The IA is appealing the decision so they’re not out of the woods just yet.

Yup. Ironically, it only hurts non-AI-users.

Now delete it so that no AI companies can potentially make a sliver of a penny from it.

There is, but it’s no longer easy for the general public to use. There are archive torrents but they’re rather large.

Neither will Windows 11 when I turn that feature off.

No, clearly switching to an entirely different operating system is the easier option.

Extended support for security upgrades for Windows 7 ended on Jan. 10, 2023. So “what it does” should probably not include any connectivity to a public network.

Same here. I’m waiting to see that lawsuit reach its final conclusion, I don’t want to throw good money after bad.

Even afterward, I’m concerned that they might go do some stupid stunt like that again. I’ll want to see if there’s any fallout among their leadership over getting into this situation.

No idea, I’m just repeating caveats I’ve seen raised on this particular news before.

Important to note that the initial form of this treatment is to trigger the growth of teeth that failed to grow in the first place, at least last I read about it. An important first step, but for now it may be dependent on there being an existing “tooth bud” down in the jaw to get going.

I suspect that in the long run we’ll need to figure out how to implant a new tooth bud, probably made using the patient’s stem cells, to grow replacements for teeth that have been lost later in life.

This is the official technology community of Lemmy.ml for all news related to creation and use of technology, and to facilitate civil, meaningful discussion around it.

Yeah, that headline…

But only sometimes. Not often enough that I don’t still find it more useful than not.

This is why I like Bing Chat for this kind of thing, it does a web search in the background and will often be working right from the API documentation.

I’m a good programmer and I still find LLMs to be great for banging out python scripts to handle one-off tasks. I usually use Copilot, it seems best for that sort of thing. Often the first version of the script will have a bug or misunderstanding in it, but all you need to do is tell the LLM what it did wrong or paste the text of the exception into the chat and it’ll usually fix its own mistakes quite well.

I could write those scripts myself by hand if I wanted to, but they’d take a lot longer and I’d be spending my time on boring stuff. Why not let a machine do the boring stuff? That’s why we have technology.

If you’re careless with your prompting, sure. The “default style” of ChatGPT is widely known at this point. If you want it to sound different you’ll need to provide some context to tell it what you want it to sound like.

Or just use one of the many other LLMs out there to mix things up a bit. When I’m brainstorming I usually use Chatbot Arena to bounce ideas around, it’s a page where you can send a prompt to two randomly-selected LLMs and then by voting on which gave a better response you help rank them on a leaderboard. This way I get to run my prompts through a lot of variety.

This thread isn’t about websites, it’s about functions built into operating systems. Those are generally much more configurable. Microsoft wants corporations to run Windows, after all, and corporations tend to be very touchy about this sort of thing.

Yeah, it’s not stopping me from commenting. I’m only noting the downvotes in this case because I was making a point elsewhere in the thread about the extremely anti-AI sentiment around here. In this case I’m not even saying something positive about it, merely speculating about the reason why Microsoft is doing this, and I guess that’s still being interpreted as “justifying” AI and therefore something worthy of attack.

Copilot has boosted my programming productivity significantly. Bing Chat has replaced Google when it comes to conceptual searches (ie, when I want to learn something, not when I want to find some specific website). I’ve been using Bing image creator extensively for illustrations for a tabletop roleplaying campaign I’m running. I still mostly use Gimp and Stable Diffusion locally for editing those images, but I’ve checked out Paint because of the AI integration and was seriously considering using it. Paint of all things, a program that’s long been considered somewhat of a joke.

I’m not overly concerned because I know how to use these things. I know what they do, and so when one of them is doing something concerning I turn it off.

People are frightened of things they don’t understand, and it’s apparent that lots of people don’t understand AI.
