I prefer “AI-regurgitated” over “AI-generated”, I think it’s more accurate and fittingly repulsive

oh boy, another article about CEOs saying what “AI” could maybe do in the future. i’ll put this one in the pile with all the others

this feature will be entirely optional until microsoft realizes nobody in their right mind would enable it

also from the article:

Even more concerning, attempts to uninstall it often fail due to its deep integration into Samsung’s One UI operating system.

Reports indicate the app reactivates automatically following software updates or factory resets, making it virtually unremovable for average users.

but i do agree that “virtually unremovable” and “unremovable” are two very different things. and im not even sure i would classify this as “virtually unremovable”

i wouldn’t be so sure about this. i still have plenty of pennies and plenty of stamps to put on those pennies.

The commission pitched the Digital Omnibus as simplifying and streamlining digital regulations to relieve the regulatory burden for digital services and AI systems, with a specific focus on helping small-to medium-sized businesses in Europe; however, the draft proposal goes further than expected.

won’t somebody think of the poor “AI” companies? 😢

cloud’s gone

is this a new euphemism for murder? helping somebody drop off the grid?

does the wife at least get to pick a new last name after the husband takes the old one?

should just be a matter of saying “AI can’t do this job because it can’t properly do any job”. could even make that your email signature.

Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.

this is a very interesting sentence to find in a post that outlines the ways in which the opinion page will be losing some of its editorial freedom.

Despite polygraphs’ unreliability, DHS insists they are necessary for national security.

in keeping with tradition, “national security” continues to mean “because i say so”.

god it is going to take forever to rebuild the government, if we’re even given that opportunity. it’s going to be years of finding out just how terribly trump messed things up.

Trump says he will announce 25% steel and aluminum tariffs Monday

it sounds to me like he announced them today

my microwave beeps if you hit the cancel button. it makes me avoid using it.

even if something like this doesn’t pass, who would stop trump if he tried to run for a third term? i thought that there was already good reason to disqualify him on the grounds of treason this past election, and nobody stopped him. it seems to me like the government will be much more openly corrupt in 4 years. so i’m not hopeful about there being anyone to enforce these sorts of laws by then.

No crawlers ever go there.

if it makes you feel any better, i would go there if i was a web crawler.

i think that’s fair point. language does work both ways, and i am certainly not in the majority with this opinion. but what bothers me is that it feels like they’re changing the definition of the word and piggybacking off of its old meaning. i know this kind of thing isn’t all that uncommon, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

i think we give silicon valley too much linguistic power. there should really be more pushback on them rebranding LLMs as AI. it’s just a bunch of marketing nonsense that we’re letting them get away with.

(i know that LLMs are studied in the field of computer science that’s known as artificial intelligence, but i really don’t think that subtlety is properly communicated to the general public.)

completely agreeing, 10 times
