"The people who find AI fun or useful or surprising are centaurs. They're making automation choices based on their own assessment of their needs and the AIs' capabilities.
They are not the customers for AI. AI exists to replace workers, not empower them. Even if AI can make you more productive, there is no business model in increasing your pay and decreasing your hours."
"AI companies are not pitching a future of AI-enabled centaurs. They're colluding with bosses to build a world of AI-shackled reverse centaurs. Some people are using AI tools (often standalone tools derived from open models, running on their own computers) to do some fun and exciting centaur stuff. But for the AI companies, these centaurs are a bug, not a feature – and they're the kind of bug that's far easier to spot and crush than the bugs that AI code-bots churn out in volumes no human can catalog, let alone understand."
The combination of this framing and previously-mentioned “folks that explore this by choice vs. having it thrust upon them” is _very_ clarifying. I’ve had generally positive centaur-shaped experiences augmenting my side project development with LLMs. Being forced to use e.g. Copilot (which isn’t even good) with the metrics-driven expectation of higher output would make me deeply resentful.
the sad part is that the "centaurs" aren't being assisted by just machines, they're being assisted by machines supported by reverse-centaurs. All the people tasked with cleaning datasets, and all the artists whose work was (and is) stolen to train the machines are the human price of the centaurs' fun experience. And it's not *necessary* to train generative systems thus way, it's just *cheap* and *fast*.
„Don’t be evil“, direkt übersetzt „sei nicht böse“, war jahrelang das inoffizielle Motto von Google. Diese Zeiten sind jetzt offenbar shon länger vorbei.
As long as Google can demonstrate that it's business model promotes fair treatment, and having removed systemic barriers, and ensures full participation for all individuals, I have no problem with their programs. But, without supports, I doubt that they can reach enough diversity in the USA. Good luck to them. Trump does not care.

One America News Network (OANN) correspondent Jack Posobiec tweeted 28 times over a span of ten months links to a website the U.S. government says is backed by Russian intelligence.
The SPLC notes that "SouthFront is an online disinformation site registered in Russia that receives taskings from the FSB."
So the question becomes, what does it take to get suspended from cyperplace.social? Because if spreading literal Russian disinformation isn't enough, then #FediBlock is appropriate.

A federal judge on Friday rejected a bid by 16 Democratic-led states to force U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to restore hundreds of millions of dollars of grants it canceled that support increasing diversity in science, technology, engineering and math fields.
Democratic state attorneys general had urged U.S. District Judge John Cronan in Manhattan to block the National Science Foundation from canceling funding awarded to universities designed to increase the participation of women, minorities, and people in those fields, known collectively as STEM.

21WIRE | Israel's internal crime investigation system is a carefully staged performance designed to whitewash their war crimes and deny Palestinians accountability.
Father of mercy, you made Saint John Vianney outstanding in his priestly zeal and concern for your people. By his example and prayers, enable us to win our brothers and sisters to the love of Christ and come with them to eternal glory.

________
May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.
Every time you post this prayer, but with different Saints, my brain goes to Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, from "Messiah," sung at Christmas by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. 💖

“Our ministers have chosen carefully crafted diplomatic language buried under joint country statements to influence the situation in Gaza, while at the same time protecting relationships with allies, particularly the US.” — John Hobbs.
On the fifth anniversary of the devastating Beirut port explosion, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun pledged that "justice is coming", renewing calls for accountability in a disaster that killed over 220 people and left thousands wounded.
@erdu Zionist? Yes, of course. Fascist? Thats whatr you are, you dumb fucktards. With your pseudo-left one-sided criticism, you are complicit in the deaths of all those civilians.
Remember when zion meant paradise, the aspiration, the manifesting heaven on earth... and thus zionism would just be striving for making your nation paradise.
You cannot build paradise with bricks of atrocity.
No rest on a bed of blood.
Not my zion.
And to those in that totalitarian hypnosis, when they hear "anti-zionism", they hear it as they're primed to, to keep them terrorised in the totalitarian mass formation all the harder, like it's the threat that someone wants to deprive them of their nationhood. Would you want to be deprived of your nationhood? No. We have to come up with better approaches that do not fall foul of the psyops deeply entrenched. Gently does it.
Of course, some others are just abject dark-tetrads, and/or false-flaggers trying to get the world to hate jews, so the crazies who want to pose to them the ultimatum, once consolidated, "convert to christianity or be nuked". ... Oh there's ample crazy to go around alrighty.
Peak fascism energy
Yup.
Blatantly narcissistic too. Abject absence of introspection, strong arrogance vibe of apportioning blame and taking credit, self aggrandising and gaslighting others... Like has succumbed to a infallibility-&-superiority complex..
... Even when encountering people pointing it out... is strongly unlikely to ever have that "could it be me?" moment.
But try we must.
Not speaking up against totalitarianism makes it worse with every atrocity committed as if it's a necessary virtue.
Yeah, bringing back individual responsibility would go a long way to mending this. No more "just doing my job" excuse.
Restore good people disobeying bad orders.
Every example of that can inspire the timid obedient masses out of their lethally conformist mass formation, back to individual sovereign autonomy and conscientious consciousness.
