on No AI until high school: NYC mayor Mamdani imposes 1 year ban on AI for schools through 8th grade in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5 Sep 2026
Expecting “individualized” education from a technology known for being abused in sloppy ways, for being non-deterministic to the point it’s producing NSFL content if it doesn’t have safeguards, and that hallucinates inaccurate information while being controlled by the most powerful sociopaths in the world then…
Yeah. That’s a reasonable expectation and not unsafe at all my dude. /s

on ArsTechnica: Ads and tracking infiltrated TVs. Now they’re coming for monitors. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
Because almost every aspect of the modern high-tech industry is an oligopoly. No small-time maker could even hope to compete with big brands like Samsung, Asus, Intel, AMD or Nvidia even if they had decades worth of credit to catch up due to how the current system reinforces “first past the goalpost” advantage.
Malicious tech is not something you “vote with your wallet” against. That’s neoliberal copium and propaganda.
States need to step in, regulate and control makes of digital goods and services. Unfortunately, we have the reverse going on right now.

Now search for Roblox child exploitation on YouTube to watch a 30min dive that will make your soul weep. Whiskey optional.

on Meta Ran Ads for an App That Promised to Nudify Female Politicians in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
You have no idea how convoluted and over engineered the ad serving tech is on Facebook/Meta. It’s basically an arms race against ad blockers.
Unless I’m mistaken, Ublock Origin recently admitted that they basically just can’t allocate resource trying to fight Facebook’s ad system.

on Could AI create a ‘permanent underclass’? in c/technology@lemmy.world · 18 Aug 2026
You have it wrong, people don’t despire nor are envious of your success.
People are just aware of this kind of “rags to riches (or just middle class)” transition based on hard work is the exception, not the rule. Countless people work as hard as you did, maybe more, and yet will see almost no improvement in their socioeconomic class.
More importantly this “success story” is so often used by capitalism and neoliberal supporters as “evidence” that “system works” and all you need to do is work hard. Which is, frankly put, just propaganda when we can all see that the main statistical factor for becoming rich is just how rich your parents already were.

on Separate tech and capital: Schneier on AI's two kinds of problems in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Absolutely. AI (at least the LLM, generative style we all know these days) is basically a force multiplier.
It’s just that the force vector we have right now is (self)destructive.

on Separate tech and capital: Schneier on AI's two kinds of problems in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
Typa shit that neoliberal asshats write to defend and whitewash billionaires.
Yes tech is tech, but the form it takes is, in part, defined by our system and needs.
The current state of AI industries for example would be vastly different if we didn’t have both world governments and financial institutions bending over backwards to give them credit while techbros also have the accumulated capital from the last two crisis due to governments failed to regulate and punish sufficiently.

on 2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
SODIMM ram is still cheap. You could build them a ddr4 intel system with integrated graphics (ideally Arc cores or plenty of EUs) that will run some older or simpler games at 40-60fps with a little upscaling, and the whole thing could be done for 500-700 I reckon.
Either that or maybe build an AM4 if you find a used GPU at a good price.
Point A) I’ve tried less frequent “yes” swipes and overall match rate was about the same.
Point B) calling people “low value” sounds like disgusting incel-speech and I think we should all avoid it and embrace the different qualities and virtues we all have.
