I kind of don’t mind if the model’s training on data about how much it fucking sucks, though David and Amy might feel different. pivot-to-ai’s still brand new, and I know they’ve still got plenty of post-launch basics left to set up.
there’s also other, less-ignorable countermeasures than robots.txt available
I’m taking it as a positive sign that the Proton story’s gaining traction, as it should. this thing is a massive fucking security risk and a bad sign of things to come for Proton, and more people should be talking about it.
but between the dishonesty on Proton’s part about the survey and the types of accounts that’ve come out of the woodwork to unabashedly support this trainwreck of a feature (the pattern’s especially clear on mastodon), boy, there’s a lot of stank on this one
god, the pure fucking dark pattern of the option that leaks plaintext being the default, with a description that’s only its upsides, while the local option sounds quite a bit shit in comparison
also, I keep meaning to ask: does this “free for 14 days” trial auto-renew? cause that’s a real shitty dark pattern too if interacting with the feature starts your subscription. in fact, isn’t that illegal in some jurisdictions?
fucking incredible, you managed to cherry pick some of the few sentences in the article that don’t use the words “AI” or “LLM”! good for you, you exhausting motherfucker
have any of your coworkers come back from re:invent with the all of the symptoms of severe head trauma? you may be entitled to compensation
they go to re:invent or whatever the one is where Amazon replaces your brain with a cloud, and they’re pretty sure Amplify is self-hosting because the guy with the headset on stage might have screamed it at them
it’s time for you to fuck off back to your self-hosted services that surely aren’t just a stack of constantly broken docker containers running on an old Dell in your closet
but wait, what’s this?

oh you poor fucking baby, you couldn’t figure out how to self-host lemmy! and it’s so easy compared with mail too! so much for common sense!
And some AI companies like Perplexity just shout “YOLO” and try to stealth-crawl it anyway. [404 Media; Wired]
it’s fucking wild that automated scraping without permission used to be something you did as a last resort under strict restrictions and secrecy, cause whoever had the data you needed wasn’t exposing a usable API. but not in the AI industry, there it’s the fucking foundation of the entire company
aw, it’s only a community? that’s what I get for expecting anything but garbage from Oscar the Grouch I suppose
wait a minute… there’s another “fuck ai” instance and they’ve already told you to go fuck yourself?
I wonder if they want to be friends
it’s an article about a poorly-designed feature that doesn’t accomplish any of its marketed goals and was hoisted upon Proton’s users in spite of their objections
this is an article about AI
the closet Dell hosting your services is a fine system (but do fix those broken docker containers, or see about going native). under no circumstances should it be your mail host, though.
