If personal ai agents start spam calling businesses en mass to ask questions or try to make orders, I guarantee you many of those businesses will de-list their phone numbers; especially restaurants.

It will completely overload small businesses with needless dumb questions. These people who are pushing this have never worked a customer service job in their lives.

Meta rajasi juuri Facebookissa linkkien jakamisen kahteen per kuukausi.

Kenellekään ei pitäisi tulla yllätyksenä, että Internet ja some paskoontuu jatkuvasti. Se tapahtuu niin vaivihkaa, että valtaosa hyväksyy asian, eikä useampaa haittaa, että jatkossa esim. somen, appien tai palveluiden käyttäminen on "ilmaisversioina" todella rajallista.

Digitaalinen suvereniteetti on tärkeämpää kuin koskaan. Siksi suosittelen kaikille eurooppalaista, hajautettua ja itse hostattua vaihtoehtoa Big Techin sijaan.

Kochani, z przyjemnością informuję, że gównowacenie Facebooka weszło na zupełnie nowy level. W tej odsłonie Zuck wypisuje się z internetu, bo nie może być tak, żeby ludzie spontanicznie publikowali linki do obcych stron. Dwa na miesiąc mają wystarczyć! Ale to nie koniec!

Jesteście ciekawi, po ile są te subskrypcje? No więc podstawowa za 190 zł/miesiąc daje - uwaga - osiem linków miesięcznie! Jest też wariant esencyjny (Essential) za 58,99 zł w którym są tylko ucałowania dla Zuckerberga, wariant Ekspert za 559 zł a w nim 20 linków, lecz największym hiciorem będzie pakiet Max za 1900 zł/miesiąc a w nim "Nieograniczona liczba zgłoszeń z udziałem specjalistów z działu pomocy". Tak! Tak!!!

Oto po raz pierwszy "AI" będzie oznaczało "Actually Indian".

Mocna rzecz. Kibicuję tej internetowej secesji z całego serca!

Meta is disputing a journalist's claim that its Muse AI agent read his private Messages without permission. Meta says reading Messages is opt-in and requires Full Disk Access plus a Messages connector, several manual macOS steps. The journalist says Full Disk Access was off when it happened.

So what: don't grant AI agents Full Disk Access or Messages access, and review what you've allowed in System Settings > Privacy & Security.

Domani: L’Ia nell’era di Trump: ora i controllori sono i controllati

Alla Casa Bianca, il tycoon ha consegnato la tecnologia più potente del secolo alle aziende che ne incassano i profitti: OpenAi, Anthropic, Meta & co. È una follia: nessun paese democratico affida la sicurezza dei cittadini alla coscienza dei consigli di amministrazione. In pratica, l'America ha rinunciato a governare l'intelligenza artificiale

AI in the age of Trump: now the regulators are being regulated.

At the White House, the tycoon handed over the most powerful technology of the century to companies that reap its profits: OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta & co. It’s madness: no democratic country entrusts the safety of citizens to the conscience of boards of directors. In effect, America has relinquished control of artificial intelligence.

This is an act of war.

An Act of War. A foreign subversion of a sovereign state.

No idea what a proportional response should be.

Social media giant Meta pulled down Brazilian President Lula's Facebook page and blocked his campaign from running political ads but allows paid ads calling for a military coup

It also didn't take down any of the right-wing disinformation campaigns reported in August

How high would you say the "dial of sketchiness" is turned up to these days, for users on #Meta platforms like #Facebook, #Instagram, and #WhatsApp? #SocialMedia

The original story is paywalled. This follows the audacious move to poach MongoDB's CEO right before the company's investor day.

"MongoDB got crushed, falling 18% on the day. Perhaps more surprising was that Meta fell 5%."

Business Insider, via Yahoo: Meta’s latest AI land grab has the software industry on edge again https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/meta-latest-ai-land-grab-095001128.html #Meta

Facebook/Meta are now demanding a monthly fee from owners of Facebook Pages to post links to outside sites:

https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/facebook-pages-get-charged-for-link-posts/830743

The monthly fee Meta are demanding for posting links on Facebook Pages is quite astonishing:

US$50 per month for 8 links
US$150 per month for 20 links
US$500 per month for unlimited links

This is many times more than the cost of running your own website, cloud and social media server all put together. Independence is much cheaper and better.

As a simple ban in a long policy document is unlikely to be effective I'm looking for practical examples of how other healthcare facilities handle this.

So if you have any examples of best practice, please share!

"Then, yesterday, I was having a conversation with my Primary Technology podcast co-host, Stephen Robles, about the new iPhones. Moments later, I got a push notification from Muse suggesting that the conversation we were having would make for a good column and offered to put together research for me to write about. It even flagged a message from my editor about having a column ready for Monday.

Not only had I not asked it to do that sort of thing, I never gave it permission to read my messages. In fact, I remember explicitly choosing not to let it have access to my messages, calendar, and other personal information.

Stranger still was what happened when I asked Muse how it knew. It told me it didn’t have access to my message history at all. Instead, it said the Muse app on my Mac was simply passing along the text of incoming notification banners.

“When a notification pops up on your paired Mac, the text of that notification gets relayed to me—basically what you’d see in the banner itself,” Muse told me.

It went even further. “I can’t open your Messages app, scroll threads, or read history. It’s the incoming notification stream only, not access to your texts.”

Except that wasn’t true.

I did a little digging. Muse does sync your messages from the local Messages database and uploads that information as a data source. On my device, it had been activated and synced to row 187,462 of my Messages database. I’m not sure how many messages that equates to, but it’s obviously more than whatever Muse told me about what it was doing.

Which, honestly, is the point. I never gave it permission to do that. And, more importantly, I never would do so on purpose."

And speaking of Meta Muse: I wonder if anyone on the board at Meta has figured out yet that Mark Zuckerberg has become toxic to the brand. His face and his name are associated with loss of privacy, dishonesty, and forced opt-in.

If the Meta board would decide to oust Zuckerberg and publicly denounce him, they might have some opportunity to recuperate the brand names they manage.

But right now, Zuckerberg is the very face of user exploitation.

Meta shouldn't be the one to decide this. and who's terrorism are they monitoring anyway?

Meta's McCarthy "wrote that while the consortium welcomed the experts’ insights on violent trends, it no longer desired their scrutiny on the effectiveness of Big Tech’s efforts to curtail violence."

"The committee would be barred from weighing in on key topics such as the consortium’s performance and making recommendations together as a group. Its role as a watchdog would be neutered, advisers believed."

Problemen med AI eller rättare sagt stora språkmodeller (LLM) är inte att vi kan dödas av artificiell intelligens som börjat tänka själv. Helt enkelt för att det inte är möjligt att de ska kunna tänka själva eller vara självmedvetna. Det bara ser ut så då LLM:er använder vanligt språk som ett programmeringsspråk. Självlärande program har dock funnits mycket länge men de har tidigare bara använt språk som specialskrivit för att vara programmeringsspråk.

A preview of the documentary “Musk.” Subtitles are embedded in the video. Visual description follows. A black hole with a glowing orange accretion disk spins in deep space. A horizontal streak of light cuts across it with a text overlay reading “Musk.” A logo of two columns of six short lines appears at the bottom left; both the logo and text remain throughout. A large, turbulent sun is partially eclipsed by a dark planet. “Bleecker Street” emerges in fiery orange and white textured capital letters against a black background.

Obama shakes hands with Musk while military personnel and onlookers stand behind them. A silver rocket lifts off, leaving orange flames and white smoke, then explodes mid air into a massive fireball and debris. A man in a pink shirt gestures while speaking against a star projection. The quote “A Lacerating Portrait of Power Lust and Delusion,” attributed to “Variety,” appears on black. A wooden door features a Tesla Motors Inc. sign next to a split screen showing a wooden car prototype from three angles. A crowd celebrates behind a blue TSLA barrier; Musk smiles while carrying a young child on his shoulders. A man walks toward an open door black sports car in a workshop. Tesla Co Founder Martin Eberhard sits at a 90s era desk with documents and computers. An older, grey haired Eberhard speaks to the camera in a modern living space. A man addresses a large audience holding up smartphones. A wide shot of a stage shows a screen reading “Annual Shareholder Meeting 2025” next to a humanoid robot silhouette while a speaker addresses a crowd. Musk walks onto the lit stage, raising his arms in celebration. The quote “Musk Has the Fear Factor of a Conspiracy Thriller,” attributed to “The Hollywood Reporter,” is displayed.

Laura Bassett: Okay. Apparently Meta updated its terms so that they can use your photos and videos to generate Al versions of you that your friends can see in ads Someone just sent me a Chase ad that features an Al version of me. What do I do

I hardly use WhatsApp. Today, they put my account in review, for unspecified activity that violated their terms of service.

I have not done anything on WhatsApp for at least 48 hours.

They reviewed my account, and decided my number can no longer use WhatsApp.

This is why we must leave meta systems as much as we can; they are unreliable and usually working to harm us. Please reach me on Mastodon and Bluesky.

this is a great product. everyone should get a free muse account with a burner email, give it no information, open a shell into it, and use it to mine cryptocurrency. this is taking meta at their word about what they say the product is to be used for.

"Not only do Meta VR Glasses have the same input method as the Vision Pro (a mix of hand and eye tracking) and a similar premium display (5K micro OLED), but Meta VR Glasses are also trying to steal the thunder from one of the Vision Pro’s most iconic features—Personas."

How is everyone's experience with #MetaMuse with writing PHP?

I've been told it's really good for JavaScript, TypeScript, and HTML, but shit on Rust, Golang, PHP, and Kotlin.

Feels like the same that any other LLM if you ask me.

An interesting conflict between a Dutch media creator Roel Maalderink (together with Bits of Freedom) and Meta regarding Meta glasses.

The guy made a video wearing the glasses outside the Meta office in Amsterdam.

The video showed several Meta employees reacting negatively to the glasses, and even asking multiple times if he was filming (showing that even they couldn’t see if the glasses are active.)

Instagram took the video offline, which is the first time this creator had a takedown of one of his videos.

I hope this goes viral beyond The Netherlands.

Edit: Added a Fedi post by Roel himself.

A Spanish theatre got banned from Meta ads because the play related to feminism.

To quote this week's newsletter: "When are we getting off Meta? Where are we going? And *how good is it going to feel when we are finally gone*?"

Text reads: "But say you’re not a Barcelona theatre or an independent podcast or a jewellery maker or a tarot-card reader or a community organiser or a support group or a neighbourhood news provider. Say you’re not someone who relies on Meta platforms to reach people, to get the word out about something, pay the bills, feed your kids, keep the lights on. There are still plenty of reasons you might hate Facebook and Instagram and still feel trapped there. You might be endlessly concerned about preserving European democracy and know all there is to know about Operation Dopplegänger, Cambridge Analytica, The Facebook Papers, and all the other entries on the Criticism of Facebook Wikipedia page and in its 412 footnotes. But maybe you’re like all the rest of us who, as the great British-Canadian-American digital sovereignty activist Cory Doctorow is wont to put it, love our friends more than we hate Mark Zuckerberg."

Aside from the original point of the quoted message, just imagine all the information requested in these (hardcoded) "ideas" put forward by the model to be helpful (3rd image) and handing these answers to Meta, one of the most untrustworthy companies in the world... And then also imagine, how many people are actually happily doing so without hesitation!

These behaviors & patterns are some of the real risks of AI. Blinded by the illusion and promise of intelligent machines, their partial utilitarian benefits (which could be equally achieved otherwise), people stop perceiving the actual dangers of the ongoing increased exploitation & surveillance of their own lives, the destruction of environment and society around them, directly and indirectly...

ce à quoi j'ai répondu

"C'est parce que je suis informaticien que je n'ai pas Whatsapp"

Breaking: “US company #Meta has, without explanation, disabled #Lula’s #Instagram and #Facebook profiles’ ability to run ads, 10 days from election.
The President’s campaign has complained and threatened legal action, citing this as another example of US interference and manipulation.”

Meta's new $349 Ray-Ban Audio glasses are camera-free. No camera doesn't mean no recording: they still capture and summarize the audio around you. A summary can hold sensitive details even when the raw audio isn't saved. Courts and cities from New York to London are already restricting smart glasses.

So what: learn the recording indicator (LED or chime), know owners can tape it over, and you can ask someone to stop.
