@Hi_Kitsune The UI/UX of social media in general leaves a lot to be desired, and it is difficult to understate the potential for addiction to the "attention economy" even on freedom-respecting #fediverse communities. There are psychological and societal issues at play across social media, including profile stalking, encouragement to post "thirst traps" or "rage bait", as well as "slot machine" timelines that facilitate mindless "doomscrolling"... to name a few issues that go beyond #tech stack.

HOW AI IS USED TO INFLUENCE GLOBAL ELECTIONS.
"Political campaigns invest large sums of money to reach potential voters. so much so that there is an entire industry to help them identify and target specific groups. In fact, there are over 500 documented companies that work in the field of technology-driven political persuasion. This means thev sell their services to politicians and political campaigns, claiming they car help influence your opinions - and your vote."
Lifestyle influencers aren’t the only ones shaping your life ➡️ AI is now influencing your vote. 🚨
From Trump retweeting a deepfake Taylor Swift endorsement to Indonesian politicians using AI avatars, generative AI is reshaping elections.

What appears as critique – yearning for smaller, weirder, more human spaces – often functions as brand repair. Netstalgia becomes a strategy: it restores trust without redistributing power, softens anger without changing infrastructures and reframes structural problems as matters of vibe, design or community feeling."Am I working on change, or am I working on brand repair?" is an important question to ask oneself regularly, it seems to me. It's especially relevant for the tech sector, open source, and computer science.

LLMs have no concept of "true" or "good." But they are trained to signal high-quality work. Meanwhile, bosses are pressuring workers: go faster, produce more, let the AI cook.
Study after study documents what this does to the human brain: cognitive surrender. We're "in the loop" but the bot calls the shots.

This is cool, just discovered that an AM radio can be used as a Flipper Zero speaker, as long as the speaker is playing something even at a low volume. (Surprisingly, lower it is, the more clear the sound becomes.)
Here I’ve used some test videos to showcase this finding. The classic Bad Apple, the Doohickey Corporation video and an edited version of the Albuquerque animation.
Using the FZ as a proper music player is possible!

I really want to know what the c-suite folks in the software and tech industries are planning to do when their engineers have relied on LLMs for so long they can no longer support their systems without out them, and the LLM providers jack up their costs 20x or more to get their ROI on all the datacenters

There are valid reasons why AI companies and tech bros are not welcome here, as well as people who are defending them or trying to rationalize the use of bourgeois technology that is unethical, causing the rapid issues of AI vandals running rampant, AI bots that scraps data to be trained without permission, use of AI by companies to do mass layoff and therefore the higher count of unemployment, AI "artist" that clutter streaming platforms, and more problems.

1. I'd like Mastodon to be MORE inclusive and bring in more voices
2. Some people don't seem to want that
3. This is core problem to solve: How do we let more in, but not "pollute" your feed?
4. The solution is NOT "gatekeeping", revelling in the fact that AI journalists aren't welcome
5. This is the same reason we lost "Black Twitter" when it came over in 2022Yes, a lot of you don't want AI posts in your feed (or pick any other topic) but the solution isn't to keep "AI People" from joining Mastodon, any more than it is keeping marginalized communities off of Mastodon.

The accusation is much scarier as it taps into corporate espionage and mass surveillance.
Microsoft is accused of illegally searching browser extension whenever a user sign in into LinkedIn. It scans for any signs of use of religious belief, political orientation, as well as disabilities of individuals. There is also the accusation of the data being handed over to Israeli spyware firm.
"This is illegal and potentially a criminal offense in every jurisdiction we have examined."

PH4NTXM — Published Material
We’ve started publishing material from the system, including:
– screenshots of core functionality
– network fingerprinting validation (p0f)
– browser fingerprint leak checks (browserleaks)
No claims — just observable output.
You can find everything here:
https://github.com/PH4NTXMOFFICIAL/PH4NTXM/tree/main/docs/images
This is where we’ll keep uploading:
• system behavior in real conditions
• identity variance across sessions
• fingerprint drift evidence
• additional proof as the project evolves
If you're into OPSEC, anti-fingerprinting, or adversarial environments, take a look.
More coming...

Here's something really useful I've found.
One of the great things about the Fediverse is being able to follow hashtags.
But.
If someone puts up a post using that hashtag, and no-one on your instance follows that person or anyone who shares it, it won't appear in your feed.
This is particularly common if you're on a small or single-user instance.
Here's the solution.
First, follow @_followback
It will follow you back.
And then tags.pub bot then reshare all of your posts that use hashtags.
So if you do a post with the hashtag #Fediverse, then @fediverse will share your post.
Here's where the magic happens.
The tags.pub bot will do the same thing to everyone else who follows that followback account.
So if you follow @fediverse, then you'll get a feed of everyone who uses #Fediverse on the Fediverse.
And you'll see their posts even if no-one on your instance follows them.
And it works for all hashtags.
Just put the name of the hashtag, followed by @tags.pub
So @tech follows all posts using #tech, for example.
Or @news follows all posts using #news

I’ve made this point before about how inane AI hype is now, but a computer beat the best chess player in the world in 1997. No one pretended, after 1997, it wasn’t worthwhile to have humans compete in chess. In fact, the world of chess developed strict protocols around computer use and you can get banned from tournaments if you use a computer program as you play. You are certainly shamed and mocked.#AI #GenAI #GenerativeAI #AIHype #LLMs #writing #tech #dev #coding #SoftwareDevelopment #SoftwareEngneering #softwareAI and writing needs to be treated the same way. I do think people should be shamed for using AI to help them write creatively. It’s an embarrassment, and a form of cheating.

I start my modern car (2023) that's been sitting for about ten days. The very first thing it does is demand a software update, which fails because the battery is "too low". After driving it to charge, it finally starts the update (locking me out of the car for 30 minutes, completely unusable). Once it's done, the dashboard becomes "more modern" - which basically means it's worse and cluttered with useless information.
Then, I start the old car (2007) that's been parked for MONTHS. It spits out some smelly exhaust, makes a weird noise for a few seconds, and goes: "Let's go, I need to stretch my 'legs'."
I take it to the car wash. A guy there with a brand-new Chinese car takes a look and asks me about it. I tell him it's from 2007.
He peers inside the cabin and asks about the "infotainment" setup, since he "can't see the screen".
I calmly explain that it has a CD player, it even reads MP3s, and it has an Aux-in: I just plug my phone in with a cable and that's it.
He looked at me like I was an alien. Or an ancient Roman. How on earth do I survive without a screen always available, and having to actually plug in a physical cable every time? Crazy!

#China demonstrates leadership in both #business #tech and #AI by offering subsidized access to computing. This means small firms in China have both national and international advantages. As AI rises the sustainable issue is access to enough computing for affordable price. To do that you need affordable land and electricity, which China has.
#investing in Chinese #tech and AI is looking like a smarter play each day.

Was ich aus Freundes-, Bekannten- und Unternehmenskreisen höre, macht mich nachdenklich - eigentlich fassungslos: Fast überall wird mittlerweile nur noch mit KI »programmiert« – der Code wird kurz von jemandem überflogen, der früher mal selbst entwickelt hat. Wenn sich das so fortsetzt, wird in ein paar Jahren kaum noch jemand wirklich programmieren können. Fehler verstehen, debuggen und Softwarearchitektur? Wird nur noch eine handvoll können. Auweia. 🙄
