‘It’s destroyed me completely’: Kenyan moderators decry toll of training of AI models
  • It's a tough problem to solve! It's definitely beyond my expertise.

  • Love to see these results!

    I'm watching Oppenheimer next week at the Universal IMAX on 70mm. THRILLED

  • ‘It’s destroyed me completely’: Kenyan moderators decry toll of training of AI models
  • Good question! It's probably the most psychologically damaging job out there.

    Ironically, maybe with AI? But that would mean we would have to train a model to recognize the worst images and videos possible...which means gathering all of that data...which means whomever trains that model will be scarred...actually, maybe not a good idea...

  • how's your week going, Beehaw
  • It's going ok!

    My sons daycare had to close for the week because of a COVID outbreak so I've been daddy-day care all week. It's nice to spend quality time with him, but man 2-year-olds are a lot.

  • ‘It’s destroyed me completely’: Kenyan moderators decry toll of training of AI models
  • To be honest, this isn't an AI problem, but a content moderation and labor force ethics problem. You can swap out AI with social media and you'll find the same amount of psychological harm to moderators.

  • Awesome!

  • Would you ever buy a house if you could get a really good deal on it, and it was right next to a lovely park and a trail, but a murder-suicide happened in it? (And it was cleaned and repaired)
  • Correct me if I’m wrong, but here in California you don’t have to report if someone died in your house after a certain period of time. The only exception, I’m told by my realtor, is if the deceased were a minor.

    As long as it doesn’t affect my ability to resell, doesn’t bother me at all.

  • lemmy users who have achived their dreams/goal, how did you do it?
  • It takes time. I’m ten years into my career as a cinematographer and I still feel like I haven’t achieved “it” yet.

  • By a 6-3 majority, Supreme Court strikes down Biden's student loan debt relief plan
  • I’m sooooo disappointed, but also sooooo not surprised.

    Legally, Biden did have weak legal ground, but also legally then the decision shouldn’t have been allowed because the states who sued had, with unanimous decision by the Supreme Court, no legal ground at all.

    NPR reports that the Biden admin will have a response and plan announced soon.

    askBeehaw: should copyright even exist at all? and if it should, how long *should* the ideal term of copyright be?
  • Copyright protection should only apply to people and if they are alive.

    We're stifling artistic innovation when copyright is controlled by corporations.

  • It was his last update before changing leadership. IDK what the status will be after that.

    Just tried Limbo, though, and loving it!

    Mlem is no longer on testflight, they just announced a change in leadership, so hopefully it continues with development. Seems like it will, given their announcement: https://beehaw.org/post/693759

  • www.propublica.org Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court

    In the years after the undisclosed trip to Alaska, Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. Alito has never recused himself.

    Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court

    In early July 2008, Samuel Alito stood on a riverbank in a remote corner of Alaska. The Supreme Court justice was on vacation at a luxury fishing lodge that charged more than $1,000 a day, and after catching a king salmon nearly the size of his leg, Alito posed for a picture. To his left, a man stood beaming: Paul Singer, a hedge fund billionaire who has repeatedly asked the Supreme Court to rule in his favor in high-stakes business disputes.

    Singer was more than a fellow angler. He flew Alito to Alaska on a private jet. If the justice chartered the plane himself, the cost could have exceeded $100,000 one way.

    Best Prequels?
  • I mean, it wasn't bad but also...not that great? Agh, I hate dishing on movies. They're so hard to make!

  • Best Prequels?
  • I enjoyed it a lot!

  • Best Prequels?

    I'm shooting a movie currently and after a conversation with my director we realized that we couldn't think of a single prequel that we liked. However, we both agreed that there has to be at least one.

    What do you think? Are there any good prequels?

    The first thing that came to mind, after the fact, was The House of the Dragon the Game of Thrones prequel.
