"A social-media ad campaign from the Department of Labor is going viral for featuring a dozen or more images of young, blond, white men with strong jawlines and cleft chins, in blue-collared workmen’s shirts and jeans—such great jeans. ...
It’s not the use of AI that’s giving everyone pause, of course."

Saying AI is the future is like someone in the past saying excel is the future, or matlab is the future. They’re tools that increase productivity when operated by people who know what they’re doing.
Except this version of excel costs like fifty times the space race

"Orwell emphasizes the totalizing power of Big Brother and the seamlessness of historical revisionism. But Trump, unfortunately for him, does not have anywhere near this level of influence or power, even with the aid of the lickspittles at the Reagan Foundation."

International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/38271574
The International Criminal Court (ICC) will switch its internal work environment away from Microsoft Office to Open Desk, a European open source alternative, the institution confirmed to Euractiv.German newspaper Handelsblatt first reported on the plans. The switch comes amid rising concerns about public bodies being reliant on US tech companies to run their services, which have stepped up sharply since the start of US President Donald Trump’s second administration.
For the ICC, such concerns are not abstract: Trump has repeatedly lashed out at the court and slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan.

#AISlop is everywhere. My physiotherapeut gets first questions of patients why he would work with their back while the problematic muscle would be in the front of the neck around the throat. 🙄
In pure physical reality, the muscle is indeed in the back. They had asked #Google about it and got fake anatomy plans made by #LLM. And he has even to debate that they trust *him* who had learnt all the muscle-bone-nerves-stuff for his profession. "But AI said!"

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"It’s that these pictures, released by the Department of Labor social-media accounts and bearing the department’s seal, are uncomfortably reminiscent of posters from the 1930s. To be more specific: the ‘Heroic Realism’ of Nazi propaganda posters and the similarly stylized patriotic posters later produced in the United States.
Why is this style being used now, and what are these images for?"
