Every once in a while security researchers would discover sophisticated exploits that would allow malwares to take over your computer via multimedia files, but those are actually rarely exploited in the wild by run off the mill malwares.

Unless you're an important person being targeted by hackers and three letter agencies, your biggest source of threat is running infected programs from untrusted sources, e.g. cracks downloaded from random torrents or warez sites, shady sites serving ads that trick you to run some executables, etc.

How do you sanitize ai prompts? With more prompts?

Lemmy has a lot more contributors and eyes digging into its codebase now compared to 2021 so I think this is very unlikely to happen.

I may not agree with the devs political view, but I think their work developing lemmy is excellent and made me subscribe to monthly donation on opencollective. Lemmy is an open source project where the devs have absolutely no say over how the software being used, as evidenced by so many lemmy instances defederating from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Their political belief won't affect other instance.

They probably mean the .ml part.

Future historians will have a lot of trouble identifying fake ai news when studying our current era.

Like other mentioned, a lot of old games sold right now actually packaged with dosbox. Some even packaged with Wine so it can run on different platforms. The real problem would be emulating current modern graphic stacks but that would be future preservists' problem.

Imagine inheriting a GOG account originally registered by your great-great grandpa containing ungodly amount of games you can't possibly play all of them in a lifetime.

If we fire all developers and allow AIs to program themselves, the AIs are going to commit virtual seppuku after a few days.

Eradication? If anything, streaming services turn the sex dial to 11 for a while now. It's as if they won't greenlight a new show unless it has a certain amount of sex and nudity scenes.

Does this mean Roblox is becoming this generation's Second Life now?

Then why does tidal for the same price as spotify with way less users pay four times as much to the artists than spotify?

I wonder why too. Spotify takes a 30% cut, but even if Tidal takes 0% cuts, how come it can pays 4x as much to artists? There must be more to the math to make it check out.

 

The window is still not found though.
