Seriously though: I want (okay, demand) a version of Firefox with the "AI chatbot" functionality removed. Not disabled. Removed. I want all code which is specifically designed to connect to OpenAI removed from my computer completely. I do not care if the vampires have promised not to suck my blood. I do not want the vampires in my house in the first place. https://mk.nyaa.place/notes/9xvolkux40ok0n1m

Don't mind me, just dialling #Picotron back to 1991 to work on my #Pico1k entry... 🤓🍌

How to Get Rid of Chubby Cheeks: Diet, Exercise, & More

Friends, please remind your less computer-literate friends:

Despite what the email promises, your friends haven't won a Microsoft Apple UN lottery for commemorative Trump coins to spend watching lolita use breakthrough superfoods to add three inches to their tactical flashlights.

Did everyone and their mother forget how to make a blog CMS serve bog standard HTML pages beautified by CSS versions that finally became actually worth a crap back when logo floor reflections were cool?

How are you all because I am this

I just learned this quite interesting but disappointed fact

the UN says
"We need $40 billion dollars per year to feed all of the world’s hungry people and end global hunger by 2030. "
https://www.wfpusa.org/articles/how-much-would-it-cost-to-end-world-hunger/#:~:text=The%20U.N.%20World%20Food%20Programme%20feeds%20over%20100%20million%20of,end%20global%20hunger%20by%202030.

but then just one military budget (yes the biggest one)
$849.8 billion 2024
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States

but the UK military budget is enough at
£54 billion

feeding the world not bombing it would be an absolute amazing achievement and legacy

But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

What the actual fuck The Verge?! You have over 500 partners who need access to my "essential" cookies?

I mean, thanks for showing me the numbers on how insane data sharing is, but really? And those are the ones I can't opt out of?

Do they count like every employee as a partner, or is my data really being shared with hundreds of other businesses?

As part of a test run for Australia's corporate regulator, AI was used to summarise submissions made by the public.

The trial found that AI performed worse in every metric compared with humans. Assessors suggested AI would make more work for people, not less. https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/ai-worse-summarising-information-humans-government-trial/
