I love the notion that even Twitter users had too much empathy and the platform wasn't getting Nazified fast enough on it's own so they had to program a robot to go around and spread propaganda.

Oh yeah absolutely, but I also think the goal of the AI companies is not to actually create a functioning AI that could "do a job 20% as good as a human, but 90% cheaper", but to sell fancy software, whether it works or not, and leave the smaller companies holding the bag after they lay off their workforce.

Right? It actually makes me feel insane that the topic of "humans working less" is never in the selling points of these products.

Honestly I suspect that rather than some nefarious capitalist plot to enslave humanity, it is just more evidence that the software can't actually do what the people selling it to big corporations claim it can do.

This bit at the end, wow:

Gartner still expects that by 2028 about 15 percent of daily work decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents, up from 0 percent last year.

Agentic AI is wrong 70% of the time, but even assuming a human employee is barely correct most of the time and wrong 49% of the time, is it really still more efficient to replace them?

Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like "Torvalds Drops support After Clash!"

EDIT: New rule?

Jellyfin is great, but in defense of Plex, they announced that remote streaming would require one of the two parties to have a Plex pass was coming back in March so I don't know if it's fair to say they are holding anything hostage.

Tinder started as a "hook-up" app, if they went back to that kind of marketing I would not find the company quite so reprehensible.

I just watched this episode recently. If Klingons don't care why should humans?

Been watching DS9 Season two and have been very impressed with the quality. I remembered it being "pretty good" but in my memory it was "the season with "The Circle" trilogy, "Melora", "Rivals" and "The Maquis", episodes and story lines that never really did it for me. I think that made me forget how many really good one-off episodes were also here, to name a few:

  • "Necessary Evil"
  • "Rules of Acquisition"
  • "The Alternate"
  • "Armageddon Game"
  • "Whispers"
  • "Paradise"
  • "Shadowplay"

All bangers!

Also I love how this season ever so slowly drip-drops dominion references culminating with the season finale "The Jem Hadar"

I think it's interesting how "maximizing for engagement" inevitably leads to slop taking over everything. I wonder if real people (with real money) will continue to engage with the slop? Some people surely, but enough to sustain these mega-corps?
