#Anthropic’s new #watermark system for #Claude models uses #semanticwatermarking. This method, while not altering the meaning or readability of the text, is seen as a #compromise on quality for the sake of compliance with EU regulations. This approach is #unnecessary and potentially #detrimental to honest users, as dishonest users will likely find ways to circumvent the watermark. https://daringfireball.net/2026/08/anthropics_watermark_text_adulteration_in_claude_is_a_perversion_of_writing ?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

Oh, look! Another brave soul deciding #the best way to learn #Rust is by #reinventing the #wheel 🛞 by making yet another #Markdown to #HTML #compiler. Because, of course, we all needed more basic compilers, and who doesn't love watching someone spend 13 hours rediscovering the joys of parsing strings? 😂 Bravo, Andrea. You've truly outdone yourself in the realm of #unnecessary #projects. 👏

Oh, look! Yet another "groundbreaking" tool from #Vercel that nobody asked for—now you can finally compile #TypeScript into #native #code without the pesky JavaScript engine. 🚀✨ Because what developers really need is one more #unnecessary #complication in their workflow. 🙄

🚀 Oh joy, yet another #Lua #runtime that no one asked for, this time written in #Zig because why not reinvent #the #wheel with extra steps? 🤦♂️ Just paste this command into your terminal and prepare to be dazzled by the pinnacle of #unnecessary complexity! 📜🔄

“#Necessary is the crucial word.The whole architecture of #workersrights rests on the fact that #capital could not do without #labor, and so labor could make demands.
The bargaining position has been eroding for decades…
But #AI represents something categorically different…It’s not relocating the work to cheaper hands. It’s making the hands #unnecessary. And once you no longer need workers, the entire basis on which working people could demand anything simply dissolves.”

Got my tax refund back. Have to pay a little to az state tax, but the IRS refund is like 8 times that amount. Goes into my save fund for an M5 Ultra Studio when they come out. I'm assuming that will be about $10k or more.
The me of yore would have laughed until my lungs prolapsed at a purchase like that.

🚀 Ohm's #PEG-to-WASM Compiler: because everyone needs a #parsing #tool that's 50x #faster to parse things nobody asked for! 😂 Forget about improving your life—just make #parsing 0.02 seconds quicker. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's an #unnecessary #compiler update! 🙄

Spannend ist ja schon, dass die meisten Apps, die Google Play Services verlangen, auch problemlos ohne Google Play Services funktionieren.
Weshalb zum Henker "benötigen" sie denn Google Play Services? Der Funktionalität wegen sicher nicht.
Kommt hinzu, dass viele Apps, die Netzwerk "benötigen", auch tiptop funktionieren ohne diese Berechtigung.

🤦♂️ Oh look, another overzealous attempt at #virtue-signaling through font design, because clearly, every Indigenous community was just waiting for their own Jekyll template. 🤷♀️ Let's not forget the riveting saga of font decisions that absolutely no one asked for. 📚✨

From my recent unexpected trip.
If a superfluous label for an unnecessary switch is ignored, does a tree fall in the forest and hit a mime?

This isn't a perfect example, but back in 2008 the series "Life After People" had both UK and US narration for the same show, which gives an interesting example of how different a tone can be set just by the soundtrack - Here's the first minute in each language of S02E07.https://soundcloud.com/spodlet/us-versus-uk-narration-in-life-after-people-2008

I was talking to somebody a few days ago about how "The Curse of Oak Island" would be an entirely different show in the UK - Each season would be cut down to 2 or 3 episodes, there would be much more emphasis on the archaeology and the technology, and the narration wouldn't be anything like as dramatic and irritating.#UkTV #TV #Movies #OakIsland #Unnecessary #Drama #Archaeology #Audio #Environment #LifeAfterPeople

Harris Visits MAGA Areas of Pennsylvania, to Cut Into Trump’s Edge
The vice president, who appeared in #Johnstown and #Wilkes-#Barre, said she would
❇️ #remove “#unnecessary degree #requirements” for some federal jobs,a pitch to Mr. Trump’s base of voters without a college education in a part of the state where he expects to perform well.
Ms. Harris also emphasized her work in California
❇️ #prosecuting Mexican #drug #cartels,
and said as president she would continue to go after them “for pushing poisons like fentanyl on our children.”The vice president’s Trump-country pitch amounted to a continuation of her appeal to moderate and right-leaning voters that began at the Democratic National Convention last month
and continued during Tuesday’s debate with the former president. -
One little delight about #mastodon is when the translation bot suggests translations for stuff that is already in my language. Someday they'll make the bot so sophisticated it no longer does this, and I will be sad.

@gerrymcgovern While I appreciate the concerns with regards to energy use & I personally feel that #AI is a serious #existentialThreat to #humanity..
I do wonder why some people feel the need to #insult others like "fuck tech bros" etc. Seems #unnecessary.
In the end most, if not all, #energy slurping services keep existing because of users. Including "social media" like X, Face**, etc and yes even #Mastodon & the #Fediverse with its glorious cat pics..
So I applaud efforts to reduce usage. ❤️
