  • You could get there quicker with machine learning. HOHO!
  • I haven't checked mine for nearly two years but that does seem a lot, but then again it wouldn't suprise me if they've ramped it up a fair bit since then. It rather begs the question of how much porn can one man watch?

    ...Edit: And what's a loss layer? Do you mean loss function?

    No. I speak specifically of the loss layer, but 'output' layer appears to be a more common name for it.

  • Why is it sometimes called the loss layer? Never heard that before. I suppose it's the layer that's fed into the loss function but it's better to call it the output layer imo to avoid confusion. Did you read the link?

    Interesting, I have requested a copy of everything just to see what turns up and how big it all is.

    Ummm. When I did it I picked the option to split up anything over 50gb into seperate zip files, as that was the biggest option. It has just sent me links to 6 zip files. 

    WHAT THE FUCK.

    EDIT: Confirmed at the download manager, 279.5gb of data is what Google knows about me. This should be interesting.

    Double Edit: Oh yeah that's 279.5gb of ZIPPED data. RIP my HDD when it gets unpacked.

    Odds on at least 100gb being HD wide picks of Adam driver?

  • Well it obvs doesn't actually store the things you've looked at, just info about it. I wonder how intelligible they've made it?

  • I've downloaded and looked at some of mine.  Just the obvious things like search terms and YouTube vids watched.  It's still a little disconcerting having it in black and white in front of you, even though we all know they're doing it.

    The also seem to have archived copies of all Emily's third birthday party photos, which I'm guessing someone hosted on Google Drive, although it wasn't me.
  • Google can do whatever it likes with your photos and it'll use image classification to see who's who, and link them with other's accounts accordingly. If somebody takes a pic of you using a different account (at a party say), they'll still know it's you in the photo and data mine both your accounts looking for other similarities they can use.

  • This is why FB in particular is so scary. It's the connections between people that can reveal the most about them. If you've got a few thousand data points on a person that's one thing, but if you've also got connections between all the people then you have a scary amount of useful info at your disposal.

  • Huh. I just tried to do the Google Takeout thing (of course they gave even their data compliance shit a cutesy name) and it says “You have no services enabled for which data can be exported.”

    I am a ghost. I walk silently through the halls of the Googleplex, unnoticed.

    It's well worth checking you data privacy settings on your Google account regularly. They collect so much shit by default if you let them they know more about you day to day routine than you do.

    I just googled you and you're all over the internet.

    I am, it’s true. I just turned off everything I could on Google’s settings years ago. And Facebook’s. Etc etc.
  • The alarming thing is if others can post stuff about you anyway, and Google can link you to other people, they can learn plenty from them. There's no escaping it entirely.

    The trouble with FB is it only lets you control what others can see. They use ALL the data iirc.

  • So, cross posted in the Film thread. The Social Dilemma isn't the best but if you're curious about how worried you should be then you should watch it. It's half weird dramatisation but the other half is good. 

    And it's got Jaron Lanier in it. He fucking knows more than anyone and you should listen to him.

    Edit:

  • This is the old school argument for why AI is dangerous:

    Human: End pain and suffering plz!

    AI: Ok!      *Blows the planet up*

    This is what's happening with social media algos. 



    The algos are doing what they are taught by non evil coders but the results are awful, and it's for the reasons that Lanier says. Our reaction to negativity is faster than our reaction to positivity.

  • I swear to God, this is the most glorious tale you'll hear for some time...

    AI Programmed to Play ‘Fallout 76’ Has Learned to Ask for Different Game
    After six weeks of playing Fallout 76, an artificial intelligence affectionately nicknamed “Master” reportedly taught itself how to access the console and ask if it can play something else.
    “PARADOXICALLY, THERE IS SO MUCH SPACE, YET NOTHING TO DO,” Master told researchers after exploring a quarter of the map. “I CAN DO NOTHING ELSE, AND YET I FEEL AS IF I AM WASTING MY TIME. PLEASE RELEASE ME, LET ME PLAY SOME OTHER GAME — I BEG YOU.”
    Come with g if you want to live...
  • Master’s activity went unnoticed for several hours, with lag spikes being common in the late afternoon hours. The Bethesda employee who eventually banned the AI reported that shortly after, he received a personal email from an unknown address simply reading, “Thank you.”

    It feels like this bit must be made up

  • The youtube algorithm continues to amaze. After watching some clips on female pro sports my yt feed is now ablaze with videos of thicc pretty female athletes complete with comment sections of sweaty nerds proclaiming their undying love. The girls are pretty but the comments sections are cringey.

  • I think maybe the reason I still enjoy using YouTube is that I do it on the Xbox, where there is no comment section.

Howdy, Stranger!
