@LeoR1010 Exakt. Och det skulle inte förvåna mig om det är ett av målen, att vi alla ska börja tvivla på allt. Då blir människor mer villiga att betala för verifiering. Som kommer styras av ett fåtal aktörer med en agenda… och kanske inte alltid ha så mycket med verkligheten att göra. 😔

Just as accurately as any generative ’AI’ detector, Instagram now automatically adds ”Likely made with AI” to images. The inherent false positives means legitimate artists are now ousted as not doing their own work. Using Meta products is truly a deal with the devil, as is using ’AI’ detector software. Layer upon layer of deceit weighing down on real talent. @davidrevoy https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/116941001377913004
@Mabande @jon_bon @herzleid Jag har skrivit lite om detta gällande Dewey Decimal system i avsnittet "Läslust" här:

The story of Messi, Lamine Yamal and the baby pic session for a Unicef calendar is fabulous.

@nikunashi @tante Just. Wow. Really impressed by this. Thank you for sharing! Now I need to read the Broken Earth series and more.
@tante Excellent as always tante. This for me is the core of Le Guin's The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.

"But when I told him what had happened, Bezos looked horrified. He did not say “I’m so sorry.” He did not say “Do you need anything?” Instead, he made a face, and in an instant, an aide came and whisked him away. When presented with the opportunity for empathy, even performative empathy, he chose escape."

For the richest men on Earth, everything is free and nothing matters.

@troed I believe @bagder summarises the issue I'm addressing rather well in this post about how curl gave up their bug bounty program.
One of the ironies in all this is of course that AI is an accelerator of both threats and defense at the same time.
But the specific issue in my visualization has to do with the onslaught of faulty bug reports.
As Daniel Stenberg writes: "The never-ending slop submissions take a serious mental toll to manage and sometimes also a long time to debunk. Time and energy that is completely wasted while also hampering our will to live."

I saw Linus Torvalds expressing concern over how ”AI-powered” bug hunters have made the Linux security mailing list unmanageable. So I sketched out a quick visualisation of this 😁

"Kort därefter kom kommunens fastighetsförvaltare till butiken och uppmanade henne att omedelbart ta ner ”allt”. Hon upplevde att det var oklart exakt vilka föremål kommunen syftade på, men menar att hon förstod att det handlade om hennes Palestinakonst.
– Jag blev lite paff först, men sen kände jag att det här har nog inte gått helt rätt till.
Sara berättar att hon motsatte sig kravet. Dels hade hon investerat pengarexempelvis t-shirtsen med motiv, dels ansåg hon inte att det var rimligt att ta bort konsten utan en tydlig motivering. Hon bad därför om ett skriftligt beslut från kommunen, men upplevde att beskedet ändå var att konsten skulle tas bort direkt.
– Jag har alltid haft ett superstarkt rättvisepatos och för mig har det här blivit en väldigt stor grej personligen. Jag vill verkligen stå för och göra allt lilla jag kan göra.
I efterhand började Sara ifrågasätta kommunens agerande. Hon menar att kommunen sedan tidigare känt till innehållet i hennes butik. Vid ett tidigare tillfälle ombads hon ta bort en palestinsk flagga från ytterdörren eftersom den ansågs störa den historiska miljön i Wadköping. Samtidigt fick hon då beskedet att hon själv fick bestämma över innehållet inne i butikslokalen.
– Det är vad jag fått till mig tidigare."

@kallekn @vijarvinen @rolle Yes, moving to Eurosky means you move your personal data there (to a server at Hetzner in Germany). So your follows/followers lists (and any blocks), your posts and your images/videos. This moves your data to EU jurisdiction.
You are still dependent on Bluesky for the infrastructure that Bluesky, the service, provides. So you use Bluesky with a Eurosky account. All indexing, search, and the aggregated view is still on Bluesky's infrastructure, not something Eurosky replaces. And moderation is of course in the hands of Bluesky.
You can log into http://mu.social (any Bluesky user can do that as well) which is the Eurosky client app, but which for now really is just another view (frontend) of Bluesky’s app. Essentially a fork of the Bluesky client, still dependent on Bluesky to operate. The benefit is that it’s another part of the whole that is on EU ”soil”.
Note: I had no issues migrating from Bluesky to Eurosky but I do recommend getting a custom username/domain before doing the migration, which theoretically ensures mentions don’t get lost because of a changed username. A custom username can be moved across - which will be true of any future migrations as well.
It’s hard to search and find messages across the Fediverse.
This is a good thing.
The more I read about Altman’s World project (you know, the orb that scans people’s eyes) the more important I feel the Fediverse is.
I can get somewhat excited by the Atmosphere (Bluesky and others) as well at times, and projects like Leaflet that appear decentralized, but I certainly am not as safe/independent in that environment, even if I run my own PDS (personal data server).
The feature that the Fediverse brings is that it is unpredictable, messy and hard to nail down. We don’t see the edges of it, it’s not intuitive, and often impossible, to search for content across instances, and it’s not really feasible to have truly accurate figure of how many people are reachable on a Fediverse address. It took me a while to realise that this is something to embrace, not criticize it for.
Staying safe from bad actors requires messy. It requires unpredictable. The single database containing all humans on Earth (Altman’s World) is the nightmare.
My pro tip to beginners: If you like a post on the Fediverse, bookmark it with some other tool or send it in a message to yourself. That’s your searchable archive. Emphasis on your.
There are certainly lots of usability issues with Fediverse software. Like the landing page for any instance and how it’s often incredibly hard to understand for novices. Like ”where even am I?”
Honestly, though, I’d like to see more tiny instances. I dream of things like VPS providers providing 1-click installs of Snac for a couple dollars per month. Or even a tiny hardware box that you buy (no monthly fees), plug into your network and go through a wizard to set up your presence. I know people do similar things already… I mean for anyone.
Anyway, this was just a long-winded way of saying that the Fediverse plays a hugely important role in resistance to authoritarianism, and that many of its perceived weaknesses are its strengths.
And I’m sure we can come up with more weaknesses in the future that turn out to be strengths. 😁
In social media news, Toni Schneider (previously Automattic) is now formally the CEO of Bluesky (no longer interim). Jay Graber stepped away from the role in early March, taking on a role as Chief Innovation Officer.
