"I went to the New York Times to glimpse at four headlines and was greeted with 422 network requests and 49 megabytes of data. It took two minutes before the page settled. And then you wonder why every sane tech person has an adblocker installed on systems of all their loved ones."

People who think #ProofOfStake is better than #ProofOfWork haven't had to touch #Ethereum and espechally #Solana which require a shitton of #RAM, NVMe-#SSD|s and superfast, low latency networking!

In fact they make #Monero look like the biggest act of envoirmentalism since the ban of leaded car gasoline and CFCs!

• And yes this is no joke: There are BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES using these #Shitcoins!

Seriously, this is also a problem, or did you guys really thought that the #AIbubble & #AIslop would stop #Shitcoin-Floods done by #TechBros and #FinanceBros ?

• These people are professionally "#HornyForMoney" and since #Banksters run out of real #Economy to #enshittify for #profit, they'll make up shit to make number go up!

A great post by Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) "The 40-year #economic mistake that let #Google conquer (and #enshittify) the world"

THIS is the most blatant unmasking as a #UsefulIdiot I've seen to this day:

• Selfish-smug asshole like you that decided they'd rather let a #christofascist win by NOT voting AGAINST him are the reason we got this shitshow in the #USA and how the shitshow in 1930s #Germany came to be!

Seriously, #USpol sickens me, because these folks are gonna #enshittify the lives of > 1bn people outside the #US who never got a say in said elections just because they don't get to "Have their cake, eat it AND get paid for it!"

• If stupidity was a power source, these people would be anle to power the entire planet with it!

I dont have a printer, so I drew my own bit to add to my iNaturalist shirt Ive had for years to wear today to the q&a for a new Ambassador program.

We have been waiting three months for a q&a promised to use about adding GenAI to the site. Still not gotten that promised on, but got this invite to a q&a about becoming an ambassador.

Most users do not want genAI, in fact their blog announcement got so many comments they closed commenting. iNat staff have been obtuse and say they have no plans yet to share about the project so our promised q&a is pointless. But they want a working prototype by the end of the year.

We still do not have guarantee that it will be opt in only, we do not have any transparency for the project as to how it will scrape our data and be traceable, we showed how even using genAI for summarizing the comments about it attributed falsehoods to people who never said what the summary claimed, we showed how it hallucinated ID tips which is what they want to use it to generate…and now, openAI actually admits in their own paper that hallucinations are just a part of genAI, showing this will enshittify the most widely used community science platform.

If you got the invite for the meeting in 40 minutes (noon EST) I ask that you please hop on the meeting and ask these questions and push for them to drop this inane project.

In the end: How can we be an ambassador for GenAI with any good conscious?

@pluralistic still would love to see you do a writeup on this to publicize the issues. I am just a field biologist. I don’t have reach. I don’t have electronic expertise. You do. Most people don’t know this is even happening because it is being shoved under proverbial rugs.
