DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT's web search, Ecosia, and Qwant all stopped working this morning because of Bing API. 😂 And they want Microsoft Copilot deeply integrated with Windows OS. Imagine someone is unable to book emergency medical appointments because Microsoft Copilot is down or you can't withdraw money or transfer funds through netbanking because AI and screenshot services are down. This is a good example of why we must not trust someone like Microsoft for anything serious.

Amused at how Altman helped himself to a woman who denied him multiple times, because he was fond of her*, and despite the fact that she was literally the only person in recent history to sue Disney and win - and that no one else in his circle tried to dissuade him (or had enough pull or made enough effort to be successful).

Says a lot about the people at the helm of the "AI revolution".

PCGamesN wrote up that the Steam Deck is hitting 18,000 games playable/verified. This is completely incorrect. It's closing in on 15,000.

Valve did not verify ~4,000 in only about two months 🙃

I reached out, hopefully they correct all the numbers in the article being wrong.

The challenge with a federated DeviantArt platform will be payments, if they can offload that to a 3rd party by allowing users to add links to the store, it could work IMO

Otherwise, each instance would have to host their own Stripe payments account, and other complexities

Not to mention, giving Apple/Google Play 30% of the cut

In @pixelfed, we're handling this by allowing users to add links to specific items that redirect to 3rd party platforms

We can do this, watch me 😎

    Spektakuläre Einblicke ins Universum von der Sonde Euclid! 🌌👀 Ziel der europäischen Euclid-Mission ist die Erstellung einer 3D-Karte des Universums und die Erforschung Dunkler Energie und Materie im Weltall. Die Sonde ist darauf spezialisiert, Himmelsbereiche gleichzeitig zu beobachten, die mehr als 100mal größer sind als das, was bisherige Teleskope leisten konnten. 🔭 Die Deutsche Raumfahrtagentur im DLR koordinierte die Entwicklung und Bau der Hauptoptik von Euclid. ℹ️: https://www.dlr.de/de/aktuelles/nachrichten/2024/mission-euclid-liefert-erste-wissenschaftliche-daten

    When I left Twitter, I worried that it would impact my ability to make a living.

    That worry was unfounded.

    Would I be doing better if I was still on Twitter? Perhaps. But looking at my visitors on Kickstarter, it's clear that the fedi is a more than adequate replacement.

    I really hope Scarlett Johansson will burn OpenAI and especially Sam Altman down to the ground 🔥

    That guy does whatever he wants no matter if people say no, it has to stop

    What is it with Sam's in tech that steal everything left and right 🤔

    Altman acts like a Bankman Fried but apparently the world is okay with it since he brings them a fun tool

    Reading this🧵? Your blood probably contains some amount of toxic made by

    Enough to spike your risk of cancers & illnesses?

    Without a blood test, you have no idea.

    Why is their toxin running in your veins?

    Well, 3M & kept the harms secret even as their toxins were incorporated into...everything.

    From french fry bags to chairs.

    They gaslit their own scientists.

    & regularly dumped, creating toxic zones. 1/

    Scarlett Johansson has dealt with deepfakes, robots in her likeness, and now OpenAI mimicking her voice because she wouldn’t license it.

    She’s used to fighting these battles. The spotlight she casts on generative AI may finally prompt regulatory action.

    For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

    From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

    Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

    I got ahold of the Copilot+ software.

    Recall uses a bunch of services themed CAP - Core AI Platform. Enabled by default.

    It spits constant screenshots (the product brands then “snapshots”, but they’re hooked screenshots) into the current user’s AppData as part of image storage.

    The NPU processes them and extracts text, into a database file.

    The database is SQLite, and you can access it as the user including programmatically. It 100% does not need physical access and can be stolen.

    And if you didn’t believe me.. found this on TikTok.

    There’s an MSFT employee in the background saying “I don’t know if the team is going to be very happy…”

    They should probably be transparent about it, rather than telling BBC News you’d need to be physically at the PC to hack it (not true). Just a thought.

    Ciao Google

    Ich benutze eine Suchmaschine, um Websiten zu finden.

    Wenn Google meint demnächst für mich Googlen zu müssen und mir Antworten statt Links ausgibt,

    dann werde ich halt eine Suchmaschine nehmen, die mich Suchen lässt, statt mir das Finden abzunehmen.

    When global warming gets bad enough to create millions of refugees, just imagine how nasty the EU and US will become. They may just send people out to the desert to die.

    Oh wait, you don't have to imagine! It's happening already:

    "A year-long joint investigation by The Washington Post, Lighthouse Reports and a consortium of international media outlets shows how the European Union and individual European nations are supporting and financing aggressive operations by governments in North Africa to detain tens of thousands of migrants each year and dump them in remote areas, often barren deserts.

    European funds have been used to train personnel and buy equipment for units implicated in desert dumps and human rights abuses, records and interviews show. Migrants have been pushed back into the most inhospitable parts of North Africa, exposing them to abandonment with no food or water, kidnapping, extortion, sale as human chattel, torture, sexual violence and, in the worst instances, death."
