Saturday mornings other worldly sunrise over The Solway in South West Scotland. This intertidal zone of mud and sand has a number of small streams that wind their way to the main channel, which at low tide is literally miles away.. Skiddaw in the Lake District sits in centre of the view.

a major reason AI/machine learning/LLMs is not technologically or politico-economically equivalent to past automation is that it is impossible without vast, vast, vast amounts of stolen labor.

@dazinism I need to poke around a bit, as ideally I'd transfer the apks, or else a manifest for them so that they can be downloaded easily. I'd rather not have to download each manually, but if that is what it comes to, so be it.

@futurebird

- it's bandwagonning in the latest circle jerk scam that, somehow, caught on,and the other multi-hundred-billion-dollar techbro corpos are engaging in.

@mathew there's a great podcast interview with Tony James talking about the process

they didn't invent a machine that could write. their machine wouldn't work without all the millions of hours of labor put into the "data." they **stole our work** and are leasing it back to our employers at fractions of a cent of what we used to get paid.

How did Google think adding AI overview would make them money? I'm not being sarcastic, I really want to know.

I assumed that they thought:

* It's what people want and will maintain market dominance with the public
* It's a new opportunity to sell a different more powerful (manipulative) kind of advertising placement to our customers

They seem to be pulling back because their customers (advertisers, not those who use them for search) are unhappy with the results.

@FediTips sure, that would be great! I have a Zoom account. Would you be willing to do it via Zoom?

First, thank you to everyone for your patience with this somewhat ridiculous poll. I know I have a goofy sense of humour, and that sometimes I ask unserious questions in a serious way. I understand that this can be off-putting to some people. I appreciate your indulgence.

Asked my 3 year old to pick her pens up. Got told I'm "the worst man in whole wide world, you're worse than a hedgehog". Oh fuck off you melodramatic scrote.

@davidgerard the “how can you ban LLM code when people can just lie about not using LLMs” guys when there’s the thinnest chance they won’t be able to just lie:

En El Dia de los Muertos, la UFW celebra la vida de la cofundadora Dolores Huerta. Fue una incansable defensora de los campesinos, las mujeres, los inmigrantes, la comunidad LGBTQ+ y todas las personas marginadas, y todos la extrañaremos. 2/
