"The search for AI is the search for a better slave."

Tech bros watch Blade Runner, and immediately set about trying to become the next Dr. Eldon Tyrell.
Here in one paper is the probable reason why Apple abruptly pulled out of OpenAI's current funding round a week ago, after previously being expected to buy at least a billion bucks of equity.
(AI is peripheral to Apple's business model and not tarnishing their brand in the long term is more important than jumping on a passing fad.)

Poseck erfüllt die Voraussetzungen für eine Duldung schon gar nicht. Ich denke, es ist an der Zeit, ihn an einer Autobahnraste seinem Schicksal zu überantworten.
@modulux Yeah, he did.
I was totally with him on dynamic typing when I went through my Lua phase in the mid to late 2000s; that happened to correspond with discovering his writing for the first time.
Hiya, another day, another #GoToSocial release candidate:
github.com/superseriousbusines…
We fixed a couple small bugs around interaction accepts and rejects :)
Please read the release notes carefully, especially if updating to this release candidate from v0.16.0 or below! There are migrations!
If you're using SQLite on OpenBSD or FreeBSD, please take the release version with moderncsqlite in the name, as described in the release notes.
Thanks for reading and helping us find bugs! We're getting there 🙂
Kritik an Israel - Amnesty: „Humanitäres Völkerrecht wird nicht eingehalten“
Amnesty International kritisiert eine „einseitige Parteinahme“ der Bundesregierung mit Israel und fordert auf, Waffenlieferungen zu stoppen.#GAZA #Libanon #AMNESTYINTERNATIONAL #ISRAEL
"In der aktuell erregt geführten Debatte über die gesellschaftliche Bedrohung durch Besteck redet niemand über Löffel. Es geht nur um die Messer. Da aber ist man quer durch die Parteien mit Verboten schnell bei der Hand. Kann sich jemand eine ähnliche Diskussion über die weitaus größere Gefahr auf Deutschlands Straßen vorstellen, über die Straftäter am Steuer? Sie scheint undenkbar. Und genau das ist das Problem."
I've started working on the site, using the "classless" version of this style sheet. github.com/picocss/pico/
I'm using the Hugo static site generator. I'll write more about it when I create a blog for longer-form posts.

Today, @james' @Podnews revealed that @AntennaPod the amazing open-source podcast player, just added transcript support! 🎉
"Version 3.5 of podcast app AntennaPod now displays Podcasting 2.0 transcripts, joining Pocket Casts and Apple Podcasts."
This is a game-changer for accessibility, SEO, discoverability, and the ability to quickly search within an episode.
Huge shout-out to the AntennaPod team, especially Tony Tam, for developing this awesome transcript feature! 🙌
🧵[…]
@projetslibres_podcast you are the ones who introduced me to Castopod but your podcast doesn't support transcripts?
Mit aller Brutalität
Autofahrer:innen stellen ein Viertel aller Verurteilten in Deutschland. Dennoch fehlt vielen von ihnen das Unrechtsbewusstsein, selbst nach fahrlässiger Tötung. Das Problem ist die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz
Lets Encrypt will disable OCSP about 6 months after Microsoft Root program allows it to (the browsers have already okayed it).
This all could be over in a year, year and a half. If you need OCSP for your business, you need to investigate alternatives NOW - which are all proprietary.
Apache ACME will handle this change just fine. Stapling will of course no longer be provided to clients.
Jo, když ono už to slovo NÁVOD z principu zní tak nějak jako PŘÍRUČKA PRO AMATÉRY 😂
Kdybych za ty roky spočítal, kolik času jsem mohl ušetřit přečtením si jedné věty v návodu, README.txt a podobně, asi bych se nenáviděl ještě o kousek víc.

Wait, what is this?
An HTML message with hardcoded white background and dark text that works perfectly out of the box in dark mode in Thunderbird without any add-on?
Yup!
Coming soon on Daily!
As someone who has to write emails that work in different clients: oh no 😅
Edit: which is not to say that I don't think users will appreciate it :)
A Friday news dump from yours truly: I called up Be My Eyes CEO Mike Buckley this morning to pick his brain about the recently-announced collab with Meta and the Ray-Ban smart glasses.
Amongst other things, Buckley said Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth was key to the whole thing.
Apple did the research; LLMs cannot do formal reasoning. Results change by as much as 10% if something as basic as the names change.

Delivering the final talk at the last ever XOXO was a huge responsibility, a tremendous honor, and an absolute joy.
I'm so stoked that now you can watch the video of me explaining why nothing lasts, and why this gives me hope we can create moments that'll help change the world and save each other.
So, the ham radio folks who have been telling me there will be no fallout from Israel using exploding (fake/counterfeit) Icoms
Flightaware: "Dubai's Emirates Airlines has banned passengers from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on its flights, following last month's attacks on Lebanese group Hezbollah involving communication devices that exploded."

in reply to Florian Idelberger • • •that may in part be a campaign to gather information on possible interaction workflows.
They‘re maybe also prototyping API designs for being able to pipe semantic information between different applications.

in reply to Sevoris • • •Sevoris
in reply to Florian Idelberger • • •that depends on how you think about the interaction workflows around people manipulating and moving information between applications.
I mean yes it‘s a poisoned data source, and it‘s definitely a compromise, but it‘s not like "I want this from my digital assistant" isn‘t data that can be used in some shape or form.

is 1000% valuable product-direction research data
Current systems are basically outsourcing to call-center style labeling factories — with a bit of ML laundering in between — & this fully pre-dates the LLM boom (Facebook M,? & when Siri was new)
Recent LLM innovation has let them do more of the ML laundering and time shifting by throwing compute at it
But they're still mostly emulating what a call-center drone can do

in reply to Jeremy Kahn • • •That "emulate form without doing actual reasoning" is so effective at charming the executive class into throwing money at it…
…is kinda damning of the executive class' own "genius" intellectual self-regard
They themselves have used prose-based discriminative pattern-matching (& privilege) to get where they are, not actual reasoning
"That guy fast-talks like he knows what he's talking about, put him in charge of a division" is no way to run a system of {governance}
