The EU wants to decrypt your private data by 2030 The EU Commission unveiled the first step in its security strategy to ensure "lawful and effective" law enforcement access to data

Oh we’re back on this shit again

There should be a float that lists all the companies who are cowards while playing Beck’s Loser.

Oh great a reply guy large language model

Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?” Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.” Snowy is very excited about the drink he has found.

There’s been so many days in a row lately

Why is every search for "xyz library alternative" come up with a dev dot to or Medium article titled "I made the best library ever, it's SO MUCH better that regular library."

And I look up the library and it has been abandoned for years.

This is how AI gets you. First it starts with flattery. 🤔

Shifting my mentality in this way was probably the single biggest thing that led to a lot of growth for me as a developer. It’s insane how many doors one misses by being stuck in the Imposter syndrome headspace.

I’m a throw everything, until I realize that I didn’t pack enough clothes so then I get forced to organize what’s still wearable. 🫠

I do think both you guys have really fair takes, and honestly, I wish it was like that too.

I agree as well, I think if anything we’re all just a little frustrated given the current state of legal enforcement against major corporations. But the fact of the matter is, if info is out there, it can be replicated even beyond what our intentions and controls are and we do have to accept it.

I’m not saying it’s a good thing that massive companies are leveraging our public data to train models that which they then profit of, but the biggest step one can take is just putting that content not out there to begin with. If there’s no data, there’s nothing to scrape.

A) I’m just gonna pretend that you didn’t go for name calling there & take your response at face value
B) You want to explain these methods to stop web scraping? Because those can be likely completely bypassed using tools like Selenium. And believe me when I say this, model trainers are using them.

It only gets compounded too when you’re unsure if it’s a missed requirement, a bug, or PEBKAC. 😵

I mean this is always going to happen. That’s just the nature of a public space. If you don’t want people to leverage publicly accessible content, why post it publicly? If I say something outside and someone copies me, like what am I gonna do, tell them not to say it lol?

funny how people are getting bent about bluesky's public data APIs being used for AI training

public data is.... public.... data

if you dont want your data to be...public, don't make it... public

Frame from The Simpsons where everyone turns around to look at Bart after a bad take.

“Can we get a Christmas bonus?”

Users who provide crappy feedback. (Like “this is broken”, ok like how though 😩)

Too real. We all got enough shit to deal with day to day. A virtual blocklist should be like the bottom priority for any sane person lol.

Remember. Nuance isn’t cool anymore. 😂

LG ThinQ app notification that just says “Time’s up.”

What an ominous notification? Like, is LG coming for me now? 👀

Sounds efficient. I expect nothing less from the Head of DOGE. 😎

This just in! Publicly available service can be scraped!

I think it’ll likely settle into predominately “western values” with sub-groups/communities each enforcing their own values within them. Kinda like what the @blacksky.app has done, they have 0 tolerance for anti-black racism especially.

The lists feature here is definitely a banger. Huge fan. 😎

What “stings”? Woof. Yeah there definitely is no point in having any discussion with you. Wishing you the best.

I’m an AppleCare YOLO kinda person. 😎
