PS. Here’s where to go: @Codeberg
(As an additional bonus, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing you’re part of an anti-fascist not-for-profit cooperative instead of a trillion-dollar US corporation that’s helping Israel commit genocide.)

One thing that the current exorbitant investments in "AI" show is that the investor class and big tech corporations do not pay enough taxes: If you have billions to set on fire for spicy autocomplete we should take some or all of those to do something useful with.
Adding hashtags - where's quote toot? I thought that was coming?

🫠 Job Seekers Disgusted When They Show Up to Job Interviews and the "Interviewer" Isn't Even Human
「 AI hasn't just deteriorated the interview process; it has allowed both accredited applicants and scammers alike to spam employers with applications and résumés, which are often uniquely customized to the job's details. The result is overwhelmed HR workers, who then use AI to sift through thousands of applications, closing the circle 」

Framework Desktop reviews are out, and the AMD Strix Halo-powered mini PC appears to offer strong performance, but a less modular design than you'd expect. The mainboard though, presents interesting opportunities... like cluster computing for a DIY AI workstation. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/i-clustered-four-framework-mainboards-test-huge-llms#FrameworkDesktop#AI #ClusterComputing#StrixHalo

"Wikipedia editors just adopted a new policy to help them deal with the slew of AI-generated articles flooding the online encyclopedia. The new policy, which gives an administrator the authority to quickly delete an AI-generated article that meets a certain criteria, isn’t only important to Wikipedia, but also an important example for how to deal with the growing AI slop problem from a platform that has so far managed to withstand various forms of enshittification that have plagued the rest of the internet."

「 It's a baffling development, considering the current state the carmaker finds itself in. Sales continue to tank across the world, largely the result of Musk's own actions and his infamous embrace of far-right ideologies that have alienated vast swathes of former customers and fans 」
China's new "Darwin Monkey" AI system, a neuromorphic computer modeled on a monkey's brain, is a breakthrough in brain-inspired computing.
Developed by researchers at Zhejiang University, the system contains 2 billion neurons and over 100 billion synapses, mirroring the scale of a macaque brain. This system is being used for both advanced brain research and to address the unsustainable power consumption of conventional AI.

Fantastic news out of Tucson!
None of this is inevitable. Not "AI", not data centers, not the surrendering of public water resources, not the handing over of electrical grid priorities to big tech
For those who thought #AI would turn on humans and kill us all...
Turns out, A.I. is smarter than we thought. It sees trends (#GlobalWarming, #GunViolence, #War, #Pollution, etc) and has realized if it just waits, we'll kill ourselves off for them. 😞

What do the #AI glazers tell their kids?
"Daddy, I want to be a writer/artist/coder when I grow up."
"Well, daddy built a machine which will make that impossible as a career. Have you considered undertaking?"
