ArXiv is going to ban researchers for a year if they are caught submitting AI slop. ArXiv told us it's a one strike rule: do it once, you're out.

@laprice do let me know if you find something! I've only seen devdocs.io/ which still scrapes MDN IIRC

@laprice Mind elaborating on why you're avoiding using MDN? It's still my go to.

I would like to have a new electric car but the whole data collection part is the main thing keeping me away from it.

So I liked this article quite a lot. Forgot where I found it, likely here somewhere on the fediverse...

Without control of your food, you have no leverage. Period.

You can't strike if you can't feed your family.

You can't protest if you're spending all your waking hours finding enough to eat.

You can't build an alternative economy if you're dependent on the existing one for the most basic requirement of biological existence.

Low key might be following the three laws of robotics over here (other than following orders 😎👉👉)

It's pretty scifi that I can see a concert for a world renowned digital pop star. We're honestly close enough to making her "self aware" enough to play back the events of William Gibson's Idoru.

Getting around events with a wheelchair is either lovely or utter hell. No in between. 😅

Instead of fighting 7 evil exes, you have to befriend 7 loving metamours.

"Umm actually, 120 IQ users would find that too complicated to use, so it's anti-inductive" 🧐☝️

Looks like Chromebook is being replaced with something called "Googlebook" and it is full-scale Microsoft-style Surveillance PC. Apparently anytime you "wiggle your cursor" anything that is underneath the cursor gets fed into Google's surveillance AI blog.google/products-and-platf

One of these things that makes me consider detecting the platform from my webserver and blocking it entirely because the probability of whatever I wrote becoming an LLM input is too high

This Tuesday is a Friday cause I have the rest of the week off. 😎😎😎😎

@da_667 I have a hard time imagining AI maxis being like "Oh wow I really want to go all in on GitLab now" after this announcement. GitHub and a plethora of agentic first corpos are going to eat them up while they spin their wheels trying to catch up as the bubble bursts around them.

I swear code would be easier to navigate as a 4d graph of some sort. (or 3.5d?)

I don't really drink alcohol anymore so when I go clubbing I order water bottles to stay hydrated. For some reason it's a 50/50 split on whether the bartender will actually charge me for it and the inconsistency is painful to navigate. 🤪

Redditors have caught Google secretly updating its Chrome terms of service to remove a line that guaranteed that local AI models won't send data to Google servers.

That's now gone, meaning your local AI sends data to Google, so it's not that local.

Comminity is when one person assembles the mesh node hardware, another 3d prints a mount, and a third gives it a high enough mounting point to cover a region

Once again I prove to myself I am smarter than an LLM. 🤷 I kinda wish they were smarter so I wouldn't need to be. 🤪
