Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 21/09/2026All the new production of memory chips in the world is earmarked for AI data centers, driving up the price of new phones. But just in case you thought you were allowed to stick with your old phone, here is 30GB of big steaming shit you can't get rid of.Gwen Pearson@bug-gwen.bsky.socialJust encouraging all Mac users to contact Apple and tell them it's BS that Siri and Apple intelligence can no longer be fully disabled in the latest update (OS27). Reports vary by device, but between 10G and 30G of AI garbage models downloading. I just wiped and will be staying with 26 for a while 😡1:49 PM · Sep 21, 2026 2375
Toronto Will @torontowill.bsky.social · 21/09/2026↪ Replying to @spavel.bsky.socialThey already did this on the iPad version of iOS. Even with Apple Intelligence fully disabled (never ever enabled) you can see it hogging space in the storage view. 000
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Anything you share with one person can now become a dataset for someone else's AI agent to mine, without so much as a heads up, because the "human in the loop" doesn't give a shit about ethics.Nicole Bedera@nbedera.bsky.socialWhile digging around their website, I found their ethics policy—including a section on AI-generated content. I suspect that’s a part of what happened here. And I’m upset about that too! I did NOT speak to a journalist with the assumption that my interview would be funneled into producing AI slop. 0256
