»New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC - Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."« 🤦♂️
And I see this kind of #antisemitic#bullshit from #leftists sooo regularly in the #fediverse that I accidentally used "regularly" twice here (and I can't edit it because #Misskey :P). Bloody hell. :chuckling_okuu:
Software, Dienste oder andere Abonnements, die zusätzlich zur Abogebühr Werbung anzeigen, werden von mir umgehend gekündigt. Werbung impliziert oft auch eine Form von Nutzer-Tracking, was für mich inakzeptabel ist. Unabhängig davon ist es einfach keine Option. Als Verbraucher müssen wir solchen Praktiken klar widersprechen.
I was very briefly in a discord group for writers that I’d been invited to join. Someone posted something which included the word “bullshit,” and the discord host said there was no room for such language as it was a “family-friendly” forum, something that was definitely not mentioned before I joined up. I quickly left the server, as I use words much more salty than that, and do not write “family-friendly” fiction. #WarningContainsLanguage#language#bullshit#WritingCommunity
🤔 Instead of creating new terms/words for AI and LLMs that have run amuck, I think “AI bullshit” and “LLM bullshit” both roll off the tongue rather well. You may optionally shorten bullshit to “BS” or even the 💩 emoji if you prefer. I encourage you to call people out on their bullshit when they are abusing this autocompletion technology.
Am Donnerstag vergangener Woche sagte Nadella den Analysten in der Telefonkonferenz Axios zufolge: "Sicherheit liegt unter jeder Schicht des technischen Aufbaus und ist unsere Nummer-1-Priorität". 🤭😂
You see a notification that something you have boosted has been edited. You check and it’s now an incendiary troll message you don’t remember ever seeing.
All the comments underneath are clearly in reference to another topic, so these people haven’t seen the troll message either.
What is this? Has this been seen before and where do I report this?
Cisco hat #eBPF im Jahre 2024 für sich entdeckt, mit #KI Glitzer-Hypes garniert und viel Blahfasel drum herum gewirsingt... alles komplettes Tralala Hypershield HyperHyper CyberCyber 🙄🤦♀️
I am #cisgender, so #SelfID laws do not affect me at all, neither positively nor negatively. Transphobes wanted to manipulate me and other people into thinking they threaten me somehow but this is #bullshit. Don't fall for it.
If that were true, several societies with such laws should have already have fallen. I'm still waiting. This didn't happen, therefore it's fearmongering.
Audre Lorde counsels us: "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House," MLK said "the law cannot make a man love me, but it can restrain him from lynching me." Somewhere between replacing the system and using the system lies a pragmatic - if easily derailed - course.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
Cory @pluralistic Doctorow: “Somewhere between replacing the system and using the system lies a pragmatic — if easily derailed — course.
“[Audre] Lorde is telling us that a rotten system can’t be redeemed by using its own chosen reform mechanisms. [Martin Luther King Jr. is] telling us that unless we live, we can’t fight — so anything within the system that makes it easier for your comrades to fight on can hasten the end of the system.”
> One old model of journalism funding involved wealthy newspaper families profiting handsomely by selling local appliance store owners the right to reach the townspeople who wanted to read sports-scores. These families expressed their patrician love of their town by peeling off some of those profits to pay reporters to sit through municipal council meetings or even travel overseas and get shot at.
Le toujours formidable Cory Doctorow aka @pluralistic sur l'usage des AI (et le fait que leur business modèle ne peut reposer que sur l'exploitation des humains, à la manière des entrepôts Amazon, au lieu de leur libération)
@TransitBiker So, where in the sequence of #SarsCov2 did you or anybody else find #HIV sequences? How is that compared to other #SARS or # MERS #Corona viri? Any proper literature on anything? I call your hypothesis #bullshit.
Sorry, ich kann es nicht anders sagen, aber unsere Kinder werden mit einer KI-Shitshow aufwachsen. Und es liegt an jedem Einzelnen von uns, diese KI-Shitshow nicht so schlimm werden zu lassen, wie ich sie mir aktuell vorstelle. 🥶
Remember when your climate president approved the ConocoPhillips Willow drilling project in Alaska? Drilling has begun in places, but some activists managed to bring the decision back into court.
"The government’s attorney, Amy Collier, said experts at the agencies did consider that an increase in greenhouse gas emissions would cause the Arctic to lose sea ice, which the region’s polar bears depend on. But, she said, the link wasn’t direct. They didn’t have evidence that the specific emissions resulting from the Willow project would shrink sea ice in this part of the Arctic, hurting this particular population of polar bears."
House impeaches #DHS Secy #AlejandroMayorkas, succeeding on 2nd try, in a rebuke of #Biden’s #immigration policy. The resolution is non-binding, however, & may not go very far in the #Senate bc even some #Republicans don’t believe that Mayorkas’s actions clear the bar for the high crimes & misdemeanors necessary for conviction.
