Read this to get a sense of how to can avoid the new AI-generated social media interactions coming our way. I wouldn't want any of us to waste precious time and energy arguing with fake people on line. #AI #technology #socialmedia #chatbots #deepfakes

I've seen two articles this weekend about how we need to be nice to chatbots to avoid becoming assholes to humans

I think folks brains are getting completely cooked by conversational interfaces

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process.

The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail.

So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.

In case Visa/Mastercard one day was 'turned off', how to pay?
* By such European systems (eg Vipps) which rely on phone number eg as bar code of the recipient
* Account-to-account
* Cash
* Or through any of the forthcoming European cards that fit into properly adjusted pay machines and ATM of today

Seeing people in the news industry say that articles should be AI-generated is absolutely bonkers and the antithesis of why so many of us became journalists in the first placeβ€”because we aspired to the art of reporting AND writing. I will never release AI slop under my byline.

Now that AI isn't copyrightable, it's now legally okay to steal someone's AI art, not change it and call it your own. But AI bros are clever and have avoided this problem by never having produced anything worth stealing.

With all respect, I think, Euronews, that when you talk about liberating from attachment to US systems, it may be as well that you at the same time don't advertise US systems like this so-called "Artificial Intelligence" which is neither intelligent nor very useful.

Europe needs to roll up its sleeves, or it risks losing its last bit of independence to US-controlled payment schemes. As the first EU instant payment system, WERO aims to become Europe’s ticket to payment autonomy. #EuXl

Apple geoblocking downloads of ByteDance-owned apps in the US - 9to5Mac Apple is blocking US users from downloading or updating several ByteDance-owned apps, even when they have a valid Chinese App Store account.

For once, I agree with Apple:

All ByteDance is _infested_ with AI; everything that was free and good about ByteDance is now cluttered & has privacy issues:

<<Apple is geo-blocking US..users from downloading..ByteDance [incl] TikTok.., Capcut, Lemon8, Lark, and Hypic.
