Lol prompts are important for sure. Me and my boss often talk about what you can do with chatgpt when we use it at work amd what kind of prompts we use.
Most models that I’ve played with are only about as good as what you put into it. If you ask it the right questions in the right way, you can get pretty good results.
GPT3.5 has worked well for me. I’ve also run AI on my pc locally using Ollama and lots of different models. Most do well with simple questions or requests.
Llama 3 instruct is what I’ve liked the most so far.
From my understanding, a lot of the products on amazon are resellers that buy stuff from alibaba and then resell it at a markup so it would not surprise me if that was the case.
They all looked the same when i was last on there searching for one.
I bought a dehumidifier off amazon that was “rated” for 800 sq ft.
Not only did it not live up to that promise, but it also served as the worlds shittiest ice maker. Ice formed on the radiator inside and stoped it from dehumidifying the air.
Thats right, you too can have a ice maker that makes ice in the shape of a radiator while ineffectively dehumidifying your home!
Best part was they reached out after I left a one star review and what they could do to change my rating.
I said “Nothing. Make a better product”
I wish they wouldn’t do that. If i have to hear about Southern New Hampshire University again I’m gonna hurt somebody.
If I agree to free thing and have to watch ads, aight fine.
But at least make them different man, i hate that they play the same one over and over again. It does not make me want to buy your product.
Shocked i tell you. I am shocked.
No way an app would collect data it doesnt need. Preposterous.
Next thing you’ll tell me is that tiktok is doing the same thing!
Yea thats part of the reason I said generally. As I said, newer to linux and still learning but flatpaks can be more secure because they are sandboxed is my understanding.
That said, you’re not wrong to point it out. Sandboxes arent the be all end all to security of course. Any security is defeated if the end user doesn’t use logic and practice saftey when it comes to downloading any software.
I’ve seen good answers here but I just wanted to chime in as I’m a newer Linux user and as I’m learning more from running Fedora as my daily driver instead of Windows, I’m learning a lot and hope to help others learn as well.
Typically, most common software that you want to use will be in the repo for your distro or in a flatpak of some kind. If you’re downloading from your distributions repo, your typically not going to encounter viruses. Flatpaks are also generally safe as theyre sandboxed so the interactions they have with your system are generally read only.
That said, still use caution. Don’t run commands that you find online unless you know what they do, use ublock like you mentioned you already do, only download software from trusted sources and use the checksum to verify the files integrity and safety.
From the sound of it, you’re already doing what you should be, just wanted to add this if there were any other very new users with similar concerns about viruses.
From what I can see just from a quick google, its in reference to a tiktok.
“What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?”
One of the women immediately answered in her Southern accent and laughed:
“Oh, you gotta give him that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thing, you get me?”
How else are they going to train the ai on all your information if you opt out?
From what I’ve heard, most people that are for in office work like having the separation between work and home.
That being said, I think most folks want remote work or at least remote hybrid. It just makes more sense especially for me. I live far from my office (140 mile drive roundtrip), and working 3 days a week from home has been a god send.
Something like a chromecast would be the easiest solution.
Me personally, I just like having a media pc hooked up to my tv. I bought an amazon fire tv cause it was fairly cheap for 4k and its never been hooked up to the internet.
That is adorable. What a nice way to have fun with your kids.
And I agree, if you know how to use it or learn how to use it, there is absolutely value to be had.
Ah yes very good point, we should just throw it out /s
Yea not a fan of that either. it’s early but the tech is cool and useful for some stuff at least. I’m having lots fun running running it locally for audio transcription and creating summaries for my dnd campaign. (Though i cant seem to get it to work for longer bits atm, still messing with it.)
Most companies are really just using it wrong or are shoving it into stuff it doesnt need to be.
Exactly. I and my boss will sometimes use ai for helping to write code and other small tasks but we always check to make sure its right or tweak it before using it.
Ai is a tool and like any tool you can use it incorrectly. Fine if you wanna use automation but thay automation better be damn near perfect if you’re using it in production and have checks in place to ensure its doing it right.
Absolute blasphemy.
How else will i have left over rice for fried rice if I make just enough?
If they leave a voicemail then its more legit but yea same here. I’d rather not have my phone calls be used as AI training.
Rejoice brother as you are amoung friends.
Well now im very jealous lol. Good for you man, thats a banger deal.
