In the 15+ years people have been promoting blockchains, this flowchart remains undefeated.

"Den danske stat står i et nyt milliardudbud til at indkøbe software-licenser og søsætter for første gang et samlet storindkøb af cloud-løsninger. Men det kan være problematisk i en tid, hvor man vil frigøre sig fra amerikanske tech-giganter, lyder det fra ekspert."

Hvad er det #dkpol ikke har forstået?

I've seldom seen a meme capture an entire ideology this well. Kudos.

An instance of the white woman reconsidering meme. Text on top reads: "Libertarians be like:". The woman is disgusted by "tyranny.gov" but intrigued by "tyranny.com"

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

#bash #bashscript #echo #foss #linux #unix #BlackHistoryMonth #gnu

He is heavier set and wearing a black t-shirt with his arms folded. He was born in 1959 and is a GNU hacker, programmer, entrepreneur, consultant, author, and free software advocate.

Tesla CEO now spending all his time supporting hateful ideology worldwide.

His political ambitions and projects, such as the election lottery and Twitter acquisition, are funded through loans on his Tesla stock.

If you’re buying a Tesla or charging at a Supercharger you’re financially supporting these efforts.

Sabot in the Age of AI

Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.

🔻 iocaine
The deadliest AI poison—iocaine generates garbage rather than slowing crawlers.
🔗 git.madhouse-project.org/alger

🔻 Nepenthes
A tarpit designed to catch web crawlers, especially those scraping for LLMs. It devours anything that gets too close. @aaron
🔗 zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/

🔻 Quixotic
Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. @marcusb
🔗 marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.htm

🔻 Poison the WeLLMs
A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. @mike
🔗 codeberg.org/MikeCoats/poison-

🔻 Django-llm-poison
A django app that poisons content when served to #AI bots. @Fingel
🔗 github.com/Fingel/django-llm-p

🔻 KonterfAI
A model poisoner that generates nonsense content to degenerate LLMs.
🔗 codeberg.org/konterfai/konterf

iocaine > The deadliest poison known to AI. This is a tarpit, modeled after Nepenthes, intended to catch unwelcome web crawlers, but with a slightly different, more aggressive intended usage scenario. The core idea is to configure a reverse proxy to serve content generated by iocaine to AI crawlers, but normal content to every other visitor. This differs from Nepenthes, where the idea is to link to it, and trap crawlers that way. Not with iocaine, where the trap is laid by the reverse proxy. iocaine does not try to slow crawlers. It does not try to waste their time that way - that is left up to the reverse proxy. iocaine is purely about generating garbage.

This is useful information for Microsoft 365 subscribers. The notification I got about the price rise said nothing about them bundling AI into the new price. And certainly nothing about the option of sticking with the old plan & price, without AI.

Ja då kör vi hörni woop woop!

Tintin och Haddock helt suddiga och paj
Man som skriker förvirrat
Man vid dator med texten "man returns to work after vacation with fresh, reenergized hatred for job".
Affisch med rubriken "håll ett möte!" Om man har tråkigt att jobba ensam och hatar att ta beslut så kan man träffa människor, rita på tavlan, känna sig viktig, åstadkomma nada, stjäla andras tid, skapa förvirring och planera ett till möte på betald arbetstid!

@tbridge This looks like a great opportunity! And good timing, I can imagine, with a hopefully stress free Christmas and new year ahead 😊 Enjoy the break with the family 🎄

“This was his first trip to the tropics, a thing he’d been wanting to do all his life… and now he was going to die from it, or at least permanently crippled. “

The Curse of Lono, Hunter S. Thompson & Ralph Steadman, 1983

Rules of the game:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Turn to page 42
- Find the 2nd sentence
- Post the sentence in a toot with the hashtag & write the rules as a comment to it
- Don't look for your favourite, coolest or wittiest book. Go for the closest.

Please don't tell me what feature you are adding #ai to now 😅

Two school students in a music classroom, one standing against the wall the other with a tuba with the bell facing the other students head completely covering it. The text is at the top "unwanted ai", then "me"over the student that is completely overwhelmed with noise from the tuba, "every company" for the student holding the tuba.

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
