I don’t think they’re the same. I’ve been working with machine learning for 15 years, my dude.

I’m talking about ad slop and enshittifed search. If your LLM model is a black box with 10% error rate, you might be shitty on a number of levels.

This dot com level FOMO over Cloud Clippy.

“AI” is wholly unnecessary for Link Preview. If your settings are too obtuse for your users of all demographics, your UX is failing

So you do believe that users are not intelligent enough to know what they want, got it.

Users that want AI slop will opt in. That’s literally the point, they will seek it out.

Making opt in the default is not ethical.

This does not refute my point at all. Fact is, this is an unwanted “feature” that isn’t useful enough to get adopted without forcing it down users’ throats. Enshittification, pure and simple.

Consumer choice is a ‘wasted resource?’ The arrogance here is astounding. Basically saying “our product is too shitty to present a good value prop, but if we make it hard enough to avoid, it’ll work. Our customers are too dumb to understand.”

Yeah, that’s the problem. How is opt out more reliable in any sense? Opt in is “non-existent” because user xp is NOT more important than forcing unwanted enshittification to these companies.

What the fuck does this even mean? If user choice is choice is the center of design, AI and other features would be opt in only.

If you understood, this conversation wouldn’t be occurring my dude.

Then why is complete opt coming after the fact?

Your actions don’t match you rhetoric.

Utterly disgraceful guys.

My favorite things to ask the vendors pitching their bs:

“How did this pass model risk governance?”

“How can I trust a model that gives different outputs to the same input?”

“Explain how this is different than the machine learning we’ve used for decades?”

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.”

Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

Hi! Fix your audio drivers and Armoury crate is a horror show.
