I've been thinking about this, prompted by things like the Gemini protocol. What would a protocol/standard that takes away the economic incentives that made the internet bad look like? I feel like this is something we could come up with.
“More than 16 million tons of #radioactive mill waste removed from project near the Colorado River"
While this is good and a rare example of corporate responsibility in the #nuclear industry, this doesn't mean the 16M tons of waste are “safe” now, they are just someplace else.

highly suspect that when tech companies say they are "deleting" your data, what they are actually doing is just moving it over to a folder marked "deleted" and knowing that they'll never be called on this
The last week has left me grumpy, but it's getting better now. Let's hope Monday won't ruin the progress.
Sure, AI is costing $billions and consuming copious resources, all to produce creepy slop that barely anyone likes. But the alternative would giving that funding to actual human artists. Can you imagine!?! Countless talented people, with free reign to create. What sort of world would that be!?

We're looking into implementing interaction controls in #Holos, following the approach proposed by #GoToSocial. This would let you decide who can reply, like, or boost your posts. It fits well with the Holos philosophy of giving you full control over your online presence. More details here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/interaction_controls/

미국에서 가장 부유한 ~33명 (~0.00001%)이 미국인 전체 1년 *소득* 14%에 해당하는 재산을 축적해서, 빈부 격차가 심했던 "the Gilded Age"보다 지금 훨씬 더 심하다고… 다만 재산과 1년 소득을 비교한 것이라... 재산으로 따지면 인구 top 0.00001%가 전체의 ~1.8%를 소유함(2024년 말 기준).
The wealth of the top 0.00001% matches 12% of total "annual income"? Not denying it's massively concentrated.

Dear #openindiana #sun #sparc community. Fantastic news from Klaus, Hans and many others that have added SPARC support to OI for a lot pf machines. After years I do have an up2date #unix on my Sun Ultra 45. There is also some incredible work being done on #rust for SPARC. Mate useable via remote X session.

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.
