Something kind of amusing about a seed company going on and on about non GMO and legacy and human touch and then having an AI bot

I take it back, here’s a good use for AI.
"A woman dressed as a pink Power Ranger hacked a dating site for far-right extremists. She deleted the entire site, but first she made users fall in love with AI bots she ran, thus obtaining information about them. Over 8,000 far-right profiles have now been mapped."
En kvinna, utklädd till rosa Power Ranger, hackade datingsida för högerextrema. Hon raderade hela sidan, men först fick hon användarna att bli kära i AI-botar som hon drev och fick på så sätt ut information om dem. Över 8000 högerextrema profiler har nu kartlagts.

In case this is of use to anyone—COVID symptoms have changed quite a bit. It ripped through 3/5 of my house and ruined Christmas and winter break. Symptoms: vaguely sore throat and sneezing/weirdly tingly nose for two days before a positive test. Pressure headaches. Mild aches first day.

Almost like it’s a plan
What amazes me is how quickly people are losing either the confidence or the willingness to complete basic human tasks.

😒 this article is trying to frame the dislike for AI as irrational rather than telling the truth that people hate AI because its obvious that companies would rather burn trillions of dollars on a solution looking for a problem than pay people better wages all while selling bullshit.
You know this article isn’t in any way comprehensive because it doesn’t mention bluesky once.

I’ve always chafed a bit at this too. While most mean it in a positive way in regular conversation with me, I think it disempowers self-ID’d “normies” who would otherwise speak up or act because of derogatory connotation.
being a part of this has given me a lot of hope. But i object to the people involved being labeled “activists”. They’re just neighbors. “Activist” is only ever applied to leftists as a way to make them seem less normal. These people are normie AF.

Famed documentarian, journalist, filmmaker, and rock n roll expert, sweet. That was the last one I finished. The one I’m reading now would be famed artist, poet, and rock star. Can’t go wrong with either.

Is there anything ai isn’t driving up cost and demand and stress for?
Demand for memory chips currently exceeds supply and there's very little chance of that changing any time soon. More chips for AI means less available for other products such as computers and phones and that could drive up those prices too. n.pr/49aDwVE
