  Wasn’t that already a thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare announces AI Labyrinth, which uses AI-generated content to confuse and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and bots that ignore “no crawl” directives.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Calling it “stealing” is a stretch. The website is just serving up a page to a server. There is no theft in that. Is it fair to journalism? Not really but by your definition any person who views a page is stealing by sending the request to the server.

  Unless you are saying that it is somehow theft to deprive them of revenue. In that case it would be theft just by walking into a store and not buying what the store wants you to buy.

  Honestly we need a proof of work web standard. There should be an optional proof a work that a server can require.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube cracks down (again) on ad blockers.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Google is there own enemy. They could make ads less awful but they instead wonder why everyone is blocking them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is "tearing apart" companies, survey finds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  AI is mostly riding on hype and broken dreams

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is "tearing apart" companies, survey finds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Time to move on to a different job then. AI isn’t replacing anything that was all that meaningful as a career.

  It is replacing things like “SEO writer” and “phone support person.” There will always be a need for humans especially in places that involve working with other humans. The difference is there will be less of a focus on reading the script and more of a focus on being a empathic human. Once the market catches on that AI can’t replace us all the market will pop and there will be a bunch of lay offs before it goes back to normal.

  Really? Last time I used a Roku device it forced an account.

  This actually isn’t as bad as the sexism lawsuit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram's Pavel Durov has left France to go to Dubai, reportedly after a judge authorized him to leave the country for “several weeks”; the investigation is ongoing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Telegram is so much worse. Last time I checked Meta and Google at least tried to keep illegal activity of the platform.

  Telegram is home child porn, human trafficking and drug dealers. I would understand if they couldn’t take stuff down due to cryptography but in this case they choose to ignore it as it passed though and was stored totally unencrypted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  New devices don’t allow that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The AI State is a Surveillance State.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the opposite is much more true. A surveillance state is an AI state. Surveillance predates AI by quite a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla to DOJ: Please keep allowing Google Monopoly difficult engine payments, so they can keep paying us.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it is bold of you to think they have some sort of plan. Mozilla smells of bad management and unless the board is stepping down I don’t see that changing. It is entirely possible to make lots of money from privacy tools. What they are doing is a cheap Google knock off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That is expected. We’ve had a lot of warning at this point.

  I’ve literally never heard that

  I really hate the double speak here. They claim to be fighting censorship and then they pass laws that increase censorship.

  Ahhhhhh

  Baby sad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky will trap academics in the same way Twitter/X did⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it has a huge impact on the user experience. You primarily see content from the home server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky will trap academics in the same way Twitter/X did⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The concept of home server in Mastodon is not great. I think servers should show content from all over Mastodon with most servers giving the same experience. Expecting people to pick a server and then mostly talk to the same people is silly.

  Lemmy is much better in that regard since content is organized by community.

  Why are students cheating?

  I think a lot of the issue is that universities have become crap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Workers Are More Worried Than Hopeful About Future AI Use in the Workplace.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt it

  Economic disruptive tech isn’t new. Useless low skill jobs will be replaced by more complex jobs that are less soul crushing. Remember back in the day factory work was very bad with terrible labor provided sometimes women and children because they were cheaper. Now we have robots that do most of the work.

  AI is replacing all of those simple desk jobs. People like SEO article authors were not doing much anyway. AI can’t replace anything that requires deeper critical thinking, knowledge and experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Workers Are More Worried Than Hopeful About Future AI Use in the Workplace.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There will always be jobs. If the industrial revolution didn’t destroy jobs I don’t know what will.

  The biggest problem with AI is that companies way overestimate what it can do. It might be able to do a job but it won’t do it well. If it does do a job well that means that the job probably was just busywork to begin with.

  Honestly it is pretty concerning given that the UK has a decent amount of influence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK Government Just Made Everyone Less Safe As Apple Shuts Down iCloud Encryption⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I wish more companies had the courage to pull out of a market. Sure it will hurt profits but it would make a point. Honestly the PR benefits probably would make up for the lost revenue.
