After Microsoft laid off 9000 employees, Xbox producer Matt Turnbull suggested affected workers use AI to “reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss”

Just slowly finished @pluralistic’s Enshittification while moving into new apartment, switching to Mastodon, and replacing big tech one tiny app at a time. Enjoyed the book immensely. Am now fully radicalized. Smash the technopoly. Take me to your FOSS.

DuckDuckGo is experiencing an “outage” and searches are not rendered; YET, somehow if i turned on "AI Features", it might.
more like FuckFuckNO, amirite?
This is something discussions on #Spotify tend to miss: most alternatives are corporate services that are not immune to #enshittification
@mirlo thinks #federation is the answer:
“We’re trying to federate #music marketplaces and music distribution platforms (..) if the instance that hosts your music starts to do things you don’t like, you should be able to transfer your data, and not lose anything”

This is an excellent video. This is the message. Perhaps we need to refine it more. Find ways to communicate it more clearly. But this is the correct take on LLMs, so-called-AI and the proliferation of these tools to the general public. #LLM #llms #ai #genAI #video #slop #slopocalypse #enshittification

There's some really gross hypocricy on Fedi regarding AI by computer scientists/ tech enthusiasts who are vocally critical of some aspects of generative AI for appearances, but who are actively benefiting from the AI bubble professionally, and talking out of both sides of their mouth.
There is also some gross classism in the decrying of people's intelligence who are using it to take shortcuts (as if they are the problem, not the wealth-class or hypercompetitive neo-liberalism).
I think we are making a mistake listening to half-assed criticisms from uncredible sources while focusing on the users of generative AI, instead of directing our ire at the tech industry itself.
There is a complete lack of accountability from the tech world to begin with about all the decisions that led us to the AI bubble.
It is just one of a long string of disastrous failures (#enshittification) and framing it as an AI-only issue, or an issue of degrees ("I know how to use it ethically!"), evades responsibility for the decades long growth of tech-surveillance capitalism.
AI is the logical endpoint of early 21st century tech, and criticisms of it need to be grounded in criticisms of the tech industry in general. #AI #Tech
🔥 Bonfire now supports post imports when migrating instances
You can bring your posts (+ optionally replies) with you when moving to a Bonfire instance from another instance or platform. Imported posts keep their original dates and URIs. Threads are preserved, as are like/boost counts. It works by "boosting" all your old posts (without flooding others' feeds with old activities).
Demo: https://www.tella.tv/video/cmg57she8000b0bju3osx89uy/embed?b=0&title=0&a=1&loop=0&t=0&muted=0&wt=0

The year is 2025. Social is entirely occupied by Enshittified Corporate Goons. Well, not entirely. One small decentralized platform of indomitable nerds still holds out against the invaders.... 
A cry of anger and anguish swept over the cubicles and made many a head pop up and look around; like meerkats looking for danger.
The noise, coming from one of one of the few non-cubicle offices, subsided, presumably to let the producer draw some air, and was replaced by a different scream.
"STEEEEEEEEEEVE!"
I sipped my coffee and marveled at the screamability of my name, then I made my way to the office with a quick detour to the coffee machine.
I knocked on the flimsy door and entered without waiting.
"Hey Ronald, what's up?"
"There's ADS in our software!" Ronald pointed at an email on his screen showing a photo of our main screen with an ad for an exotic spa.
"Oh, Copilot must've put that in there; I forwarded you the new terms of service, they now do ads, too."
"Didn't you CHECK the code?" A little bit of spittle landed on Ronald's screen. I took another sip of coffee.
"Claude checked, said the code was fine."
I think Ronald needs to see someone for his blood pressure, a vein on his temple was undulating under the skin.
"DID. YOU. NOT. CHECK?"
I sighed.
"AI use is mandatory, remember? Also: we are not allowed to change Copilot's code anymore. It's in the new terms of..."
Ronald interrupted me with another guttural scream and more spittle.
My coffee was getting cold anyway.

I'm so tired. People, I am not interested in reading *blogs* generated with claude, gemini or chatgpt. No, not even ones proofread by AI. Do it yourself. I do not wish to even accidentally click on "one-shotted" dummy projects. Don't show me your AI-generated analysis of anything. Above all, I do not wish to see images/artwork someone prompt created.
I value real content, with all its good and bad quirks, from actual human beings.
Somebody please normalize auto-tagging of AI generated content across all formats - text, images and code so I can blanket ban them from my personal computer.
This is a plead for help I never thought I'll have to make.
