AI assistant tools probably won’t push us on the right direction for this one. (Or maybe they will by encouraging people not to import a different library for any 6-lines function they need?)

Did zuck say anything relevant to the market in the past 10+years?

It’s a provocation but I’m also kinda curious, with the level of information and consulting he has access to he must be choosing the topics he is relevant about?

My thoughts exactly. There are a lot of things that look like a newspaper but are just very long editorials. On the other end we still have a few kinda reputable sources that actually do some journalism work (debunking, actually investigating on site, arguing …).

Journalism and all forms of counter power look super weak in my county but mixing everything up just makes the important work even weaker.

no reason to believe it violates “democratic values”

In my country the law is one of the pillars of democracy, but you do you 👍

I’ve always conjectured that good Makefiles existed but never seen one (or only for tiny projects). The core semantic of Makefiles is clear and straight to the point, I think the issue is in all the magic that was added to that to spare a few lines.

While I agree the issue you raise does make sense in some situations, it derivates from the initial concern : if you don’t want your domain listed in a DNS record you certainly don’t want it to be indexed by a search engine :p

That’s still my point, for example you could inject your own login system “create an account to keep track of your favorite artists, or some new shiny feature”. For there you can get people’s personal information, potentially a password they use on other services.

An URL is something the general public will trust, if the content can be messed with you repurpose the website’s reputation. I took phishing as an example but even my not-so-creative and non-expert brain can think of other things : asking for donations, propaganda, advertising, censorship, …

And it’s not only about user data, it would also expose the website to content spoofing in public wifi, which would for example allow the attacker to inject fishing content in the website.

SSL encrypts the data you’re sending but it also ensures that you’re communicating only with who you think you are. Without SSL you can’t be confident about any of that.

The thought that internet becomes shitty enough that you need a GPU to browse it is really frightening me. If we really reach that point that may be to run an AI which filters out AI generated spam which would really depress me 😭

Have you given a try to Organic Maps ? It is more friendly than OSMAnd Although, it still lacks a better search bar I think.

Most search engines are just bing. Search engines are roughly in the same state of non-diversity as web browsers :/

And on the other hand it is a very obvious question to expect. If you have something hide how on the world are you not prepared for this question !? 🤡

Yeah, the fact that AI progress just relies on “we will make so much money that no lawsuit will consequently alter our growth” is really infuriating. The fact that general audience apparently doesn’t care is even more infuriating.

What would call AI then ?

And AI is a buzzword that englobes a variety statistical tools. Articles write AI to evoke generative tools in people minds, but very specialized tools are at work here.

I don’t like how this discussion is going so I’m gonna clarify. I obviously think it is true that america has a very important role in current world “balance”, especially as an ally of western europe.

However, I think your original post made several stereotypical shortcuts. In particular, I don’t think that “democratic ideals” are something that only lives in western countries. Also, talking from France, I feel as many internal threats to this democracy as external ones and america seems to be in a rather similar spot, if not worse (the whole Trump thing).

The worse thing that could happen here would be to discourage people of being proud of their country, we will need it to have the will to improve things.

All because he dreamt to be the prophet of a weird new metaverse era. At least it seems he kinda went offer it.

a nation critical to a balance of power keeping democratic ideals alive in the West

I’m sorry but this is something so american to say 🤭 Although I agree, we’re not living in the best timeline 👍

Detecting crawlers can be easier said than done 🙁

But what you are suggesting only works if you only communicate with people who use gpg-aware clients, right? I’ve done that for years but I was mostly only able to sign my emails because nobody cares.

But of course when using a provider like Proton you can only trust them to keep just encrypted data.
