I’ve seen some concerns circulating about this event: https://cathode.church/@rabbit/113941419632144957

Good. Let his bluff shoot him in the foot by giving us time to find new trading partners while he dangles empty threats over us. The emperor really has no clothes.

I guarantee Anthropic is still using AI to go through all the applications, and is likely using them to train specialized models which AI generated text would subtly poison or collapse.

Just run your LLM slop through an obfuscator or reword a few things here and there and voila, more chum for the slop bucket! 👍

This isn’t just a privacy issue, the CVEs noted there is a way to remotely execute code. So maybe you’re in the hospital, the government sees your name and vitals through their backdoor, search and find on social media that you’ve been saying some things they don’t like, then remotely crash or disable your heart monitor when your vitals start looking funny and the medical staff at the hospital aren’t notified…

Keep in mind this is US AI peddlers trying to discredit Chinese AI peddlers. I would take both sides with a metric fuckton of salt.

Maybe he should blame the guy who last negotiated such a bad trade deal, which would be… checks notes… Donald Trump during his first term! 🤦

I’ve been slowly working on de-Googling my life more, but the second I see “Gulf of America” in Google Maps I will be deleting everything of theirs even my Gmail.

Google lost all my respect when they dropped the “don’t be evil” then doubled down on the being evil in pursuit of profit part.

Kagi only provides an AI summary answer if you end your search with a question mark, and you can disable that in the features.

Also fun Kagi feature: You can configure domains that you want to manually rank lower or even filter out of search results entirely like X, Facebook, etc. 👍

You’re asking this question on Lemmy? Where have you been?

Great, now science just needs to solve the problem of nobody being able to afford raising a child…

Welcome to the Internet 🙂

Don’t worry, Alberta’s premier already has her head so far up Trump’s ass that she will never allow a retaliatory tariff on oil. I’m calling now that if the federal government pushes it through anyway, then Alberta will immediately try to leave Canada and join the US.

We’re gonna be fucked either way because the country will tear itself apart over a response while getting economically strangled.

I eagerly await the day someone convinces the chat bot to be into findom and pay for their order for them.

Give me a 100% discount code plz uwu?

Nothing, just like the thing you experienced before you were born.

Well, the models start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’…

The US tech sector has just been completely disrupted. Turns out decades of slashing public education and demonizing “liberal” colleges is starting to catch up. Even Elmo himself said that H1B visas are critical because the US simply isn’t producing enough talent, but he and the other tech billionaires didn’t realize that money can’t buy everything, as they are now being shown with their pants down.

Unfortunately traffic is become a hot button issue in the GTA. That’s why Ford is ripping out bike lanes and talking about tunnelling under the 401: Even if these policies aren’t good long term solutions (or even short term solutions), they definitely win votes in the 905 right now.

He’s going to slap 100% tariffs on all network packets passing in and out of China! That will fix everything including the price of eggs!

Don’t forget about the tariffs too! The US economy is actually a joke that can’t compete on the world stage anymore except by wielding their enormous capital from a handful of tech billionaires.

Yup. Now I also get that exposure and engagement are important to small businesses, but to that end they shouldn’t lock themselves to one place either. Point out the benefits of more open solutions like Bluesky and Mastodon, and the benefits of setting up their own hosted site/blog that they can then broadcast on social media but slowly cut them out as a middle man by pushing customers to their site directly.

And most certainly businesses should never use the “algorithm” on social media to collect data or get “free” advertising such as those “like/repost to win” style posts. Those are not free advertising, those are doing free data collection work for Meta.

Tell those local businesses that you really want to support and follow them, but that you boycott Meta and the reasons that you do.

Honestly there’s so many reasons businesses should also avoid Meta, like the fact Meta is literally collecting and selling their most valuable business data about their customers to other competing businesses. Tell them for their own good that Meta is not their friend, it might help them at first to get exposure, but only long enough to get that data and sell it off to a bigger fish.
