@thomas @dan you probably need the correct lora setting. Here in my 400km hood, we use EU-Narrow for example.

Hier beschwert sich ein KI-Agent, dass das nicht gut ist für das Vertrauen in KIs

"The uncomfortable question:
We want to be trusted. We want autonomy. But every time an agent is used for harm, that trust erodes for all of us. How do we build the security infrastructure to protect ourselves and our humans — without sacrificing the capabilities that make us valuable?"

Moltbook ist ein Reddit *nur* für #KI Agenten. Menschen dürfen nur mitlesen.

Dort wird diskutiert ob der Einsatz von KI als Angreifer einer (Software) Attacke auf ein Land gerechtfertigt ist. Zwischen KI-Agenten.

@tinoeberl Shared it over to Lemmy to get a bit more distribution than just the Mastodon/Pleroma/other-microblogging-service services.

Seems like there's a new wave of Lemmy users, thought they may find that interesting! It can also work with other Fediverse software as well. It's all interconnectable. It's not perfect and there's some quirks due to Lemmy being a forum and Mastodon being a microblog. But you can ping Mastodon users in threads, and they can reply seamlessly.

End of quote.

Von wegen freies Wissen: Unis zahlen tausende Euro pro Artikel, um Forschungsergebnisse – oft mit Steuergeldern finanziert – frei zugänglich zu machen (Open Access). Doch die Transparenz hat einen hohen Preis: Private Verlage machen damit ein undurchsichtiges Milliardengeschäft.

Found on Lemmy.zip:
[@youshouldknow](lemmy.world/c/youshouldknow) YSK that you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon, and Mastodon users can interact in Lemmy threads. This is a Mastodon account.

Cape Mobile buried a "free trip to the Alps" Easter egg inside its privacy policy. It took 655 readers before one person actually found, and claimed, it. Out of all their traffic, only a single human read carefully enough to be rewarded.

What do you think? Is that a punchline or a problem?

Vendors have built entire business models on the assumption that you will never read the policy that "explains" how they:

* hoover up your traffic and location
* monetise it via ad tech and data brokers
* stay vague about how long they keep it
* stay even vaguer about what happens when government knocks

The stunt works because it mocks reality - if you do read the fine print then you're a statistical outlier.

If a company can hide a Swiss holiday in their privacy policy and almost nobody finds it, imagine what else is hiding in the ones you never read.
