Why are you yanks not fucking marching in he streets? #Obama wears a tan suit and you lose your shit, but this doesn't have you seething and demanding heads?
@HalfHeartedFanatic
Holy fucking shit, they did.
I happened to take a snap of Library of Congress's Annotated Constitution in January (for some other reason).

Point of clarification but when Obama wore his tan suit the only people that lost "their shit" are the same motherfucker's in charge of the Country right now.
@gme And its the same MOFOs who lost their shit at that who are the ones trumpeting 2A rights and yammering on nonstop about government transparency and swamps and going back to your constitutional roots. And yet this is blatant, visible to all no-guff tyrrany right here. So those MAGA idiots SHOULD be losing their absolute shit over this. (I mean, we know why - captured media etc.)
I really really am starting to get concerned for you guys (I love most of you, you're all mostly really nice)
@gme There isn't a direct line between #MikeJohnson's office and the #whitehouse, cmon. Anyways, #congress is more approachable to the everyman. If I were american I would be ringing my congressperson's office non-stop over shit like this.
I just got done talking to both of my Senators' offices and my Representative's office and alerting them about this.
One of my Senator's their aide was very alarmed and concerned about this and when I spoke with my Rep their office said I was the 2nd person to call them about this.
So.....
People are noticing and making their (our) voices heard at least.
The reality is any changes made to congress.gov are mostly symbolic. The version of the Constitution published there -- even by the Library of Congress -- isn't the official Constitution. That's still a paper document and that's held at The National Archives.
But it doesn't look good that's for sure, and is symbolic of this regime's continued gas lighting of the American public.
When we (the US) gets out of this quagmire (and we will eventually get out of it) I think of the biggest changes to come will be such a huge scaling back in the powers of the Executive Branch. That branch of Government is going to be neutered to prevent all this mess from happening again.
Interesting thing is the Library of Congress isn't controlled by The White House. It's literally controlled by Congress. The White House doesn't have the power to change anything in the Library of Congress. This means somebody in Congress did this.

ich glaube, der hauptdenkfehler beim nachdenken über generative ki, bei den nerds meiner generation, ist zu glauben, dass die systeme noch "besser" werden.
"jaaahaa, jetzt ist das noch buggy as hell, aber in ein paar jahren …"
wir haben diesen approach an unserer erfahrung mit software eingeübt und da hat das meist hingehauen.
aber ki ist anders: die unzuverlässigkeit ist nicht eine noch zu lösende unperfektion, sondern immanent systemische eigenschaft der modelle. das wird nicht besser.
wenn man sich die diskurse über ki so anguckt, gibt es da durchaus ein bewusstsein über die unzuverlässigkeit, aber die bedenken werden dann mit jeder neuen nächsten generation von irgendnem tool aus dem bewusstsein gefegt, das zwar immer noch nichts zuverlässig kann, aber ey, guck mal, jetzt auch mit ton!
Das ist kein Problem, denn die Blabla-Maschinen halluzinieren wie wir. Und sind wesentlich eloquenter als viele Politiker. Und weil sie eine direkte Konkurrenz für Labertaschen sind, sehen Labertaschen darin auch ein großes Potential oder eine große Gefahr. Aber wo wird überall herumgelabert? Genau! In allen Instanzen der Entscheidungsfindung. D.h. es ist keine Gefahr für die Wissenschaft, sondern fürs Management und die Politik.
Interessant! Ich denke, dass das bei manchen Anwendungsfällen eine Rolle spielt, bei anderen gar nicht. Kreative Anwendungen müssen nicht faktisch-zuverlässig sein zum Beispiel. Und wenn Modelle Tools in die Hand bekommen, die ihre Ausgaben überprüfen können, ist das wiederrum eine mögliche Lösung für das von dir beschriebene Problem.
ich weiß nicht mehr genau, wo ich das Bild gesehen habe, aber das erklärt glaube ich ganz gut, wie sich generative AI in den letzten Jahren entwickelt hat. Die ersten Schritte waren krass und jetzt ändern sich noch Details.

this is such a good point, if all customer service reps do is recite phrases from their guidelines, then sure AI can and will replace them. Not like these people were given any agency in the first place!
@pheonix One of the more annoying trends in customer service is the last couple of times I've ordered something and had it arrive broken or with a part missing, they just immediately sent me a whole new one.
Even though the broken part was small and easily repairable if they had someone who actually knew the product on the other end of the line instead and I neither have space for a second one nor a desire to throw out something so repairable.
@rrb I'm always fairly curious about who is included in that "university administrators" label, because there are loads of essential, professional workers on university campuses who never see the the inside of a classroom
@paneerakbari @rrb In french universities, a lot of administrative tasks are done by teachers or researchers. It does not seems to be a very good situation as they have not been trained for this.
@rrb Given how much my last CEO and CPO used GPT clients, I project that their average work day was 3 hours long each. They spend most of their time on outside projects anyway - basically working on their personal brand.
@Jeanniewarner @rrb Yeah, have you ever read those interviews with CEO's that beg the question, 'what does your day consist of?' It's always like, "I get up at 7:00, hit the gym, have a light breakfast, then I get a few calls out of the way. After walking the dogs and a few laps in the pool, I head to work on my eBike at 11:00." It's like they have this rock star rider tour contract. "Coffee & Bagel truck on Wednesday's must park next to the tennis courts."
I was recently lectured by a software development manager that I should attend the 'daily standup'. When I asked why they thought that was the case, they live-chatGPTed the answer. Honestly, I preferred it when managers stuck to misquoting the Scrum Guide. Definitely a prime candidate for replacement by AI.
Wow, Major Russia announcement from Julian Assange News
The storm has arrived. Putin has demanded the extradition of Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci for crimes against humanity—and he's not bluffing. Russia now holds irrefutable intelligence proving COVID-19 was engineered as a weapon, not a mistake. The world is at a crossroads: hand over the monsters who unleashed death and control, or watch the whole house of cards collapse.
except that it's NOT a bioengineered weapon, and evidence for such has NOT been provided. It's a perfect move calculated to fool people like you, one that requires no factual basis.
The 'monsters' who unleashed covid was NOT fauci and bill gates
but meat eaters, not unlike the many who eat from factory farms in the US.
and it's not from assange, either, but a random anon fan account
and then they'll all talk about some other bullshit after that
the fact is world leaders are pretty cozy right now, they just have to maintain the illusion of tension and people will think things are happening or whatever, when the only thing that is happening is everyone everywhere is being squeezed dry
I know this is very childish of me, as “Gesundheitsminister” is a perfectly ordinary, respectful German word ... but to my Anglophone ear it just sounds like an evil troll from a Brothers Grimm tale who kidnaps children and makes them sneeze non-stop until they drop dead.

I don't think AI can do your job (but I *do* think an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that *can't* do your job). However, there is a class of workers whose jobs can be performed *perfectly* by AI: workers with bullshit jobs:
If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
David Graeber (RIP) identified several kinds of bullshit jobs and not all of those can be perfectly performed by an AI (for example, the flunkies that minor corporate princelings surround themselves with to demonstrate their status *need* to be human).
But there are whole categories of job that perform functions that corporations don't want performed, like customer service rep, jobs they've spent decades degrading to the point where the people who do them have been stripped of all power and authority and serve no function except allowing a company to claim that they *have* a customer service department.
Replacing these workers with an AI not only saves money by removing their wage-bill from the corporate overhead, but it can actually turn the former cost center into a *profit* center. That's what Air Canada discovered when they replaced their customer service workers with chatbots.
These chatbots gave bad advice to fliers that cost them money, and in every instance except one (where the aggrieved flier was so tenacious that he chased 8 weeks' worth of internal appeals at Air Canada before escalating the matter to a regulator), Air Canada got to keep the money:
All of this raises an obvious question: how can Air Canada (and other firms) get away with having customer service reps who are so useless they can be swapped for defective chatbots?
The answer lies in enshittification. While most people who encounter the idea of enshittification glom onto the symptoms it describes, a three-stage process by which platforms shuttle value from users to business customers to themselves, the crux of enshittification is *why* this decay takes place.
The answer is *power*: firms that enshittify must first overpower the forces that keep their enshittificatory impulses in check, like competition and regulation (these are two sides of the same coin: getting rid of competition paves the way for regulatory capture).
Over decades, Air Canada has merged with the majority of its competitors and has become so structurally important to Canada - a big, geographically dispersed country with many fly-in settlements - that regulators can't really threaten it with meaningful penalties, not without threatening Canada itself. They're too big to fail, thus too big too jail, thus too big to care.
That's how Air Canada was able to turn its customer service into such a joke that it just didn't matter, and so it didn't matter if it replaced those purely ornamental customer service reps with chatbots.
The rise and rise of overseas call-center outsourcing paved the way for AI replacement in the same way that Walmart paved the way for Amazon. Once Walmart destroyed your town center and vaporized all the businesses that served your community, why *wouldn't* you shop on Amazon?
Likewise: once companies replaced their customer service department with immiserated overseas call-center workers who were required to recite rote responses from a three-ring binder and were given no agency or capacity to solve your problem, why not replace them with AIs?
Monopolistic firms are full of people who they don't value because they do jobs the company doesn't value (e.g. moderators on large social media services).
This week, I'm at Skyboat Media studios, recording the audiobook for the *Enshittification* book, and so I got to talking with Gabrielle De Cuir and Stefan Rudnicki, the owners. They talked about the threat they're facing from AI audiobook "narrators," who replace directors, actors and editors with a single piece of software.
There's a whole class of audiobooks where AI can be a perfect substitute - thanks to Audible, and its enshittification. Audible has waged war on unionized voice actors, replacing them with desperate newbies who will tolerate terrible working conditions, including a practice called "punch and roll" that makes actors responsible for doing their own editing when they misspeak, rather than re-recording a passage for an editor to fix later ("pickups").
There are plenty of Audible books that are recorded without a director or an editor or a proofer, meaning that inexperienced actor's mistakes and mispronunciations survive into the final product. These books, produced by the monopolist audiobook platform, with a 90%+ market share for popular fiction, are already degraded to the point of being not fit for purpose. Replacing the actors with AI barely makes a difference.
AI text-to-speech is a giant improvement on existing TTS tools, and there are plenty of people who stand to benefit from this, for example, people with visual impairments. But there's no business model in selling readaloud bots to blind people - certainly not a model that recoups the hundreds of billions that has been sprayed around for AI training and operation.
The AI business model relies on obliterating the wage bill of workers and replacing it with a cheaper software license. Unfortunately (for the fortunes of AI investors) the majority of workers whose wages can be readily swapped for a software license are the lowest-paid, most precarious ones, people whose jobs have already been degraded and enshittified to the point where no one will notice the difference if they are replaced with a chatbot.

@Mamako varish users do usually mark posts sensitive but they have emojis and profile pics that can't be marked sensitive. I've requested @Wiz to mark detroitcity.com as sensitive cuz that's the epitomy of depravity without censorship.
my question with the above post wasn't about that though, rather i was asking if there's a fediverse client that lets you hide sensitive posts (that are actually marked sensitive) from your feed, so they don't clog it up.
example of how it looks like on a browser. 3 whole posts in a row are sensitive but muted so they don't take up too much space.
@Mamako thinking on it, marking as NSFW doesn't really hurt anyone since I sure as shit don't browse with the NSFW filter on, and if you do, you definitely don't want their media. So I was gonna ignore it, but on 2nd thought it makes sense.

#EA has confirmed that #Battlefield 6 will be completely unplayable on #Linux systems, including #SteamDeck, due to its new kernel-level anti-cheat system, “EA Javelin,” which explicitly blocks Linux.

I'm confused. No one is forcing anybody to buy #Battlefield6 or to play it. I mean, I'd love nothing more than to run #Zbrush or #MarvelousDesigner on my #Linux workstation but neither of those applications support Linux. I've told #Maxon and #Clo3D that I would appreciate a native Linux version but until they release one I'm left using my SurfacePro running Windows. I do spend much more time in #Blender3D though and use #Blender for most of my finishing work so all's not lost. Don't buy #Battlefield if you don't like the fact that it won't play on Linux.
