@prologic@twtxt.net Cheers, mate, just saw this reply so thank you. And hope you are feeling better now!
I agree with what you say too. The whole thing is just an odd approach and can’t possibly be effective, all the while causing inconveniences or at worst, being plain weird and invasive like ID verification.
@prologic@twtxt.net yes.
@prologic@twtxt.net All good mate.
Oof, is it any wonder some of us don’t want to just give out our info online willy-nilly.
Also that credit card ‘encryption’ will likely land that company in very hot water, no doubt far away from PCI DSS requirements.
@prologic@twtxt.net what do we make of Labor’s proposed social media minimum age ban, I.e ID verification, and the likes of Yarn? I haven’t been able to find out exactly how far the legislation goes, but some have said it’s broad enough to include any site that even has a comment section 🤔 but that could be FUD.
I like this comment on Slashdot in the above link:
LLMs don’t have an understanding of anything. They can only regurgitate derivations of what they’ve been trained on and can’t apply that to something new in the same ways that humans or even other animals can. The models are just so large that the illusion is impressive.
So true.
