Bei Obdachlosen sagen sie:

Bei Hartz4-Empfängern sagen sie:

Aber in Wirklichkeit verachten sie
alle, die Hilfe benötigen. Weil sie

Half the world’s population lives in countries spending more on debt interest than on health. 2.1 billion live in countries spending more on debt than education. This is the cost of a broken financial system.
30 top economists—brought together by the Catholic Church—have laid out what must change to establish a fairer system. Their report is out today.
Let’s hope leaders act at #FfD4
Die Pet Shop Boys erzählen ihre Geschichte in dieser schönen ARTE-Doku:
https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/121692-000-A/pet-shop-boys-40-jahre-popgeschichte/
"Pet Shop Boys: 40 Jahre Popgeschichte" zeichnet die unglaubliche Karriere des vielleicht erfolgreichsten und einflussreichsten Popduos der Musikgeschichte nach. Neil Tennant und Chris Lowe geben mit bewegenden und oft auch humorvollen Reflexionen Einblick in ihren außergewöhnlichen Weg und ihre musikalische Karriere.
long before all of that started, there were two restaurants on Rideau St. in Ottawa called "The Restaurant Next Door", and "The Restaurant Across The Street" which was across the street. i think the Restaurant Next Door might have been next to Nate's Deli or the Rideau Bakery. that end of Rideau St. used to have some local culture. it's all just chains and high-rise condos now.
Using a search engine is so 2024.
@CatsWhoCode @zenhob Just in case we dared to use the term 'Artificial Intelligence' for such, that would probably reflect an IQ just below room temperature.
Algorithms assessing x-rays for tumors undoubtedly have their merits and are definitely a different animal than this bullshit. Are you supposed to PAY for that?
If this is a giveaway, it's rather a throwaway. No bull.
@zenhob I cashed out all my tech stocks back in January. I suspect this will be the dot-bomb v2.0, where everyone finally figures out that LLMs and the hundreds of billions of dollars invested would have been better off getting tossed into a dumpster and just lit on fire.
They're impressive chatbots, but not useful for anything of consequence. They can't do math, they can't play games, they get basic facts wrong, they can be manipulated into being complicit in crimes, etc.
@1337 @zenhob Yup, but I've made money on my tech stocks over the past 8 to 10 years. I watched with pleasure when the tech ETFs dropped nearly 30% earlier this year, but I thought it still had more to go. Having said that, it's still not back to mid-January/mid-February highs. It was still a good move.
I'm happy to have cashed out and moved it elsewhere while I wait for the AI / LLM bubble to burst.
@stelclementine @1337 @zenhob As an IT guy, blockchain and crypto seems interesting, possibly revolutionary -- taking money out of the hands of politicians and bankers, and making it a hard asset like gold, but instantly portable and nearly infinitely divisible -- all made possible and enforced by code.
As someone who breathes, and is consequently concerned about the environment, it's a trainwreck.
Only time will tell what happens to it.
@stelclementine @1337 @JustinDerrick @zenhob Yes but there was a time - not many months mind you - where too many tech enthusiasts insisted that you should put your stuff on the blockchain, until they realized it is a slow, expensive, pseudononymous, world readable database with very little payload size full of bugs and exploits. So they stopped insisting on it.
The new machine lying fad even has governments singing its praises.
@toriver
Is there a better distributed database?
Single-purpose? Probably not. Nor is there one that is slower or more energy-consuming. And with no transactional rollback where you «fix» errors by forking. And it’s not really one, there are multiple, with some bridging going on.
@1337 @JustinDerrick @zenhob
Cryptocurrency found a usecase where it's really useful: Drug deals, scams, ransom money and similar things that need to move money on the black market.
That's real value keeping it afloat. Criminal but still real.
@JustinDerrick @1337 @zenhob
That's not what I was arguing.
AI, NFT, etc are/were bubbles, full of hot air, no actual value.
Drugs and other crimes - worth billions. Not a bubble, people just need to be aware of what they are really investing in.
@JustinDerrick @Dataless @zenhob @artemis
I agree. Though I suppose then they’d all try harder to hide their money in anonymous accounts and invest in “crypto for billionaires”
They’ve got everything propping up unaffordable international housing prices now
Honest question: If the wealthy’s billions disappear what happens to the economy?
They could still personally buy as much lifestyle as they want
If their cash hoard was not sloshing around in the real world would that be bad or good?
@Dataless @JustinDerrick @zenhob @artemis
Money is a convenient fiction, but a lot of time was used on this.
And some of the people are capable of useful work.
@zenhob It really is. Venture capitalists and companies have spent billions and billions on a tech that has no future in any of the things they've been spending on it doing. LLMs can have uses, but not one single one of them is anything these corporations are trying so hard to force them into. They will never -- no matter what -- ever be able to become true AI and will never successfully perform as well as alternatives in any of the things they're using them for.
What scares me is it may be another housing market crash type of thing if everyone lets this get much further. Governments are already starting to become receptive towards it. I'd love to see corporations knocked down a peg, but chances are they'll just get subsidies to support them when this fails.
I realise the overall situation is bad, but the absurdity of that one is delightful to me! Haha!
@zenhob adblock the ai overviews. No mercy.
Every couple months they change the css class and i need a new ublock rule but that's at least somewhat tolerable compared to the alternative.
@zenhob Open question: if you adblock the overview, does it prevent the request from being made to the server?
Or is it still burning energy and just not being rendered? I'm not sure of the specific point in the search process that it happens and when ublock steps in.
@ravelin @zenhob Do any exist?
I'm pretty sure everyone either does it themselves, or is a thin wrapper around the index of someone who does on the back end.
There's no user-respecting search engines that focus on delivering quality results rather than selling ads anymore.
And you can't create one, because everyone is so busy blocking AI crawlers with cloudflare and anubis and what have you that it's virtually impossible to build a "good" web crawler in 2025.
Without the index, your search engine is toast.
@azonenberg @zenhob there are better sources than me for this, I lose track of who uses their own indexes, but Ecosia and StartPage at least both have the option to exclude AI summaries.
I believe Ecosia is developing its own index, but also has the option to include results from Google's.
I'm not sure if using Google's index means it also generates the summary on the back end?
@ravelin @azonenberg @zenhob @Seirdy Here it is (regularly updated):
https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexes/
It's not as good as a Google search was in 2010, but it's a far cry better than google circa 2025.
Duckduckgo has had their own share of AI bandwagon ing, but the lite version remains Ai free, and the more people that use it, the more likely it is that it sends the message "we don't want that, we just want to search"
