It seems like alarms can trigger Google Assistant routines. Alarm sounds can either use local ringtones or YouTube Music. These things, Google Assistant and YouTube Music, they are cloud services. I imagine that the clock's privacy policy is there due to the usage of these cloud services (along with the rule from Play Store that requires every app to have a privacy policy).

I'm sure lots of Russians were already angry with their government way before the sanctions, so what now? Ideally, people could do massive protests, Putin would be scared as heck so he renounces, people invoke the good old democracy again, they vote, a new leader takes place, Ukraine-Russia war would cease, both Russians and Ukrainians would happily fly together mounted in winged unicorns... Except everyone knows it doesn't work that way!! Governments (not just Putin's) have multiple ways to fight any protests going inside their country, governments can tear gas citizens, governments can end lives from their own citizens, governments can end a protest before it even happens through censorship and massive electrical/internet blackouts. Even when citizens has guns, governments have stronger guns. Lots of recent examples are there to demonstrate how this happens.

People from a sanctioned people can and will starve and die, because their governments and their bureaucrats and forces (police and army) can have their own sustenance, so it doesn't really matter for them if their own citizens starve to death. Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, they won't change simply because population became angry: I guess everyone in the west remember the Tiananmen Square, did it change China's government? I guess no.

So instead of sanctioning and indirectly punishing the people, one option would be that organizations (maybe Red Cross, UN, I dunno) could intervene silently and peacefully inside a country, helping people to flee their country to a safer place, effectively reducing that country army's recruitment potential and weakening its military power (did anybody from NATO, WEF, UN, or whatever organizations, even thought about this, helping Russians flee away from Russia in order to weaken Russia's military?).

It's worth remembering that military recruitment is often a mandatory thing, and the only way common people can run away from it is running away from the country, something that won't happen if they have no money to start emigration processes (it costs money, you know, it's not a free thing, even seeking political asylum needs money). Cutting money will only cut lives unrelated to the leaders that are carrying wars (and I'm sure Putin won't cry because Ms. Mary Marylovski died from starvation because US and Europe indirectly cut her income, because Ms. Mary Marylovski is another unknown citizen to Putin or other higher level government bureaucrats).

I digressed from technology here, but those are my thoughts on the matter.

Indirectly common people are being seized from their humanity. I guess the disliking people know how immigration is not something freely accessible, lots of people around the world just don't have the necessary conditions to leave the country where they were born against their own consent, be it Russia or whatever other country.
