Could there be an "uncanny valley" of , where the error rates are low enough that humans get lazy and stop checking, which then leads to higher error rates than when humans did it without AI. Unfortunately, the current business models prioritize and , so that will bias them towards ignoring this affect.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue

I'm so proud of our government institutions that are moving to Mastodon 🥹

There are now several Dutch ministeries, provincies, agencies and municipalities, but also officials such as state secretaries and ministeries on social.overheid.nl 🥳

A big thank you to @manfredzielinski for making this happen.

And what I find quite funny is that maybe a third of the phone call would be taken up with the standard Austrian pleasantries one must use, including a proper greeting and minimum two forms of goodbye 😉

Someone should do a quantitative analysis of 's vs 's for , or 's for which both surely include tricks that this point. I'd bet both those companies have done that internally. Any chance of leaks? 😉 So much of how Debian works is in public, so anyone could do some kind of analysis.

I've been an early adopter of things for decades, but at the same time, I work to be able to realistically assess the value as compared to other methods. Many things in still happen in person and via the , so its a good testing ground. I'm frequently surprised at how in-person/telephone can be when compared to , like government offices have employees that handle making appointments by phone, they are often really good at it, so its surprisingly fast

The is full of fun locking ideas for all sorts of things but almost always, they use materials that you really don't want leaching into your . Even common like water bottles or turn quite toxic when exposed to for a while. For example, rosal.web.uah.es/pub/Aquatic%2

No matter the geography, a common reality emerges: those least responsible for the crisis are on the frontlines of confronting it. In doing so, they are not only protecting their territories, but safeguarding the ecosystems that sustain life on Earth, often at great personal risk.

Take action and stand with Indigenous Peoples to protect their territories.

My personal conclusion can however not end up with anything else than that the big hype around this model so far was primarily marketing. I see no evidence that this setup finds issues to any particular higher or more advanced degree than the other tools have done before Mythos. Maybe this model is a little bit better, but even if it is, it is not better to a degree that seems to make a significant dent in code analyzing.

At this beginning stage of the death spiral of , they will become more than before. They still have immense and resources, but the remaining employees will be more obedient and transactional since that's what it takes to keep your job amid . The principled employees left as "don't be evil" was phased out, as AI was sold to militaries for offensive use, etc. I bet we'll see more technically adept shady behavior than before, for example, sciencedirect.com/science/arti

Hey UX designers of the world! And all you people making ! How about we stop making ever more complicated methods of managing , , etc and instead focus on reducing the amount of time-on-screen spent for each task? We need to stop thinking about and think about . We need to recognize the nature of makes us forget about the analog world. Being exacerbates that.

We're taking decisive action to enforce open, fair, and contestable digital markets.

Our measures had real consequences:

🛡️ Fined major platforms for anti-competitive practices and ignoring consumer data choices

⌚ Required strict hardware interoperability for smartwatches and connected wearables

☁️ Launched three investigations into dominance in cloud services and into search engines hiding media
