guten morgen! Bin gestern durch einen Bericht des #swraktuell über die #schwarzgruppe #lidl #kaufland mit #schwarzdigita gestolpert.
Grundlegend finde ich die Ansätze der Firma toll , #digitalesouveranitaet ist wichtig #europäische Lösungen auch.
Aber ich hab das Gefühl das hier ein Europäischer #bigtech Konzern kommen wird.
wie seht ihr das so?

I just watched a robotics tech exec refer to their product as a "member of the workforce". I'm not anti-tech or anti-robotics but, seriously? It's no more a member of the workforce than an air wrench or circular saw. It may be humanoid in shape but it's still just a tool.
Seriously folks, don't anthropomorphize the tech. LLMs are not intelligent. Humanoid robots are not members of the workforce. They are all just tools.

Monday: OpenAI apologizes to Australia after its agents got into government health systems, and pauses tool-use training.
Tuesday: launches always-on agents with their own computers and cuddly avatars. The IPO? Too unsafe for Wall Street. $30B privately? Fine.
I cannot make this up.

#Anthropic lied again! Their "#AI is going to kill us all" whistleblower was a coordinated psyop with PR firm behind it.
I love locally run LLMs and find them quite useful (none of them comes from #OpenAI or Anthropic). So tired of these fuckers lying and dumb #media repeating every word they say.

#Palantir topchef har opkøbt et område, der svarer til 21.000 fodboldbaner. Nu står beboerne og de lokale myndigheder tilbage med frygt for fremtiden

Lately I’ve really been considering moving from macOS to Linux. But y’all may not know how scary and chaotic that is. I assume I’m not alone.
Anyone have good stories making this transition?
I’ve been designing and coding for 30 years. THREE fucking decades. On Apple computers that entire time. And I have my family set-up on them. We share apps and stuff.
Moving to Linux would be a wild ride. Even though it’s the one place in my life where I’m contributing to big tech. It feels like the last holdout.
For an ADHD person like me, this is filling me with blend of excitement and anxiety.
I’m loving Linux on my old MacBook. But I might want some new hardware. Like a laptop from @frameworkcomputer. Their hardware is primo.
I’d love any/all advice, stories, etc.

I’m sorry but this article is just an inchoate mix of half-baked ideas being thrown against the wall to see if any of them sticks. I’m totally sympathetic with his main thesis but the author seems to lack any deep knowledge of a series of topics that are essencial to this discussion. Maybe what we are seeing here is just another reincarnation of… AI slop?
“The popularity of stigmatizing individual AI usage has been a gift to the industry, fracturing would-be opponents and activating our identities as consumers. BP had to pay an ad agency to popularize the “carbon footprint” to shift the blame for climate change to individuals. When we think as consumers, the goal becomes minimizing our own complicity. We should instead think as citizens: how do we democratically govern this technology in the public interest?
Right now, AI is being governed by unelected, unaccountable tech billionaires, subject to intense pressures from shareholders and the Trump administration. To have any hope of changing this intolerable status quo, we’ll need to build a movement powerful enough to defeat the richest industry in history.”

This is absolutely right. Anything less than this approach is substandard:
“It is possible to build human-centric, empowering tools and platforms that are owned by the people instead of by billionaire tycoons, that are responsible about the environment and with people’s data and privacy, that are accountable to the communities that they serve. If we engaged every person who made some AI slop and said, “would you rather have tools that help you make something amazing, and brought you into a community of creators?” I don’t think anybody would say no.
And truthfully, I think two big reasons why critics don’t use that framing instead are due to laziness and arrogance. It takes a lot more time and effort to engage with people over time and to bring them into community. It’s a lot easier to dunk on them, and then return to one’s existing community of peers who will praise you for saying how ugly that person’s slop was. But that won’t stop the Big AI companies.
We need a new theory of change if we care more about stopping the harms of Big AI than we care about feeling righteous. The good news is that it already exists, in pieces: there are tactics for winning the platform war, there are direct actions that ordinary people have already used successfully, and there are alternatives being built right now that are worth pointing people toward. What’s missing isn’t the alternative. It’s our willingness to offer it to people instead of just yelling at them.”
