  1. "LLMs are the all-knowing all-powerful agents of the gods, and they do my bidding."

    "AI is pure evil as a concept; all its ilk and everything it touches have no right to exist."

    #Extremism has taken over the world, and both sides are just showing their ignorance/fear/hatred/desperation.

  2. If the limit of your experience/knowledge of #AI is ChatGPT and its ilk, you are not qualified to dictate #AIpolicy at any level to anyone.

  3. Technical requirements for #Malaysia websites and services (especially for government services):
    - AI chatbot
    - broken user account management/login
    - insane password requirements from the 1990's.
    - subcon and store everything in China
    - make it an app

    And the latest addition: BLOCKING password managers/generators to prevent secure industry-standard best practices.

  4. Got told again that my 30 years of computing and electronics experience is grossly incompetent compared to the infallible omniscience of #ChatGPT.

  5. Can all the #openclaw hustlers please fuck off and die? All my feeds are poisoned with this shite.

  6. @ilumium A reasonable #BuyEuropean mandate makes absolute sense. The FCC-example (for it‘s BuyAmerican counterpart) is NOT reasonable, it‘s what you get when you marry incompetence with ideology and corruption and label it as Divine Will.

    Just keep rightwing tech-illiterates out of the equation, and things could truly thrive.

  11. This can never be overstated: There is no intelligence in #AI

    It is not a person, is not conscious, has no mind nor morality.

    AI will destroy humanity, not because it is inherently evil or dangerous, but because humanity is stupid, selfish, and even more stupid.

  12. Put all the worst parts of AI into one package, and market it to Apple fans. Great success.

    How did Microsoft fail?

  13. 🤑 Teenagers' #freedom is apparently held hostage by their own #wealth, but first, let’s make sure you can enable #JavaScript and #cookies to read more about it. Because nothing screams "freedom" like being a tech-illiterate millionaire! 🍪💸

  14. I have clients who don't know what a "file" is, nevermind how to download them from a webpage.

    They are exclusively iPhone users.

    Pretending this issue doesn't exist is what makes it worse.

  15. I get 300-500mbps on my current #Digi mobile plan. They have been harassing me to "upgrade" to their new plan, which runs at "up to" 100mbps, for more money. With barefaced lies that my current plan is slow and outdated.

    Millions fall for this scam every year.

  16. For over a decade, #Samsung referred to storage space on their products as "ROM".

    Not only did they get away with it, much of the world considered them a leading authority in technology, and followed suit; paying Samsung billions of dollars along the way. While Samsung recently dropped the practice, the damage was already done.

  17. Looking at consumer electronics forums over the last few years, it seems most people have no clue how electricity works.

    Is this not taught in school anymore?

    #education #techilliteracy

  18. What do you do when you work in IT, in a country where #linux is "unthinkable"? Where everyone desperately clings to pirated software and #Win10EOL because trying anything else would amount to the collapse of civilization.

  19. Is this a #Malaysia thing, or are the biggest consumer electronics/smartphone brands in the world really so fucking stupid to keep referring to storage space as "ROM".

    I'm not about to spend thousands of $$ on brands that lack basic literacy of their own products.

  20. "Anything that's displayed on a screen must be in Microsoft Powerpoint format."

    "Anything printed must be in Adobe PDF or Illustrator format."

    Seems like I can't get past a single day without dealing with the righteous indignation of Malaysian #techilliteracy

  21. "I've never heard of anything other than #Microsoft and #Adobe therefore NO ONE is allowed to even talk about anything else!"
    - most businesses in #Malaysia

  22. @arstechnica I remember not too long ago when developing tech skills was a big thing for getting on the job market.
    Seems we don't do that any more.
    Instead, we now spend more and more resources catering for #techilliteracy the more we depend on technology.

  23. Making and posting GIFs in the 21st century is like buying a Mercedes, spending money and effort to tear it apart, then drag its carcass by mule on public roads, and acting like you're on the leading edge of transportation.

  24. I don't know how else to explain to people that replacing critical business functions with a coin-op fortune teller is not a good idea.

  25. @kkarhan
    The biggest recent loss is #techilliteracy at universities. Self-hosting may be out of reach to a large portion of households but if you go to univerisity today it’s a quite depressing sight.

    E.g. Do an MX lookup on mit.edu. The answer:

    mit-edu.mail.protection.outlook.com

    Indeed, #MIT where you expect to find the biggest brains and they’ve dumbed tech down to where they cannot even handle hosting their own email service.

    A university campus should be a highly capable self-serving village with minimal dependency on the outside world. Universities should be leaders, not followers. Students should have campus jobs to run in-house services and inherently learn from experience.

    If the university outsources everything and demonstrates dependency, of course it’s going to produce graduates who are dependent and incapable.

    IMO there needs to be a university comparison project that tests competency by measuring what they outsource both in terms of commercial closed-source software and services.

    Das Problem ist dass wir fast nur haben, weil kein ist!

    Und nein, die -Werbeveranstaltung namens zählt nicht!

    Das Problem ist dass wir fast nur #TechIlliteracy haben, weil #IT kein #Pflichtfach ist!

    Und nein, die #Microsoft-Werbeveranstaltung namens #ECDL zählt nicht!
