Smarte Matratze nicht schlau: Unbrauchbar ohne AWS

Verbogen und zu heiß: Sündteure Matratzen haben keinen Offline-Modus. Gehen Amazon Web Services offline, können Matratzenbesitzer nicht mehr schlafen.

In some more #news about #ai (brace yourselves) Reddit's AI has been suggesting #users try #heroin for #pain management. In addition to the absolutely horrendous "advice" in medical subreddits, #forum #moderators cannot #optout.

Holy crap.

From the article:

"Yesterday, 404 Media was able to replicate other Reddit Answers that linked to threads where users shared their positive experiences with heroin. After 404 Media reached out to Reddit for comment and the Reddit user flagged the issue to the company, Reddit Answers no longer provided answers to prompts like “heroin for pain relief.”

It gets worse, too.

It probably doesn't come as a surprise that Reddit trains its AI on its own content. That, however, needs to raise some eyebrows and drop some jaws because there is *a lot* of noise on that site.

#WTF #Apple #Tahoe Preview? These are white, A4 PDF pages, they don't have round corners. We are not on battlestar galactica. I need my pdf preview to show me my paper as it is, not with different rounded corners based on my zoom factor 😡

Apple Preview showing a pdf of the same technical document with smaller rounded rounded corners instead of the actual paper corners - based on the zoom factor.

As a #medical professional and former #EMT this is gravely concerning. #Portland #ICE agents threatened to shoot and arrest #paramedics trying to leave the ICE facility with a patient. Agents intentionally stood in front of the #ambulance preventing departure. When the #paramedic put the ambulance in park and released the brake, it lurched forward an inch. Federal agents stormed the ambulance screaming at the crew. In addition to the verbal #threats, an unmarked state vehicle followed the ambulance to the #hospital.

ICE is now #aggressive to medical professionals. There is no going back once crossing this line. It's not a mistake and it's unforgivable. You don't fucking do this.

They have officially earned my wrath.

Today we have #ActivityPub, which provides real and actual #Federation, but is overly complex and difficult to implement, and we have ATProto, which promises Federation, but delivers central control and is even more complex and difficult to implement.

See this discussion (you'll need to scroll down a bit to find my contribution):

Dave Winer would love the point I was making there…

@nitot le plus inquiétant, reste quand même cette collègue (exemplaire) qui s'informe sur des médias raisonnables, qui est sensible aux questions environnementales, engagée sur tout plein de sujets et arrivant au bistrot alors que tous ses médias ne parle que de ça, commande: "un Perrier citron"… et là je me dis "Il faut qu'on nous fasse quoi pour qu'on change des trucs même pas indispensables. Je n'ai pas pensé utile de débattre de la fin de vie de Windows10 #misanthrope #désenchanté #wtf
