John Hodgeman having such a great take on how nostalgia is shitty and we should suppress it in ourselves and not feed it is just so weird coming from him.

Our children are getting absolutely sledged by shitposters from china.

Depriving my children of their early-career shitposting is a crime against humanity. How are they going to compete against the Koreans, or French when it comes to online sledging if they're not bathed in fire from an early age.

This is un-Australian and is part of the woke Albanese agenda.

And force them to moderate it properly.

And regulate genAI.

They have no intention of standing up to anyone.

Framing the teen social media ban as standing up to big tech to protect the children is such bullshit.
If they had any desire to stand up to big tech they’d tax it properly.

Absolutely stunning to see Australia's teen social media ban rushed through while every single government, educational institution and probably a huge number of parents are frantically force-injecting chatbot slop into the mind of every single child in the country without a second's hesitation

How News Corp drove Labor's rushed social media ban Was it about kids? Or was it about a scare campaign and a federal election?

The new social media ban for under-16s goes against the advice of experts, rights groups and kids themselves.

Its main backer? News Corp.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

McDonald's Pulls Down AI-Generated Holiday Ad After Deluge of Mockery McDonald's Netherlands is catching flak for a stupefying AI-generated video, which was roundly condemned on social media.

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

People hate AI slop!

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar

Marketing rarely wants their brand to be controversial like that. The saying that "all PR is good PR" is not something any serious marketer believes.

Keep bullying the brands promoting AI. They will stop.

Students, staff, faculty turning to ChatGPT? That means they are being asked to do things they don't have the time, resources, support, etc to do.

pointing out that LLMs make shit up makes the people who use them feel stupid, and some of them would prefer to be lied to by an app that tells them they’re smart

Mozilla's Betrayal of Open Source: Google's Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support MozillaMozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla | Youssuff Quips TL;DR: Mozilla’s translation bot on Support Mozilla (that is currently overwriting user contributions is based on the closed source, copyright infringing LLM, Google Gemini. This is in spite of Mozilla claiming that they are at the forefront of open source AI, and belies their exhortations to choose to build open source AI and data sets. Although Mozilla has experience in attracting open contributions for data sets in projects like Common Voice, Mozilla is using a closed data set to overwrite open contributions. Since (paid) Gemini queries do not train the model, Mozillians can expect to correct errors every time the bot automatically updates an article.

Mozilla is using Google's proprietary LLM Gemini to overwrite Volunteer translations. That's not only a great way to destroy goodwill but also to poison your community. What are you doing @mozilla.org and why is it always some "AI" shit?
