They are developing their own extremist-infused AI models, and are already experimenting with novel ways to leverage the technology, including producing blueprints for 3D weapons and recipes for making bombs.

Given thr way AI is prone to hallucinations, they should definitely have a go at building them. Might solve our problems for us.

So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯

I have also since this post purchased MMwave sensors. But they’re worse for picking up the cats.

You can fine tune some and the Aqara FP2 seems to do a good job ignoring pets.

I ended up making binary sensors for each room in Node Red. Did I leave the room? Who else is there, nobody? Ok mark it clear…

Why not use mmWave presence sensors?

Good second half too:

That search/SEO is broken seems to be part of the game plan here.

It’s probably like Russia burning Moscow against Napoleon and a hell of a privilege Google enjoy with their monopoly.

I’ve seen people opt for chatGPT/AI precisely because it’s clean, simple and spam free, because it isn’t Google Search.

And as @caseynewton said … the web is now in managed decline.

For those of us who like it, it’s up to us to build what we need for ourselves. Big tech has moved on

That’s why we are all here.

It’s interesting to think that Big Tech might just move on from the Web, leaving it to us ordinary humans to go back to the way we were doing it in Web 1.0 just with fancier tools at our disposal. I quite like the idea.

Lots of people love to cuddle dogs as self-care and by golly, that’s just as wholesome as it gets.

This message is about as wholesome as it gets.

Who doesn’t love cuddling a dog? I bet even cat people wouldn’t say no.

It feels like there’s an opportunity for shenanigans here.

I read somewhere that the largest class of jobs in half the US states was truck driver and it’s high in most other places (that article says 600k). They are likely to be the first sector almost wiped out by AI, followed by call centre workers and a lot of the legal profession. Good luck reskilling all those people. Here in the UK, call centres were often opened in areas of low employment, so we’ll see a lot of the already decimated old industrial areas hollowed out.

“If you’re driving a truck today,” he said, “my expectation is you’re going to be able to retire driving a truck.”

Probably true as it will take a while for them to ramp the numbers up to cover the shortage in truck drivers, and they’ll still need drivers for that last mile (as these trucks work best going between depots on freeways) but how long will being a truck driver be a viable occupation? When it’s one of the biggest areas of employment, can everyone transition to other logistical jobs, as suggested by the article?

Brian Blessed once sent me a Christmas card with “GORDON’S ALIVE” in big letters across it. My username is from Flash Gordon, not Star Wars or Warhammer.40k.

It’s been my nickname for 30+ years, so I went with it when I started out online.

I’ll take that and raise you a wifi9.

I sometimes wonder about setting them loose just so we can ask them questions like “so you are a fan of having sex with headless, limbless torsoes… How long have you been a serial killer?”

And one I am glad we Admins got first… crack at.

Has anyone else encountered ad bots in their signup applications?

Yep.

I’m not sure it’s new guy syndrome - he’s got two legal cases on the go with, apparently, very little to back it up:

Goziker worked at TikTok for only six months. He didn’t hold a senior position inside the company. His lawsuit, and a second one he filed in March against several US government agencies, makes a number of improbable claims. He asserts that he was put under 24-hour surveillance by TikTok and the FBI while working remotely in Mexico. He claims that US attorney general Merrick Garland, director of national intelligence Avril Haines, and other top officials “wickedly instigated” his firing. And he states that the FBI helped the CIA share his private information with foreign governments. The suits do not appear to include evidence for any of these claims.

No at a minimum that has to make people wonder if he’s an unbiased source at a minimum and it should make lawmakers at least stop to consider how reliable a witness he is.

I rather enjoyed it while it lasted but I was rather just posting interesting bits I was posting here, so perhaps here is the best alternative. 🤷

I may have also been using it as a kind of replacement for del.icio.us, which is much missed. I gave Postmarked a go but it isn’t doing it for me.

There’s no such thing as a stupid question.

In the web interface, hit the bell to go here:

https://sh.itjust.works/inbox

Then “messages” and “all”

More than that, every community from every instance can be synced but why they didn’t do that in first place? Probably because not overloading instances.

I presume so, it means smaller instances don’t require databases the size of big ones for communities the majority of which they don’t have any interest in.

Between LCB and New Communities it should be enough to get the word out as required.

Even though I’m partly doing it now, automating it is kinda daunting. I’m sure this tool will change in the future, but I would prefer to collect ideas rather than perform them in the short term :)

Yes, there’s no rush - it’s working well as it is, no need to make it over fancy and degrade the core functionality.
