There aren't small problems in these posters though. They're huge, obvious, and an indicator that the one who made the flyer didn't care whatsoever.

When it includes an American Flag with more than 50 stars + the bottom row is cut off, you know they didn't even bother to proofread it.

This is the kind of garbage we're suffering with.

A lot of people here are AI brained, unfortunately.

This is embarrassing. These companies need to stop these obviously coordinated stunts.

The embarrassing part is that it might be working.

I was at my in laws… these people have a landline they can’t imagine getting rid of, an emergency only cell flip phone, don’t own a microwave…

And they’re asking me if I heard about “OpenAI’s rouge agents hacking huggingface”.

This is not a joke. They said huggingface. I was surrounded by four walls in which I never would have bet someone else’s money that I’d ever hear the two words put together in that order.

It’s a formalized propaganda campaign. Watch, it’s about to split on hard political lines too, Obama is out there with a suspiciously “for the children” AI regulation push for midterms.

That would be terrible! However I don’t see evidence of that in the article.

The fact that the PAC donated to Pramila Jayapal shows that clearly supporting fascism isn't the point of the donations. But I would absolutely say that each of Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Lindsey Graham are (were in the Graham's case) fascistic in their positions. All of them support(ed) Trump, who readily accepted a description of "fascist" from Mamdani, on camera (if his status as such weren't already self-evident).

Turning off your brain with LLMs is how you get fired.

Even with small things, you need to be at the wheel. The other day I had to stop copilot from literally deleting the file I was working on. Why did it choose to go down that route? I don't know, but I nixed and reported the chat once it did that.

LLMs are dangerous and if for some reason you are stuck with using them, do NOT ever turn your brain off.

Ideally, you should not be using LLMs at all.

Android has been so thoroughly disappointing through the years. Started as a great open free form alternative to iOS, to becoming the very thing it sought to combat.

I had never considered using lineageos and the like, but honestly the writing is on the wall. Google is going straight into a closed AI device.

I'm going to start donating to a few free android distros I guess, I'm probably going to be trying them sooner rather than later, and without AOSP support the dev burden is going to be much higher, and it probably means they'll end up diverging and incompatible at some point (not in both directions, lineage will probably always have to have Android app support)

If Android wants to be the inferior not-open-source mobile OS, why would I not just buy an iPhone instead then?

It’s closed too, sure, but at least it’s more consistent.

Android has free and open artificial pancreas that is still easy to install and keeps us with complex type 1 diabetes alive.

Google may just want to kill us and Apple don't even let this kind of software exist without massive hurdles...

Because it's much worse (for me).

However at this point, as a GrapheneOS user if I couldn't use it for any reason I'll go to iOS (even though I used it for a couple of years and I've been fed up).

Because it still allows installing apps with some hoops, and iOS doesn't allow it at all.

Because (1) you'd be rewarding the entity that originated and normalized the loss of freedom that Google much later adopted, and (2) as Apple restricts more freedoms you'll still be able to enjoy them on Android for a few more years as Google remains (comparatively) more user friendly.

It's not a culture war. It comes down to whether you care about the environment or not.

LLMs are destroying the planet.

AGI does not exist and never will. This might as well be fantasy.

did you remember to stamp your foot

I take it you didn't read the article, then.
