TaggartBoost if you want less generative AI in your tech in 2025.
Wow do I wish Phanpy grouped push notifications too.

@catsalad This post is the social media equivalent of carefully bending a fork to fit perfectly in an electrical outlet, then willingly inserting it while standing barefoot in a puddle.
โจpencilearsโจ@mttaggart @catsalad sometimes it's fun to go a little viral
@mttaggart It's been 13 hours since you posted this, and it is still blowing up!

Succubard's Library@mttaggart wait, it doesn't? 
@OctaviaConAmore No. It groups in-app notifications, but if you use the PWA on your phone or enable desktop notifications, it will not group the push notifications to your device.
@mttaggart oooooh, my eyes completely skipped the "push" part of that post

@mttaggart iPhone (if you have one) can do it for you with notification summary.
@mttaggart I have it on my iPhone 13 Pro, which is significantly prior to Apple Intelligence.
(I mean the one that groups notifications from apps and delivers them all together at one time of day- not the horrible new thing that tries to reword your notifications thatโs been all over the news)
@SimonCHulse Okay, but getting like 3k notifications all at once isn't a solution either.
@mttaggart it delivers them with one vibration, not 3000.
@mttaggart I do agree, being able to group notifications by the post they are related to would be great but the way that notifications on phones work, youโd have to have buy-in from the OS, to go back and edit the notifications that had already arrived with the new information.
"None" is included in "less" you ding dongs

Oh I thought you meant adding generative ai to the less utility.

@FritzAdalis Okay totally unrelated but now I'm imagining creating local aliases of common tools for service accounts like
www-data that just spit out lies
Lord KelvinThen pipe that output to more. You know, so you don't miss anything.
Spooky Panda ๐ณ๏ธโ๐@mttaggart Ding dong is the silliest insult I've ever heard and I absolutely love it.

None. The correct amount is none.

martin lentink ๐ช๐บ ๐บ๐ฆ๐@mttaggart Actually, I want *no* generative AI in my tech.
At all.

Andrew Rock@mttaggart I use it on some photos to clean up distractions to make art not reportage. Not going to rule out other uses for other people, but I do move on from obvious synthetic time-wasting crap. My biggest concern is hearing of people in important positions, so self-important that they think their time is so valuable that they need not read the things they are paid the big bucks to read and instead on the summaries imagined for them with generative AI. The devil is in the detail.
HilaryWhat you are describing sounds to me like AI, which has many valid uses, but not generative AI, which largely doesn't.
The rest of your rant did make me wonder for a bit whether you were an AI bot yourself.
buonhobo@regordane @andrewrock @mttaggart I think editing pictures is still generative AI, since it uses diffusion models like imagen, dall-e, stable diffusion, and so on
@buonhobo I never said it wasn't generative AI, just that it was the kind I like to use.
rusty@mttaggart i donโt want any. Its utterly useless to me
que :verifried:@mttaggart also in 2024! ๐คทโโ๏ธ
JWcph, Radicalized By Decency@mttaggart Is it possible to boost this post a million times!?
Ozzelot 
@mttaggart I try very hard to have none of it in my tech, but I want less of it in all the tech beyond my control that I am forced to use.
Ben ToddI refuse to support Mozilla whilst they are caught up in the AI bubble.
adm__@mttaggart "Then he said to the rising tide, "You are subject to me, as the land on which I am sitting is mine, and no one has resisted my overlordship with impunity. I command you, therefore, not to rise on to my land, nor to presume to wet the clothing or limbs of your master." But the sea came up as usual, and disrespectfully drenched the king's feet and shins. So jumping back, the king cried, "Let all the world know that the power of kings is empty and worthless..."

Cairo Braga [toot]@mttaggart if you mean derivative LLMs, then yes
Kenny Park@mttaggart Oh my God, Apple Intelligence is so awful.
mayhair@mttaggart My personal opinion: local, open-source AI >>> corporate cloud AI. ๐

Robin Will@mttaggart I actually want more. If it is implemented well and used well, it will make life easier for everyone.

๐ณ๐ฑ@mttaggart I want quality content. While often that doesnt come from AI I wouldnt care if it did, in theory.
Leiya@mttaggart less... Like zero ai.
Stuck HereWhat I hate are the obvious AI written soft news articles online. Bing and Google will give you a list of the days news (often what gets pushed are articles on topics you've read before, which is annoying.)
And as you click on an article you find garbage that was written by generative AI. Paragraphs simply tell you that you've come to the right place to read about XYZ.. and information that reads like it came out of reddit with no substance and a lot of rambling.
Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC@mttaggart I want open source generative AI which is small enough to run on my local GPU and only runs when I explicitly start it.
Flex Foot@mttaggart yeah i'll fall for this call to action ๐
Estel@mttaggart if by less, yiu mean None, yes
Mauri@mttaggart
Itโs been 2 years of this generative AI nonsense and it hasnโt impressed me one bit. Iโd say I donโt want any of it.

@mttaggart I've come to like AI as a side chat kinda thing to help me with basic grunt work. But I HATE AI in my editor auto completing stuff for me
njsg@mttaggart I think there is one thing that's especially lacking in Generative AI, a feature that'd fix it for everyone if present.
Garbage collection.
kat ๐ป@mttaggart How about none? Can we have none?
Scandinavian โ Architect@mttaggart just less isnโt enough ๐
