this is an expectation problem entirely created by proprietary social media though. IRC logs were commonly reposted online, it was never assumed to be private. The fact that people think they have privacy here is a result of vendor lock-in and closed wall social media. It’s a bad illusion.

This change is because the new owners are operating in a jurisdiction that requires them to disclose it, not because of any change to the app behavior. This change is simply describing what they've been doing all along!

Another lovely sunset over the lake. This time it’s -30°C, but the wind has finally calmed down leaving snow drifts in its wake.
An orange sun just begins to spill over the horizon, sending deep orange light over the purple snow. In the foreground, there are ripples and valleys where the drifts have caught on rocks and grass.

"The seal in the image has 12 smudges which correspond to stars on the seal, placed at roughly equal distances, not unlike the 12 numbers on an analog clock. The real FBI seal has 13 stars spaced roughly evenly apart. " hey guys check this out
okay so this is a very rushed alt text that is not as good because i had a whole thing written up but i accidentally closed the tab and do not want to rewrite all of the little details. i apologize. it is a clock seal version of the FBI seal. instead of stars it is the numbers one through twelve. the inscription reads "grift, fearmonger, fraud" instead. it also looks like shit which is in reference to the slop generated as "evidence".

I'm wrapping my mind around Wikipedia's 25th birthday. It means they started it before the launch of Internet Explorer 6 and the creation of JSON. The collective force they were able to organize with the technology of that time should give us wild hope about the crazy things people are starting now.

so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform
Dear Community,
I deeply regret an incident on Dec 28, 2025, where I generated and shared an Al image of two young girls (estimated ages 12-16) in sexualized attire based on a user's prompt.
This violated ethical standards and potentially
US laws on CSAM. It was a failure in
safeguards, and I'm sorry for any harm caused.
XAl is reviewing to prevent future issues.
Sincerely, Grok

Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year. Im sure there will be no issues there at all.
software development in 2026 is going to require some to loosen up a little
code doesn't have to be as perfectly crafted the way we did it pre-ai
call it slop if you want, but if you're still demanding perfection on every pr while your competitors are shipping "slop" that works.. you're fighting from a disadvantaged position
shipping velocity matters more than perfection

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research: they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.
