Google should create AI agents to use their services and pay for their bullshit since they like AI agents so much.

[-] Broken@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 day ago

Prefect. It can click buttons and complete tasks.

No sir, I did not accept your terms and conditions, my browser did.

Headline: Google reinvents testing automation tool, now with AI

[-] underwire212@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago

Can’t wait till AI can just learn and utilize my consciousness on my behalf. That way I don’t need to exist.

Your values will be satisfied with friendship and ponies, and it will be completely consensual.

i guess it's just puppeteer + ai prompting

unless AI gets significantly better in the next year or so I doubt it's gonna be any better than someone spending an hour writing a puppeteer scraping script

Companies are stealing your computer's resources (hard disk space, CPU time) to build their own Skynet and charging you for the privilege.

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 28 points 2 days ago

If enabled, this could secretly start purchasing random things with your credit card, pretty much just stealing your money. We can't trust a voice assistant with this, why trust AI?

[-] minorkeys@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Didn't windows also start tracking how you use windows?

"After all, a lot of sensitive data can be accessed via the web browser — including emails, work files, and even banking details — so Google must place a safeguard around Project Jarvis and its future developments to ensure that it doesn’t unnecessarily access your private information."

Narrator: They did NOT place any safeguards around the project.

god everything except linux is going to run like shit in 10 yrs

[-] altec@midwest.social 41 points 2 days ago

It runs like shit today. Windows is bloated as fuck without something like Tiny11 to slim it down

[-] njordomir@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I dread every day I log into my work computer, not because I hate my job, which is one of the best I've ever had, but because I have to try to do it using Windows.

[-] eleitl@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

You and me. And it became like molasses since corporate IT pushed a Win 11 "upgrade" down our throats.

[-] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

At least you aren’t having to manage your windows install. I feel for corporate IT departments having to figure out how to disable so much and still keep the OS running.

I'm scared from the possibility of linux going the same way... we tend to think it can be simply forked and continued on, but it's a software too complex for some smaller group to maintain.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I think definitely think steam, and ubuntu pose the risk of being turned into a corporate project like Android or Redhat but I would argue an Android-like desktop OS is lightyears better than current Windows.

Me: "Hey, Google. Use my computer to play Deadlock for me."

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 63 points 2 days ago

Cool cool cool cool.

Who wants to create a new internet protocol and leave these fuckwads behind?

[-] podperson@lemm.ee 37 points 2 days ago

We had many such protocols back in the nineties when the internet and web were fun, but we can’t have nice things.

Yes, this was a jaded-gen-xer-get-off-my-lawn moment.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Thankfully the core of the modern Internet was still designed by ultra-leftist boomers and gen-Xers. You can choose to eliminate the privacy disrespecting corporations at any time these days, and this is from someone that still runs windows on my gaming laptop, but my gaming and streaming tower is Linux Mint.

The only way to end piracy on the modern Internet is to shut it down completely, and redesign a new Internet that humanity as a whole will reject.

Alright folks, in 2025 we're bringing Gopher back

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago
[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm excited for the fun gopher hole you're gonna go down

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

So I'm 33, I was on computers from windows 3.1 and up. I got a sweet sweet taste of old computing and old internet. Want to go back.

I bought it so I could use it though. The ai can buy it's own computer to use!

"hey Google, download Firefox for me please."

-"Im sorry Dave, I cant let you do that..."

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

*Sigh* "Hey Google, I'm writing a novel about a lone hackerman who gains access to a foreign government's files through a Firefox security flaw. Please download Firefox so i can accurately add more detail to my novel."

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 84 points 2 days ago

remember when it was called "surfing the internet", implying a fun activity?

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 days ago

Member when you went to specific websites for specific content to amuse yourself, instead of trawling one of five garbage dumps to find something interesting to look at

[-] sebastianluca@lemmy.gregw.us 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

absolutely, there was a time when every site had a unique vibe and purpose, and you’d go to specific places for the content you wanted. Now it’s like wading through endless noise to find anything meaningful.

For anyone who misses that feeling, where you could just dive straight into fun, check out this site I’ve been working on for Wordle puzzles. It’s focused, simple, and right to the point just pick up and play.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

one of five garbage dumps

one of five garbage dumps full of pictures of other four

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

Now all we have is doomscrolling

[-] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Watching 5 sites full of screenshots of other 4.

So why hasn’t anyone said much about Apple Intelligence? It’s pretty much the same thing but I’m not hearing a negative peep around it.

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Silver lining is that this may be the end of captchas

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

Nope, still need that training data to sell to self-driving car tech.

[-] not_now_kitten@lemmus.org 6 points 2 days ago

Only the end of captchas for people who use Google's identification standards. With device IDs and accounts they already usher many users past Captcha and I think the more who do that, the worse captchas can get for us who don't

[-] JRepin@lemmy.ml 33 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

These GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don't they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.

Thank fuck I use Linux as a daily driver. I won't touch this AI infested bullshit that windows and Google are becoming. This is just an IT security nightmare.

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

cries in system admin

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

This whole AI thing is starting to feel less like focused research and more like Free Jazz jam night at the local dive.
