"The decision to halt production of Tesla's polarizing polygonal pickup marks the end of an error." 🤣🤣

Good lord, the crap that gets promoted to the Science hashtag...

Remember to look for cites, attribution, a link to a reputable source before boosting. It's a good habit to develop. Fight the eye candy.

@cwebber

Can we try nanotech again? Maybe with a new name?

@chris Yes, this is a definite shift of power within the White House. Miller and Vance have long been shut down as being across the line (what few lines there were). Miller recommended declaring a state of emergency over ICE protests in 2025, for example. Simply put, he is a Nazi, hell-bent on ethnic cleansing and likely the most dangerous person in that administration.

my steam deck has this fun new feature where it charges to exactly 70% battery instead of 80% and then randomly gives me full-screen pop-ups that steal inputs from games that say "your charger is too slow" but the battery isn't going down it's consistently staying at 70%

This is very interesting because it's someone publicly quitting-and-denouncing "AI" research based on *actual* harms the technology does *now*, rather than wild fantasies of things it *might* do in future. https://social.coop/@cstanhope/117569603811492386

I predict this will get like 1/100th or 1/1000th the media attention of the guy who publicly quit a few months ago "whistleblowing" that the AI companies are building superintelligent skynet supergod

It's…not especially readable. The letter isn't. Lots of use of bold

Are there any maps showing which instances federate which others? Like those maps with nodes and connections

It’s for no particular reason, I’m just curious >.<

For me, some of the paragraphs in this post here sound like llm.

It is a single instance, not software you can host

What federates today Every community is a Group actor following the Lemmy model

1st is the classic “It’s not X, it’s Y” (or “It’s X, not Y” here I suppose). 2nd sounds like a headline AI likes to use, and also fails formatting like it was copy-pasted from llm output.

There’s probably more, I got the impression before those parts. My guess would have been some sections are ai some human. Is this accurate?

Either way I’d either not do that (use ai text in promotion nor unmarked), or (unfortunate as it is) try to avoid ai tropes.

You could have just said “yes”.

@woozle

Really? :(

My Internet moment (possibly) ruined! Ruined (probably), I say!

@zazzoo absolutely 100% agree

The second is antitrust. Congress does not run the FCC or the FTC, but it can hold hearings and investigations. I guess there's a path to having more Big Tech investigations for antitrust. Sometimes tech companies comply in advance, by implementing interoperability before they're forced to. I'm not sure this is high on the Democrats' agenda, so I'd give it a minor effect, again.

@ceri that's how I took it 😜

@M0YNG what about UKAC Tuesdays? is anybody participating?

@lorenzosmusic @dlikdh

imo besides the ethical reasons, people should release their work as #ccmusic today in order to facilitate curation. internet radio DJs and podcasters being able to play their music for others without having to get direct consent every time, which would make a regular new music show difficult.

the rising fedi music scene feels very insular. it doesn't want to displace the bad industry. to do so, we need human curators as a quality recommendation alternative to the algos.
