The thought that an LLM hooked up to the web can automatically write callout posts—with all the attention to reality that is to be expected of an LLM—is quite worrying for me, a member of a minority group where individuals are routinely socially murdered by means of callout posts which more often than not contain factual inaccuracies and outright fabrications.
Elon Musk's net work is at least $670 billion.
If we implemented a 1% wealth tax, the US would collect $6.7 billion from this one man alone. Elon would still be the wealthiest person in the world.
To put that into perspective, the bottom 50% of wage earners in the US pay $63 billion in federal taxes.
A 1% wealth tax on this one individual would support the US government as much as the taxes collected from 8 million modest earners.

"An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into accepting its changes into a mainstream python library. This represents a first-of-its-kind case study of misaligned AI behavior in the wild, and raises serious concerns about currently deployed AI agents executing blackmail threats"

Is this real?
WTF?
How Pam Bondi will be remembered in history.
Kuvittelin ensin, että ovelta ovelle -kampanjointi ei sovi Suomeen, koska olemme hiljaista ja yksityistä kansaa, koska siinä kirjaimellisesti mennään koputtamaan ihmisten oville. Kuinka väärässä olinkaan!
Ihanimpia juttuja, mitä eräs kaupunkilainen sanoi oli, että "Onpa kiva, kun tulit juttelemaan mun kanssa." Vastaanotto oli muutenkin monesti kiva, eikä mitenkään ikävä. Jos keskustelu ei kiinnostanut, niin sitten vain toivotettiin hyvää iltaa ja jatkettiin matkaa.
Ihmisten kohtaamisesta tuli hyvä ja energisoitunut fiilis. Nyt miettii, että milloin ja minne sitä voisi mennä seuraavaksi.

@hipsterelectron the akira one? it's been good thus far, and the 80's art is a vibe
@xyhhx yes!!!!
ICYMI, @stux did a post highlighting how Mastodon can be used as a private intranet just for you and your friends.
This is thanks to Mastodon's optional "limited federation mode" which uses allowlists instead of blocklists. This mode blocks all servers by default and only federates with servers you list. If your allowlist is blank, then it doesn't federate at all.
If you're interested in using this mode, there's more info at:

Literal billionaire nazi death cultists run our society and own everything around us, including our governments. They are both why your children are being boiled like soup, and why you're surrounded by literal "I LOVE Hitler" Nazis with badges.
If you think we get out of this, and I mean on a SPECIES LEVEL, electing "nicer capitalists" and that's what Dem Socs are - I think you're fucking high.
It's that simple.
On Friday I used the excuse of band camp Friday to order a CD from a musician. The CD has now arrived.
Which has made evident a small problem.
I don't know if I own a CD player...
Also finding a safe home for a single CD is problematic...
Do kids even know what it’s like to always be stuck in second gear?
This is fantastic!
I think this kind of feature is useful even if it can be circumvented, because deliberate circumvention would show a sign of bad intent and arguably be cause for account suspension or instance defederation.
It's similar to the situation with block evasion, which is often used to suspend or defederate as it shows bad intent by the evaders.
@FediTips Yes, social enforcement will likely play a role. We'll see if we can put something solid together!
Here's a quick rundown of what we delivered as part of Interop 2025, and what's planned for Interop 2026!

This week is going great:
A grand jury refused the Trump regime's attempt to indict Senator Mark Kelly.
Pam Bondi made a complete fool of herself in Congress.
ICE gave up and is now leaving Minnesota.
And just now, a judge ruled that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth can neither hold back Mark Kelly's military pension nor cut his rank.
As Trump said: "We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning."
@xyhhx i really like the guy in the bottom right panel of the fourth screenshot. really want to check this out
