With iOS age-gating users in the UK, you may be asking whether to get rid of your iPhone? Will Google will soon follow?

The answer is simple:

Your next device should run an open-source, degoogled operating system: iodé will never include privacy-invasive technologies in iodéOS. #iOS #Android #enshittification #diday

A common argument from AI stans is basically mysticism: “we don’t really know how it works therefore it must be alive and have a soul”.

Dude, first of all we know how it works, human beings created every step of LLMs, and the didn’t imbue it with life like a golem, it’s just applied statistics.

Secondly just because you personally find it mysterious and unknowable doesn’t mean it’s magic.

Funnily enough there's ALSO a lot of AI stans who will think they're very clever and attack you with "so you think there's a soul?" when you say that LLMs don't think and somehow make it about "human chauvinism".

“So it failed age verification and locked me out of many features. Bear in mind, I am 45 years old. I have an Apple account for 25 years, the age of my personal account alone should already verify my age.

Credit cards are not documents. Many people don’t have them. Apple don’t provide any other way to verify your age because they are a stupid American company with American values in which you’re just as human as your credit score.

Age verification is a scam, but checking it with a credit card is even worse.”

My daughter shared this and my god, if there was one piece of advice I could give anyone on the planet, it's this

"Für kommerzielle Teams mit Bedarf an nativem KI-Tooling oder einem breiten Erweiterungsökosystem bleibt GitHub vorerst die pragmatischere Wahl."

Das sehe ich aber mal ganz anders. Würden "kommerzielle Teams" weniger #KI nutzen, bzw. mehr auf lokale LLMs setzen. So wäre Code in meinen Augen definitiv besser und sicherer.

Diese Einstellung fördert definitiv nur den weiteren Wachstum von #BigTech und schadet uns bei der #Digitalisierung
