Are AI Web Crawlers 'Destroying Websites' In Their Hunt for Training Data? - Slashdot
"AI web crawlers are strip-mining the web in their perpetual hunt for ever more content to feed into their Large Language Model mills," argues Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols at the Register.tech.slashdot.org
The image features a Union Jack flag, the national flag of the United Kingdom, prominently displayed on a flagpole. The flag is waving in the wind, with visible tattered edges, suggesting it has been exposed to the elements for some time. The flagpole is white and stands against a backdrop of a cloudy sky, with the top of a building visible in the lower right corner. The flag's colors are vivid, with the red, white, and blue sections clearly defined. The overall scene is set outdoors, with trees visible in the background, indicating a natural setting.

↑ alrededor del 10 % según Nicholl et al.
Supervivencia en infarto
↓ unos 2 % según el estudio sueco (Avdic, 2015)
Mortalidad en accidentes
↑ hasta un 13,8 % por accidentes con cada 5 km extra
Llegada en emergencias cardíacas
↓ 1,25 % por cada 5 minutos adicionales de viaje
• Menos probabilidades de sobrevivir, tanto en situaciones de infarto como en accidentes graves.
• Separación de atención médica urgente, lo que afecta directamente la salud y esperanza de vida.
• Desigualdades sanitarias persistentes en zonas rurales, lo que refleja un problema sistémico de accesibilidad.

there's a huge difference methinks: GenAI does provide some useful service to people (e.g., helping with writing context-dependent letters or text for people who don't know how to speak admin-ese).
I think the ecological and ethical price we're paying for something that makes far too many mistakes is too high, but a lot of people see some real value to these tools, contrary to NFTs which were far more confidential in their use, due to their very narrow pragmatic usefulness.
is this the pendent of asking how the people from school are who shoved the papers just like that in their backpack?
Because I feel they'd answer very similarly

I recently made the decision to stop using Mastodon through the web interface, and instead use a TUI (at least when on my computer).
This does change the experience somewhat, but it's also less obtrusive than I had feared, especially with Kitty image support. And on top of that, I no longer have to wait for Firefox to start up and the web interface to load whenever I want to randomly check Mastodon.
With the exception of desktop Signal and various websites that I might look at briefly and then close, Mastodon was the last thing that I regularly opened a traditional browser window for. I'm starting to feel like I've crossed a threshold here, in some sense at least.

The Guardian view on the killing of Gaza’s journalists: Israel wants to stop the world from seeing what it’s doing
The Guardian has to its credit reported a lot of the carnage, but the language used resembles that of the ‘impartial’ BBC - toeing the Israeli/British line.but on the positive they have published opinion pieces from Palestinians. Shame no critique of Lammy, Starmer et al.

Venus and Adonis, Bartholomeus Spranger, c. 1585 - c. 1590
Venus, the goddess of love, warns her lover Adonis of the danger of the hunt. In vain, however, for he is killed by a wild boar. On the left, Cupid, the god of love, already gestures in despair. The tall, slender figures with small heads are characteristic of Spranger’s
style. The hilly landscape is ‘old-fashioned’: the artist derived it from an early 16th-century painting.

Road Trip to the End of the World just hit Steam—and it’s got my attention.
I don’t usually like visual novels, but this one looks too spicy to ignore.
The pitch: Andy teams up with her imaginary fish friend, Fishy, and sets off on a reckless cross-country road trip. The goal? Crash her ex-best friend’s wedding—a wedding she wasn’t even invited to. That’s already dripping with drama, but the developer, Alex Lee of Shark and Pelican Games, describes it as a story about the death of a friendship. So don’t expect any neat bows or tidy resolutions here. This trip is going to sting.
Instead of playing it safe, the game leans into awkward diner food, bad gas station snacks, long stretches of road, and the heavy weight of what happens when people drift apart. And Fishy, dressed in overalls and big-eyed sincerity, adds a surreal layer to the whole thing—equal parts comic relief and emotional gut-check.
It’s not a long ride—1–2 hours tops—but that’s exactly what makes it tempting. Short, sharp, and unapologetic. There’s point-and-click flavor sprinkled in, a full original soundtrack, and even a surprise cameo tossed in for good measure. The Steam tagline nails it: closure sold separately.
On the practical side, it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux natively. No Proton headaches. And the kicker? It’s free.
I may not be a visual novel guy—but this one feels like the exception. It’s giving me the sense of a midnight drive where you know you shouldn’t go, but can’t help stepping on the gas anyway.
