Bluesky Social has seen record levels of user signups after the Brazilian Communist Party banned Twitter.
techcrunch.com/2024/08/31/bluesky-tops-app-charts-and-sees-all-time-highs-after-brazil-bans-x/
The depravity here is threefold:
First, a psychotic judge in Brazil violated the country's laws in pursuit of violating the country's laws some more.
Second, the banning of Twitter only rated an "in brief" item on Tech Crunch, while this full article is spinning it as a win for a favoured site (as in, not connected to Emmanuel Goldstein).
Third, this message from Bluesky's CEO:
>good job Brazil, you made the right choice
bsky.app/profile/jay.bsky.team/post/3l325p7rz6d2q
This is rather like a sheep congratulating a wolf on choosing to eat another sheep and not, well, themselves.

The second season of Amazon's half-billion-dollar train wreck The Rings of Power is going to be even worse than the first.

Star Wars Outlaws is complete disaster of a game that will end with the studio being closed and everyone who worked on it looking for employment in the fast food industry.

Why AI can't spell "strawberry".
techcrunch.com/2024/08/27/why-ai-cant-spell-strawberry/
I've said before that what we are currently calling AI models, which is really just Large Language Models or LLMs, don't understand anything at all except language. They're language models. That's what they do, and it's all they do.
Except that's not quite true, because they don't understand language in any real way either.
>The failure of large language models to understand the concepts of letters and syllables is indicative of a larger truth that we often forget: These things don't have brains. They do not think like we do. They are not human, nor even particularly humanlike.
>Most LLMs are built on transformers, a kind of deep learning architecture. Transformer models break text into tokens, which can be full words, syllables, or letters, depending on the model.
>"LLMs are based on this transformer architecture, which notably is not actually reading text. What happens when you input a prompt is that it's translated into an encoding," Matthew Guzdial, an AI researcher and assistant professor at the University of Alberta, told TechCrunch. "When it sees the word 'the,' it has this one encoding of what 'the' means, but it does not know about 'T,' 'H,' 'E.'"
Typeahead with delusions of grandeur.

AMD is buying server manufacturer ZT Systems for $4.9 billion.
servethehome.com/amd-buys-zt-systems-in-a-surprise-move/
ZT Systems is one of those surprisingly big companies you've never heard of. Been around for 30 years, sells $10 billion worth of servers a year, completely under everyone's radar.
AMD plans to buy them, split the engineering team from the manufacturing business, and then sell the manufacturing part to one of the even larger competitors.

Lots of juicy details from that Google antitrust ruling.
theverge.com/24214574/google-antitrust-search-apple-microsoft-bing-ruling-breakdown
Google pays device makers enormous amounts of money to direct search requests to them. 20% of Apple's profits come directly from Google.
Estimates from the two companies suggest that it would cost Apple $20 billion in development costs and $6 billion per year in operating expenses to replace Google Search with its own platform, and when Google is paying you $20 billion a year not to do that the decision is pretty simple.
The only problem is that if you are deemed to have a monopoly, which doesn't necessarily mean an absolute monopoly, this is illegal.
Exactly what will happen is still anyone's guess, but Google has few friends on either side of the political aisle. Deemed insufficiently on board with the progressive side of the kosher sandwich, the company has burned every imaginable bridge on the conservative side, many of them twice.

AI needs high-quality human-generated data for training. That comes from the internet. But the internet is becoming increasingly overrun with AI-generated garbage. How screwed is future AI training? Absolutely fucked.
techcrunch.com/2024/07/24/model-collapse-scientists-warn-against-letting-ai-eat-its-own-tail/
>But the thing is, models gravitate toward the most common output. It won't give you a controversial snickerdoodle recipe but the most popular, ordinary one. And if you ask an image generator to make a picture of a dog, it won't give you a rare breed it only saw two pictures of in its training data; you'll probably get a golden retriever or a Lab.
>Now, combine these two things with the fact that the web is being overrun by AI-generated content and that new AI models are likely to be ingesting and training on that content. That means they're going to see a lot of goldens!
The paper in Nature is pretty technical.
nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07566-y
...and the supplementary content even more so, but in the Tech Crunch article there is an image that explains everything. In just four steps, the AI goes from a fairly representative idea of dogs to complete garbage.

I just watched a video of a baby boomer being interviewed where she talks about how she worked as a nurse, bought a house at 23 for 65,000 just by ‘saving up’ without any support, and how she now regularly buys and sells multi million dollar properties.
God I hate them.

The man who destroyed Wikipedia.
tracingwoodgrains.com/p/reliable-sources-how-wikipedia-admin
David Gerard, the man behind longtime lolcow dumpster fire RationalWiki, has also been systematically rotting away the credibility of Wikipedia for twenty years.
Everything bad you've seen from the terminally online leftoid, he represents, and he's been at it for longer than most. He has his good points - he hates blockchain, for example, but he hates it from a doctrinaire liberal perspective, not because of the specific and often astoundingly ill-considered technical decisions that make working with it an unending misery.

Microsoft has indefinitely delayed the release of its Recall spyware, but forgot to tell its marketing department.
tomshardware.com/software/windows/new-microsoft-ads-tout-unavailable-recall-feature-dont-mention-it-was-indefinitely-delayed-due-to-privacy-concerns
Ads for the new Copilot+ ARM laptops prominently feature the now nonexistent feature. Clearly the Prajeets who now run Microsoft forgot to tell the gays and catladies in marketing.
