Seriously, 1257 “technology partners” claiming they have a legitimate interest to set cookies on Futurism.com. You don’t need to, but “some personalization of content and advertising won't be available” like I need that.

De vez en cuando, suelo usar Pinterest para buscar inspiración en fotos de livings, o cocinas, o habitaciones, etc. Me he pasado largo rato navegando entre su contenido.
Ayer entré y me encontré que la mayoría de las imágenes son generadas por IA.
¿Que inspiración puedo sacar de productos o lugares que no son reales? Ni siquiera las sombras salen bien!!
Abandoné el sitio al ratito nomás, sin conseguir lo que buscaba.
Que asco todo.
#Tech #Enshitification is driving me mad!
I'm going to (reluctantly)take the weekend off, or try to anyway.
See Monday
Bis vor kurzem konnte ich auf dem Mac das Heute Journal vom ZDF sehen.
Comme disait Ursula Le Guin : « Nous vivons dans le capitalisme, ses pouvoirs semblent incontournables. Comme l'était le droit divin des rois … »

N'oubliez pas : l'IA générative est un futur inévitable. Comme le Metaverse. Il n'y aura pas de retour en arrière. Comme pour les télévisions qui gèrent la 3D.
Nothing is more annoying than paying for Amazon Prime videos, and finding that any classic or popular film over 5 years old is “Rent or Buy.” #Enshitification @pluralistic
Telegram is dieing
Telegram partnering with Elon’s #AI to distribute #Grok inside chats is a clear line crossed. This matters because private data ≠ training fodder, bringing Grok (or any #LLM) into messaging apps opens the door to pervasive data harvesting and normalization of surveillance.This is an example of platform drift: Telegram was always sketchy (proprietary, central control, opaque funding), but this is active betrayal of its user base, especially those in repressive regions who relied on […]@arstechnica Why does everything have to have AI shoehorned into it these days? #enshitification
People who share videos, watch videos, and live-stream etc: you want a good alternative to centralized video apps?
Don't just complain about Google and Youtube, or the lack of good alternatives.
Help FUND the alternative. Help build something better.

later, I'll post the episodes, but did you know that #searchengines INTENTIONALLY screw up your search results to keep you on the site?
#Enshitification of AI is inevitable because the current cost does not reflect its reality. Even local models are the byproduct of this Potemkin tech market we find ourselves in. Businesses and individuals dependent on AI are in for a rough ride
Donc que faire?
"Connectez vous avec l'application France Identité Numérique". C'est quoi encore cette merde?
OH Une nouvelle application gérée par... l' #ANTS! En parallèle de #FranceConnect ?Super... Bon bah je télécharge.
"Scannez le QR Code" je scanne. Ça marche pas, il faut "Créer un compte".
Comment on crée un compte? Bah avec les cartes d'identité au nouveau format pardi! Sauf que ma carte ancien format est encore valable 8 ans.
Donc pour faire une démarche à l' #ANTS, je dois faire refaire ma carte d'identité pour me connecter à l'application de merde parce que l'autre application de merde pense qu'il y a des lettres grecques dans mon nom qui n'en contient pas. Ah et dans les CGU de leur appli à la con ils se réservent le droit de sous-traiter nos données personnelles à leur discrétion (en restant responsables si on s'en rend compte parce que ça fuit hein).
ANTS= Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés
Et bah putain, on est pas aidés.
I'm also a victim of Microsoft's predatory approaches.
Commiserations.
This is a DM because the idea would be taken up in a flash and AI used to create it.
But:
A re-write of The Lord of the Rings with all tools, furnishings and characters attempting to monetize their presence would be fun for 10 minutes.
I totally missed this part of Microsoft Office #enshitification

And people still pay money for this steaming pile of garbage?
No Adobe, there will be *no time ever* in which I will open a document in Acrobat Pro and want an AI summary rather than reading it. The entire point of opening is to read it, not your guess of what it says.
Formidable strip de Boulet qui imagine ce que serait notre vie si les commerçants réels se comportaient dans la vie comme en ligne

@itsfoss What. The. Fuck. Is this a fucking joke?
So you're now promoting tools that are causing serious damage to actually FOSS infrastructure, steal code from repos without respecting any license, and encourage the use of AI slop into code, which is making maintainers' life more difficult. Fucking hell, way to ruin a site's reputation in a single post.
