New tech pulls lithium from dead batteries cheaper than you can buy it
While lithium extraction technologies generally focus on ways to get the essential metal out of the ground, there's another source to mine: existing batteries that no longer work. A new technique could now make that process economically viable.

[META] Discussion about AI-generated content in !superbowl@lemmy.world
I noticed a post on here that was AI-generated and in my opinion off-topic. I don't see the advantages of having AI-generated images on here myself, and prefer real wildlife pictures.
I noticed a lot of people who seemed to agree that this didn't belong here in the comments of the post. Therefore, I propose banning these in this community. What does everyone else think?
Mod ping: @dragonfly@lemmy.world @Smokeless7048@lemmy.world
EDIT: Please don't bash the OP of the mentioned post.

I would personally prefer to not have AI Generated photo realistic content that can easily be mistaken for real photo in this community.
At the same time its very nature makes it really hard to moderate and control, and can easily spiral into witch hunts or limiting the content from only an handful of trusted sources, which would kill the already limited contributions outside of the ones from the wonderful anon.
The only solution I can think of is adding a vague rule, as someone already posted, asking to avoid it and be lenient on the casual trasgressors, asking, educating and warning first. Not straight out banning or demeaning.
At the same time I feel there should be low tolerance towards the amount of vulgar, harsh and honestly disheartening comments that tend to flood discussions even vaguely related to AI on lemmy. There's a really vocal group of people that floods any thread that could potentially be AI or about AI.
I get the reaction, but I think it has no place here: this has always been a wholesome, kind, community.
About artsy AI (drawings, comics, fake paintings, digital pieces etc) I don't really have a strong opinion, mostly because I don't follow this community for the art but mostly for the photos of real owls: I just think it should at least be properly tagged.

I would like to create my own digital chatting "character"
Good day!
I've been thinking about this for quite a while...
The idea is that I would create my own prompts and the answers, without copying anything from anyone.
I lack pretty much any skills in coding however.
So I'm wondering about the easiest way to do it.
Any ideas?
Technology reshared this.
I do not really understand what you want to do. But I think you want to use an existing AI model and create your own personality from it.
Is that correct?
If so, you want to download ollama and run it. Then you will also download and run sillytavern.
In Sillytavern, you can create different characters and give them different personalities.
This does require some technical knowledge, but it does not require you to code anything. You will also need a GPU with ha decent amount of ram for any complexity.
Hmm. Probably not what I'm thinking about.
I'd need just one "being" that replies to messages.
Writing something as a prompt would give some kind of an answer.
And many prompts could lead to many answers.
L'Ucraina ha attaccato due petroliere nel Mar Nero
L'attacco alle navi civili nelle immediate vicinanze del Bosforo su una delle quali si trovava un equipaggio completamente cinese, è una violazione diretta delle norme giuridiche internazionali. Con le sue azioni, Kiev mette a rischio la sicurezza della navigazione nel Mar Nero e provoca l'escalation del conflitto. E tutto ciò nel momento in cui il mondo intero è in attesa di negoziati di pace.
