No, the strip clearly works on Back to the Future logic.

Dada as in Idi Amin Dada, I assume?

I mean, it fits, what with the human rights abuses and whatnot…

Extremely racist aliens, yes.

So, any already existing Tarantino film…?

🎈📌

it shouldn’t be that impactful negatively that AI is being used

Doesn’t it invalidate the GPL? Open source licenses depend on copyright, and LLM-generated code isn’t copyrightable.

(Also, it can’t be proven not to contain plagiarised proprietary code, in fact it’s quite likely that it does; between this, the testing / review burden, and the mental decay of developers that use LLMs instead of coding, this pretty much kills open source projects, in several different ways to make sure they stay dead…)

the suits at Sony

Would make a little more sense

See, that’s the problem right there.

Nothing corpo executives do makes sense to rational human beings unless you’re only considering the next quarter, but Sony executives don’t even make sense in that particular case.

They just seem to be trying to bring down the company by making the worst possible decision at any point in time.

.world is doing its best to replicate every bad thing about reddit (starting with powermods) while avoiding every positive aspect it might have once had. I’m sure its admins have constant wet dreams about the day they can go public and sell it for parts.

.ml is trying to pretend it’s not lemmygrad by putting on glasses with a fake nose and a moustache.

Both are toxic and harmful to the fediverse.

Similar things can be said of most other “big” instances to a lesser extent (including the one I’m in, but I’m too lazy to move out for a third time).

Frankly, the only instance I’d trust to not be politically compromised is fedinsfw, and I already got bit once by lemmynsfw’s incompetent management (when they lost control of it to a rogue admin and it closed for months), so I’m not going back there.

Next time I have to move I’ll be rolling my own private instance, or quitting altogether.

If Asterix taught me anything, birds flying low meant rain was coming.

Well, it seems like she won’t be dealing with the media at all, given that she appears to have been fired already…

As much as I hate the ongoing “AI” scam, and as many hours as I’ve wasted on Bethesda’s games (or on modding them), in Bethesda’s case (especially modern Bethesda) I actually believe the slop machine might actually be an improvement.

At least the code for the unofficial patches will be in its training set, which is a start…

Not really… “AI journalist” might refer to a plain old astroturfing spambot, or to one piloting a reverse centaur, but it’s still the same old spambot when it comes to it, and it’ll still be spewing the same worthless slop, so the distinction is mostly moot, merely making the latter option a bit more tragic.

Username checks out, I guess, though I’m not sure how you’re typing this or how you paid for the couch.

Fenton!

Basically most of this.

As the article states, they’re an extremely malicious solution to a problem that has better, simpler, and easier to understand solutions.

It’s also a very good solution to the “problem” of users being able to do things our corporate overlords don’t want us to do.

In short, they’re even worse malware than the ones they’re sold as protecting us from.

Enshittification manifest.

I think it’s reached the point in the USA where it’s most definitely cruel (which as always with conservatives, is the whole point), but can’t really be called unusual given that it’s become the norm in that miserable shithole.

‘Time for Trump to publicly blow up in a shower of shit and giblets in a festive manner,’ says I for the nth time after reading the latest turd to come out of his mouthhole.

Look at it from Trump’s perspective, though. Even a simple markov chain like eliza is super intelligence compared to what’s going on in his brain…

(No, but seriously, this whole SI thing is really just a scam by his handlers to resell Slovenian domains at an inflated price.)
