Great little video by John Oliver about AI. One thing he did not get, however, is that also the comments are likely AI generated...
Now you can have a discussion about the usefulness of AI for all kinds of stuff, but to me is is disgusting that Meta is deciding to feed their users this stuff. When it comes to social media, I would think that most people are interested in what their friends have to say or what people they follow have to say. AI generated content is not that.

Generative models are cute little toys with which you can play around, and sometimes they produce something nice that can be refined with a little manual tweaking. The real problem are all those idiots trying to produce click traps so they can make some money through advertising or data mining. Magazine editors thinking they can save money by using generated images instead of illustrations made by human illustrators are just annoying, and the illustrators are angry and scared, of course, but the real problem is that all the digital tools that have been made to classify, sort, and search digital content, become more and more useless because they can't tell relevant data from AI hallucinations. AI hallucinations can be nice, you can use those to create images that would have been hard to make otherwise, but the "better" image generators become, they more useless they get for making something really far out. Videos of people randomly morphing into one another, losing limbs, objects melting into people's bodies or growing out of them, man, those can be really trippy! Also, strange surreal scenes with rainbow coloured people with melting faces, I really like those. It's getting harder and harder to get anything decent like that out of current AI models. If you prefer cute mass-produced kitsch, you can have some of that rendered for you, but it gets boring very quickly. The real problem is that AI can generate spam that bypasses any spam filter, and it takes only a small number of spam operations to flood the entire Internet. The problem is not the existence of this technology but the world in which it exists. A world in which all kinds of idiots are desperately trying to make as much money as possible by any means. A world where giant corporations are trying to sell us all kinds of shit. A world where fascist bastards and religious nutters are trying to flood the media with their propaganda.

The video showcases a series of posts on a social media platform, focusing on a dark-themed interface. The first post, dated June 23, 2025, at 2:41 AM, discusses the filming of "Phantom of the Opera," mentioning a scene where Jack Burton asks, "Why am I walking up all these stairs? Where are we going?" The post, credited to "All The Right Movies" with the handle "[@]alltherightmovies," includes three images: a cathedral interior, a dimly lit scene, and a dramatic moment. The post has 3 likes and includes a graphic media warning.
The video then transitions to another post by the same user, dated the same day and time, detailing a test screening of a 90-second trailer at a theater in California, which received a standing ovation. This post also has 9 likes and includes a graphic media warning. The user's profile is visible, showing a follow button and a website link.
The video concludes with a close-up of the second post, emphasizing the text and the graphic media warning. The interface elements, including the time, battery, and signal indicators, remain consistent throughout the video.

that thread is huge, but you can try out what it might look like in the 5.3 nightly builds. not sure if there's a better example of what it looks like now out there 🙂
Hey everyone, The text layout rewrite branch finally got merged! You should be able to test it in the next nightly build. Keep in mind that the text tool by itself has not changed just yet. Similarly, if you find bugs, please report them to bugs.

Mastodon ist jetzt offiziell „Digital Public Good“ – also digitales öffentliches Gut – und steht damit auf einer UN-Liste neben Projekten wie Wikipedia oder LibreOffice. Das Fediverse bekommt damit Rückenwind als gemeinwohlorientierte Alternative zu Big Tech. Anerkannt wurde Mastodon von der Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA), einer Initiative der UN. Die Kriterien: Open Source, Datenschutz, kein Konzerninteresse. Für alle, die digital unabhängig und demokratisch kommunizieren wollen, ist das ein starkes Signal.
Damit sind sie direktes Ziel der neuen rassistischen, inhumanen deutschen #Bundesregierung in einer Reihe mit den #OmasGegenRechts und allem was nach #Gemeinwohl riecht.
@padeluun Ohne einen politischen Willen bleiben die Initiativen im kleinen zivilgesellschaftlichen Rahmen und basieren auf gutem Willen, siehe die dänische Regierung die Microsoft jetzt in ihrer Verwaltung abschafft, das ist ein Impact der deutliche Spuren hinterlässt.

In einem Handbuch geben Wissenschaftler*innen aus den USA und Europa Ratschläge, wie sich Menschen im akademischen Betrieb gegen aufkeimenden Autoritarismus stemmen können – abgestuft nach Risiko-Level. Das ist nicht nur für Forschende lesenswert.
Ich bin da zwiegespalten. Mastodon ist ja "nur" eine Zugangssoftware zum Fediverse, so wie etwa Firefox eine Zugangssoftware zum WWW ist. Insofern wünsche ich mir eher für das Fediverse den Status eines immateriellen Kulturgutes als für Mastodon den eines Digital Public Good.
@rainer Wenn Du das Fediverse (also ActivityPub) auf der Liste sehen möchtest, suche Dir ein paar Leute und setze das um. Wenn Du an der einen oder anderen Stelle ein wenig Unterstützung brauchst kannst Du auf uns zählen (und sicher viele andere auch).
