Browsers should probably warn if a site on which you are filling forms with personal information or payment methods have been issued with KYC or not. And clearly state to whom physical persona or enterprise that certificate was issued.

Though I worry about the barrier from many people to get those certificates and then privacy concerns. It’s a balance between privacy and democracy and fighting scams. My guess is that browsers should only warn in certain websites, but in which websites and how to detect them… That eludes me, seems complex.

I tried, but then it started blinking.

I have no mouth and I must scream.

It was originally published as part of a book compilation, and it was kind of hard to find a file with just that story and without typos all over the place.

One small old book that used to be hard to find in good quality. I’ve it seeding for years, and being so small and in risk of being lost I’ve never taken it down.

One useful usecase that’s being exploited a lot is roleplay.

Using AI to generate a bot to do a roleplay with and maybe images to add flavour. It’s something that people like to do, and that’s totally harmless.

Like, yes, the llm was trained the books of grrm without his explicit consent and now someone is roleplay a fantasy scenario with John Snow, but who cares?

It’s not like GRRM is available to be hired as a play partner, and no one is getting profit out of it, specially if people just selfhost the models. People is just having fun. And the AI is not substituting anyone. As people didn’t hire “actors” to play their roleplay sessions anyway.

And it’s not like people who use it it like this even post the results in social media and call themselves “AI artist” or anything like that. They just play for themselves or their group of friends, and, at most you can share online the “bot card” so others can use it.

Many people don’t care about it. Me included, for instance.

I would give the reason why but I don’t know if anyone is truly interested in knowning.

I don’t consider things being made by AI as something terrible. If the post is fine I upvote and comment like any other post. If the content is lazy, clickbaity or plain bad then it’s bad. But if it’s good I don’t care that it was produced using some AI tool or other.

It’s true that the fediverse it’s still hostile towards AI conversation (this very comment have high possibilities to be drowned with downvotes) but I’m glad the general stance is changing little by little. I hope in a few years the hostility would be much more marginal, specially if the fediverse keeps growing and more people with more diverse opinions come in.

I like to talk about topics, seeing different opinions about it, and when everyone have the same opinion the discussion is not really interesting. With AI, it’s something new that sparks a lot of though process about may topic. For instance the morality of it, or the limits, trying to find the gray areas between the black and the white. It can be very interesting, and I’m glad, little by little we can start talking about it.

Do you have a proper robots.txt file?

Do they do weird things like invalid url, invalid post tries? Weird user agents?

Millions of times by the same ip sound much more like vulnerability proving than crawler.

If that’s the case fail to ban or crowdsec. Should be easy to set up a rule to ban an inhumane number of hits per second on certain resources.

How do you know it’s “AI” scrappers?

I’ve have my server up before AI was a thing.

It’s totally normal to get thousands of bot hits and to get scraped.

I use crowdsec to mitigate it. But you will always get bot hits.

Histeria clickbait makes money. Extra points if some kind of agenda can be pushed so more people share.

Nah. That analogy does not work.

Piracy situation is more like you have made a cool statue and you charge people money for looking at your statue. Then someone comes, looks at your statue, and goes away without paying.

There’s no thief, nothing was stolen at any point. The one how came looking without paying was probably never going to pay for an entrance, and the statue can me still be looked by anyone. Nothing is loss in the process, no harm is done. Some guy just looked at a statue without paying for it.

Piglet is still there in the morning though.

Algo ha habido pero no tanto como pudieras imaginar. También yo siempre he hecho oidos sordos, así que igual hay más de lo que yo he visto.

Pero lo de Franco, por desgracia sí, mucha gente dice la frase típica “con Franco estábamos mejor”. Algunos lo dicen enserio, otros para molestar. Pero es preocupante. Sobre todo cuando se escucha entre los más jóvenes.

I have it on docker with two volumes, ./config and ./cache

I back up those before each update.

A bad Jellyfin update should not mess with your media folder in anyway. Though you should have backups of those aswell as a rule of thumb.

A good human translator is always the best solution.

But if the choice would be between crappy google translate or a LLM I would take the LLM translation.

There’s no excuse for a big studio, they should hire translators. But for indie creators without a budget it can be the best way to get their creation to more people.

Spain.

King is a moron, but happily he is just politically powerless.

I mean, there is that kind of nationalism patriots here. We have our share of people talking about “bringing back the spanish empire” or “bring back Franco”. And they surely obsess about national day. I just don’t care.

Not American. But I don’t even know when my country’s national day is. I know there’s one because they always do a military parade with the king and always something goes wrong, and we laugh about it. But I can even tell what day it is until I see it on the news.

I’ve been using jellyfin for years.

My best recommendation is DELAY UPDATES and back up before you update.

I have a history of updates breaking everything so you should be careful about them.

All software recommends backing up before an update, but for jellyfin the shit is real, you really want to back up.

👍

You should know that the Americas case is an exception because colonialism. It’s not even a “good” thing. It’s just a residue of the excuse settlers used to take natives lands without their consent.

Wanting to help people is racism, noted. Good to know.
