"Furious AI Users Say Their Prompts Are Being Plagiarized."

Even if we set aside that this is a complaint about plagiarizing the use of a technology that is LITERALLY MADE OF PLAGIARISM, consider:

Say I write up how I made a cool piece of art in some app; if you follow the same steps, do I somehow own your output? And hell, that's not even what this is—it's more like someone posted their Google search terms or sandwich order, and are now mad others are using them.

Furious AI Users Say Their Prompts Are Being Plagiarized

A self-described AI ambassador is in shambles after she says other AI prompters have been plagiarizing her instructions.

Consider Amira Zairi, a self-professed “AI educator” and “ambassador” for Adobe, LeonardoAI, and TripoAI, who posted a scathing rant this week on X-formerly-Twitter to her 49,000 followers. Her complaint? Other people were “plagiarizing” her unique AI prompts.

#РоиссяВперде

В Петербурге рабочие из Индии столкнулись с суровой реальностью — снегом и бытом по-русски.

Многие из них приехали из регионов, где никогда не видели снега, поэтому не понимают, как его убирать. Параллельно всплыли и другие сложности: они не знают как переключать воду в душе, почему нельзя ставить металл в микроволновку и как вообще жить в общежитии зимой.

Эксперты предлагают делать простые инструкции на хинди — иначе повышен риск потопов и пожаров. В Россию уже приехали более 70 тысяч работников, а в 2026 году ждут ещё минимум 40 тысяч.

Don't use rc.local. It has been obsolete since 1983. #FreeBSD has actually discontinued it twice in its history.

FreeBSD has had Mewburn rc for most of this century. It's what #NetBSD uses and #OpenBSD has a similar but NIH system. At minimum, use Mewburn rc scripts.

jdebp.info/FGA/rc.local-is-his…

The rc(8) manual page has an example script. There's tutorial doco as well.

If you look around you should still be able to find Luke Mewburn's paper on #MewburnRC .

Similarly, what Linux people erroneously call "sysvinit" is actually van Smoorenburg init+rc created (by Miquel van Smoorenburg) for Minix in 1992.

It's not from #Unix System 5 at all, as that had obsoleted R3's init+rc system years before 1992 and gone on to the AIX SRC, and the SAF, SAC, ttymon, SMF, and stuff still in #Illumos today.

RE: mastodon.world/@somecanuckchic…

The worst part is that Frankie Legs is staying on until a successor is found...

We have a Deputy Premiere, right? Pass it over to Geneviève Guilbault and let her shit the bed until a successor is chosen.

Frankie Legs talking about how he'd taken the last month to think about the future of the CAQ and his role in the CAQ... I saw him at a Habs game in Montréal...

Autsch:

Nach dem umstrittenen Ausschluss der Fans des israelischen Fußballvereins Maccabi Tel Aviv von einem „Europa League“-Spiel gegen Aston Villa in England hat der zuständige Polizeichef jetzt eingeräumt, dass die Entscheidung maßgeblich von einer KI-Halluzination beeinflusst worden war. Demnach hatte eine mithilfe von Microsofts Copilot erstellte Risikoanalyse der Polizei für den Stadtrat von Birmingham auf ein vorheriges Match von Maccabi bei West Ham United Bezug genommen, das es nie gegeben hat.

Der Ausschluss israelischer Fans von einem Fußballspiel in England hat sich zu einem Skandal ausgeweitet: Die Risikoanalyse enthielt eine KI-Halluzination.

A resignation should not take 20 minutes... What was François Legault permitted to go on and on about his misogyny, xenophobia, anti-science, language weaponization, overseeing the largest exodus of doctors and nurses in the history of Québec, etc.

Hi everyone! as mentioned in the first TWBlue release of the year, a dedicated account migration was pending. I’ve decided to go a step further and unify all my development projects under one professional roof.
Instead of separate accounts, MCV Software will be the hub for everything: TWBlue, (future) Audio Games, and my other upcoming tools.

После отключения интернета в Иране «замолчали» аккаунты, призывавшие к независимости Шотландии, пишет UK Defence Journal. По данным издания, многочисленные учетные записи в интернете, якобы принадлежащие шотландским пользователям, призывавшим к независимости страны от Великобритании, прекратили свою активность сразу после отключения интернета в Иране 8 января.

BT OS, version 2.8 is rolling out at 1:30 PM Eastern time today. We've been hard at work making BT OS better. This includes bug fixes and performance enhancements. For further information, ... wait what? How do we get further information! Oh no! I... don't know if anyone thought that far! And the rollout's happening anyway! Whoops, I guess we'll have to see what happens!

As if we needed more reminders how dangerous relying on unchecked AI content is:

"In preparation for the force response to the HMICFRS inquiry into this matter, on Friday afternoon I became aware that the erroneous result concerning the West Ham v Maccabi Tel Aviv [UK football] match arose as result of a use of Microsoft Co Pilot."

An intelligence report referred to a football game that never happened - Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will make a statement later today.
