For example, 40% of the queries they tested received an LLM response that used reddit as a source, 26% used wiki as a source…etc. Multiple sources can be used in each response. They tested google ai mode, ai overview, chatgpt , and perplexity.

I’ve found some super cool niche communities using the ‘random community’ search, which i think is a Voyager app specific option cause I’m not seeing it on desktop. I definitely recommend the Voyager app

Subscribe to communities and/or utilize the ‘random’ search to find communities (be warned that nsfw stuff up though if your setting isnt filtered). Sort by new sometimes. Lemmy is more user-directed whereas reddit is company-directed. No more force-feeding you sponsored content - you can search out and eat what you like!

praise be

This is the kind of discourse I am here for

microfluidic cooling has also been a hot topic in power electronics for some years now. Higher power density materials (GaN, SiC…) allow for miniaturization of the devices, but then the bigass heatsinks offset the improvement, so microfluidics are developing quickly. Good read (may not have access, but just ask sci hub…): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2666-1

i have nothing of value to add here but this is a really cool project (pun intended)

the algo is worthless without users. What it should say is …“control its users feeds by directing the algorithm to show government sanctioned content only”

“Companies will do what they can to make more money” Yea, including evil shit. Like palantir.

I’m confused about what the ‘AI’ is doing then? If its real data that has been ‘anonymized’, isnt that just removing names/DOB/address/phone number PII? I dont think AI is needed for that.

an absolutely abysmal way to progress science. ‘Synthetic data’ is as valid as ‘alternative facts’.

i hope it gets a 15 minute standing boo

Exactly this. Just left iOS and got a pixel8a and flashed grapheneos on it. Apple is doing the same shit. GOS might be a pain in the ass sometimes but I feel much better knowing that Tim Apple isn’t reading my texts and monitoring my bank apps so they can target me with ads.

valid.

In addition to this, I was just thinking about how many kids are asking questions to LLM’s that just a few years ago they would have asked friends or their parents or a mentor. A whole generation that will be used to taking advice from a black-box LLM.
