  The air quality in Tennessee would disagree with you about datacenter waste products…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have any basis for this assumption, FaceDeer?

  Based on your pro-AI-leaning comments in this thread, I don’t think people should accept defeatist rhetoric at face value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla welcomes Amy Keating as Chief Business Officer | The Mozilla Blog⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  New Mozilla’s goals:

  As Mozilla pursues a new portfolio strategy centered on building an open, trustworthy alternative to today’s closed and concentrated AI ecosystem…

  That’s the only goal listed. No second point. No mention of Firefox anywhere in the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former chemical plant in North Wales, UK, could become AI data center⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have any reason to believe the opposite?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk says he’s going to open-source the new X algorithm next week⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of true things that aren’t a perfect fit for Wikipedia. Is the article untrue?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds: "The AI Slop Issue Is *NOT* Going To Be Solved With Documentation"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the write-up. I was wondering why these comments were removed too before looking at the account and realizing the whole thing was gone.

  Is there any way to view comments removed by moderators, or do servers simply respect those decisions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds: "The AI Slop Issue Is *NOT* Going To Be Solved With Documentation"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Torvalds doesn’t want AI-generated submissions to the Linux kernel because

  the AI slop people aren’t going to document their patches as such. That’s such an obvious truism that I don’t understand why anybody even brings up AI slop.

  He’s right, and this should be obvious. I have seen many a conversation between somebody who has filed an AI-generated bug report, and a developer trying to diagnose it, where it’s clear the person who’s filed the bug report has no idea what they’re talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO Begs Users to Stop Calling AI Content "Slop"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the most concrete use case for AI that justifies its existence?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  More news sites need to follow through on AI companies failing to meet their own tepid promises to “add guardrails” (the most meaningless phrase in existence) when they continue to allow avoidable harm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Users of generative AI struggle to accurately assess their own competence⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This article is about how AI exacerbates those tendencies. And since there are so few ways to accurately measure the functionality of AI in general, those self-segments are a significant portion of AI’s value proposition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia insists it isn’t Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faith⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nvidia has aggressively rebutted suggestions of any similarity [to failed telecom Lucent], saying in a leaked recent memo that it “does not rely on vendor financing arrangements to grow revenue”.

  …Saying in a memo that was suspiciously, conveniently leaked and just so happens to claim everything is fine

  This sounds like an opinion from the LinkedIn echo chamber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcoming John Solomon as Mozilla’s New Chief Marketing Officer | The Mozilla Blog⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As we enter a new era shaped by AI and renewed debates over consumer agency…

  Hey Mozilla: Despite your belief, AI is not inevitable for every product under the sun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Edge Pushes an "All in One Browser" Message on Chrome’s Download Page⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft could even push its AI summaries as a RAM-friendly version of visiting website pages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “It sounds like you want low-end devices to be turned into thin clients for cloud-based operating systems. Do I have that right?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta’s star AI scientist Yann LeCun plans to leave for own startup⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They could both be right… From a certain point of view.

  Within FAIR, LeCun has instead focused on developing world models that can truly plan and reason. Over the past year, though, Meta’s AI research groups have seen growing tension and mass layoffs as Zuckerberg has shifted the company’s AI strategy away from long-term research and toward the rapid deployment of commercial products.

  LeCun says current AI models are a dead end for progress. I think he’s correct.

  Zuckerberg appears to believe long term development of alternative models will be a bigger money drain than pushing current ones. I think he’s correct too.

  It looks like two guys arguing about which dead end to pursue.

  The only reason I’m gonna be smart enough to bring water to concerts is because I read this thread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeff Bezos reportedly launches new AI startup with himself as CEO⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a reference to Arnold Palmer, whose estate tried (or threatened?) to sue them after they used the name “Armless Palmer” for a flavor.

  Of course other billionaires would be thin-skinned enough to feel offended by that…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Would you like to claim that Bitcoin crap doesn’t infest Nostr?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why you would refer to a man who believes Bitcoin is a gift from God as evidence his protocol isn’t about Bitcoin

  I was talking about “The Browser Choice Alliance, representing Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi”

  “Hope it helps to tell yourself that :)”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it’s not a coincidence.

  Great.

  Bye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Either you believe that the Bitcoin infestation is all just a total coincidence, or you don’t. Why don’t you tell us what you think, instead of JAQing off about it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I provided proof. With links.

  Will you back up your claims that the Bitcoin crap that infests the app and its community is just a coincidence?

  Do you genuinely believe that? Or do you just think that everybody here is gullible?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Offers Chrome Users ‘Real Cash’ Rewards To Change Browser⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a hard time taking an “alliance” seriously when all three browsers are slightly different skins of Google Chromium.

  But unsurprisingly, they are correct about their competitor this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked you for counterevidence to the claims, not apologism. The fact they left the smoking gun on their own website is enough for me, but clearly you have an agenda of your own.

  Unless you expect everyone here to believe that the protocol, the clients, the funders, and the creators all just coincidentally love Bitcoin, you’ve got a lot of explaining to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you provide any counterevidence to the claims?

  To quote them: “Nostr was kickstarted mostly by a community of Bitcoiners, so it has disproportionately attracted the attention of Bitcoiners.”

  The “optional” Bitcoin payment system is baked into the biggest Nostr clients.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The protocol was built to exchange cryptocurrency over it. Today, basically nobody uses it except for cryptocurrency shills.
