Which in turn means it has to eventually get worse. It’s the natural progression of capitalist ideals.

There’s only so much value you can squeeze out of a product before you have to start reducing quality to make more gains.

The seemingly constant degradation of available, meaningful information. I’m not sure if it’s the search engines, the website content, or just my imagination, but attempting to obtain reliable information using any other online means seems to be getting harder little by little.

I blame a combination of the willful push towards ai, over-usage for it went it is not needed, and the documented feedback loop of llms now consuming more and more llm generated content leading to less and less actual content, or real content being buried in the generative maelstrom of ai written feces.

Couple that with the llm biases, guardrails and annoying quirks (spelling mistakes, repeated words/code, hallucinating sources, etc) and my trust in anything touched with ai is gone.

Umm. A restricted container in docker or podman would be a much better approach, or am I missing something here?

I usually just spin up a Containerfile (Dockerfile) and pre-install the requirements.txt, limit memory, cpus, file system (volumes), networking, as I see fit.

Bonus points running it rootless (unprivileged).

True, but recently it really sold out.

I left back when /u/spez first started getting unpopular for his bonkers antics. Trying to make things ready for the IPO.

The writing was on the wall for me.

I still have my Instinct 1. I’m terrible for accidentally destroying watches by mistake in my daily life, so much so that I had given up on watches all together for many years.

I’ve had this thing for like 5 years now and other than replacing the strap every now and then, it’s pretty much been bulletproof.

Edit: terrible for, not terrible at. I am an expert at destroying them.

I mean. What did we expect?

If it can be manipulated, it will be. To me, this is the price paid for selling out Reddit to the ai glut.

It’s not like Reddit was ever previously known as a great source for information. It was always full of confidently incorrect comments long before ai came along. Sure, it had good info too, but definitely not all good.

The AI companies will try to shift the blame for incorrect information anywhere else but where it should be. On them. With mostly stolen info to boot!

Wholesale processing user generated content online for factual data and expecting it to yield dependable results of any kind should be considered willful insanity.

Pretty sure they’ve always been there, just more disorganized, quiet or under a different name. They are around you in your life right now, whether they identify as part of a specific group or not.

You know, the ones that go out of their way to tell you how good they are? How it makes them a better person? How you aren’t good enough?

Those are the ones.

By financially dragging anyone they can else they can in with them, in a desperate reach for riches. Or is it a desperate reach to try and cover their losses?

Probably both.

Whatever value these “ai” companies think they have amassed, rest assured, it won’t get better when their only mandate shifts from inflating perceived value to increasing stakeholder value.

Unless it’s a good ole pump and dump to quickly recoup lost cash. Which at this point, seems very likely for any of these ai bro tech bubble junkies.

I feel the enshitification is still yet partially hinged.

Let the unhinged enshitification begin!

These articles go from panic bait to feel good news after you completely switch away from Microslop,

I honestly thought it was already doing this. Whenever I accidentally use Google on my phone, it gives me the ai result that I have to exit out of, before I can see the results list.

Maybe it wasn’t that way for desktop?

Either way, I am trying to avoid Google and microslop as much as I can. I’m slowly removing them from my life, piece my piece.

Email is my next challenge. I really hoped self-hosting it would be easier by now.

Dummies

Maybe they fear the future of AI music generation and its hypothetical potential to rob their future earnings.

If that ever did happen, this could be a very smart move.

Vocabular disassociation

Advertisers need to be able to fingerprint you based on a combined measurement of the metrics you speak of. They aren’t interested in you per se, but you as a statistic, they are very interested in.

Advertisers are willing to pay more for accurate data.

Removing enough of these metrics to muddle the fingerprinting process would be bad business for everyone, so they all ride the line of privacy vs. profitability hoping we don’t notice.

I mean, that’s what I just came up with in my head in the moment anyways.

Now, off to forget I ever posted this!!

Stone tablets, Flintstone style. That’s the real ticket.

1. Cannot be rage deleted or book burned by some butthurt ceo or fascist snowflake.
2. Naturally water proof. (unlike paper or electronics)
3. Stylish in that retro cave person as sorta way.
4. Doubles as a blunt weapon in times of need.
5. Medium occurs naturally/found pretty much everywhere.
6. Only costs your wrists and elbows!! Over time…

I think it’s best to read the actual docs published by the research when available. News tells some, but I have seen it sensationalized a few times, where it only affects x kernel with y module before update z.

That being said, these are seemingly getting more and more frequent as previously noted.
