Articles always had em dashes in them. It‘s a sign of AI in internet posts and comments but not so much in longer text forms I believe. The „It‘s not A. it‘s B!“ thing is really suspicious though. I think it‘s AI too.

Definitely a mix of both. I estimate bot pollution is likely growing much faster than natural Linux desktop adoption, though. Simply because LLM based bots are appearing everywhere. I wouldn‘t be surprised if Linux Desktop breaks the 25% mark soon just because of bots.

Zipping files was never enough to secure them in the cloud. It‘s always recommended to properly encrypt sensitive data properly before you upload it. Whether you use OneDrive, Google Drive, Proton drive or whatever.

Still amazing how far Microslop goes to sniff through your stuff preemptively, though. Your cloud storage should be none of their business but sadly it‘s their entire business now. Privacy laws should definitely extend to digital space you rent no matter the circumstances.

If cloud providers argue that‘s too dangerous then they simply shouldn‘t be in business. If a government says it‘s too dangerous then they shouldn‘t be in power. Obviously they don‘t trust in the people who voted for them. Therefore they don‘t trust democracy and are therefore fundamentally undemocratic and a danger to the people.

And that‘s exactly the problem. Somehow this guy has earned a lot of trust and he wasn‘t handling that trust very well. That‘s why people who stand for something like him, should be held accountable and to higher standards than say your aunt posting AI cats with hats in the family group chat.

I‘m a little surprised how easy Lemmy goes on a millionaire Youtuber who refuses to take actual responsibility of his actions. Mind you, there are worse things than producing slob but people really believed in that guy. And all he offers is a non-apology first where he stated that he doesn‘t really remember. Followed by saying AI psychosis made him do it. Just be an adult, man. That‘s all I‘m asking.

Taking breaks is not what creators do anymore after a backlash as it kills the channel. He will keep posting stuff. Maybe even ride the anti AI wagon for engagement. He‘s a content creator through and through.

For me it’s just another disconnected millionaire Youtuber. But he‘s kind of blaming AI or rather his relationship with LLMs for this dilemma instead of actually reflecting on himself. If he thinks simply abstaining from using LLMs will establish a connection to the people he‘s dead wrong and will likely fall back on AI in no time.

I don‘t know why his political opinions would be worth a headline. He was a Hillary Clinton supporter, calls himself socialist but also vehemently anti-woke, and thinks immigrants equal crime. He may have studied philosophy in Frankfurt but his statements have overall been completely nuts so far. I don‘t think he has it all together.

I don‘t think that comparison works either because you get a new phone for completely unrelated reasons than the door but you only get new keys under rare circumstances. The new phone scenario probably happens more than 5 times as frequently.

With SpaceX we actually have a company that has a real incentive to wreck the planet and that should have everyone concerned.

It‘s so disheartening to see intelligent and somewhat tech savvy people around me buy into it. They treat these things almost like they‘re living beings and offload more of their own thinking capacity to chatbots. No amount of explaining how this is just one of countless publicity stunts can convince them. They‘re acting like I‘m the one who just doesn‘t understand technology while they‘re letting word salad influence how they think or even IF they think.

The housing bubble that popped in china wiped out twice as much capital for Chinese citizens as the 2008 housing and banking crash in the world. Their standards of living have been decaying since 2020 and there is no sign of improvement honestly. Quite the opposite as tariffs, lower exports, automation and the AI craze drive unemployment.

I’m concerned this will allow China to become even more totalitarian and militarized because they won‘t fear sanctions as much anymore. But on the other hand they won‘t crash the entire world economy when they invade a neighboring nation that way. You lose some you win some but ultimately we‘ll have to see and wait how it plays out.

I am convinced of that. They only feared bad press but they have no reason whatsoever to stop.

CEO says

Eat a bag of dogshit.

First apple tag, now this. Apple must really love the creepy stalkers they cater to.

I only scrolled over it but every time I stopped to read another sentence, it got worse.

From what I understood open-weights models are too efficient, too cheap, don’t consume enough energy, and don’t require to construct as many super data centers. That’s why they are… dangerous?

The schizophrenia of the AI industry is laid bare in this fever dream of a statement. My god, we really cannot afford to have tech CEOs running things as a society. All they seem to be interested in is killing us.

So China has their own ouroboros now. Congratulations?

It‘s how virtually every startup in Silicon Valley still operates. Bait and Switch is the business model of the 21st century.

Remember when OpenAI seemed idealistic? To most people, anyway. This is the same. DeepSeek has already been caught lying to inflate hype. They‘re grifters like all the other AI companies.
