LLMs are not advancing enough any more. There just isn’t any more useful human generated text to train new models on. The net is already full of AI generated slop. OpenAI currently spends 2.35 USD to make 1 USD. It’s fundamentally unsustainable.

What enshittification? I haven’t noticed any dark patterns in the Bluesky app.

I’d gladly pay a subscription for a useable service than have ads plastered all over it. It’s infinitely better than the shitshow that is X.

Yeah, holy shit, like pretending Google are any better.

XRP at least has instant feeless payments. No consumer protection though. Some banks use it for intra-bank transfers.

 

“Whether a proof of concept or not, Bootkitty marks an interesting move forward in the UEFI threat landscape, breaking the belief about modern UEFI bootkits being Windows-exclusive threats,” ESET researchers wrote. “Even though the current version from VirusTotal does not, at the moment, represent a real threat to the majority of Linux systems, it emphasizes the necessity of being prepared for potential future threats.”

Seriously though, I never got near those numbers. I did put about 2500 hours into TFC and TF2 before it became a bot hellscape.

Just yesterday I banned Facebook’s user agent that is supposedly only used to generate link previews. It was being extremely aggressive, making 20 requests per second. At the time I thought “I bet they’re actually building their own search index”, and here we are.

I haven’t read wired in a few years, and it looks like I haven’t missed anything.

It’s not fine. They are not archiving the internet.

I had to ban their user agent after very aggressive scraping that would have taken down our servers. Fuck this shitty behaviour.

The charges this guy is facing are insane.

Commodore’s management were way too incompetent for the Amiga to survive, unfortunately.
