Hiding behind translations

After a lot of turmoil and their most vocal user base protesting about how Mozilla keeps pushing "AI" into the browser in many weird ways they now released the "AI Killswitch" they have been talking about for a while. Which is good. Those features should have been "opt-in" from the start and it's kinda weird how users of a Browser that frames itself as the resistance against "Big Tech" need to fight it tooth and nail to not push Big Tech's vision of a slop future onto them. But I […]

Text: "At launch, AI controls let you manage these features individually: Translations, which help you browse the web in your preferred language. Alt text in PDFs, which add accessibility descriptions to images in PDF pages. AI-enhanced tab grouping, which suggests related tabs and group names. Link previews, which show key points before you open a link. AI chatbot in the sidebar, which lets you use your chosen chatbot as you browse, including options like Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini and Le Chat Mistral."Screenshot of the "AI Killswitch" post on the mozilla website.

Oooooh! I LOVE snirt! ❤️❤️❤️

Is #snirt a #yegBike term or is it used more broadly among bike folks?

(As long as cars exist, I really really really want the world to adopt the #Edmonton word #parkade instead of the needlessly long and boring #ParkingStructure 😛).

When we say "struct" we generally are referring to C structs. Now that Go, Rust, etc, implement structs that sort of act like classes, should we start explicitly calling them C structs to differentiate from Go/Rust structs?

selection is important. Sometimes, a change of is idiotic at best. For example, we abolished , now we only have . Sorry, WTF? Changing from prostitute to sex-worker, that makes sense, as prostitution has always been tied to bad morals and judgement. Here using the slur argument has merit. I've not really been convinced with the r-word, but for those called such derogitorially, for them the change was , so I'm happy to run with it. /1

Words are violence, immigration is invasion, treatment is abuse, and now drug-smuggling is waging war. Is there another way to bastardize the English language that I should know about?

Đà Nẵng lý giải đề xuất thay đổi cụm từ "xả lũ" thành "vận hành điều tiết qua tràn xả sâu". Theo Sở Nông nghiệp và Môi trường, việc này nhằm sử dụng thuật ngữ chính xác hơn về mặt kỹ thuật, tránh gây hiểu lầm hoặc hoang mang cho người dân khi các hồ thủy điện điều tiết nước.

🟡 Semafor Tech: AI Glossary www.semafor.com/newsletter/11/… (of paradoxes) #AI #terminology

Text Shot: Amara’s Law: We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run. The Bitter Lesson: Building knowledge into AI agents only limits their knowledge and capabilities. The Black Box Paradox (or fallacy): We have to choose between powerful AI we can’t trust and trustworthy AI that isn’t powerful. Jevons paradox: The cheaper AI becomes, the more demand increases. Moravec’s Paradox: AI is good at the hard things and bad at the easy things. The productivity paradox: AI is everywhere but hasn’t made a dent in productivity. Tesler’s Theorem: AI is whatever hasn’t been done yet.

I don't like how most of #lemmy instances copied the US-centric terminology from Reddit, where "News" means US-centric news, while "World news" is for everything else.

There should be some encouragment, some kind of initiative to make "News" mean "all news"
