Do you know who the artist is?

Looks like #AI #slop to me, but not sure. Like the prompt was "expose yourself to art" or similar.

The fingers in the painting look off to me, spindly and elongated. The back and hair of the woman have a shine I've seen in many AI images, and the shadow and fabric hang look "off"

@rperezrosario

The #AI #slop image (disclosed in alt text, appreciated) is still a bit of an eye sore. But oddly, isn't anywhere in the linked article. Where did it come from?

Why are you picking on the fact that I'm using slave labor from these companies? Why should I sacrifice my convenience when others are going to be using their services anyway! They're still going to keep enslaving people whether i use their services or not. In fact, I'm actually doing a good thing, because I'm using that to make a positive contribution to the world! The problem of slavery really needs to be solved at state level.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that thanks to the developments in slavery soon enough we'd be able to ethically own a small number of local slaves.

Quoting more of the text:

> To put it simply: #Business gives us endless Talk for free, #AI gives us endless Code for free, but the Source, the real reason behind any of it, can only come from us, #Humans

I think this is written by @idlip and I like this article a lot as well.

"Why was the software created?" is also a central question for Social experience design, and the answer should always be: "To satisfy identified stakeholder needs".

In #FOSS there is way too much "Let's create an app, and then put users in it" (followed by "Build it and they will come"). Which is a tech-first approach, not solution-oriented.

This is the script of my national network radio report yesterday on the rapidly accelerating backlash against data centers. As always there may have been minor wording variations from this script as I presented this report live on air.

- - -

Yep, this story keeps getting bigger exploding into the public consciousness as we get closer to the midterm elections. Reports everywhere about massive public backlash to data centers and AI, all over the country in blue states and red states, in all demographic groups, republicans, democrats, independents, people of all ages. Surveys say more than 70% of U.S. residents oppose data centers with very few differences related to political preferences or really any other factors.

Many politicians are suddenly scrambling to align their public positions with the enormous negative public sentiment toward data centers, even when just months ago in some cases these same politicians were publicly pro-data centers. States are enacting moratoriums and new data center regulations even in some states that were previously massively boosting the idea of inviting data centers in with open arms and massive financial incentives.

The politicians are realizing that ordinary people whether in unspoiled rural areas or in urban areas or anywhere in-between mostly despise these massive, monstrous data centers. These data centers are the physical manifestations of the AI that spews out misinformation and deep fakes and scam product promotions, phishing attacks, inept and sometimes dangerous AI agents, and all the rest that most people hate and that the AI firms mostly refuse to take responsibility for.

It's understood now that after construction finishes these data centers are run by just a handful of people, sometimes just a dozen or less -- significant long term job improvements mostly don't happen. People realize that many of these data centers drive up regional electric rates, can cause water shortages, can pollute the air with gas-powered generators and create 24/7 noise from their equipment rumbling nearby homes continuously, driving residents crazy, and destroying homes' property values.

The billionaire Big Tech CEOs thought that they could push this all through as they've done so often in the past, but it appears that they've finally spewed the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. Some of the firms are now warning investors and potential investors that the financial risks from this massive backslash are getting very real.

In a matter really of just months, data centers and associated AI have fallen victim to the trust deficit that Big Tech has been building up for decades. Pretty much everyone knows that trusting these firms to care about society and not just mainly their bottom lines is not a good plan.

So now we're actually seeing data centers as a primary topic of discussion at politicians' town hall meetings and increasingly in major political TV commercials, where lines like "we don't want crime or data centers in our neighborhoods" are actually being heard -- yes data centers and crime in the same bucket labeled as community destroyers, and rightly so.

I'm unaware of any major issue involving technology or perhaps even not including tech, that has so rapidly gathered such powerfully negative public reaction in such a manner. It's like the rebelling crowd's refrain from the end of The Who's rock opera "Tommy": "We're not gonna take it!", or the famous line from the film "Network": "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" And of course there's the Twisted Sister song too.

Data center and AI backlash is a veritable tsunami headed directly at the political careers of politicians everywhere. And politicians regardless of their party who don't understand this, are liable to be finding those careers deeply underwater and nothing but a memory, very soon indeed.

@ashwin @trashheap @MsDropbear42 @lianna I agree with this, while at the same time:

I weight the #infrastructure damage from #computing #power as the higher priority to avoid which includes:

+ #banks funding it (and @wars at the same time)

This is the higher #priority than most cost.

Avoiding #AI therefore saves the demand (whole #list above) because of what it uses / involves [most bad / wasteful / consumptive things and same style people behind it].

Played with #AIDungeon, tried telling a character "I don't use social media, but I tried one of those decentralized ones", and the character answered with, "so, you post on Mastodon?"

Honestly, I'm a bit impressed.

"Silicon Valley has long had its own dialect. But lately, tech vernacular has taken a peculiar turn — people have started describing themselves as if they were chatbots."

@TheAtlantic explores the trend wherein people describe themselves as if they were large language models.

America’s #AI leadership depends on a legal framework that supports innovation. Preserving flexible fair use in the U.S. while advancing interoperable rules abroad can reduce legal fragmentation and help American AI technologies compete globally, all while supporting mutually beneficial arrangements between rightsholders and AI developers.

It's long past time I got into one or another speculative bubble.

@rq 1/ Yes I know old hardware is accepted on #Win10

But Win 7 for example can be a choice not to have the #AI #copilot / added stuff integrated in Win10 - keeping the OS fast / uncluttered is priority.

2/ #MyPal is #Browser very similar mentality and format to #PaleMoon

I also recommend and have used MyPal:

Not sure why I moved on from PaleMoon as it was / is great actually and might #reinstall.

Reuters: Your AI research is your responsibility — California court sanctions attorney for delegating AI citation verification to paralegal. “On appeal, the central legal questions concerned the trial court’s reduction of compensable attorney hours, its sua sponte exclusion of paralegal fees from the fee award, and the propriety of sanctions the trial court had imposed against Del Biaggio’s […]

I'm writing a quick test project with Claude Code for myself, and it decided to "build MRU history and calling with arguments". I consider myself technical, and write lots of code of my own, but I have no idea what an MRU history is, if I need one, if Claude Code should be building it, or if it should, what arguments it should have. Googling anything on the acronym MRU gives me results about Mount Royal University. If you weren't already a programmer, and didn't understand the concepts of calling and arguments, you'd be even more lost. But thanks to the complete enshittification of search, even I'm now completely stumped by an unfamiliar acronym. So I guess I just have to trust the #AI that an MRU is something this project has and/or needs, and that an MRU has or should have a history that has or should have arguments and can or should be called. It certainly wasn't something I specified or asked for, and thanks to big tech's complete destruction of all knowledge, it's not something I can easily learn about on my own. I guess I could ask the AI, though that kind of defeats the entire purpose of finding things out myself. One could argue that I don't need to know what MRU stands for, because the AI is taking care of it. But at that point I can no longer claim to understand my own project, and am just vibe coding, because I can no longer make knowledgeable decisions about parts of it. My point is that even for programmers, it's surprisingly easy to slip into vibe coding, and thanks to the modern Internet, it can be tricky to avoid, even for those with a programming background.

American schools are starting to teach AI literacy. For many, that means helping kids see chatbots’ flaws, @AssociatedPress reports.

#AI is a zombie virus.

There were so many #FreeSoftware projects that were dead and buried with honors, or at least on life support. It was unfortunate. Sometimes it involved a lot of downstream scaffolding to keep everything working. But at least we had warm memories of them and respect to their authors.

And now slop virus is taking them over, one after another. It's pulling them out of their graves or hospital beds, deformed and mutilated. All the warmth is gone. They have no purpose anymore, beyond feeding.

Sometimes this is done by kids who don't understand the first thing about the project they're defiling, who just want to get credit for something important. However, more often this is done by their original maintainers, who not only don't seem to realize their prime time is over, but who are many years detached from honest software development work.
