I tried replicating this myself, and got no similar results. It took enough coaxing just to get the model to not specify existing tariffs, then to make it talk about entire nations instead of tariffs on specific sectors, then after that it mostly just did 10, 12, and 25% for most of the answers.

I have no doubt this is possible, but until I see some actual amount of proof, this is entirely hearsay.

These folks include presenting a false person as being of age, then switching to underage at the time of meetup when the target shows up.

I've never seen even a single instance in my own viewership of numerous channels that engage in pedophile hunting where the person is presented as being above the legal age of consent, then only switching to underage at the time of the meeting. They're presented as underage from the get-go.

Then the group tries to kill the person

Again, this doesn't seem to be a widespread thing compared to the number of them that simply lure them to a location then ask them questions (and directly state that they are free to leave at any time since they're not law enforcement and can't arrest them) The people you're talking about are a small minority of both the actual number of pedo hunters, and the number of overall views received.

And the perpetrators think this is justice.

I doubt the people that are explicitly lying to farm content think it's justice. I do believe the people actually catching people who voluntarily contacted someone presented as underage from the start do.

It depends on how these channels are going about finding their victims for it to be considered similar.

Remember, entrapment is based around luring someone to do something they otherwise would not have done had the operation to entrap them not occurred. If they created an account posing as a minor, then directly DM'd a person asking if they wanted to do x/y/z with a minor, that would be entrapment.

But if they made an account claiming to be a minor on social media, and the person contacted them voluntarily, asked their age, was told it was under 18 and still continued messaging, then sent explicit photos, that's not entrapment.

However, if they were then the people who initiated the conversation about wanting the person to come to their house / visit them somewhere, that could be considered entrapment, and the only evidence against the person that could be eligible for use in court would be the explicit material they sent without being prompted.

It varies case-by-case, but from what I've seen, most of the larger operations tend to try and avoid entrapment-like tactics in most cases, where they only allow the other person to initiate unlawful behaviors, rather than prompting anything themselves.

couldn’t they just run down the registered sex offender list

The point of their channels is usually to find new predators that haven't been caught, so they can then face legal consequences, (or at least be pushed to stop acting on their desires) rather than to punish people for being pedophiles in general, so it wouldn't really make sense to go after those who were already convicted.

Exactly. Most things need to optimize for the lowest common denominator of understanding, and buttons with words and fields that have explicit purposes and positioning are a much easier starting point than "use command -help and figure out the syntax yourself," even if someone who learns the syntax could then possibly be more efficient at using it.

Same. I still find myself regularly going to old Reddit threads on extremely niche topics that only a few people on the internet seem to have talked about somehow, but a lot of what I want most of the time is already here on Lemmy, so that's nice.

hotel

I think you mean "all-inclusive" resort (that isn't all inclusive and actually charges a gazillion dollars in random fees) that makes them feel like they're experiencing local culture while actually just experiencing the effects of the resort chain exploiting the local population for cheap labor while cheaply imitating the culture.

Don't worry, we Americans are definitely capable of escaping our cultural bubble! /s

Not only are their wages lower than their parents’ earnings when they were in their 20s and 30s, after adjusting for inflation, but they are also carrying larger student loan balances, many reports show.

True, true. Surely they won't try to both-sides this and make it seem like they're overreacti-

But by other measures, young adults are doing well.

Oh no.

Compared with their parents at this age, Gen Zers are more likely to have a college degree

Because more jobs require them even when they're not necessary. Also, see the crippling debt you just mentioned.

and work full time.

Yet still make less than their parents while working longer hours. How is this "doing well?"

Plus, many millennials have more saved for retirement than they did just a few years ago, after reaping the benefits of positive market conditions.

Fun fact, if you save money for retirement, it tends to go up, shocking.

GrapheneOS has Seedvault integrated in Settings > System > Backup, where you can choose what you want backed up, back it up into a file, then transfer that file anywhere you want.

You can then restore a backup from the three-dot menu in the top right.

I haven't had to do restore yet myself, so I'm unsure how well it restores, say, text messages, to an existing client on your phone. (I'm not sure if it replaces your existing messages or not)

As for Signal, I believe it now supports restoring up to the last 45 days of message history from your device. (Even after wiping your messages off Signal from your phone, leave the app itself, as it has totally innocuous files that definitely don't possibly harm police hardware used to crack phones embedded in it.)

  1. Say something blatantly uninformed on an online forum
  2. Get corrected on it
  3. Make reference to how someone is perceived at parties, an entirely different atmosphere from an online forum, and think you made a point

Good job.

We cant even handle humans going psycho. Last thing I want is an AI losing its shit due from being overworked producing goblin tentacle porn and going full skynet judgement day.

That is simply not how "AI" models today are structured, and that is entirely a fabrication based on science fiction related media.

The series of matrix multiplication problems that an LLM is, and runs the tokens from a query through does not have the capability to be overworked, to know if it's been used before (outside of its context window, which itself is just previous stored tokens added to the math problem), to change itself, or to arbitrarily access any system resources.

Here's the key distinction:

This only makes AI models unreliable if they ignore "don't scrape my site" requests. If they respect the requests of the sites they're profiting from using the data from, then there's no issue.

People want AI models to not be unreliable, but they also want them to operate with integrity in the first place, and not profit from people's work who explicitly opt-out their work from training.
