Yesterday, I replied to a question in the Godot forum with a wrong answer (since I misunderstood the question at first). Today, if you google "godot delete pattern", that answer will be displayed as a "featured snippet" right on top. 🙄 (The correct answer is in the same thread, but so far Google hasn't picked up on it)
Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Meta while shove AI down your throat whether you like it or not. If you want to do anything on the Internet, you will HAVE to use AI.
Cory Doctorow was right. The Enshittification is here.
"A billionaire got mad, bought your favourite social media site and ran it into the ground. A different billionaire got mad, bought the magazine site you liked to read on your lunchbreak and shut it down completely. "

This notification in the #Windows start menu is to get me to sign in so they can serve ads all over the OS, right? No thanks. #Microsoft#enshittification
It's sad that not only large companies go through the #enshittification cycle, I'm starting to notice it in many content creators too.
I started following their feeds, YouTube channels, newsletters, etc. because I enjoyed what they said, the topics they brought up, and the way they discussed them. But as they gain traction, the quality of their products take a hit as they all inevitably veer towards self-promotion of courses, seminars, books, etc.
Zawsze, ale to zawsze jest tak samo... Z każdym serwisem prowadzonym nie dla ludzi, a jedynie dla zysku... #zgównienie#enshittification
"Użytkownicy #Slack-a są przerażeni, gdy odkrywają wiadomości używane do szkolenia AI. Slack w obliczu ostrej reakcji twierdzi, że zmiany polityki są nieuchronne."
We're currently looking for a new refrigerator because we're renovating our kitchen. The existing built in fridge has been there for the 16 years that we've lived here, and who knows how long before. It's awful: The internal temperature fluctuates between freezing and 8 C and it guzzles electricity - measurement suggests ~500 kWh per year.
For some reason all new built in fridges still have high energy usage, so we're only looking at free-standing models.
Most fridge/freezer combi models are absurdly large. It's a stretch to reach the top shelf inside.
All the A-rated refrigerators are huge and have apps. Linking appliances to the internet is IMO stupid and in any case white goods ought to last longer than mobile phones.
Some of the B rated models are only just behind the 'A's in energy usage but they usually have apps as well.
Then there's the problem of avoiding boycotted brands (#siemens linked to Israel and Russia, #liebherr and #samsung to Russia, #Beko to Turkey).
Aha, I get it now: the GenAI enshittification of cloud services like Slack, StackOverflow, Google, Discord, MSFT, and all the rest is a conspiracy by lonely SysAdmins who miss the old days of running IT equipment in-house and are pushing a return to on-prem 🖥️💽⌨️

#Enshittification of the sky continues: After shitting in optical #astronomy pool, new exciting development appears: to shit all over both optical and #radioastronomy at once!
Whoever can, please send your opinion to FCC. No need to be US citizen. #Sky is for billions, not for billionaires.

I am totally floored by the bold, drunk on LLM idea that Slack by Saleforce has right now: They want to compromise the privacy of customer data to train their implementation of an LLM.
This is beyond cursed because Salesforce has the audacity to make this scheme an opt-out instead of op-in to maximize the data accumulation.
I hope the uproar this will generate makes Slack step the hell back!
