Mike DolbowAny fellow #nerds try this out yet? There's actually a lot of settings I would keep. But the ability to quickly turn off so much #AIcrap is tempting. #Win11Debloat
JZehcuobIt's even worth. The negative impact are hard to imagine. A very strong opposition to AI is now vital.

‘AI isn’t going to have any beneficial influence on humans’: Beth Orton on creativity, craft and the inspirational power of David Bowie
Ahead of her new album, the singer-songwriter answers your questions on big 90s nights out, financial survival and the time a whole tube carriage serenaded her
Dave RahardjaAlthough #AI #slop does sometimes seep into the real world, the vast majority of it is currently spread online. That means all of us here who are chronically online have a strategically important position, by pure serendipity.
Be that person who never spreads #AI #aiCRAP and #aiPISS. Be that person who refuses to engage with generated slop; who points out AI media in their family chat; who discourages their friends from using chatbots and image generators to solve their problems.
Your voice matters, *especially* online, which is great, because this is where we are, a lot. Build a reputation as a curator of *human* content who consistently rejects AI slop. Be an oasis of sanity in a world collectively losing their minds.
I’m saddened that so many young folks are going through their formative educational years immersed in #AI #slop. There is a good chance that they will internalize AI’s style as their own: a weird kind of uncanny, bland, obsequious, error-filled garbage style.
But I’m also encouraged that many of them recognize that AI is part of the greed and exploitation that is robbing them of their future, and they are soundly rejecting it.
There is hope, and I will try to help to keep that hope going.
A useful sticker to put on #AI images.
The image is transparent! On some devices, you can “lift” the sign and save it as a sticker.

Coincidence? I think not.
Accounts are now labeled and hidden by the ai that protects genocide propaganda
delanthearAI Tech support? Oh dear. My partner is looking at getting a new running watch and fancies the Suunto Race S (which appears to be a bargain). It wasn't clear though if it supported workouts from Training Peaks. I checked the TP support. It says Suunto watches are supported... and then further down it talks about it being the Suunto 5 and 9 only.
That's weird, I think. Those watches are old. I bet this is old data.

Xavier Jacques CôtéAhh #Grindr… c’est tellement décourageant de voir la #merdicifation de cette application.
Dans l’interface de conversation d’un message publicitaire provenant d’un robot de polluriel, un message nous incite à s’abonner à un service augmenté par l’intelligence artificielle à 500$/mois qui pourra nous dire si la personne pourrait correspondre au profil de la personne recherchée.
Très mauvaise démonstration…
Et c’est sans compter les plantage…
