Assuming Google goes through with their newly announced changes, there's no longer any reason to not block their crawlers, right? They aren't going to be sending anyone to your site, just stealing what you wrote and rewording it with errors. So.… why not just block them?

Things are not looking so great
COLLAPSE of Personal Computing | Investigation Into the Destruction of Ownership
How to end up with software steered by only your non-professional users:
"1. The user beta is now live! Please test it and give us feedback. Now is your chance to influence development and help the team refine!"
"2. As always, beta versions are considered EXPERIMENTAL and should not be installed in production environments! To avoid loss of data and other serious issues, do not use the betas with mission-critical work."

@xerz@soc.masfloss.net Those things I quoted are all impossible now. None of those temporary workarounds work anymore. That's why I used them as examples.

@xerz@soc.masfloss.net "will still be able to use Google like always"
Just like I used to be able to remove irrelevant results from YouTube search by changing a hidden option in the preferences? Or choose which Windows updates to install by changing a few registry keys? Or keep uBlock working in Chrome with a hidden prefs change? Or hide YouTube Shorts? Or disable the passkeys prompt in Chrome?

Uxn32 3.0 is out:
https://github.com/randrew/uxn32/releases/tag/3.0
* Updated to be fully compatible with the newest Uxn specifications.
* Added high DPI and per-monitor DPI support.
* A brand new pack of bundled ROMs.
* Still works on Windows 95 through Windows 11, and builds with every compiler for every architecture, including "native" Wine builds with GCC and Clang using Winelib.

@xerz@soc.masfloss.net search will now require clicking away from this. there are no links to sites. this is the new default.
Replying to
@xerz@soc.masfloss.net No, I don't think it needs to be evaluated? That's what I was posting about. If you let Google scrape your site, going forward, you get no benefit out of it. They aren't going to send anyone there. Nobody even gets to read what you actually wrote. They'll read some error-prone AI's rewording of it.

@xerz@soc.masfloss.net Adapt to what? You're cut out of the loop entirely. There's nothing left to do.

@tuban_muzuru @jamie as a random viewer of this thread, you come off as utterly insufferable, which might not be what you think you come off as, and so you might want to reconsider your behavior

Notably, these effects emerge after only brief interactions with AI (∼10 minutes).
AI is worse for your brain per minute than playing offensive lineman in the NFL.

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social @cblgh@merveilles.town I wonder if some of this stuff is barons who know it won't be built before bubble bursts, and are just trying to grab up land titles

@xerz@soc.masfloss.net my post was about it being too much for anyone that isn't doing some e-commerce integration with Google, not just myself.

@xerz@soc.masfloss.net blocking Shorts requires an extension that rewrites the pages using JavaScript. it's outside of YouTube's software (their site/pages). That's like arguing Google will let you use the old search forever if you install an extension that creates a results page using a different service.

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place I would assume the output of a procgen thing would not be copyrightable, yeah. But the code that generates the thing would be.

@zweikreise@ravenation.club I would assume because they have a particular characteristic that sounds like "gb/gba music" (unless expertly sequenced in a non-groovebox way) and that wasn't the focus of this

@jackdaniel glad other people are starting to notice this. the people spewing out AI stuff and assigning it a GPL license are clueless. the code isn't subject to copyright and thus can't be assigned a license. (code licenses rely on copyright.)

@neauoire@merveilles.town try reducing the max page size in the linker options to get rid of the blank space (probably)

@satnam6502@mastodon.social The structure of the writing in that guy's post is one of those "aspirational truth" things where someone is making up what they want to be true and presenting it having already begged the question. Hate that stuff

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place Two of the big ones I see in the document are:
1) Prompting for a result means you are accepting the machine's interpretation of your prompt, instead of creating an expression yourself. (The prompt itself may be copyrightable, but not the output of the AI.)
2) AI prompt-and-response systems often produce different output for the same input, further diluting the idea that the human is actually in expressive control.
The part about the Jackson Pollock painting method is also interesting.
