Watch out! here are 3 signs to tell if you are looking at fox-generated text! 
Look out for un-human text. Fox training data often leaves hallucinations inside passages, such as “waf”, “warf, “woof”, and “yip”.
Foxes often reveal themselves throughout their texts— leaving distinguishable watermarks for authenticity reasons. Watch out for symbols in the likeness of 
, , or 
The fox will sometimes make it’s presence unknown, which can be countered by offering the fox an unrefusable offer. Replies to disguised foxes such as “pat?” can often push the fox to reply with something like “wruf!! 
waff warff !!1! 
“
Here's a thought experiment.
Imagine a stamp mark with the words "Made with #AI" on it.
If you see this mark on a picture, illustration, mobile app, song, movie, or story - do you get the notion that this product is of higher, lower or unchanged quality?
If you see two identical products for the same price, where one has an AI mark and the other doesn't - which one would you buy?
Thanks to AI we’re being flooded with Discord like alternatives. Brave new world. Soon every kid has their own app where they can jump up and down all by themselves.

It’s always the orange one.
I wished more media was writing not just about how the "AI" buildout increases prices but actively bars people from building their own independent infrastructures.
"AI" is not just poisoning the infosphere but taking away your ability to build alternatives. In the end only Big Tech Cloud and the way it's often used against the users is left.

I hate to be a doom sayer, but I'll just throw out there that I've seen no evidence that this is going to become less of a problem as opposed to more.

it’s possible i have a problem
Ars Technica retracted an article about how AI is making the world worse because...
the Ars article itself contained AI-generated quotes in it.
Welp, we had a decent run, folks. But it's time to call it.

We talk about #HolosSocial forgetting some of you might not know this project.
#Holos is a full ActivityPub server running on your device. Currently on Android, next on iOS.
We already introduced #E2EE DMs and #ActivityPub identity through custom domains. You own your followers, your keys, and your identity. Relays are just infrastructure.
On the footer of https://holos.social we added pages explaining the project. Have a look!

I enjoy that on French news ICE sounds like "lice". And they don't shy away from words like Gestapo and fascism. At least not the station I'm listening to.

It does not, proving my point.

I love a lot of things about #BSD but high on the list is the community itself, it is a wonderful bunch of misfits, which is probably why i fit.
I am using #deltachat 2.35.0. I have a problem with push notifications. They are not arriving anymore. #deltachat android is installed from the play store. The messages arrive when I open the app. Any thoughts?
I would buy this album
