Reminds me I didn’t have any for a while. I should make an effort.

Well, your’s isn’t thinly veiled.

Seriously though, a comm with such an open-ended theme will always attract stuff like this. You have choices.

Also, isn’t a shower curtain a sort of thin veil, too?

AI agents are remarkably bad at “self-awareness”

🤔 what does it say when you tell it something like “look, this is wrong, and this is why, can you please fix that”? In a general sense, not going into technical aspects like what OOP is describing.

OK, now I get it. My brain was too lazy to even try to decipher “triple entendre”.

I’m still amazed by the hyphen. Is there a profession of literal wordsmith that comes up with such things? Probably got fired by DOGE.

Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing

Amazing. They actually integrated the hyphen into the acronym. But alas…

The CAN-SPAM Act is occasionally referred to by critics as the “You-Can-Spam” Act because the bill fails to prohibit many types of e-mail spam and preempts some state laws that would otherwise have provided victims with practical means of redress.

In other news: water is wet.

And on the other hand, Trump now claims that China interfered in the 2020 election. Because Hunter Biden. How to separate fake news from real news? Easy, don’t listen to the MAGA admin.

Not everybody behaves like it yet, but that ship has sailed!

Shoutout to Evan Vucci who made the photo that heads the article. It encapsulates the whole situation perfectly: The Don behaves predictively like an angry, lying troll, making smugly grinning Netanyahu’s wishes come true.

They really deserve each other. I just wish somebody gave them a sandbox so they wouldn’t have to destroy the world.

I like the Angry Planet podcast.

Here’s an episode talking about AI in war (games): https://angryplanetpod.com/p/the-horror-of-ai-generals-making

Do we need to remind people that LLMs don’t actually have a brain, and really, really shouldn’t be in charge of anything with real life implications?

Yes, we do

Yet another Torment Nexus type situation.

int personality = sizeof(goals);

Feels a bit simplified to me.

A code dress with dress code.

Yes, time too.

🤯 That gave me pause. What made you ask (would non-FOSS even be an option for anything ActivityPub)?

I, too, am often pissed at clickbaity, exaggerated, deliberately ambiguous headlines.

The subtitle makes it clear though: this is about ActivityPub, which has grown into the #1 federation protocol I guess.

It’s not like it’s impossible for such people to vote, but getting your documents in order costs money.
Same for voting on a weekday, voting offices being only in affluent neighbourhoods, voting demanding an ID …

No money, no democracy.

Death by a thousand cuts. Each issue by itself might evoke a shrug, but put it all together, a very clear picture emerges.

BTW (and I’m sure you know) this has been going on for waaaay longer than MAGA. Arguably since the USA’s independence. Every conservative president seems to have added a little bit. The system is near completely eroded.

I get it, esp. in a professional environment.

But “Schrödinger’s data” rubs me the wrong way. The point OOP’s making is not a question of whether the data is there or not, it’s a question of whether you can restore a botched system with a few commands and in a realistic amount of time.

Case in point: I (private person, private system) never needed to fully restore, knock on wood. But the data is there - I have (manually) restored single files or directories on a few occasions.
