“Hackers Used Meta’s AI Support Bot to Seize Instagram Accounts – Krebs on Security”

The well~implemented and secure "AI" chat system is a myth

it's just occurred to me how odd the mozilla reposiitioning into AI is.

no, not that they're trying to make bank off AI, the way they're trying to do it - by scraping the web.

that's a service useful for training models. only a handful of entities are really doing that. everyone else is just using models that other people have trained.

how is that supposed to save the company?!

And nobody’s about to argue you could duplicate Inde Navarrette’s performance in OBSESSION because AI can only show you what somebody’s already done, and ain’t no living thing’s done THAT performance before.

Tonight a friend tried to talk to me about "AI" and I became the physical, loud manifestation of the Bugs Bunny "NOOOOOOOOO" meme and walked away mid sentence. They were offended; I was practicing self care.

We absolutely fucking *should* do this. The current state of codebases in the public sector is... not good, and they're only going to get worse.

I will say one thing though... Specifically on the tracks Lexin and Stained Hearts, I much prefer the mix and vocals from the live performance. I think they hit harder and Lynn Wu's higher register makes Stained Hearts sound much more otherworldly. I'll have to get the blu-ray...

I gotta admit that the new SIri animation *does* look way nicer

Sigh. So: bad news it seems that the "Live Translation" feature which I will need to use on an upcoming trip, is gated behind "Apple Intelligence" toggle, and thus I need to have the model goo present on at least one device. That's the bad news. The good news is that this most apps seem to have individual preferences so I *can* turn all the toxic "summary" behavior off. But this appears to be a constellation of checkboxes smeared out over a zillion different apps. Has anyone made this list?

all the criticism has been said, all the takes been had. the only metaphor i have been finding consistently useful for understanding what is happening with people and "AI" is addiction, and specifically gambling addiction.

• gifv: A parody of reCAPTCHA. A checkbox saying “Am creature” is clicked. A dragon-themed loading icon pops up. Then a window shows up asking the user to type the text that the image says. The image has three faces in different orientations and expressions and the correct answer is “:3 uwu :P”. Then the user is asked to boop a snoot. To accomplish this, the user clicks on the fingers of a hand to curl them so just the index finger is pointing. Then the whole hand is dragged so that the tip of the index finger touches the tip of the snoot on a dragon’s head. Then “VERIFY” is clicked and in the dragon loading icon’s place, a checkmark is shown, indicating that the user is indeed “am creature”.

Happy #pride

The only spaces I've found where I actually feel comfortable with my queerness aren't Pride events (with or without corporate backing), they're furry conventions.

Only at furry conventions can I just... vibe with people. In my fursuit, if I want, and while that's objectively weird at least locally it's treated as normal.

If I want to do sexual things, the option is usually there. (Private room parties, some friends and friends-of-friends, etc.)

But if I just want to cuddle and laugh and talk about nerd shit for four hours, I can do it.

And that's the vibe I've been trying to cultivate around myself here on Fedi.
