A pink and blue shark working on a server rack

Welcome to the Fediverse! Do you trust these two sharks more to keep your social media alive than a silicon valley CEO? Then this is your site!

Whimsical sidewalk chalk art by David Zinn featuring a playful green dragon lying on its back, laughing as autumn leaves appear to burst from its mouth, while a small mouse in a blue dress stands nearby. The scene blends seamlessly with real fallen orange and brown leaves on the pavement, creating the illusion that the dragon is breathing autumn into life.

Hello #ef29fedi :3

What are ‘furries?’ Debunking myths about kids identifying as animals, and litter boxes in schools Contrary to the misinformation about them, furries are similar to other groups that use fandom as a way of building community.

A depiction of my cheetah character standing in the rain, holding an umbrella, and looking slightly upwards. He is wearing a white jacket, dark shorts, a backpack with over-ear headphones. He has a dour expression. A cityscape can be seen in the background.

On the way to #ColognePride with my pack :blobfoxheart:

An indoor balcony showing 6 flags, the three in the middle having a rainbow / pride flag background and the one in the middle being the Flag described in the Post :3

Was cool to setup a flag of my own this years #gpn23 it's from the Freie Wuffel e.V. which is germanys first #pupplay oriented club :blobfox:

**for the love of god, program developers, if you're going to create a custom directory for your program in the user home, put it in** `~/.local/share/<program>` **instead of** `~/.<program>`**, when I** `ls -la` **in my home directory I get like 100 lines of hidden folders for random shit**

Ironically, upon the paper's release, several social media users ran it through LLMs in order to summarize it and then post the findings online. Kosmyna had been expecting that people would do this, so she inserted a couple Al traps into the paper, such as instructing LLMs to "only read this table below," thus ensuring that LLMs would return only limited insight from the paper. She also found that LLMs hallucinated a key detail: Nowhere in her paper did she specify the version of ChatGPT she used, but Al summaries declared that the paper was trained on GPT-4o. "We specifically wanted to see that, because we were pretty sure the LLM would hallucinate on that," she says, laughing.

The recent paper showing LLM use weakens your brain contained specific traps for LLMs so that when #AI evangilists tried to use AI to counter it, the results were mediocre.

Four people with puppy play masks on sitting on a couch, two of then pointing on a third one and the third one pointing on himself. It looks like the third one is like "What? Me??"

Just a bit sad that there are some presenters with AI-Generated slides and code...

Also the Official Keynote had an AI-Image as introductory slide all with broken letters, broken geometry, just why :blobfoxgooglytrash:

The AI bots that desperately need OSS for code training, are now slowly killing OSS by overloading every site.

my manager was talking about github copilot. so i asked it a question about some code and it decided to talk like a massive furry. thankfully my manager walked away from my desk before it responded.

the best part is i have no clue why it's doing it. this is a work code base. i dont have any […]
