  • These platforms are currently exempt from the under-16s social media ban. But that could all change

  • It's beyond insane that the place where most of the whacko conspiracy theories were created {4chan) is somehow excluded.

    They are going after the users and street dealers again.

  • BECAUSE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE IS COMMUNIST AND THE SPAWN OF SATAN HIMSELF!!

    ALL THE COMMUNISTS ARE SHARING "REPOSITORIES" AND DOING "PULL REQUESTS" AND "COMMITS". AND THEY ARE DISCUSSING THINGS OPENLY LIKE "ISSUES" AND "BUGS".

    THEY ARE PLANNING BRANCHES AND RESOLVING MERGE CONFLICTS!

    GITHUB HAS TO BE STOPPED BEFORE THEY CAN RELEASE!

  • I don't know who Lynelle Briggs is, but I'm glad that she is keeping the legend of Barry Humphries alive by doing a great Dame Edna Everidge impersonation. She just needs a bit more bedazzling and to throw in the occasional "Hello, possums!"

  • president is lashing out at female reporters

    Is it lashing because rapng is out of the question?

  • AI is like Temu for thinking

    Jump

  • I shit you not:

    The comparison between AI and Temu as a metaphor for thinking highlights a paradox: while AI systems, like the e-commerce platform Temu, are built on vast data and sophisticated algorithms, their "thinking" is fundamentally different from human cognition. Temu uses AI to personalize shopping by analyzing user behavior, showing products based on clicks and basket additions, creating a highly efficient, addictive experience that mirrors how AI models learn from data. Similarly, large language models (LLMs) are trained on massive internet text, learning to predict the next word by adjusting internal connections—much like Temu’s algorithms refine product recommendations in real time. However, this process is not genuine understanding. Just as Temu’s AI can generate absurd imagery, such as a trailer-hitch-shaped camper, which reflects a failure to grasp real-world physics or context, LLMs can produce plausible-sounding text that lacks true comprehension or experience. The AI’s "thought" is a statistical simulation, not a conscious or experiential process. As one researcher noted, AI is not self-aware and has no idea of what it is doing, operating purely through probability-based decisions without any internal model of reality. While both Temu and AI systems appear intelligent by generating tailored, seemingly coherent outputs, they do so by manipulating patterns in data rather than engaging in genuine reasoning or understanding. This is why some critics describe LLMs as "stochastic parrots" that mimic language without comprehension. In essence, AI’s "thinking" is like Temu’s interface: highly optimized, responsive, and persuasive, but ultimately rooted in pattern recognition, not insight.

    AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.

    Yeah, nah. We are all fucked.

  • Australia | Teenagers sue over social media ban for ‘violating their right to communicate’

  • It will be a game of whack-a-mole.

    They'll just keep adding to their list of apps requiring ID.

    And those apps you list are next

    Then they start banning protocols

  • Is it effectively a competitor to Lemmy or Mastodon at it's heart?

    Re Circles, to me it just comes across as groups or even simpler mailing lists. Overlaying security on top with Boundaries seems useful.

    Just from a high level, i nearly always end up looking at 2 issues:

    • is the social media/ app topic centric or people centric? Eg, I look at Lemmy being topic centric as it's mainly split by Communities. Whereas, say, Facebook at least initially, was people centric as you effectively sub to your Friends. I'm a fan of topic based.
    • how does the social media/app scale with size, eg with thousands and millions of users/posts/comments. Eg, Lemmy does it via upvotes/downvotes, and you can sort comments in a post by Top. There's also what I view as security aspects to this, but security is really a huge topic to itself anyways.

  • TBH, I haven't paid much attention to the workings of ActivityPub etc to comment. I'm just an oblivious end user nowadays 😀

    If I really wanted to set up something like that nowadays, I'd probably use something like Lemmy anyways. news servers were basically abandoned for discussion forums hosted separately on websites, and they evolved into various social media etc. And here we are, recreating the wheel again!

    Now I'm getting nostalgic. Maybe I should go hunting around usenet archives for my first post. Hahahaaa! Me so old....

  • New Zealand says it’s going to eradicate feral cats

    Jump

  • That's pet cats and doesn't count the damage that feral cats do.

    Here claims that Australia’s Cats Kill Two Billion Animals Annually, with feral cats killing 1.4 Billion.

    I've personally scraped up native birds and possums that were killed by neighbours roaming pet cats. Most not eaten. And some just paralysed and left that I called WIRES wildlife rescue for. It's heartbreaking. These poor little critters didn't deserve an ending like that.

    Cats like hunting. Please keep your kitty inside.

    And as the flutes play, we pan across the hills rolling in the distance, the rich green contrasting against the vivid azure blue sky with brilliantly white clouds puffy as cotton balls. And we know and feel that all is at peace in this world.

    It's a short film, but a good one.
