I appreciate that you embarked on this project. Thank you for taking that risk!
The fact that all of the European Commission cannot find an agency to own it and continue maintaining it is unfathomable.
Especially in the context of how digital sovereignty gets so much lip-service from the Commission.
EC's priorities seem upside-down.

Plus, the Threads-promoted logo looks like a goatse. There, I said it.

So I guess "telling if something is a photograph" is also the same as "criticizing people who can't paint"? :blobcatcoffee:

Instead of to figure out if an image was "AI"-generated?

These systems make mistakes all the time. These mistakes have real consequences to those flagged.
Those with power know this, so they will never allow themselves to be subject to such treatment.
Nobody even *dares* propose an "AI-driven" system to flag potential sexual predators among white frat boys or Catholic priests.
Or an automatic, algorithmic system for flagging potentially corrupt politicians.
But poor families and Brown people? Sure, why not.

Somehow, algorithmic (and especially "AI-driven") decision making tends to only be proposed in contexts where it can only — or mostly — affect those with the least power in the system.
Migrants and asylum seekers.
Prisoners.
Families using any form of state support (child benefits, foodstamps, etc).
Palestinians in Gaza.It somehow never gets proposed for use-cases where it might affect the wealthy and powerful.
One wonders why. 🤔

I just want a search engine that works. I have zero need for a godawful "AI" hallucinating mansplainer in my results. Just… no.
Time to move off of DDG. What else is out there?
Edit: yes, it seems to be for real:

It's a thing where you *dodge* all the cryptocurrency bullshit, thus not losing your money just so that some longtermist con artist can get uber-rich.

It's not like a bunch of people are scrambling to try and make sense of all this right now, or that specific commits got linked to directly from media and blogposts and the like. :blobcatcoffee:
Cool, cool. :blobcatfingerguns:

They are teaching a whole generation of Web users:
1. never to click on the default button;
2. to always be suspicious of intentions of anything online.

Telegram’s peer-to-peer SMS login service is a privacy nightmare
https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/25/telegrams-peer-to-peer-sms-login-service-is-a-privacy-nightmare/*sigh*
Stop using #Telegram. Seriously.
Telegram uses confusing language to pretend it is end-to-end encrypted by default. It is not — you have to enable that separately for each chat, and it *only* works for one-on-ones, not groups.
Telegram's protocol design is sus af (that's a technical term), and that's putting real people in real danger:

But at least in this tooter's opinion, boiling it down to a protocol or technical interoperability does not cut it.
