“Survey journalism” is not journalism.

Everyone: We put “AI” in the thing!

Agenda: We thoroughly improved search.

So good.

European and local elections done! (Well, I’ll need to get to a post box 😂)

So, Mr. micro.blog now defends/explains Sam Altman and promotes 37signals in a 24 hour span… 😬

That’s not a good look.

weirdwriter,

@yatil Why can’t tech help itself? I really don’t get it and this especially sucks because MicroBlog is a decent service otherwise. This is super frustrating!

@weirdwriter I don’t know and I don’t understand either.

The more @upgrade talks about that Siri needs to do Chatbot crap, the less I’m looking forward to iOS 18. I want Siri to know better stuff about my phone and my data, not a bad hallucinating web search, which is what GPT does.

Love that we here in Germany are basically prohibited from getting vaccinations, even voluntarily, unless we meet certain condition – mostly age and existing illness.

“You first have to get LongCOVID before we allow you vaccinations to avoid the thing you got” is bad policy. https://zirk.us/@AlexKourvo/112469763159775160

@yatil Same in Ireland. You have to be 80 to get a booster. It’s madness.

Reminder that new COVID variants might be more effective, even when vaccinated. Watch wastewater data. Take care of yourself. Mask. https://mastodon.social/

@yatil Currently my favorite of the latest RTD run, including the Tenant episodes.

@yatil@yatil.social avatar

@Gillick Yeah, it’s very the same as RTD1. They are playing it super safe.

Da kann man hier in der Kommunalwahl schon kumulieren und panaschieren und dann haben die Parteien nicht mal Kandidatenprofile auf ihren Websites… Das ist doch doof.

Be My Eyes has a lot of goodwill in the community – and rightly so. I would also think that exploring how to make their systems better with “AI” recognition makes sense. I have no problem with any of that (as long as it is ethical, affordable, reliable).

But if they participate in producing an advertisement video with “AI” claims that are impossible to verify, then it should be OK to be skeptical about it, especially with the deceiving claims that “AI” companies regularly make.

twynn,

@yatil I don't think the video was released by Be My Eyes but rather OpenAI:

@twynn That’s one reason for being skeptical. It just feels too perfect, and I would love to know real-world performance and such.

Will we honestly talk about the trickery in the “Be My Eyes Accessibility with GPT-4o“ video? Like the taxi that uses the signal way before the passenger signal and actually basically passed the signalling passenger before the signal and still coming to a stop? Or that we don’t see any real processing time? Or that the voice is clear despite standing in London with speakers on? (1/3)

@yatil I disagree, but it’s a free country.

@technocounselor I think we’re not even in the same country.

I was a bit sad when I read that Raindrop.io which powers @links started to add “AI” to its product.

BUT:

Today this paragraph in the email announcement delighted me. This is how to use “AI” language models correctly and give users choice. Bravo.

Crowdfunding campaign: With this new developed tool you will be able to meet GRPD regulation.

Same campaign: Here, we signed you up for a newsletter in contradiction to GDPR.

sigh

If you put me on an email list, you have already lost me. Sorry.

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness But Not For Immunocompromized People And Those Who Want To Protect Themselves From COVID And Long COVID Day. GAABNFIPATWWTPTFCAKCD

The silence on protections like air filtration in events is telling, especially at industry events.
