I encounter an attitude with a lot of people who really hate it where they act like it's the Antichrist but the problem is really people. Unfortunately you can't uninvent a technology and make it go away forever.
There are some tasks that it's useful for but I treat it like a really stupid guy who is occasionally fun to talk to. Anything involving important information will be researched properly. The idea of using it to write anything is insane to me, in order for it to be half decent you'd have to tear out large sections and rewrite them yourself. At which point why would you just write the thing.
There is one feature that GPT has that I don't know how to get on a locally hosted instance, i'd like to host my own but I'm too inept. Being able to upload files for it to "look" at is novel. Also having it not be censored would be good. As well as having it entirely contained within my computer.
How Digital Press Releases Are Changing Brand Visibility in 2025
In today’s fast-moving online world, traditional media coverage is no longer enough to get your brand noticed. Digital press releases have evolved into powerful tools for building brand authority, improving SEO, and driving targeted traffic.
I recently came across Smart Press Hub, which offers streamlined press release writing and distribution services designed for modern businesses. What caught my attention is how they focus on blending traditional PR strategies with online marketing tactics to maximize exposure.

La pupilla di Van Gogh
Mary Rood “la pupilla di Van Gogh”
La pupilla di Van Gogh è un romance dallo sfondo storico e romanzato che immerge il lettore nel passato e nell’amore.
La protagonista di questo libro si fingerà un uomo per poter raggiungere i suoi sogni: diventare una pittrice.
La vita per le donne dell’Ottocento non era semplice, siamo nella metà del secolo e iniziano le prime silenziose rivendicazioni femminili che dovranno come sappiamo bene attendere un altro secolo perché prendano fuoco e si accendano in tutta Europa e America.
Eppure, Marie la nostra piccola ma sagace e forte protagonista lotta contro il destino dell’essere donna! Sotta una fascia strettissima nasconde il suo seno, mette calzoni, maglietta da uomo e un cappello sotto cui nasconde i suoi splendidi capelli.
Un affascinante storia alla scoperta di un mondo fatto di sogni e colori perché Marie riuscirà ad entrare nella cerchia di pittori vicino a Vincent Van Gogh e, quando lui scoprirà chi è, ne rimarrà soddisfatto e affascinato.
Sarà l’amore a completare la vita di Marie un amore mai preso in considerazione.
La meraviglia
Marie cresciuta senza padre perché morto, aveva imparato a fare i conti senza la sua presenza, ma uno strano incontro e una rivelazione inseguito la porteranno a dubitare sulla vera morte del padre. Forse egli è ancora vivo?
Un romance che non parla solo d’amore ma anche al cuore del lettore una scrittura piacevole, pulita e ben definita quella di Mary Rood che conquista tutti coloro che la leggono.
Una storia che sa far piangere ed emozionare.

Big Updates Are Coming to Loops
There's a lot of cool stuff in the pipeline for the open source federated alternative to Tiktok and Vine, including a Web UI and a boatload of new features. Let's dive in, and see what's coming in the next release.
Big Updates Are Coming to Loops
Loops, the open source Tiktok alternative for the Fediverse, is continuing to grow and evolve. Although the platform launched with a fairly limited featureset, development has ramped up to pull in some ambitious new features. Daniel Supernault has this to say:With Loops, we saw an opportunity to bring short video to the fediverse in a way that feels familiar, fun, and safe — while building something new beyond Pixelfed: a community-first platform of its own.Daniel Supernault, Pixelfed Development lead
There’s a lot of new features coming in to the video-sharing platform. Let’s break down some of the most significant ones:Loops Comes to the Web
One of the most important updates of this development cycle concerns a new Web interface for the Loops platform. Soon, users will no longer be constrained to Android or iOS clients to make use of Loops and its social features.
Demo courtesy of Daniel Supernault
The new UI looks incredibly slick, and feels like an evolution of Pixelfed’s own design language. Bringing a Web interface to Loops feels like a smart idea, as it opens up the possibility for more people to use it.
The new Web UI also ships with a Dark Mode, for those of you hoping to shield your eyes from a bright browser page. It’s clean, and really makes the video content pop.
Better User Controls
A big design focus for Loops (and presumably, Pixelfed) centers around giving users greater control over their online experience. This includes what they see on the timeline, who can interact with them, and whether posts can be interacted with in the first place. Taking further lessons from Pixelfed, Loops also brings in comprehensive tools for blocking bad actors, and keeping your timeline civil.
A new user-wellness feature here is called Screen Time, which helps keep track of how often a person is logged into Loops and watching videos. While it’s something of a niche feature, it’s nice to know that there are ways to set daily time limits.Self-Hosting
The backend code for Loops has been open to the wider community for a while, but the prospect of including a Web-facing interface solidifies the possibility that Loops will soon formally allow admins to host their own Loops instances. This boils down to a few critically important features for the network: admin controls, customization, and federation support.mastodon.social/@dansup/114757…
Admin Controls and Customization
A big focus of Loops development has involved encouraging admins to set up their own community instances. Loops takes a lot of the lessons learned from Pixelfed, and incorporates a lot of flexibility for admins to make their instances stand out, while providing necessary tools to keep communities safe.Custom Links and Pages in Loops
Admins will be happy to see the addition of custom pages and navigation for instances. With the upcoming release, it will be even easier for admins to put need-to-know instance info front and center to their community. This could include sharing community messaging channels, donation links, methods for getting updates from the admin, or details pertaining to server status.Federation Support
It might not seem obvious, but Loops technically already supports ActivityPub federation. It’s just that the flagship instance at loops.video only has the feature enabled for select accounts, for testing purposes. Nevertheless, federated following and interactions are possible, and seem to work.Dan’s account on Loops.Video does in fact federate. Here it is, as seen from Mastodon.
The significance of Loops turning on federation capabilities cannot be understated. Short-form video is an extremely popular medium, and bringing it in to the Fediverse gives people a new way to talk to one another, and might just be the incentive needed to get more video creators on the network.Loops Studio
One of the more exciting features coming in an update is Loops Studio, a creator’s dashboard designed for uploading and managing videos, viewing interactions, and keeping track of analytics and engagement. This could provide a solid incentive for content creators to commit to using Loops full-time, and allow them to better engage with their friends and followers across the network.
Interestingly, the new composer for creating loops includes some unique capabilities that seem to be directly inspired from Tiktok: there are options to allow other users to stitch your video into theirs, allow users to perform a duet with you, and also disclose Not Safe for Work content. There’s even a way to tag whether something was created using generative AI.Loops Sound Library
Details on this feature are scarce, but this NLNet-funded project is designed to allow Loops videos to incorporate music from Fediverse musicians that allow for remixing and resharing. The feature reportedly will allow users to select tracks from Funkwhale and possibly other federated music platforms for background music in their videos, while preserving attribution.The idea of integrating with Funkwhale and other federated music servers is older than it sounds. Over the years, Dansup has experimented with various mockups and ideas on how to incorporate music capabilities into Pixelfed. It seems like some of that work may have eventually influenced this feature.
Comprehensive Data Export
Being an open and federated platform, Loops is aiming to include an export data for all of your videos, posts, and social connections. The goal here is to give users the ability to migrate to other Loops servers and retain their follower graph, much in the same way that Mastodon does. Hopefully, in the future, this might also give users the ability to pull in videos and activities from their old instances when moving.
In Conclusion
Loops is a massive, ambitious undertaking, and it’s exciting to see so much development effort finally bear fruit. While we still have to wait a little while longer for a release to ship and for the flagship instance to get updated, I’m extremely hopeful about the prospects of having a free and open Tiktok / Vine alternative for the Fediverse.Audio Support (via FunkWhale)

Lebanese protesters reject Hezbollah disarmament, defend ‘right to defense against foreign invasion’
Lebanese people have taken to the streets in the capital Beirut, voicing support for the country’s resistance movement Hezbollah and protesting mounting US- and Israeli-led pressure towards the group’s disarmament.
The rallies took place in the city’s Dhahiyeh neighborhood on Monday night, with participants shouting slogans in favor of “the right to defense in the face of foreign invasion.”
The attendants, who included droves of bike-riding supporters, waved Hezbollah’s flags, hailing the movement as a “major” contributor to the country’s defense.
Hezbollah was formed in 1982 with a mandate to defend the country in the face of Tel Aviv, which has been occupying the country’s Shebaa Farms on the common border with Syria since 1967, as well as the regime’s increasing regional expansionism drive.
Ever since, both the regime and the United States, its biggest supporter, have been mounting pressure on the country to have the movement disarmed.
The pressure has grown since 2023 after Hezbollah began staging solidarity operations in support of the Gaza Strip that had come under a genocidal Israeli war.
It soon evolved into heavily Washington-backed escalated Israeli aggression against the country that went on to claim the lives of more than 4,000 people.
Participants in the Monday rally also held up pictures of the movement’s current officials as well as those who have been martyred, including the leading figures assassinated throughout the escalation.
Hezbollah itself has vowed to continue defending the nation, as it successfully has throughout both the escalation and two full-scale Israeli wars in the 2000s. It has warned the Lebanese against succumbing to the pressure tactics that are aimed at serving the regime’s expansionist ambitions.

More than 130,000 Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, and Other LLM Chats Readable on Archive.org
cross-posted from: piefed.social/post/1127664

More than 130,000 Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, and Other LLM Chats Readable on Archive.org
A researcher has found that more than 130,000 conversations with AI chatbots including Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, and others are discoverable on the Internet Archive, highlighting how peoples’ interactions with LLMs may be publicly archived if users are not careful with the sharing settings they may enable.The news follows earlier findings that Google was indexing ChatGPT conversations that users had set to share, despite potentially not understanding that these chats were now viewable by anyone, and not just those they intended to share the chats with. OpenAI had also not taken steps to ensure these conversations could be indexed by Google.
“I obtained URLs for: Grok, Mistral, Qwen, Claude, and Copilot,” the researcher, who goes by the handle dead1nfluence, told 404 Media. They also found material related to ChatGPT, but said “OpenAI has had the ChatGPT[.]com/share links removed it seems.” Searching on the Internet Archive now for ChatGPT share links does not return any results, while Grok results, for example, are still available.
Dead1nfluence wrote a blog post about some of their findings on Sunday and shared the list of more than 130,000 archived LLM chat links with 404 Media. They also shared some of the contents of those chats that they had scraped. Dead1nfluence wrote that they found API keys and other exposed information that could be useful to a hacker.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
“While these providers do tell their users that the shared links are public to anyone, I think that most who have used this feature would not have expected that these links could be findable by anyone, and certainly not indexed and readily available for others to view,” dead1nfluence wrote in their blog post. “This could prove to be a very valuable data source for attackers and red teamers alike. With this, I can now search the dataset at any time for target companies to see if employees may have disclosed sensitive information by accident.”404 Media verified some of dead1influence’s findings by discovering specific material they flagged in the dataset, then going to the still-public LLM link and checking the content.
💡
Do you know anything else about this? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.Most of the companies whose AI tools are included in the dataset did not respond to a request for comment. Microsoft which owns Copilot acknowledged a request for comment but didn't provide a response in time for publication. A spokesperson for Anthrophic, which owns Claude, told 404 Media: “We give people control over sharing their Claude conversations publicly, and in keeping with our privacy principles, we do not share chat directories or sitemaps with search engines like Google. These shareable links are not guessable or discoverable unless people choose to publicize them themselves. When someone shares a conversation, they are making that content publicly accessible, and like other public web content, it may be archived by third-party services. In our review of the sample archived conversations shared with us, these were either manually requested to be indexed by a person with access to the link or submitted by independent archivist organizations who discovered the URLs after they were published elsewhere across the internet first.” 404 Media only shared a small sample of the Claude links with Anthrophic, not the entire list.
Fast Company first reported that Google was indexing some ChatGPT conversations on July 30. This was because of a sharing feature ChatGPT had that allowed users to send a link to a ChatGPT conversation to someone else. OpenAI disabled the sharing feature in response. OpenAI CISO Dane Stuckey said in a previous statement sent to 404 Media: “This was a short-lived experiment to help people discover useful conversations. This feature required users to opt-in, first by picking a chat to share, then by clicking a checkbox for it to be shared with search engines.”
A researcher who requested anonymity gave 404 Media access to a dataset of nearly 100,000 ChatGPT conversations indexed on Google. 404 Media found those included the alleged texts of non-disclosure agreements, discussions of confidential contracts, and people trying to use ChatGPT for relationship issues.
Others also found that the Internet Archive contained archived LLM chats.

Genova: svelato il misterioso segnale captato dai radioamatori un anno fa
Dopo oltre un anno di analisi, indagini e confronti anche con esperti internazionali, l’Associazione Ricerca Italiana Aliena (A.R.I.A.), guidata dall’ufologo Angelo Maggioni, annuncia di aver risolto uno dei casi più misteriosi degli ultimi tempi: il segnale anomalo captato a Genova da un radioamatore nel febbraio 2024.
A supporto dell’inchiesta sono stati coinvolti vari consulenti, tra cui un esperto di effetti speciali e un ingegnere del suono che aveva individuato alcune anomalie nei dati. Fondamentale è stato anche il confronto con il SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), e in particolare con il dott. Graziano Chiaro dell’INAIF Milano (intervistato dalla stessa associazione qualche tempo fa) , referente per il SETI Italia. Fin da subito erano state avanzate due ipotesi: o si trattava di un segnale davvero anomalo… oppure di un’interferenza provocata da velivoli militari in alta quota.
Le più recenti informazioni confermano che in quei giorni erano attivi voli militari sopra il Nord Italia, probabilmente legati al conflitto in Ucraina e ai corridoi aerei utilizzati per missioni militari europee. Secondo quanto ricostruito, è molto probabile che il misterioso segnale si sia sovrapposto a una normale trasmissione tra radioamatori, creando un’anomalia solo apparente. «Non ci sono stati altri casi simili nelle stesse aree – da Loano a Genova, da La Spezia a Milano e Torino – nemmeno nei momenti in cui abbiamo registrato un picco di avvistamenti UFO tra giugno e luglio», spiega Angelo Maggioni. Tra questi, episodi degni di nota come l'avvistamento di un grande oggetto non identificato da parte di Nicolas P. a Genova, e un altro evento tra Ventimiglia e Nizza.
«Tutti questi elementi ci portano oggi a chiudere il caso: per noi, quel segnale ha un’origine spiegabile. Non c'è mistero, e non ha senso alimentare speculazioni inutili», precisa Maggioni. «A.R.I.A. lavora da sempre con serietà e rigore: evitiamo il sensazionalismo, perché non fa bene né alla ricerca né all’informazione».
L’associazione dichiara quindi ufficialmente declassato il caso da fenomeno anomalo a fenomeno identificato, prendendo le distanze da chi, ancora oggi, tenta di alimentare narrazioni esagerate e infondate.

What red flags? Why is it a red flag is an be experienced developer used cursor on a larger project? Put it into words.
limer
in reply to 3abas • • •When adding code this way, one needs to look it over and read to fix bugs or things that are not quite correct; stats show experienced developers often are faster not using this approach because debugging existing code takes longer than writing it fresh.
The speed is not the issue.
What matters is sometimes subtle bugs are introduced that require several people to catch. If at all. These issues might be unique to the Llm.
Having large sections of generated code offers the possibility of hard to find problems.
Some codes are more sensitive to such issues.
The details of how the code was added, and what it does, may render this issue harmless or very much a problem to be avoided.
This is why it’s a flag and not a condemnation

I use AI when I master my audio tracks. I am clinically deaf and there are some frequency ranges that I can't hear well enough to master. So I lean heavily on AI. I use AI for explaining unfamiliar code to me. Now, I don't run and implement such code in a production environment. You have to do your due diligence. If you searched for the same info in a search engine, you still have to do your due diligence. Search engine results aren't always authoritative. It's just that Grok is much faster at searching and in fact, lists the sources it pulled the info from. Again, much faster than engaging a search engine and slogging through site after site.

in reply to irmadlad • • •You can't practically "trust but verify" with LLMs. I task an LLM to summarize an article. If I want to check its work, I have to go and read that whole article myself. The checking takes as much time as just writing the summary myself. And this is even worse with code, as you have to be able to deconstruct the AI's code and figure out its internal logic. And by the time you've done that, it's easier to just make the code yourself.
It's not that you can't verify the work of AI. It's that if you do, you might as well just create the thing yourself.

in reply to irmadlad • • •There it is. The bold-faced lie.
"I don't blindly trust AI, I just ask it to summarize something, read the output, then read the source article too. Just to be sure the AI summarized it properly."
Nobody is doing double the work. If you ask AI a question, it only gets a vibe check at best.

in reply to irmadlad • • •It's easy to post on a forum and say so.
Maybe you even are actually asking AI questions and researching whether or not it's accurate.
Perhaps you really are the world's most perfect person.
But even if that's true, which I very seriously doubt, then you're going to be the extreme minority. People will ask AI a question, and if they like the answers given, they'll look no further.
If they don't like the answers given, they'll ask the AI with different wording until they get the answer they want.

An aside, I just pulled a fuck load of vinyl asbestos tile out of a house a year ago and while it wasn't actually all that dangerous because I took proper precautions it's sorta scary anyway cause of the poor interaction thing.

in reply to fluffy • • •It's a single data data point, nothing more, nothing less. But that single data point is evidence of using LLMs in their code generation.
Time will tell if this is a molehill or a mountain. When it comes to data privacy, given that it just takes one mistake and my data can be compromised, I'm going to be picky about who I park my data with.
I'm not necessarily immediately looking to jump ship, but I consider it a red flag that they're using developer tools centered around using AI to generate code.

in reply to XenGi • • •and that's what I do. I trust that they are doing it. what better can I do? the other option is to use a provider that 100% is not doing that, which does not seem to be better. or hosting it for myself, which maybe a small minority of people are capable to do it

in reply to cookie019 • • •Have you actually asked proton support about this issue, if so what have they said?
It seems like you got frustrated and instead of trying to get help you decided to complain on lemmy.

It seems more and more this was a bad faith post. I'm not sure I believe you even use proton.

If you didn't care about what others thought you wouldn't have made the post.

in reply to cookie019 • • •Seems a fair question to ask someone who makes a post to direct people away from a service under the presumption that they were trying to use it, only to find in the comments that they already use a different service that they not only enjoy, but are happy to freely advertise for.
Also, your justification for their lack of crypto payments is that they use a payment system they designed themselves, which I find funny since most of the complaints I see about Proton (granted, not yours) is the unverifiability of their operations, leaning on "Just trust me, bro." which is the same thing as this site's payment processing system. 🤭

It's okay to have privacy concerns regarding that, but don't make shit up to make it sound worse than it was.

in reply to IO 😇 • • •There is a relatively small number of shared Tor exit node IP addresses.
So it’s more likely using Tor will trigger “too many attempts for IP” throttling for any service with bot protection.
It’s nothing against Tor, but is an expected side-affect of attempting to be anonymous by sharing the same IP address with many people.

in reply to cookie019 • • •Just tested it, same here. Clearnet works but tor not. I will contact support since part of the reason I like to pay for unlimited is to subsidize free, anonymous accounts.
Edit: here is my other comment:
I previously commented I would write the support, now I actually read the docs first and found out why:
If you want to create an account over tor you can, just not via the clearnet URL, probably due to rate limiting by IP adress. However if you use their Onion Link as specified in this article by their support (proton.me/support/tor-setup) it works just fine (as far as I just tested). So great! Because using .onion services is far more secure than accessing clearnet over Tor anyway.
Here the url, verify it with the link in the support article tho: protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleeg…

I use pgp and host mail myself. It's not as hard, and it's by far less problematic than a lot of people make it out to be. Don't trust hosters.
