This is just the kind of nonsense I come to Lemmy for while drinking my first cup of coffee * chef’s kiss *

If he was walking just a bit faster, he’d be in tune with Staying Alive

Also, Google is a (the?) major source of funding for Mozilla, so they have a lot of clout with them.

lol, can’t disagree

Honestly, this is part of a broader trend of enshittification sweeping the Internet these days. It’s not just spez, it’s any SV bro from the current crop of technology companies. I think this is a lesson worth remembering for all of us who took the freedom and magic of the Internet for granted.

Devs, yes, but I think very few of us program in rust :)

I hope at some point more people start contributing to the core lemmy codebase as well. I don’t suppose there’s that many rust devs out there, but I think that would have much more of an impact in the long run.

They’ve only released the weaker version, Gemini Pro, which is integrated into Bard. It’s performance is comparable to GPT 3.5. the stronger version, which will go toe-to-toe with GPT4 will be Gemini Ultra, and will be released sometime in 2024.

Very impressive! Apparently the slightly weaker version is bring released today in Bard, which is still not available in freaking Canada.

The more powerful version which claims to beat GPT4 at MMLU comes out next year.

That word always seemed so overly dramatic to me 😁

I bet you didn’t notice the words “nligh” and “tened” in enlightened either until now

According to Arkenfox user.js the Canvas Fingerprint randomization is caused by Firefoxs Resist Fingerprinting

Nice, I should make sure I have FF’s fingerprint resistance on.

Tor Browser has such strong privacy

Yeah, hopefully more and more people start putting up strong privacy walls, so there’s more of a crowd to blend with!

It’s honestly scary how easy it is to fingerprint you

Yeah, 💯. Of course, if we resist fingerprinting too much, we make ourselves have a unique fingerprint again 😁 I assume some of the tools you’ve mentioned randomize the fingerprint instead of just hiding it?

Didn’t click your link,

Haha, no worries!

Trying out Librewolf, I realized just how many sites (including Reddit!) use tricks like canvas fingerprinting to identify me up to 99% uniqueness. And here I thought just a VPN, uBO and no cookies would be enough!

What environment are you referring to? Netflix certainly doesn’t control Lemmy or the broader Internet.

Now that you mention it!

They do not. The OpenAI non-profit which is the board owns the for-profit, which MS invested in.

I was born in a van down by the river

What a tradedy 😔

I don’t know if this characterization is true. From all that I’ve read Ilya Sutskever was always the star and most important asset of OpenAI. Altman seemed like the SV money guy. Money should no longer continue to be as big of a problem for OpenAI, although the coup will definitely have spooked investors.

Edit: personally, I’ll add that Altman gives me major ick vibes, similar to Musk, although I can’t fully justify them. His WorldCoin scammy project convinced me that he was not the person who should be in charge of potentially in charge of advancing is towards AI.

Ilya and Denis Hassabis are more the kind of scientists with the mettle that I would trust more with the responsibility of stewarding proto AGI into existence. They both seem to understand the magnitude of what they are creating.
