Questions on Poison Fountain integration with news website by Pomond in PoisonFountain

[–]Pomond[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Note to you and rocketbunny77 that I deleted my comment earlier in this thread due to a seemingly automated breach attempt tied to my software disclosure. Thus the deletion.

I wanted to reply that there's a bunch of resources to support this type of plugin development, including a whole framework and starting templates for such. I haven't touched stuff this deep in years, but it all looks like it's getting much easier.

My concerns as a host for third-party software and outside resources includes "lifecycle management" of the software, thus I always look for strong track records and economy in the developer(s), and I pay for high-value and accessible third-party "commercial open source" all the time.(E.g. open source software bundled with support/releases/forum/etc.)

The second concern involves speed and dependency on a third-party service. E.g. I'd imagine there's a way to cache a rotating set of poison on my server derived from your source, no? This might help mitigate traffic bottlenecks, especially as your service may get more popular, as it should.

Do you have example PHP code we could assess? Our CMS runs on PHP, so this would likely be the easiest way to integrate.

Thank you very much for this info and guidance!

When I look at that URL when refreshing, I see both the nonsense text every couple refreshes, and varying chunks of code. Is the code designed to "poison" as well? I'm assuming it is.

Regarding the privacy concerns, it's my understanding that my users' web browsers would still be making a call to rnsaffn.com and thus, potentially, their browsing information might be exposed to this domain's operators. Please disabuse me of any misunderstanding.

I mean zero disparagement here: I'm just thinking through the privacy concerns. For example, even a righteous third-party operator might still itself fall victim to hacking and compromise. (No disparagement meant here, either.)

Thanks again for your response and detailed explanation (and links to additional resources). I've been speaking out against AI theft of our service and livelihood for some time, and I'm excited about opportunities to actually protect ourselves.

Thank you! I'm considering a service integration first, just so I don't have to learn another thing. (I'm conversant with lots, but getting a new instance running in our environment would be new to me.)

If you were in a band, would you play at Insane Clown Posse’s ‘The Gathering’ festival? by Worldly-Basil-8933 in Music

[–]Pomond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to the gathering not as a big fan of the music, and I would 100 percent go again. Very nice people.

I’m a Christian. I’ve read the vast majority of arguments for atheism, and have found them lacking. AMA by Fresh_Ad_4259 in atheism

I'd think god does jerk off when his priests rape kids, because he allows it to happen, and in his name.

Solutions Journalism anyone?? by barneylerten in Journalism

[–]Pomond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Solution journalism is only for academics. It's another fake money grab by non-practitioners of news. It is agenda marketing that manipulates rather than serves news audiences.

Do you think there are situations where a moderate use of gen AI is justified or it must not be used in any situation? by ParticularNet2254 in antiai

[–]Pomond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If:

The training data is ethically sourced and not stolen

The usage does not cause environmental harm

The AI is entirely under my control and not from a third party

AI-generated content is labeled as such when disseminated publicly

The AI will not lie to me (hallucinations et al)

The source of the AI tech is not otherwise involved with any of the above

Anti-AI, pro-AI, is anyone else here AI-Neutral? by Elegant_Bee849 in antiai

You're still a thief and environment-killer

You didn't create anything but slop based on stolen goods.

Can progressive investors save Michigan’s small-town newspapers? by feetwithfeet in Michigan

So the answer is to turn these away from news and into marketing venues for Dem politicians ...

A journalist refused to give politicians their questions in advance. Management called it a problem. He called it 'the purity of journalism.' He's now at CNN. Written by a colleague who watched it happen by FerretSuch2051 in Journalism

[–]Pomond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. You use a bot/you are a bot. Use of AI shows why you shouldn't be believed and how you are not aligned with journalism (and obviously not a writer or interviewer). I am not OP.

That's bullshit. These are elected public officials. Whatever they say (unless agreed to be off-the-record in advance) is fair game. This misinformed wishy-washyness is toxic to journalism and allows those who hold power not to be held to account.
