I would never have guessed that we"d be able to make Idiocracy look like a documentary in my lifetime. What a spectacular decline.

on South Korea gives 400 stalking victims app to track their stalkers in real time in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Sep 2026
I imagine it makes beeping noises and displays a blip on a radar display like the proximity devices in alien movies. Shudders.

on Cachyos is a gaming linux distro made in Germany🇩🇪 in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk · 6 Sep 2026
I’m using it for a few months now. Coming from Kubuntu, I noticed that everything seems much faster/more responsive.Love it. Its not a pure gaming distro though. It’s arch-based, but with easy install and configuration, you have access to the whole Arch repo.
And of course as a bonus I can now unironically say "I use arch by the way*

on Nvidia is buying Hugging Face for almost $13 billion in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
There’s a conflict of interests in there. Nvidia is heavily tied to OpenAI, Anthropic and the US government. The mostly chinese models hosted on huggingface are direct competitors and viewed as enemy tech by the US government.This is going to be a massive shitshow. Probably starts with banning de-censored versions of the models from the platform.

on AI industry says Trump plans to tax chips in the “single dumbest way imaginable” in c/technology@lemmy.world · 28 Aug 2026
My bet is on exactly that being the plan. Stocks go down, tech companies pay to bribe him, next Tuesday a reversal of tariff plans, stocks go up, rich people make more money. Rinse, repeat

Well, like you said that’s basically the corporations fault. They push “AI” everywhere and AI in the media is 100% LLMs and other GenAI. I wouldn’t blame the public for not knowing the difference. Those data centers aren’t built to cure cancer, but to cause it. Figuratively and literally.

LLMs don’t cure cancer. That’s the kind of AI everyone refers to these days. Not ML projects.

on Db admin, cloud admin, printers, more for $110k. in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 19 Aug 2026
Would be an OK salary for most of Europe. Most countries here have relatively solid health care insurance, affordable education and a pension fund included, so that some of the biggest costs of living in the US don’t even make a dent in the salary.

on I don't enjoy the Internet any more in c/technology@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026
YouTube paid by the time people actually watched the videos in the past (as far as I know this changed recently) so there was a real incentive for Youtubers to add a lot of worthless filler to the videos

yw, also subscribing to the people providing good content should help too. Most of my feed is from subscriptions, with related content inbetween

I’m not encouraging you to use YouTube, but if you do, marking stuff you aren’t interested in and removing every slop video from your watch history can help a lot. The YouTube algorithm very rarely recommends slop to me

on Young people increasingly don't trust AI - or the billionaires that keep telling us we should all love AI, survey finds in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
Possible, but they would more likely see more false positives depending on how suspicious they are… like when people suspected images to be photoshopped in the past.

Indeed. The average person seems to need instagram, whatsapp and xitter to fill their meaningless little isolated lives with distractions to feel… something. However on a more positive note, once people get suspicious about AI slop they tend to notice the slop patterns more easily, which is a good development. It’s something that can’t be unseen.

on Why Is Everyone In Tech So Sad? in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
AI fits very well into the “Workism” narrative. As LLMs generate the statistical medium of all the training data it has, the output is mediocre by design. That makes it an excellent tool for bullshit work, like creating an email summary of a meeting that no one will ever read, and countless other mindless and useless daily chores of the “knowledge worker”.
But the basic premise hasn’t moved an inch with AI. If you have a job which rewards creativity and needs you to develop new ideas, solve hard problems etc. then AI doesn’t do shit for you. AI gives mediocre answers to mediocre people. It’s not creative at all. It spits out the average of the sum of its training data points. If your job consists mostly of doing mindless chores then it is not a good job anyway. Nothing to be proud of, not a career, just a job.
