Who called it "automated Mastodon post deletion" and not "toot decay?"

Hi @pascaline, here you are: https://link.europa.eu/DgD8C4
@TheOneSwit @PilotMoonDog @toolbear Never mind the police—Bruce Wayne could buy enough votes in the state legislature to make it a capital offense to be the Joker. That's how laws get made in the US, right?
@cstross @PilotMoonDog @toolbear
but he needs all that money for his batcave full off cars and guns so he could do whatever he wants like a pippi longstocking.
that "selfcentric" is one thing i dislike the most in superheros. Avengers Endgame, total invasion from outerspace, all the superheros come together with theyre minions to fight the ultimate enemy off humanity but no Nato is coming.
Mirror of american politics, billionaire "superheros" traveling around the world doing selfjustice.
While Trump is building his vanity ballroom, China is building the robot armies that will show up on future battlefields.
Priorities, ladies and gentlement. Priorities.

@randahl there's no way these would be used for combat. Human mobility ain't so good that your war winning robot wants to duplicate it. They'll be disposable flying grenades and robot dogs with eight horror legs with blades on them and they'll shoot robot bees from their mouths.
So happy to see someone else saying this.
@resuna Quite a lot of us here on Fedi have been saying the same thing for quite a while now.
Plenty of others have been saying the same thing outside of Fedi too.
None of the billionaire-owned media "prints" that, though. No idea why!

@neil @SylvieLorxu what can it be used for irl? like, is it a subtitute for google wallet?
@melocopon
I don't know, I'm afraid, as I don't know what Google Wallet does.
Two oil-spill emergencies off the coasts of Iran and Oman are threatening precious marine ecosystems.
There is NO SAFE WAY to transport oil, and spills can NEVER be fully cleaned up.
It’s time to end fossil fuel dependence to protect the living world.
@greenpeace
Getting off the oil economy would also give certain individuals fewer excuses to start stupid wars.

@neil @SylvieLorxu one trick BTW, is that if a site isn't giving an apple wallet file, is to just fake an iOS/MacOS user agent and reload the ticket page.
Had this happen a few times, a site would only offer me a Google Wallet file on Firefox Desktop and or android, but faking a UA gave me an apple wallet button.

And yet people say my distrust of QR codes is not rational.
Qr codes are not a secure system. Stop using them.

@mdione yes, I always find the combination of things sold fascinating!

What the hell are future doctors and researchers learning about healthcare ethics at Linköping University? There is a rheumatologist and at least one psychologist on this list, too.
When Black people tell you that healthcare and therapy are not safe, believe them!
How a Texas student blew the whistle on a rogue AI hacking attempt
algernon's eyes start to twitch, he's visibly very much unwell

Ok, now that I composed myself a little, let me clarify a few things!
- There is no such thing as an "autonomous agent". An agent running in a mutable loop is not autonomous, it's still just a loop trying to do statistically plausible things based on the bullshit fed to it, and the bullshit it was trained on.
- There is no such thing as a rogue agent. That would require intent, and there's no intent in an agent. There's plausability, based on the prompt and the training. If it does bad things, then it was prompted to do bad things, or was trained on bad things.
- There is no such thing as an agent escaping a lab, there's only human error failing to unplug the lab from the internet.
- An AI is incapable of lying. It is also incapable of telling the truth. It doesn't know either concept, it doesn't know anything. It might emit something vaguely resembling correct information, but just aswell might emit bullshit - it literally cannot tell the difference.
- Every story of this kind is meant to achieve one thing, and one thing only: normalizing crime via AI. "It was a rogue agent doing supply chain attack!" - BULLSHIT.
Right, ok. That's as much as I could muster. I'm going to turn off my brain again, this was enough for one day.
So happy to see someone else saying this.
@EUCommission @Catha
Why not make only the packaging producer into needing all this?
So I can buy packaging bearing the PPWR logo, and I will have no issues to send my stuff through Europe.
Even if I create my own packaging, it is produced by a packaging provider, which will then comply to the PPWR on my behalf.
I could even reuse old boxes, if they have the PPWR stamp, to send my stuff.
Is that too simple?
