If you own the tech ancient #googlehome mini.
Which at one time was being given away for free with whitegoods,
#google has recently upgraded the #Ai on it...
It's now a voice control for their #gemini #llm
Rather than the supremely dumb (pre LLM) "AI"

So now, you can have your privacy violated and live under total tech #surveillance in a smart way.

But, kudos to Google for not just junking their old tech.
You don't see that often.

From #LouisRossmann, for anyone concerned with #surveillance and #faceRecognition:

The image recognition component of #Google #Gemini insists that multiple contemporary photos of American repair technician and #rightToRepair advocate Steven Rhine are definitely photos of an (obviously long-dead) #Sep11 hijacker.

As is said in the video, “what the #flock!”

(Yes, it’s a different image matching program returning a false positive, but Flock warrants becoming a curse.)

#Meta conducted a secretive program that directed hundreds of contractors to pose as children while bombarding its competitors’ #AI models with disturbing prompts ranging from suicide to cannibalism.

Internally known as “#Cannes,” the project, run by Meta contractor #Covalen, targeted #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT, #Google’s #Gemini, and #Character.AI chatbots using throwaway under-18 accounts.

Prompts focused on suicide and self-harm, eating disorders, and sex or romance, all written from the perspective of a child.

Wanna know where some child porn is coming from? #Zuckerberg is building it in to every AI he can pay to touch.

Eat the rich. Kill the #AIs. #Luddite the data centers.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane.

Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is…

More than 200k users said NO!

More than 70 organisations signed a letter saying NO!

#FDroid wrote posts on why NOT!

We've talked with you and your representatives, around the world.

We've made the #KeepAndroidOpen website to explain it.

If you read the #Android tech news, you saw it.

If you use a search engine, you found it.

If you've asked their own #Gemini, you got the summary.

But who didn't see, hear or read anything from above? Yes, #Google

I'm exploring some ideas for the next iteration of https://jws.dev. ​

I want it to be available in four languages, be a Vue app, and be available as a telnet site and a Gemini site. I'm debating whether I should use #nuxt for server-side rendering as well.

Under layers, the site forgot to mention #gopher :). Also #gemini protocol is rather new I find it quite good.

FWIW I moved my WEB Site to #gemini and using #gopher as a mirror. Both together are far easier to maintain than html.

Anyway I find the link interesting and I added it to my #lynx bookmarks.

#Apple says its #AI is still private, even when it’s running on #Google’s servers

WARNING: Apple MacOS 27 is reportedly loaded with massive, non-disableable Google Gemini AI SLOP

Presumably Apple is paying Google a fortune for access to their
misinformation SLOP machine Gemini AI, and Apple wants to make sure you can't opt-out. That's how the billionaire Big Tech CEOs operate. They stuff this garbage DOWN YOUR THROAT like they own you. DISGUSTING.

Reports so far -- subject to change as I learn more -- are that unlike in previous versions of macOS there is no simple way to disable "Apple Stupidity" -- oops, I meant "Apple Intelligence" which is wedded at the hip to Siri. Also, reports are that the AI crap alone is taking 10s of gigabytes of space and comes right back when deleted. If you don't have a big storage Mac, this is going to hurt. Does Apple care? OF COURSE NOT. Like Google, it's all about keeping their billionaire CEOs living the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed and we could never dream of.

You might let Apple know how you feel about this, for whatever good it does.

If I learn more that changes any of this, I'll let you know.
