I posted this earlier today, but realized it was not a reasonable time for US folks. So here goes: The big is now on sale, 20% off. Only available in the US, shipping locally. There are 87 left and we will likely never make one of this size again. I have some cool new things planned and clearing them out would be a big help. Thanks!

“People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife.

Advertising built on that archive creates a potential for manipulating users in ways we don’t have the tools to understand, let alone prevent.”

@Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: I mean, better late than never, but this kind of realization should have come years ago for these people.

Years ago, it was already abundantly clear that these companies do not care about copyright, user privacy, environment, or, well, anything besides their profits, market share, and bullshit metrics like "engagement".

I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them had a book deal in the pipeline, to squeeze just a little more money out.

The State of Design
Effective -evading gear might already be in your closet.
Since Dazzle project made mainstream, lots of projects attempt to confound, pollute, or elude cameras that watch us move every day. Harvey’s made several more, including heat obscuring ponchos meant to hide the wearer from drones, Faraday cage pockets for phones, and high-powered LED flash arrays for blinding paparazzi.

So Kalshi says they manually review the outcomes of their markets' predictions and decide what happened usually within 3 hours.

All of their documentation is very clearly AI slop (or, at least, began as AI slop.)

How long, do you think, until someone sues because they disagree with the interpretation of an outcome, and we learn through discovery that they're using LLMs to close predictions?

ブルアカもFGOも 生きることは苦しいけど 苦しみを奪っては生ではないと声高に叫んでいて とても勇気を貰っている
