    Here’s the link for the lazy: https://jmail.world/wiki

    I tried the AI search by the way and it sucked. The ONE thing AI could do spectacularly well is to search through vast troves of documents for relevant terms.

      I think you’re thinking of a search engine, AIs are bad at searching. They just make up a response related to the search term based on their training data.

        AI systems designed for searching normally use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-augmented_generation afaik, which involves directly referencing documents rather than guessing based on initial training data.

          Wouldn’t you just train them on the documents to be searched?

            You get a lot fewer hallucinations if it’s presenting data from sources rather than from its neural network alone. Training data isn’t, like, “in” the AI. It’s just used to shape its creation.

            Normally no, because that is much more difficult, resource intensive, and harder to get reliable results than separately looking up the information and including it in the prompt.

        And if you train them on the document trove, they will be able to answer questions about it. It is a straight up trivial task.

          Make up answers about it. The answers might be right, or they might be wrong, you won’t know unless you read the actual data. So helpful …

            “Give me the line numbers corresponding to the saudi sheik saying he liked the torture videos”

            Are you trying to be obstinate on purpose?

News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.

What doesn’t fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.

  • If article mentions “AI” in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn’t make it tech news.
  • Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
  • Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
  • Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
  • Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it’s too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.

Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don’t like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn’t explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn’t clearly mention the country.


Rules

1. English only

Title and associated content has to be in English.

2. Use original link

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

3. Respectful communication

All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

4. Inclusivity

Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can’t argue your position without attacking a person’s character, you already lost the argument.

6. Off-topic tangents

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

7. Instance rules may apply

If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.
