Alert! A tech bro decided he's going to teach #AI to interpret #rugby because apparently, the sport's thrilling unpredictability isn't enough without a #robot sidekick. 
Brace yourself, rugby fans, your second screen experience will now "feel alive," as if a digital #cheerleader is what was missing from the game!

So, a Tesla odometer can have its mileage modified by Tesla to expire the warranty, and they are being sued for it.
This got me thinking...In the #trump and #musk, #techbro America, I guess an easy way out is to adjust #Google maps to change the distance from any disputed journey to match the tesla reading. Problem solved.
Why stop there. You could have electronic sign posts that can adjust distances to match tesla battery capacity in colder weather conditions.
You could increase battery range by updating the maps 
They are going after NIST, as these "standards" are expensive
Why not have NuMiles

Three pages so far today. Nearly lost my shit at the cafe when some hideous techbro started talking loudly about crypto and blockchain on a headset, causing several others and me to leave. I was in the zone and this facsimile of Jesse Eisenberg's worst qualities wanted to dominate all available sound. I did offer a fierce growl to this selfish interloper on my way out, to which he offered a feeble "Oh my," losing his dubious train of thought. But Jesus. The cafe is NOT your office.

@simon_brooke that assumes several things that are proven wrong:
#TechBros didn't knew their #Algorithms (they do!)
#GAFAMs were unable to change what gets #boosted by their own Algorithms. (OFC they can!)
The same companies didn't knew the directly-linked damage they can if not cause, at least amplify (see #RohingyaGenocide in #Burma)
#TechBro|s in #SiliconValley weren't #facist to begin with (I mean, #PeterThiel is more of a #norm than #exception!)
That they never before sided with a #POTUS (In fact, they platformed #Trump and his #cult|ist #followers even after their failed #Coup and #HighTreason!)
Said #CEO|s and #CTO|s are powerless to stop any of this (in fact, they could force Trump to resign if they wanted to!)
That Trump exerts control over them (He could as.per #CloudAct but let's be honest, they control him more than he can control them!)
That #TechCompanies from the #USA didn't endorse and platform #facists and #authoritatians (espechally in the #EU) until then.
That the #US became hostile over night.

#woke #Generative #AI is replacing the #digitaljobs Venezuelans rely on
Basically, AI is eating up...AI, and all the most vulnerable people on whose work it has relied on for years to function. And mind you, these are highly educated people. The #gigeconomy is naturally the first to fall to #automatization. But, of course, content creators, coders, administration workers, etc. will be next in the new #techbro #technofascist #neoliberalism and #capitalism.

Oh look, yet another tech bro's pet project, "MCP-Shield," claims to "detect security issues" for the 3 people who still care about MCP servers. 
Meanwhile, GitHub's buzzword bingo hits a new high with #AI, code review, and "advanced security" to fix problems no one knew existed.

Ce n'est pas juste pour apaiser Washington. Toute personne un tant soit peu avertie sait que ça ne sert à rien de se plier devant Trump pour le calmer. Non, c'est bien pire que ça. Apparemment, certains législateurs semblent avoir découvert là un moyen de détricoter tous les efforts de ces dernières décennies pour imposer un certain nombre de responsabilités aux géants de la tech et réduire le désastre du #néolibéralisme à la sauce #siliconvalley et #techbro !

@linuxfoundation Yeah sure. All these #LLM leeches profit off of ingesting our society's shared knowledge and putting it behind a paywall. Many of them even blatantly violate intelectual property laws more often than not producing half thruths at best. Not to mention the ecological footprint. What you should be doing is protecting all the projects who suffer under the load of AI scrapers. Not blowing smoke up this clan of #techbro #ai #grifters

what @AnarchoNinaAnalyzes is pointing to is another one of the phenomenons of #fascism that people never reckon with:
THERE ARE NO FASCISTS WITHOUT GOD COMPLEXES
this is what has many people in disbelief about the #techbro coalition, especially Zuckerberg, who notoriously helped elect Obama.
but he has always been a sociopathic conman with baby-looks who charmed his way to god-like power by making real the all-watching, all-knowing “information awareness” state:

"Russland setzt auf hybride Bedrohungen, China auf zunehmende #Cyberaggressionen und in den USA verbündet sich der Präsident mit den #Techbro-Milliardären.

@padeluun Ich finde es super, dass nun eine erste deutsche #Astronautin ins Weltall gestartet ist - allerdings äußerst schade, dass dies nicht schon viel früher durch öffentlich staatliche Agenturen wie #DLR, #ESA und #NASA ermöglicht wurde, sondern nun ausgerechnet durch das private Unternehmen #SpaceX von #TechBro #ElonMusk und finanziert von einem #Crypto Milliardär #ChunWang .
Das passt leider voll in die Zeit und hat trotz allem wissenschaftlichen Kontext der Mission und #Gleichberechtigung einen äußerst faden Beigeschmack. Es haben nicht die Gesellschaft, Politik und öffentliche Institutionen erreicht, dass eine erste deutsche Frau als Astronautin ins Weltall startet. Sondern *ein Mann* - der auf moralisch fragwürdige Weise an viel Geld gekommen ist - hat entschieden, dass *ER* dafür *bezahlt* dass eine Frau ins Weltall startet.

It has now become crystal clear what is going on with so-called "AI" #scrapers.
"Let's get the #AI to retrieve its own training data!" they said. "That way it can learn and improve itself!"
So they got the #LLM to write some training data scraping #code. It sucks. Because of course it would suck. Rinse and repeat over and over, with no improvement. And now the whole world is drowning in all their wasteful scraping traffic, and people the world over are screaming in unity "Make. This. Stop!"
Your feedback is being heard. LLMs already have it in their training data and can reproduce it on demand - ask "what is the problem with AI scrapers?" and you'll be told "...Excessive scraping can overload web servers, leading to slower performance and potential downtime..." and "...AI scrapers can be difficult to block, as they are designed to bypass common anti-scraping techniques..."
Trouble is, it's an "us" problem rather than a "them" problem, and there is no mechanism by which you can get LLMs or their evil #TechBro overlords to actually give a shit.
