Pinterest changes user terms so it can train AI on user data and photos, regardless of when they were posted

  • My worry is that these social media alternatives might get scraped by these AI companies as well.

    Sure, a company handing it over is much easier (i.e. Reddit). But with the decentralized nature, everyone needs to protect their instances themselves, which I’m not sure how well everyone will be capable of doing that.

    Definitely much more difficult, so it’s a step in the right direction.

    • Signal's Meredith Whittaker says AI agents doing tasks on users' behalf pose security and privacy risks and refers to their use as “putting your brain in a jar”.

  • This is the primary reason I've not given agents more power than something extremely controlled (I.e. only a function to turn on/off the lights). As I was always concerned that these generational models might accidentally do something dumb or annoying, let alone something that might be illegal or harmful.

    I don't really see how anyone would ask AI to complete something completely autonomously at this stage, without oversight.

    • I wish someone would convince Trump that it is a good idea to require all US products to carry a Trump seal of approval - would make it so much easier on all of us

    Jump

  • That would be awesome!!

    We then know exactly what products to buy because America first! Trump is doing an awesome job and he should really go through with this idea. Maybe if someone tells him privately, then he can say he thought of it.

    • Hungary and US to agree on economic cooperation package, PM Orban says

    Jump

  • Oh yeah that’s totally not ominous

    • Made in EU cartoon that is an alternative to the American ones

  • Belgium really has some awesome comics! I always thought a bunch of them were Dutch, as they were written in Flanders.

    Was quite a funny moment when I figured out most of my favourites were Belgian.

    • Wat zijn jullie plannen voor het weekend?

    Jump

  • Grappig genoeg, net een "Lemmy"-instance opgezet om weg te gaan van Reddit 😅

    Daarnaast ook even met de hoge drukspuit m'n tuintegels schoonmaken met dit heerlijke weer.

    • European soda brands ?

    Jump

  • I've recently been enjoying Fritz-Kola, which is a german brand of cola. I was also super happy to learn that Red Bull is european!

    • This community when US tech is brought up

  • Gaben is pretty chill, ngl

    • Starting to self host

    Jump

  • First of all: take a breath!

    Pihole is a great start, and an awesome piece of software. As self-hosting is quite broad, there are quite a few options, so I have two suggestions that should still be relatively simple to continue with, and that I thoroughly enjoyed when getting started.

    1. Webservers: Something like Caddy, NGINX or Apache (Caddy being likely the simplest choice here), will allow you host your own website! If you open a port on your router, this website can also be accessed remotely (be careful! Without SSL, you should not expose any forms, to avoid those being leaked). A bit outside the realm of "self-hosting" — but Cloudflare allows you to setup SSL with relative ease and also allows you to link a domain your website.
    2. Game Servers: Many options in this space, so take a pick for a game you like! I am an avid minecraft enjoyer, and regularly setup modded servers to play with my friends. You can find some more info here on how to get started with a Minecraft server implementation called "Fabric"

    Have fun! And if there is something more specific you're curious about, feel free to ask 😀
