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
F-droid was the first thing I thought of when I saw the news come by of Google's plan to turn Android more into iOS. Custom roms are already a dying breed due to all the crap that Google has been pulling, and now this.
It's such a shame we've ended up with a smartphone OS duopoly. It could've been so much better, sigh.

🔥 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....
