It’s okay, the internet drought is over, we don’t have to ration posts anymore.

Even if you perfectly solve crashes (doubtful, definitely not something that exists right now), the problems of microplastic pollution from tires and emissions from electricity generation are non-trivial.

I can’t think of any audience that would be worse to interact with for Only Fans type content than redditors.

Yeah, Rimworld was in early access for 5 years and was worth the price the entire time IMO. Project Zomboid has been in early access for over a decade! If you just blanket ignore early access games you’re cutting yourself off from some excellent games.

Come off it, not being allowed to be on your cell phone during school hours isn’t the same as KOSA.

The APA document you linked even specifically discusses the effects of social media (what do you think they’re using their phones for?) on mental health.

Concept artist Sam Santala pointed out that you can’t raise a support request to discuss the terms without first agreeing to them. You can’t even uninstall the apps!

Well, at least they made this as easy as possible to challenge in court.

But given the way AI bros behave I suspect this is a smash and grab. The penalties don’t matter if they get to keep the goods in the form of generative AI training.

The biggest problem with AI alt text is that it lacks the ability to determine and add in context, which is particularly important in social media image descriptions. But people adding useless alt text isn’t exactly a new thing either. If people treat this as a starting place for adding an alt text description and not a “click it and I don’t have to think about it” solution I’m massively in support of it.

I’m not using “AI” in web searches no matter how much any VC bro’s golden parachute depends on it, sorry. Refusing to partake or even using tools to filter out LLM trash are perfectly fine ways to adapt to search engines leaning on AI hype to try to convince you that their inability to combat SEO spam is good, actually.

I don’t have the time/money/bug up my ass to do it, but I feel like buying a few components, not using them, and sending them in for “repair” after a few months would be an interesting way to audit their warranty coverage.

Not only is T-Mobile using these models when customers call in, but we’ve heard via multiple tips that T-Mobile is planning to use AI learning to predict why a customer might be visiting a store, too. There has allegedly been discussion of using the T-Mobile app to detect a customer’s account when they enter a store, and have AI predict why they might be visiting.

God help me if I have to worry about some issue with my phone service being even more annoying to get fixed because the AI spits out I’m really there for an unrelated reason and just need to be cajoled into admitting it.

The news coverage it’s subsidizing is… not always good. Article is a year old, but little has improved.

RIP to whoever was desperate enough to try it. Hopefully they don’t die as painfully as the Neuralink monkeys did.

Sort of a non-solution for the wider problem isn’t it?

I completely agree with that, while at the same time just moving everyone that’s on Facebook/Xitter/Reddit/etc onto here just sounds like an absolute nightmare. 😂 I’m here to get less of that shit, the same way the internet in general was an escape for me before the age of mass social media.

In an ideal world I would love for mass social media to be broken up by the fediverse, just preferably where I don’t have to see it. That’s why I’m on Blahaj ✌️

I’m from a time on the internet when a sizable forum had a few thousand people registered and a few hundred active users. For people who want a 1:1 replacement for high volume, endless scrolling social media I guess any decline is bad. But frankly I am extremely “retvrn” about the pace and size of the old internet, so I’d still be happy with even fewer users, lol.

TikTok is still home to ridiculous (and even deadly) misinformation, especially vaccine related misinformation, and it’s still a corporation that makes billions of dollars per year. They also have a history of a litany of issues with LGBTQ users. It’s kind of ridiculous to compare scientific study of it as a social platform to invading the home of a private citizen.

DeWine is a fascist shitbag, there’s zero chance this starts and ends with “protecting kids.”

How much you want to bet this means its answer to everything car related is “take it to the dealership for service”?

What’s most concerning is how this “restoration” process can be done multiple times if the victim never becomes aware that they’ve been compromised. Even worse is how even after a Google Account password reset, this exploit can be used one more time by the bad actor to get access to your account.

Does this mean if you change your password twice you’re fine? Or is the second sentence just worded awkwardly?
