L’argument du “yen a qui font pire tfaçon” m’insupporte aussi. ET j’ai envie de croire au systémique, à l’inspiration qu’on donne en montrant aussi un comportement positif.
FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies
What do SourceHut, GNOME’s GitLab, and KDE’s GitLab have in common, other than all three of them being forges? Well, it turns out all three of them have been dealing with immense amounts of traffic from “AI” scrapers, who are effectively performing DDoS attacks with such ferocity it’s bringing down the infrastructures of these major open source projects. Being open source, and thus publicly accessible, means these scrapers have … ⌘ Read more

Google, DuckDuckGo massively expand “AI” search results
Clearly, online search isn’t bad enough yet, so Google is intensifying its efforts to continue speedrunning the downfall of Google Search. They’ve announced they’re going to show even more “AI”-generated answers in Search results, to more people. Today, we’re sharing that we’ve launched Gemini 2.0 for AI Overviews in the U.S. to help with harder questions, starting with coding, advanced math and multimodal queries, with mor … ⌘ Read more

Mozilla once again confirms it’s all about ads and “AI” now
We’ve recognized that Mozilla faces major headwinds in terms of both financial growth and mission impact. While Firefox remains the core of what we do, we also need to take steps to diversify: investing in privacy-respecting advertising to grow new revenue in the near term; developing trustworthy, open source AI to ensure technical and product relevance in the mid term; and creating online fundraising campaigns that … ⌘ Read more
The generative AI con
Everywhere you look, the media is telling you that OpenAI and their ilk are the future, that they’re building “advanced artificial intelligence” that can take “human-like actions,” but when you look at any of this shit for more than two seconds it’s abundantly clear that it absolutely isn’t and absolutely can’t. Despite the hype, the marketing, the tens of thousands of media articles, the trillions of dollars in market capitalization, none of this feels real, or at least real enough to s … ⌘ Read more

After that date, Pins will “no longer connect to Humane’s servers.” As a result, AI Pin features will “no longer include calling, messaging, A … ⌘ Read more

@andros The article is a good reminder of the true blogging mindset. But let's try to think beyond. 2 ideas: (1) writing "forces clarity, structures your thoughts, sharpens your perspective". But it also generates thoughts in the sense of Heinrich von Kleist (1805). (2) You're writing for "the future you, one right person, one day" but you are also writing for the AI. The idea of AI as an audience.
