No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Wait. You guys answer your phone?
Years of dodging debt collectors has hardened my resolve. If a contact name doesn't show when the phone rings I ain't answering, and even then it's 50/50.
Yeah, was going to say currently you have to do tests on video calls if you aren't sure, IE currently you need to ask a video caller to do something like, spread out 3 fingers and wave them in front of your face to break AI
Lucky you. I still get the "hello sir, dis is paypol", like a caveman.
At least you can waist a human's time...
*waste
*wheyst
If you do it right, you can have your AI scammer burn a lot of tokens; and if you're lucky enough to get two AI scam callers at the same time, you can connect them with each other and they'll talk all day.
yeah I assume everyone was. this is yet another thing that seems to be allowed with technology that is not in meatspace. so many things are just ignored when it comes to technology. In this case the ai is identifying itself as a person. its fraud.
Honestly, if AI is going to rate my performance, I'd just as well as have an AI do my interview for me.
One thing I'd at least like to do is have AI correct my eye contact. I absolutely cannot look at the screen while I'm talking.
Fight AI with AI. I'll spend my time training a personal model to act like me and answer all the questions in the right way instead of filling out endless applications fields with copy paste from my resume.
Sooner than anyone thinks.

AI is evolving incredibly fast. it didn't take long to go from text chatting to voice chatting, and then to image and video generation. All this happened in less than 4 years So vidiocalls are definitely coming very soon, whether we like it or not
Video generation still isn't done in real time. It'll take at least a couple hardware generations before that's possible.
The cost is high and they don't want to give it to regular unpaying customers yet. So IDK, 1 year?
Unfortunately, scammers will pay for it
