"Behind every AI system is a huge amount of human effort. Most of this work is not done by well-paid engineers, but by millions of precariously employed workers."
Great explainer by @superrr!

Marques Brownlee has put up a video about a US$20,000 robot. The company behind it claims it can do a whole range of household tasks 'through the power of AI', and will be delivered next year.
They even demonstrated a prototype to a journalist.
And the entire demonstration was being remotely controlled by a human operator.
And the company admits that, other than one or two simple tasks like opening a door, all tasks will be completed by a remote human operator. Those tasks will need to be scheduled in advance.
So.
Assuming this thing can be put into mass production, a huge if, it's basically a mechanical Turk.
Mark my words.
If this thing makes it to market, and that's a big if, the operators will be in a low-wage country.
It will almost exclusively be a way for rich white Americans to have human servants do their chores, without them being in their house.

Three years ago today, the idea of the Newsmast Foundation was born 🎂
Born from the pieces of what Twitter was, our founders knew that they needed to take action to help online communities come together to inform one another once again.

Dystopian.
"Sometime in the last twenty years, our possessions came alive."
"Decentralised social media ecosystems allow independently operated communities to communicate across shared protocols without being controlled by a single corporation.
One such example is the Fediverse, which includes platforms like micro-blogging site Mastodon and video sharing site PeerTube."

"On 12 November 1990 [Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau] published a formal proposal outlining principal concepts and defining important terms behind the web. The document described a "hypertext project" called "WorldWideWeb" in which a "web" of "hypertext documents" could be viewed by “browsers”."

"In her book [Technofascism Survival Guide], [former cybersecurity professor Kim Crawley] claims that Silicon Valley’s fascist origins began with Stanford University eugencists in the 19th century, which continued through the explosion of the computer technology industry, and exists today in the form of Gen AI, law enforcement using the internet, phones, and smart devices for mass surveillance, and tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos being featured at Donald Trump’s second inauguration."

"In the beginning, the Web was simple. When I first encountered it in early 1993 (working for O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator[...]), there was only one browser for viewing web pages and it ran exclusively on the Unix platform. There were about a dozen tags that made any difference. Designing a web page was a relatively simple task."

"Sources tell Windows Central that internal teams are also beginning to push back against excessive integration, and the company may therefore reconsider its stance.
At the very least, Microsoft may dial back Copilot features or remove the chatbot’s branding from apps like Notepad and Paint to make the experience feel more conventional, the report says."

On the #climate I would like to talk about the company that found #curl and #openssl's #deeplearning many (10ish) 0-day vulns "using #ai ". (#llm s were involved).
This obviously relates to my #lisp #symbolic #DL https://screwlisp.small-web.org/conditions/symbolic-d-l/ (ffnn equiv). Thanks to everyone involved with that so far.
I implemented that using #commonLisp #condition handling viz KMP.

It has been regrettable to inform you that I hadn't checked my emails, and as a result, The Blue Pages is now down for the time being. I am working on finding backups and eventually getting the site back up to a new host. I am very, very sorry for the inconveniences it caused.
