Probably because in 2011 Musk laughed at them and now they are outselling Tesla. There is also the general unease of China rapidly breaking into markets that where previously dominated by western countries.

That’s a fun idea but AI companies would probably just screenshot the website and OCR the text if this became common. It’s also really inconvenient for the users as it breaks both copy pasting and Ctrl+F searching.

You can target the crawlers using tar pits and proof-of-work application firewalls but I am doubtful that poisoning does anything. The second a poisoning method becomes common enough to have an effect the AI companies will just start filtering for that. Unfortunately the only way I see that prevents your work from being stolen is to either not publish it at all, or to only publish to smaller invite based communities that closely monitor who is accepted.

Oh look another shithead trying to pin me down by arguing semantics using the old “What even is AI” trick. Fuck you! I don’t care about shitty machine learning models from the 90s. I care about unethical companies stealing artists work and reselling it while causing ungodly amounts of pollution. Maybe I should just start banning everyone of you oh so reasonable shitheads. This is FuckAI not lets have a discussion and really get into the details what AI even is.

Any usage of AI is being complicit with the larger AI project of these billion dollar companies as it further legitimizes their use. So yes fuck this business person in particular, I hope the customer sues and he goes bankrupt. This is a literal leopardsatemyface moment, everything about this is completely self inflicted. Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if they used their brain and considered not using a lying machine as a replacement for their customer support.

Trans inclusive misogyny

How fragile can you be? These jokes are incredibly tame.

If they didn’t want to be compared to a pig, why did they go into the pigsty and roll around in the mud? One legitimises the use of AI, the other invests in it - both are on the side of Sam Altman and his ilk.

Them using a larger town for this human experiment is intentional. If they used a smaller place people might know each other well enough to organise an effective resistance to prevent this effort.

No unfortunately Torvalds is firmly in the “its just a tool” camp.

I mean somebody has to build the love shack.

That’s about as realistic as the Russian court that fined Google for two undecillion roubles.

Try Listenbrainz, it creates weekly discovery playlists based on your listening habits.

They plan waste $130 million on AI bullshit. Imagine a fraction of that invested into the actual browser. I can’t even eat as much as I want to vomit.

Yes, for the Gnome ecosystem.

You can read about the reasoning here.

Basically using GTK alone became a lot of unenjoyable work for them because they didn’t want to depend on libadwaita and since its something they do for free in their free time it has to be fun.

My guess would be that its because La Suite tries to replace all of Microsoft Office and having all the moving parts under your organisations control makes it easier to create a fully integrated office suite that offers the same UX throughout. Also Jitsi is owned by 8x8, a US company, which might have factored into the decision to create something new.

I think there are some differences that make the fediverse more resilient to this. For example, the absence of cumulative account karma keeps out the reddit style karma farming. The ability to ban whole instances also makes it easier to kick out bad actors. Instance admins could also implement their own rules like switching to an invite based system to reduce bot spam. Also it seems to me that reddit is actively encouraging this kind behaviour to inflate their user statistics and there is no incentive to tolerate this kind of spam for a fediverse server admin.

Very relevant video.
