Der Zuhausi scheint eine Schwäche für KI-Slop zu haben, wenn man seinen Blog ansieht.

Das hier passiert alles auf Android.

Und es geht auch strengenommen nicht um Privacy oder FOSS, sondern nur um die Kontrolle der sensorischen Eindrücke und den Schutz vor manipulativen Inhalten.

Aber +1 für die exzellente Bildsprache.

Fresh of the press, only in german unfortunately: tagesschau

President of bavaria (and head of the extra fashy bavarian splinter party of the christian conservatives) wants to cut 10.000 public service jobs using AI.

DW

Ich würde nichts als sicher betrachten was von US-Behörden stammt, aber eine Transfrau als Mitbewohnerin und "Bella Ciao" (in Patronen eingeritzt) zeichnet schon ein ziemlich klares linkes Profil.

I have some stale notes on the AI Hacking chapters of Schneier's "A Hacker's Mind", and in one of those chapters he theorizes how AI might hack human emotions. He brings humanoid robots with cute faces as an example.

You know, I think I have an idea how a social countermeasure to that might look like.

I like that his first argument out of the gate is "You call us a secular religion? Well maybe we are, what happened to religious tolerance?" Just perfect how you tee yourself up to fall in line with the religious conservatives when needed.

We really need bring some sceptical epistemic attitudes back. Maybe some kind of eco-atheism, keeping yourself grounded on actual real shit. (for some definition of real)

Das sieht nach einem Treffer aus! Ich darf dir dann feierlich dein virtuelles (Schoko-)Busserl überreichen.

Hier ist das Rezept zum selber backen: WDR.de

Alle Leute die noch nie geraucht haben, und deswegen manchmal uncool waren, und sich jetzt validiert fühlen wenn andere damit kämpfen aufzuhören sagen eyyyyyyy...

I'm interpreting your phrasing as you believing that the non-profit "taking over" is somehow good, because profit motive bad presumably. But regardless of incentives, everyone involved is trying to flood the world with slop by incinerating cash and processors on industrial scales.

But so far the cash incinerator has been running on speculative financial products issued by a club of esoteric computer scientists trying to awaken the robot god. Investors are slightly uncomfortable with this, so Sammy boy is trying to offer them a more traditional vehicle to incinerate their cash (while indulging in his personal profit motive a bit).

Didn't come up with that simile, but it might fit:

It's like a fleshed out version of a 12 year old thinking "everything would be great if I was in charge, because I'm smart and people are dumb"

Something about people who are too impressed with their own smarts and swap pet theories that make them feel smart.

[Reporter Dude] If you launch the coin, isn't it unfair for you to snipe the coin?

[Shitcoin Wizard] ponders deeply I would say no.

[Reporter Dude] WTF did he just say that on the record?

Not my place to tell you what to post, but I would have just made a link post to your blog. I found it more pleasant to read, and gave me an incentive to poke through your backlog. Entertaining stuff!

Less meta: you just prompted me to actually remember when my Internet journey actually began. Must have been early to mid oughts, mostly playing flash games on lego.com . I remember an elementary school buddy came over one day and helped me create the Email I'd use for 15 years, and introduced me to some regional forum that went offline many years ago.
