i cannot stress how relieving it is to see the president of a major creative tech company like nintendo voice concerns about generative ai and say they’re not interested www.tweaktown.com/news/99109/n...

Nintendo won't use generative AI in its first-party gameswww.tweaktown.com Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has revealed that the company currently has no plans to use generative AI in its games due to IP rights concerns.

Being annoying as praxis is only the first step. The second step is to gather likeminded neighbors and friends and ask each other how you can maximize your joint annoyingness. Congrats: this is called organizing, you’re building a base of your common man united on a common cause.

Hmmm maybe they should stop working on it or something

“Generative AI could ‘distort collective understanding of socio-political reality or scientific consensus,’ and in many cases is already doing that,’” according to a new research paper from Google’s own DeepMind lab.

Google Says AI Could Break Realitywww.404media.co “While these uses of GenAI are often neither overtly malicious nor explicitly violate these tools’ content policies or terms of services, their potential for harm is significant.”

something that isn't as common knowledge as I thought: The US arms industry is specifically designed as a system of control and entanglement, a working example of the liberal idea that countries will not go to war with their trade partners. NATO standard is is a market system.

So, Amazon’s ‘AI-powered’ cashier-free shops use a lot of … humans. Here’s why that shouldn’t surprise you | James Bridlewww.theguardian.com This is how these bosses get rich: by hiding underpaid, unrecognised human work behind the trappings of technology, says the writer and artist James Bridle

um ok well you start with cooking sautéing shallots, garlic, adding cherry tomatoes, some sundried tomatoes, oregano, crushed red pepper, tomato paste, salt, freshly cracked black pepper. Add some of the pasta water, cream, finish the noodles in the sauce.

The story is always the same: major tech companies tell us they care about the environment to silence criticism, then never actually follow through. Google’s emissions are up ~50% in 5 years, following similar news Microsoft is also blowing past its climate commitments.

For Disability Pride Month I’m once again begging for more artists to start considering accessibility and add alt text to your images. It helps low/no vision folks, neurodivergent folks, and more. Plus alt text shows up in searches! There’s a toggle in settings so you won’t forget. 👇

Until quite recently, my phone would tell me to take a "side street" off the FDR parkway on Manhattan's East Side, to get to the Holland Tunnel. The "side street" was a fish market lane some 50 below the elevated parkway. If a phone can't get it right, I'll never trust one of Elmo's death mobiles.

You are trusting your life to a system that thinks "well, two lines roughly that distance apart on what is not explicitly not driveable space is probabilistically a lane, so let's just lock onto that and see where it takes us" and yeah sometimes those two lines are fucking railroad tracks.
