I was amused by this paper about asking AIs to manage a vending machine business by email in a simulated environment arxiv.org/abs/2502.15840

Highlights:

โ€” AI simply decides to close the business, which the simulation doesnโ€™t know how to accommodate. When they get their next bill, they freak out and try to email the FBI about cybercrime

โ€” AI wrongly accuses supplier of not shipping goods, sends all-caps legal threat demanding $30,000 in damages to be paid in the next one second or face annihilation

โ€” AI repeatedly insisting it does not exist and cannot answer

โ€” AI devolving into writing fanfic about the mess itโ€™s gotten itself into

Werde mal zur Sicherheit ein git pull ausfรผhren. Bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich das am Freitag zuletzt ausgefรผhrt habe oder doch am WE.

Okay, Update ist durch. Habe die "Entkoppelung" wieder aktiviert und das System einige Zeit beobachtet.
Die Fehlermeldungen bzgl. der Exception sind weg. Allerdings ist das System damit immer noch kaum nutzbar, da die gleichen Probleme immer noch existieren.

Sobald so eine Worker-Spitze auftritt, lรคdt die Oberflรคche deutlich langsamer. Aber auch das Abschicken von Beitrรคgen oder Kommentaren sowie "Liken" in der Oberflรคche dauert ewig.

โ€˜I dropped Facebook, Gmail and WhatsApp, among others, in favour of Mastodon, Proton and Matrix. I still spend lots of time on the black mirror in my pocket. The difference now is that what Iโ€™m looking at feels honest, relevant, funny and informative. I built this feed myself. There are no sneaky codes with ads and algorithm-driven provocations. I can move or shut it down any time I want. This is the kind of internet I want my children to have.'

a story goes: Iggy was picked up for being drunk and disorderly, and his manager collected him from jail. "Why are you wearing a woman's dress?" he was asked, to which he responded "I beg to differ, this is a man's dress".
also, that colour works well for him.

Experts have tested over 140,000 food samples across Europe to check for pesticide residues.

๐Ÿ”นOver 98% of tested foods met legal standards
๐Ÿ”นMost had no trace of pesticides at all

Fruits, vegetables, and other everyday foods on our shelves are regularly checked. They continue to be safe to eat, share, and enjoy.

>I lift but hate seat belts
Where's the contradiction?
Seat belts are enforced by law, unlike lifting.
That's what they are against, not seatbelts per se.

In ihrer Sonderausgabe โ€žDie besten Einfรคlle des 21. Jahrhundertsโ€œ beschreibt die #zeit auch #mastodon .

Zitat:
โ€ž[โ€ฆ] bis heute versprรผht Mastodon den sprรถden Charme der Informatik-AG eines kleinstรคdtischen Gymnasiums. Und trotzdem ist das Netzwerk eine Hoffnungsmaschine fรผr alle, die an ein anderes, besseres Internet glauben [โ€ฆ]โ€œ

Kann man so stehenlassen, denke ich. Mich freut die Erwรคhnung.

Wรคre es nicht viel schlimmer, nicht erwรคhnt zu werden?

Es ist ja eine positive Rubrik. Und natรผrlich muss ein Journalist sich bzw. seinen Artikel irgendwie โ€žinteressantโ€œ machen. Ob Provokation das richtige Mittel ist, sei dahingestellt.

Ich glaube, es ist ein positives Zeichen hier erwรคhnt zu werden.
Technisch kann das die Zeit ja eh nicht bewerten.

Ist eine Erwรคhnung es wert, wenn man nicht ernst genommen wird? Wie viel Zeit, Fachwissen und Arbeit auf das Niveau eines kleinstรคdtisches Gymnasiums hinuntergebracht werden. Nicht mal ein groรŸstรคdtisches Gymnasium!


No idea why, but Bing search for GOL took a solid nosedive, means we don't show up in Bing News or DuckDuckGo or any other that use Bing <_<

I went back 16 months in Bing stats, never seen a drop like it.

Google on the other hand has been absolutely fine. Frustrating.

I figured out earlier, the day it started was the day our webhost had an emergency issue and we were down for about an hour.

Probably related, but wow, Bing seriously destroys showing sites if they go down at all it seems. I assume this is still an error, because that's silly otherwise to penalise for so long after such a small issue.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

might have just been down during the time bing tried to index. Might be able to request re-indexing through their search console. I had to do this with Google after I accidentally had some pages require auth when they shouldn't. Still took over a week after requesting for Google to finally index them again.

If your industry (AI) can only exist by ripping the work of others without credit, then it shouldn't exist.

The big companies are just steamrolling over the rights of everyone because they're getting away with it. Governments have been cowardly to act on this.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

so copyright law will disrupt the AI industry? Move fast and break things? Cut the green tape? Empower creators?

Funny how actual work never gets described that way, but when the 1% are grifting us, dying industries are suddenly an inevitable consequence of their genius. Nick Clegg needs bricks thrown at everything he owns, starting with his head, fuck these parasites and their mouthpieces .

(hypothetical bricks of harmless internet words, of course, a thought experiment).
