We gain by generating counter-slop? Wtf are you on about.

Anybody with a half a braincell can see the detrimental impact AI is having on social media & internet content generally. It's not astro turfing, it's just constantly dealing with generated nonsense that's causing the hate.

People who are more susceptible to manipulation, which unfortunately seems to be right-leaning folks, seem to fall victim into believing & spreading it the most. They rarely do any form of fact checking.

This seems like bullshit to me. The UK sector I work in, 68,000 jobs were lost due to back in 2023. They all quoted the same rubbish as "simplifying operations using AI".

My company has admitted this year they got it wrong and have backtracked.

Most likely the reason, among others, they're fighting tooth & nail to remove side loading too.

Surely the false personation laws would apply here then?

They modified the out-of-office message to distribute a factually inaccurate statement, by using the shutdown recipient's voice & inbound mail feed.

A security nightmare waiting to happen.

Of course not. Implies they do their jobs properly.

Wrote a email to my MP for this exact reason.

The OSA needs repealing. All it's doing is either teaching people to follow poor digital hygiene practices, or forcing people to follow more risky methods of bypassing the OSA controls.

Whole guise of child safety is laughable when they've made zero attempts to educate everyone (not just kids) on being safe online.

WTF you on about? Firefox has the NoScript extension, which Mozilla recommends?

[–] NocturnalEngineer@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

This is concerning.

I have questions...

What was Meta's defense for a social media site to need sensitive sexual and reproductive health data?

And if Flo was UK based, surely that data should have been covered by GDPR. How was Meta a partner with legitimate interest to PII data?

Or you could sacrifice yourself, you murderous bastard.

There has to be a special breed of fucked up to become an ICE agent.
