@bodil@social.treehouse.systems Sounds like there is a market for someone to download Forgejo, fire it up on a server, and market that to the Slop Brothers. But I guess they would need some LLM to tell them how first.
Replying to
@gedankenstuecke@scholar.social The people opposing the ban are free to start their own Forgejo-service for the AI slop. They just need to make sure they scale enough for the code commit diarrhea associated with «agentic» chaos.
Replying to
@fightscore@mastodon.social @beyondmachines1@infosec.exchange Real AI sure, but the stochastic parrot LLMs not so much. I used to call them "machine lying" but lying requires knowledge of true and false and LLMs do not have that.

@squarefaelltein@mastodon.social @MostlyHarmless@thecanadian.social No, correcting. (Wo)mansplaining is when someone assumes they can teach someone something based on a presumption that they don’t know.

@troed@masto.sangberg.se @Movie2468@mastodon.social @doctormo@floss.social Yeah, very «make money from both sides» of them, that.

@ErikJonker@mastodon.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org Probably not since that is still with a human evaluating. The prompt-spew-commit churning agents are the target I suppose.
Replying to
@gknauss@mastodon.social The AI industry even found a use for the MCP abbreviation, previously associated with Master Control Program, the evil AI from the movie Tron.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social People forget that Kevin Mitnick largely used social engineering - he was less hacking computers than hacking people. Because stuff like that works often enough.
Replying to
@ingonymous@mastodon.social @alter_unicorn@masto.bike @nixCraft@mastodon.social Or you just declare that your current hardware is good enough and if someone makes software it cannot run you simply don’t use it but stick to what you have. Maybe throw out Windows and go for Linux to extend the lifespan of the machine.

@cwebber AI agent driven scam service as a platform. One agent slurps a corporate website, another uses that to create a website that collects personal data, and a third comes up with a bunch of variants of the original URL and register them to point at the scam site. All assisted by Cloudflare.
Replying to
@nixCraft What, the company run by Peter Nazi Thiel? I am shocked! Well, not that shocked.
@portlandia999@mastodon.social @vicfroh@mastodon.social … and IDF genociders "hide" (live) among regular Israelis.
Replying to
@pheonix It’s up there with «we had an important document on someone’s OneDrive or a Forms collection tied to someone’s account and they quit» and the like
Replying to
@TwoClownsEating@beige.party Probably more interested in finding a pooping station that one.
Replying to
@nytpu it is funny that the JFIF format got the name of the standards body as file extension. Like if GIF had been .compuserve files instead.
@Datenproletarier@chaos.social @fabio@manganiello.eu It falls on Israel not to act like the Nazis if they do not want the comparison. The expansion into other countries is straight up Lebensraum-policy.
Replying to
@cmconseils@mastodon.social Being 56 I have scoffed at both dubstep and EDM over the years, but then they went and made that insane video for "Turn Down for What?" and I tossed in the towel.
Replying to
@MNSpy@mastodon.online Haven’t been since 2001, in the first years coincidentally (I just vacationed elsewhere), but as the hoops to jump through became more and more it felt less and less interesting. And now with the Trumpistan thuggery? Not a chance.
Replying to
@strigga_@mastodon.social @dansup@mastodon.social Possible scenario without having looked at source:
1) You have code using an ORM library that sanitizes for you
2) It is too slow so you rewrite into SQL instead
3) You forget that you now need to do the sanitation.
Replying to
@thomas_decker@mastodon.online Smart people fool themselves into believing they must be too smart to be fooled.
Replying to
@nyovaya @jalefkowit No, you can do something else like live off the land like people did for centuries before «jobs» were a thing. Or do a different job. Are you intentionally trying to distort the meaning of forced labor to try and make it sound less bad than it is?
Replying to
@grishka @gullevek @nikitonsky Yeah, making changes to things that work fine, for the sake of work metrics and KPIs.
Replying to
@cascheranno @dangillmor The «code is law» bros from the crypto scene have moved over to the autonomous industry?

Replying to
@Amoshias@esq.social @WiteWulf@cyberplace.social @alessandro@cosocial.ca @brucelawson@social.vivaldi.net THE COURT SAID IT WAS. Why do you assume the corporation runs the court? What is your alternative to courts? Spotify is a shitty company but why defend this asshole just because the target was this company? What if the target was a small company instead?
Replying to
@htpcnz@mastodon.social @eff@mastodon.social It will be the 1990s’ "cyber nannies" software over again, when the conservative companies pushing them blocked ACLU and the like but let through right-wing hate sites.
Replying to
@Solemarc@mastodon.social @jbz@indieweb.social I seem to recall it happened as far back as CPAN for Perl which could be said to be the first major library repository of that type.
Replying to
@trollkatt @web3isgreat Curation sounds like regulation and the crypto-bros hate that. Sucks for the victims though.
Replying to
@Ex_spurt@aus.social @petergleick@fediscience.org … to the extent that when someone posted the list of grievances against George III on Xitter, some MAGA thought they were indeed directed at Trump.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social A corrupt establishment career politician pretending he is not to his voters.
Replying to
@Amoshias@esq.social @WiteWulf@cyberplace.social @alessandro@cosocial.ca @brucelawson@social.vivaldi.net No, I think you are worthy of a mute instead. You are basically trying to refute what the statement linked in the first post says. Trying to argue semantics when what he did is detailed there.
Replying to
@workchronicles Software engineering went down the drain when UML’s precise use cases were replaced with Scrum’s poetic user stories. Also, vacate my lawn, whippersnappers.
Replying to
@LukefromDC@kolektiva.social @QasimRashid@mastodon.social Maybe Mexicans who cross the border should start settling instead? Or re-settling since much of the US used to be part of Mexico…
Replying to
@Amoshias@esq.social @WiteWulf@cyberplace.social @alessandro@cosocial.ca @brucelawson@social.vivaldi.net The crime he was convicted for was "wire fraud". Which is usually used when someone commits fraud online. Seriously, are you angry the «business model» of siphoning what little Spotify gives artists into the fraudster’s pocket failed?
Replying to
@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Yes but according to capitalism the market will correct itself by people not buying food and starving to death.
Replying to
@alessandro@cosocial.ca @WiteWulf@cyberplace.social @brucelawson@social.vivaldi.net The court, obviously, disagreed with your whitewashing of the fraud.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social DuckDuckGo? The scam ad pusher on top of Bing? Sure, they do not track you but the things they link to might…
Replying to
@jsr@social.jsr.com 2010, the sequel to 2001 a Space Odyssey, is also fun: part of the plot revolves around political tensions between the US and Soviet Union making the crew separate. In the real world, the Soviet Union dissolved 20 years before that year. Also, no manned interplanetary voyages.
Replying to
@mathowie at least the Zune sold for a while. The Kin 1 and 2 phones were on the market foe like two weeks, and after they disappeared I talked to Microsoft employees who weren’t even aware they had existed.
Replying to
@felix_eckhardt@det.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org Yup, no one becomes cooks any more after we got microwave meals in the freezer section. Why bother?
Replying to
@tante@tldr.nettime.org I think they know, and it is a reason for why they are trimming down the «free» (included) features in Microsoft 365 (like the Copilot in Word, Excel and PowerPoint) and requiring a $30 licence for that functionality.
