Now this is some bullshit.

Today: Don't have an "approved" phone? Too bad for you.
Tomorrow: Don't have a Google account? Good bye.

Another nail in the coffin of the Open Web. Those fuckers.

Wow, the people who get defensive about this are hilarious. I’ve not seen so obvious examples of deep insecurities since I was a teenager.

i am so tired of "ethical concerns aside" being a phrase i see every single time someone tries to defend the use of LLMs. fuck that! ethical concerns front and fucking center! it is very revealing that tech is currently in such a state that the quiet part can be said out loud without any pushback.

Reminder to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest. One thing you can do for yourself is mute the terms "Eurovision" and "Song Contest" on social media.

Hey I have an idea! If you can't tell the difference between a bit of hand made bespoke pixelled imagery and AI, don't go shouting "AI slop" and blocking.

An AI will not notice or give a shit. The artist who DID however will sigh... and then laugh at you and your tiny little brain.
