Bamboo looks way better than blackberry, I made sure to plant a ton of it in various parts of my yard.

I think they’re talking about “Here We Go”

Did you contribute to OSM to make the maps better for you and everyone else?

My area had nothing a couple of years ago. But I started contributing every week or so and it’s filled out nicely, and some other people started doing the same. It’s more accurate than Google Maps in my area now.

Molly is on fdroid I believe

I love micromapping, it’s strangely relaxing.

Yep, deflock is basically just a view for OSM. They have a guide on how to submit without their app here, which utilizes OSM: https://deflock.org/report/id

Europe has actual alternatives to driving. Most of the US doesn’t have that (intentionally because of GM & Ford lobbies)

Their search was already trash, this will only make it worse

I suppose, but does the general public know that? I doubt most do. I’d continue to argue that the slop companies know that the public has no idea of the difference and use that to their advantage. To most, it implies that it’s more than just an LLM firing based on conditions met (basically just automation) or more than just an LLM ingesting results from a prior run. That is why I hate the term, and what I’m trying to say. It’s all part of the calculated grift; it’s another term that the slop companies abuse for their own gain (especially in marketing, line goes up if you can use “AI agents” in your marketing, even if no one is buying).

A “loop” does not equate to agency. I’m not even saying this in just philosophical terms, I’m saying that even with that “loop”, it’s not agency in any sense, technical or philosophical. It’s a marketing term for the masses, not something that LLMs actually have.

In this case, it’s more like “I call anything I dislike AI except for my AI data center”

Depends on how you’re defining agency. When it comes down to it, it’s all I/O with no human-style agency, which is what “agentic AI” implies to your average stock market investor. It’s a way to imply AGI without actually getting to AGI, a CYA move from slop companies.

Researchers from Adversa.AI have discovered an issue

While it might be true that LLMs could help fuel something like that, this is coming from an “AI agent” security company and is just an ad for their platform. I also strongly dislike the use of the whole “agent” bs which makes it sound like LLMs can do more than they actually can.

Everything around Mythos is just a huge ad for Anthropic. Most of the bugs “found” weren’t even from Mythos, they were found by Opus.

It was actually in stock a few minutes before 10AM pacific, I was able to snag one at 9:58.

I avoid slop code like yours because typically the user of the slop generator has no real idea of how things actually work, the slop is over-“engineered”, and it’s likely full of security issues. Further, it also wastes tons of resources just for poorly written slop.

I especially wouldn’t ever touch your cryptographic slop.

To be clear, this is only for passports from the DC passport office, no other passports will have the pedo in chief on them.

I agree when it comes to most “smart” home devices. However, I wired an ESP32 to my heat pump for remote control and automation, which has been absolutely fantastic. Also, I use a ton of ZigBee and zwave, since those are not “smart” by themselves and are local-only.

It’s the cloud bullshit that always breaks and spies on users that I hate.

pulls information from smartphone apps in order to let state investigators identify the location of mobile devices.

They aren’t using cell tower data, if that’s what you mean. I’m guessing that unless you degoogle, your first suggestion won’t do too much.

Into the trash, then.
