Unfortunately for you, I’ve got a hot plate and it gets pretty darn hot.

It’s okay, you’re both off by at least an order of magnitude anyways. :)

Just elemental silver.

Yeah I meant mass, but that’s a fair question. I updated the title.

Yep, not arguing for the use of generative AI in the slightest. I very rarely use it myself.

That’s a good reason to use open source models. If your provider does something you don’t like, you can always switch to another one, or even selfhost it.

Changing things up by finding the most unattractive anime girl for my background instead.

You can sideload any app on Android. Of course Google does a lot to push you towards using their store instead, but it’s still better than iOS where it’s just impossible.

Karma isn’t visible on Lemmy, but my instance (Mbin) shows it as “reputation”. If you’re curious, yours is 39482.

That’s a problem inherent to public social media platforms. Web/API scrapers have existed forever; the fediverse just makes it a little easier since you can run your own instance and gather data automatically.

At that point you might as well just send it as text.

Unfortunately most QR readers don’t recognize an image regardless of the data format.

Depends on what you consider readable, but I got it down to 2842 bytes by downscaling it and using an absolutely atrocious quality setting:

That’s just small enough to fit inside a QR code, so I did that! (You probably can’t scan it with a typical QR reader; you need something like zbar that supports reading binary data).

I don’t see how looking like me would help them get CCTV footage, unless it’s through some sort of supernatural means. And even if they could find footage of me entering a password, they’d be hard-pressed to extract individual keystrokes from a typical CCTV quality recording. Perhaps it’s technically possible, but it’s certainly not trivial.

Same as I do now, passwords. Unless they inherited my memories, in which case who’s to say I’m not the doppelganger?

I only get paid $1 per hour as a teacher’s assistant, and my workdays are five hours. Truth be told, this $5 job is considered one of the best in the prison.

Prison is legalized slavery.

Lee said he doesn’t know a single student at the school who isn’t using AI to cheat.

How far do you have to be into the AI shit bubble to think everyone is cheating with AI? Some people are always going to cheat, but that’s been true since long before AI tools existed. Most people have some level of integrity and desire to actually learn from the classes they’re paying thousands to attend.

3 million? What a weak encryption scheme, proper encryption should take 10^20 years at a minimum.

I think there are better things to do with $500k than throw it all away for a useless domain name, like distribute it to the people who maintain fediverse software and host instances.

I’ve clocked 600 hours in Kerbal Space Program, and probably high thousands to over ten thousand in Minecraft.
