You know what?
Why do you need a thing like that?
Just stay unconnected, off-line, off grid and be yourself with your real flesh-and-blood friends around you.
Wouldn't that be nicer?
I think so. Certainly reading things like:
"Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28"
Amazon is killing a privacy feature to bolster Alexa+, the new subscription assistant. "
If you never want to see #AI suggestions in your #DuckDuckGo search results without having to store a cookie from them, just add "kz=-1" to your quicksearch or bookmarklet URL, like so:

The anti-AI artifacts are a bit too prominent on this one for my liking, but maybe if I pretend it's the texture of my watercolor paper?
Oh well I don't even care anymore about image quality, I just hope the AI model chokes when it trains on my images.
Does the new app feature improve battery life or reduce network traffic? No? Then fuck off.
Sidder og forsøger at fordrive nuets teknoangst med noget sød analog musik, og så smider Mr Bungle det her vers i hovedet på mig som en boomerang via 1999:
From history
The flood of counterfeits released
The black cloud
Reductionism and the beast
Automatons gather all the pieces
So the world may be increased
In simulation jubilation
For the deceased

A well-funded Moscow-based global ‘news’ network has infected Western artificial intelligence tools worldwide with Russian propaganda
> An audit found that the 10 leading generative AI tools advanced Moscow’s disinformation goals by repeating false claims from the pro-Kremlin Pravda network 33 percent of the time.
Hunger Games for AI
OK really it's called "Survival Game" but that's the basic idea. Some Cornell researchers decided to put various LLMs through their paces, giving them a limited number of tries to solve a variety of problems, and eliminating those that failed in successive rounds of evaluation. I do NOT have the time to read this comprehensively, but from the intro:
Our results show that while AI systems achieve the Autonomous Level in simple tasks, they are still far from it in more complex tasks, such as vision, search, recommendation, and language. While scaling current AI technologies might help, this would come at an astronomical cost. Projections suggest that achieving the Autonomous Level for general tasks would require 1026 parameters. To put this into perspective, loading such a massive model requires so many H100 GPUs that their
total value is 4 × 107 times that of Apple Inc.’s market value. Even with Moore’s Law, supporting such a parameter scale would take 70 years. This staggering cost highlights the complexity of human tasks and the inadequacies of current AI technologies.

Check it out! Tell me what jumped out at you.
Miffled about the firefox sidebar including ai chatbots? welp, time to peruse about:config again..
..except this time you are looking for
browser.ml.chat.enabled
..and set that shit to false.
or just use waterfox or librewolf.
Amusingly, the hashtag autocorrector tried to get me to use #FuckAirCanada instead of #FuckAI.
I mean, yes, but not in this particular use case.
@remixtures Oh fuck off. Why the fuck should we use these bullshit generators only to have to fine toothcomb the garbage they produce? #FuckAI
Sigh okay my brain is a foggy smear this week, I missed the deadline on downloading my kindle ebooks because I procrastinate (and I wish kobo would stop breaking), and now firefox is selling our data? ish?
Is anyone using DuckDuckGo browser for desktop (laptop) or Vivaldi browser and do you like them?
I have DuckDuckGo on my phone and I like it okay, I don't use it for much besides scrolling to be honest.

El cartel de este año de los carnavales de Irun es un vómito de IA y me cago en los muertos del ayuntamiento y de lo que lo permiten. Acabo de verlo y estoy de mala leche.
En fait, j'ai réagi à un repouet pour le #mastobada où la personne n'a rien trouvé de mieux que de créer une chanson avec suno AI incluant le mot de la semaine.
QUEL PURIN D’INTÉRÊT ?
