  • Well bcachefs is kill. Enjoy AI support and all userspace code generated by a slot machine. Kent also does that weird anthropomorphising of his LLM by giving it a blog.

  • A well cut suite is really comfortable. I think many complaints about uncomfortable suits are from people who only know cheap plastic suites.

  • Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'

    Jump

  • That's a shame. Did they take the wasted developer time dealing with slop into account in that discussion?

    Jump

  • Codeberg is cool but I would prefer not having all FOSS project centralised on another platform. In my opinion projects of the size of Godot should consider using their own infrastructure.

  • I think moving off of GitHub to their own forge would be a good first step to reduce this spam.

  • Marco Rubio urges Europe to resuscitate Western colonialism in bizarre speech

  • OK boys and girls who is acquiring the opiates and who is volunteering to ship the smallpox blankets? Its time to bring the US back under the colonial heel where they belong.

  • GitHub - hetznercloud/awesome-hcloud: A curated list of awesome libraries, tools, and integrations for Hetzner Cloud

    Jump

  • They might not be a bank but there is a risk to the company if you, for example, start spreading malware or spam using their infrastructure. I assume that is the main reason why they want to properly verify your identity which in my opinion is fair enough. Anyway, other providers are available and I think the Fediverse and self-hosting in general are already too reliant on Hetzner alone.

    This is why you got flagged:

The result of this preliminary check may influence whether we enter into a contractual relationship with you. During the assessment, the data you provide as well as technical characteristics are processed. This data is compared with our previous experience and evaluated with the help of an external service provider for risk analysis.

    And this is how they minimize risk of leaking your PII:

  • BYD outsells Tesla 10-to-1 in Australia as Chinese EVs dominate January sales

    Jump

  • Probably because in 2011 Musk laughed at them and now they are outselling Tesla. There is also the general unease of China rapidly breaking into markets that where previously dominated by western countries.

  • Poisoning Text

    Jump

  • That's a fun idea but AI companies would probably just screenshot the website and OCR the text if this became common. It's also really inconvenient for the users as it breaks both copy pasting and Ctrl+F searching.

  • Poisoning Text

    Jump

  • You can target the crawlers using tar pits and proof-of-work application firewalls but I am doubtful that poisoning does anything. The second a poisoning method becomes common enough to have an effect the AI companies will just start filtering for that. Unfortunately the only way I see that prevents your work from being stolen is to either not publish it at all, or to only publish to smaller invite based communities that closely monitor who is accepted.

  • Brilliant, innit?

    Jump

  • Oh look another shithead trying to pin me down by arguing semantics using the old "What even is AI" trick. Fuck you! I don't care about shitty machine learning models from the 90s. I care about unethical companies stealing artists work and reselling it while causing ungodly amounts of pollution. Maybe I should just start banning everyone of you oh so reasonable shitheads. This is FuckAI not lets have a discussion and really get into the details what AI even is.

  • Brilliant, innit?

    Jump

  • Any usage of AI is being complicit with the larger AI project of these billion dollar companies as it further legitimizes their use. So yes fuck this business person in particular, I hope the customer sues and he goes bankrupt. This is a literal leopardsatemyface moment, everything about this is completely self inflicted. Maybe this wouldn't have happened if they used their brain and considered not using a lying machine as a replacement for their customer support.
