Good summary! Thank you!

Would you mind giving some context? Ive never used Brave, but my dad does. In which sense is it a “scam”? Would want him to switch if its terrible

Which is honestly fair? Like, i would enjoy a “unsafe site, access anyways?” button, but if privacy settings break a page that literally is the pages fault for not respecting privacy.

Edit: typo

LibreWolf W. Missing my boy Zen Browser on there tho

Edit: also RIP Mull 😔✊

When will we replace influencers with AI? Seems to generate equal amounts of slop.

Ethics and morality does it for me. It is insane to steal the works of millions and re-sell it in a black box.

The quality is lacking. Literally hallucinates garbage information and lies, which scammers now weaponize (see Slopsquatting).

Extreme energy costs and environmental damage. We could supply millions of poor with electricity yet we decided a sloppy AI which cant even count letters in a word was a better use case.

The AI developers themselves dont fully understand how it works or why it responds with certain things. Thus proving there cant be any guarantees for quality or safety of AI responses yet.

Laws, juridical systems and regulations are way behind, we dont have laws that can properly handle the usage or integration of AI yet.

Do note: LLM as a technology is fascinating. AI as a tool become fantastic. But now is not the time.

Perfect website, thanks for posting, i will look it up 🙏

Good tips. I mostly use it for YouTube and watching movies on Jellyfin. I already have a a PiHole set up so thanks for posting the domains, will make sure those are blocked properly.

And I will also look into rooting the WebOS, blocking the YouTube ads would be a godsend 🙏

Done! Happy to help!

Apart from all the discussion regarding how stupid this is, how the fuck would this even fit on a road? I doubt the wings would be durable enough if they were retractable. This shit would take up 2 lanes and fuck up any and all intersections. And as a added bonus, it would fuck with everyone elses perception who are used to the distances you keep away from regular vehicles when theyre turning in front of you. This shitheap wouldnt even make it to the airport because someone will probably misjudge the turn radius with the wings and fuck it up on the way there.

The more time you spend glued to your screen the less you notice slow changes. I assume this is part of why user retention is so important…

An extension of uBlock Origin. It does the same thing but also clicks on every ad before it removes it.

My dad has been talking about wanting something like AdNauseam for years, i was very happy when i found it. The extra mile would probably be to expand it with a VPN and constantly spam clicks, clear cache, switch IP and obfuscate data. Now we just wait for someone with enough time to build it…

Happy I got AdNauseam after uBlock Origin. Deleted my facebook a year ago, shit is an AI slopfest built upon the greed and manipulation of every part of the chain. Defcon 31 has a good talk that brings this up. “Disenshittify or die” by Cory Doctrow, cann recommend to watch.

As i wrote in my comment i have not read up on Deepseek, if this is true it is definetly a step in the right direction.

I am not saying i expect any company of significant scale to follow OSI since, as you say, it is too high risk. I do still believe that if you cannot prove to me that your AI is not abusing artists or creators by using their art, or not using data non-consentually acquired from users of your platform, you are not providing an ethic or moral service. This is my main concern with AI. Big tech keeps showing us, time and time again, that they really dont care about about these topics and this needs to change.

Imo AI today is developing and expanding way too fast for the general consumer to understand it and by extension also the legal and justice systems. We need more laws in place regarding how to handle AI and the data they use and produce. We need more education on what AI actually is doing.

The Open Source Initiative have defined what they believe constitutes “open source AI” (https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition). This includes detailed descriptions of training data, explanation on how it was obtained, selected, labeled, processed and filtered. As long as a company utilize any model trained on non-specified data I will assume it is either stolen or otherwise unlawfully obtained from non-consenting users.

I will be clear that I have not read up on Deepseek yet, but I have a hard time believing their training data is specified according to OSI, since no big model yet has done so. Releasing the model source code means little for AI compared to all its training data.

I just like the analogy of a dashboard with knobs. Input text on one wide output text on the other. “Training” AI is simply letting the knobs adjust themselves based on feedback of the output. AI never “learns” it only produces output based on how the knobs are dialed in. Its not a magic box, its just a lot of settings converting data to new data.

The booklet has the “encouraged” procedures section where they state “sterilization reversal” which is just wild

As someone who helped friends/family build PC gaming rigs multiple times last year (2023) I understand what you’re coming from W11 installer is pure dogshit.

Tbh tho, my dad always hated new Windows versions because he didn’t want to learn a new UI/UX, which I fine, but the windows experience isnt that hard to learn, even if it is different. Same thing with Linux, if you use GNOME/KDE/i3/hyprland/sway/<insert any DE/WM here> for the first time it won’t be easy to find all of the settings either.

But the W11 installer in particular sucks ass. There is so many restrictions that try to prevent you from even installing it. The one rescue for me was downloading the Rufus USB ISO tool and letting it download the W11 installer itself and apply patches which removed all the ridiculous restrictions.

I mean, you can even rub that shit in Virtual box if you want. My GF is literally running it on “unsupported hardware” according to Microsoft but windows updates and everything post-install is completely functional.

Only reason Mictorsoft Philips wants the restrictions is to have a tighter grip on the ecosystem and limit end consumers from installing it themselves and pushing that part to other companies or retailers which they can buy finished products (laptops etc) from instead of licenses.

As a new programmer who actively treads carefully in date-data-dabbling territories it is amusing to see how shit commercially available code is, especially in the e-commerce world.

I started my first programming job 2 years ago working with building Magento 2 sites. I already knew Magento was a horrible mess to begin with, but I took whatever I could get. After witnessing the publishers, developers and code of 99% of the plugins available (which is btw quality certified on Adobes marketplace) I can safely say that there is so much shit code squirted out every second be self-taught developers working in shitty small companies with CEOs trying to earn a quick buck.

It is actually insane how bad the code was, I can not with words describe how bad it was. Every time I felt impostor syndrome i would just open up vendor and look at a random plugin to confirm that I am at least not a Magento plugin developer.

If you’re running Magento, change, preferably 10 years ago, but change.
