- Comment on Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users 3 days ago:
You don’t honestly think that DHS doesn’t know Lemmy exists, do you? If they’re monitoring Reddit, you’d have to be a fool to not realize that they’re probably here, too.
- Comment on Deepfake scams have gone from niche to industrial; one finance officer paid out nearly $500,000 on a fake video call with “company leadership” 5 days ago:
Last year, a finance officer at a Singaporean multinational paid out nearly $500,000 to scammers during what he believed was a video call with company leadership.
My bet is that that is just his very plausible cover story. He’s the one that got the money.

The rest of us, he indicates, will be stuck on the assembly line, building whatever the tech companies require.

China is accelerating the rollout of fully automated “dark factories,” where production continues non-stop without lighting, human workers or shift changes. e.vnexpress.net/…/no-lights-no-workers-ai-powered…

Who’s got the hot new ideas so they can beat them to market.
Well, there’s an absolutely plausible motive that I hadn’t considered, yet. Fuuuuuuck.
- Comment on TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover 2 weeks ago:
Its website says the platform will remain “impartial” to political agendas, won’t shadowban users or content, and will “uphold social responsibility.”
I don’t feel, in this day and age, like you can be politically impartial (i.e. allow fascists to use your platform to spread their propaganda) while simultaneously upholding social responsibility (i.e. not allowing fascists to use your platform to spread their propaganda).

- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 3 weeks ago:
but instead give us a heap of AI-generated code and say “just put this in.”
we now have to reverse-engineer the requirements from their crappy AI code.
It may be time for some malicious compliance.
Don’t reverse engineer anything. Do as your told and “just put this in” and deploy it. Everything will break and management will explode, but now you’ve demonstrated that they can’t just replace you with AI.
Now explain what you’ve been doing (reverse engineering to figure out their requirements), but that you’re not going to do that anymore. They need to either give you proper requirements so that you can write properly working code, or they give you AI slop and your just going “put it in” without a second thought. L
You’ll need your whole team on board for this to work, but what are they going to do, fire the whole team and replace them with AI? You’ll have already demonstrated that that’s not an option.

Everyone knows that AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini can often hallucinate sources.
No, no, apparently not everyone, or this wouldn’t be a problem.

- Comment on US | NY Governor Hochul signs bill requiring warning labels on ‘addictive’ social media 1 month ago:
these platforms will have to display warnings “when a young user initially uses the predatory feature and periodically thereafter.”
Predatory features should not come with a warning for young users. They should be banned for everyone.
- Comment on Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics” 1 month ago:
I didn’t say it changed their point. I said it was pedantic.
- Comment on Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics” 1 month ago:
That’s just pedantic. Those other models were also either trained on human created data, or other models themselves… and those other models… etc etc etc.
When you go back far enough, it’s all human created data. The person you responded to didn’t spell all of that out because they didn’t need to to make their point.
- Comment on Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at? 1 month ago:
If your interest is in useful prints, I would highly recommend learning FreeCAD and just making your own to solve your own problems.
Nothing beats the feeling of trying to do something, wishing some tool exists to simplify the process, visualizing what that tool would look like in your own head, designing it yourself, and then watching it (a thing that, as far as you know, has never existed before) get printed into existence for the first time ever.
…
And then realizing that your design has some flaws and iterating over multiple versions as you make improvements. 😉
There are lots of excellent FreeCAD tutorial videos online targeting 3D printing.

- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 1 month ago:
I imagine that the bubble portion is light weight enough, one could put it on the roof of a data center, apartment building, strip mall, etc. That appears to be the piece that takes up the most space.
Another thought. I wonder if the bubble portion could be oriented vertically, maybe inside a simple enclosure to protect it from wind.

I wish I could remember. It was definitely on YT. I think it was in German with subtitles. It wasn’t long. Possibly was someone’s film school project.

They’re here, too.
I occasionally see comments to the effect of, “Oh, really? Can you tell me more about that?” That seem pretty likely to just be bots trying to generate data on certain topics for AI training. Thankfully, most people seem to ignore them.
