  • I can’t wait to read the explosion of breathless media reports and “expert” commentary discussing the sudden spate of compromised ID systems and the subsequent finger pointing between politicians blaming each other for this entirely foreseeable outcome while the professionals who kept raising concerns have their uncredited “I told you so” moment.








  • Elections generally tilt one way or the other based on fractions of a percentage of the vote, in fact, a single vote can be the difference.

    So, if two candidates are evenly matched, it’s possible that a whole state can go one way or the other based on just a few votes.

    Note that this is not specific to the USA and I’m in Australia.

    As far as “elections” go where there’s only one choice, that’s not an election but a dictatorship and from where I’m standing, the USA is heading in that direction at a breakneck speed.



  • I think that unless you have some way to enforce accuracy, it’s meaningless and AFAIK automatic detection tools are no better than chance and to my knowledge, getting worse.

    An AI bot operator isn’t going to tag their material as [AI], more likely than not they’d attempt to use [NOT AI].

    I’d also point out that while lemmy doesn’t (yet) support hashtags, any “tagging” would probably benefit from using the existing method using a #tag.

    Ultimately, you need to ask yourself, is undeclared AI that goes undetected by the community a problem, or the new “normal”?

    I’ll note that I’m not a proponent of Assumed Intelligence and think that when the bubble bursts we’re going to be in a world of hurt, but with a little luck the billionaires will have lost their shirts in the process.
