Technology@lemmy.world•TIDAL to automatically tag AI-generated music… and block it from earning royaltiesEnglish
7·17 days agoFrom the original email I received from them, it sounded like they have an AI detection tool that would automatically apply the AI tag. They said they’re starting with tagging songs that are 100% generated but will expand that to any AI songs once they have the tech for it

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•How would you like to pay your NaN pounds?
45·20 days agoTHE PRICE TAGS ARE RUNNING JAVASCRIPT!!
The other response already clarified why its not free but there’s also a $1 USD min spend per month to have an account on their platform meaning it’s $1 USD/mo at minimum. It’s just free if you’re already spending that with them

Technology@lemmy.world•Warning all weebs: Kaspersky says hackers are distributing malware via anime girl wallpapers on Steam Workshop's Wallpaper EngineEnglish
191·29 days agoYeah, obviously my wife who just enjoys having cute interactive wallpapers is a pedo creep, right? It’s fucking strange that your mind even goes in that direction

Programming@programming.dev•Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?
11·1 month agoOh yeah, I know, I just didn’t feel like writing an essay nor scaring OP off from programming lol

Programming@programming.dev•Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?
41·1 month agoWhen I first started programming I was constantly thinking the same thing: should I learn this or that language? Will it be useful or a waste of time?, etc but it really doesn’t matter. Nearly every modern language has the same core principles of variables, constants, functions and data structures. Once you’ve gotten the hang of those ideas then switching languages is just a matter of learning the new syntax which isn’t hard when you already know how it’s going to work

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It WorkedEnglish
25·2 months agoThey implicitly trusted the AI with no guardrails.
So, Meta released a vulnerability (an incredibly stupid one) and someone took advantage of it to gain access to an account they weren’t authorised to access… which is the definition of hacking

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft's GitHub bans security researcher who posted zero-day Windows exploits because company 'ruined their life' — expert claims action is vindictive and promises further retaliationEnglish
26·2 months agoI do loosely use stars to gauge how popular a library/framework is before investing a lot of time in it, however, I do also use other metrics like PR count, issues, etc

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Bank boss sorry after describing workers as 'lower value human capital'English
25·2 months agoIt’s not even that since they usually end up paying more for AI even when it produces far worse results. The rich just hold a contempt towards the working class and would rather the money they’d use for salaries go to their rich tech company friends in the form of AI-use invoices

Technology@lemmy.world•Two men charged with creating AI-generated porn under new law targeting 'deepfakes'English
3·2 months agoNo, no, it’s only the AI’s responsibility when the actor is a poor old corporation that didn’t mean to break any silly little laws 😖
If the actor isn’t rich or a mega corporation however, well, that’s different and the user should be locked up for good and how dare they sully the good name of the sexual harassment bot the poor old corporation created
I hate having to harass people to review my PRs too but getting rid of them entirely seems insane to me. Most of the issues with pull requests can be sourced more to the size of changes rather than their existence. If you can keep your PRs small enough that someone can review it in 5-10min then things get a lot easier for everyone but deleting the step entirely means nobody is watching what’s being submitted
Like, you might have someone working on something in a new codebase but misunderstanding the architecture or just going in the wrong direction in general and a review is the best way to correct course before getting too far in
That exact chain of events happened to me at my last job and I audibly laughed realising it was my own code. To my own credit though, it was a file I had written four years prior which at that point was more than half my whole career in the past


I’ve always been a little confused by that meme since it’s never been an issue at Canadian Taco Bells
