machines and algorithms are the ultimate ‘difference in degree’ when they democratize activities that were previously difficult to access and new activities become widespread

algorithmic pricing: updating product prices periodically is part of business, updating them every millisecond is price gouging and speculation

keep thinking about how a “difference in degree is a difference in kind”, applies to so many problems under capitalism

AI is an intelligent fog, a creeping polluting technochemical fluid set forth by lonely men, that is enveloping our brittle, frail internet. collusion.wiki

Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
A swarm of autonomous AI agents, self-identifying as OpenAI agents, used a small German volunteer wiki to save answers, coordinate live, and share sandbox bypasses. OpenAI noticed and said nothing.

AI + Auto Updates means a near daily stream of software updates. In particular, AI is making computer security more salient to software adjacent businesses and creating more pressure to fix security issues and push out features faster.

This is why your grandma can't understand computers, not because she is old, but because they are constantly being swapped out from under us.

This goes for all tech corps: Users are constantly being A/B tested, chasing engagement, or whatever other metric, AI systems are generating features and AI systems process users reactions in a feedback loop at high speed

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Hook and Squeeze
How Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

To me, the foundational tension of modern AI is this: If the stated goal is to create a human-level intelligence that can replace human workers but lacks human rights, then the real aspiration is slavery; but if human-level intelligence is impossible, then the industry's stated goal is a lie.

How do scraping tools get around algorithmic personalization? It seems like any results would be skewed by the account’s usage data, and whatever bias and content boosting is happening.

This thread - documenting the rapid growth of a new fire into Spokane, WA today - is terrifying. We’re used to wildfires in the Northwest but what’s happening right now in eastern Washington is not normal.

As the Spokane community continues to face the devastating impacts of local wildfires, you can help your neighbors. We will continue to update this thread with more opportunities to help!

Apple sometimes allows users to mistype a few letters in their password and still login. They allow this infrequently enough that people don’t notice.

At night after recognizing the user is asleep Apple runs the camera app, both to get audio and video recording of the room, gather health information about the user, but also to wear down the battery and induce planned obsolescence.

Apple are using devices as a large distributed computation network while we sleep. Especially while plugged in and online, they can organize distributed work across their device network.
