So, do all Android phones come with the Gemini app pre installed, like YouTube and Maps?

No wonder Google says its AI is getting popular. They've added it everywhere, including search engines, and forced users to use it without providing an option to disable it.

This is what a monopoly is all about. Sadly, nobody is going to stop them. They have already killed competition and the independent web, and most of their users have no idea how information reaches them or if it is even accurate

“Slopsquatting” in a nutshell:

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything

I started selfhosting #git around 10 hours ago. And already #openai (WHO ARE NOT OPEN ABOUT ANYTHING) has started to crawl it. Taking up about 150MB of data (all text btw). My #cloudflare now uses #aibotmitigation, and I'll add robots.txt. but it's insane the speed they steal your content at.

The Swedish and French governments are following in the footsteps of the FBI and want to demand backdoors in end-to-end encrypted messaging services like @signalapp as @Mer__edith said in the Swedish news:

"There is no such thing as a backdoor that only the good guys can access.”

I've been enjoying #farmingsimulator a bit too much the last week

This post really resonated with me. My #notes are all #markdown, that I try to sync over all my machines. The cherry on top is that I don't have to open another program (looking at you notion) just to edit my notes. Plus, it's cross-platform by design!

Sometimes I just turn off all the lights at random times for the lolz. #homeassistant #smarthome
I've just watched the first episode of the new season of #whitelotus. It seems incredibly promising, I was uncomfortable the whole hour
