The Fediverse HOA strikes again!
A great community project was shut down because a bunch of assholes can’t stand something new on “their” Fedi.
Here’s my question: where is this outcry when #OpenAI, #Microsoft, and #Google index our posts?
It’s okay when Big Tech does this, but how dare someone make a fun little hobby service!

That's it, I've had it. In 2025 I'm deleting as many online accounts as I possibly can. I'm done with these tech billionaires. 😡 I've already deleted Twitter and TikTok long ago and I'm deleting the rest.

"On Wednesday, a video from OpenAI's newly launched Sora AI video generator went viral on social media, featuring a gymnast who sprouts extra limbs and briefly loses her head during what appears to be an Olympic-style floor routine."
The video clip is embedded in the article. You can see a guy sitting on a bench in the background and he has three arms: two resting on the bench and one holding a camera filming the gymnast. 😆

"In recent months Mr Balaji had publicly spoken out against artificial intelligence company OpenAI's practices, which has been fighting a number of lawsuits relating to its data-gathering practices."
"...OpenAI said in a statement cited by CNBC News that it was "devastated to learn of this incredibly sad news today and our hearts go out to Suchir's loved ones during this difficult time"."
Pfffffft yeah right 🙄 I'm sure you're sad

OpenAI Strikes Deal With Military Contractor to Provide AI for Attack Drones
"In a statement announcing the partnership with that contractor, Anduril — which was cofounded by Oculus VR's Palmer Luckey and takes its name from the glowing sword given to Aragorn by Elves in "The Lord of the Rings" — OpenAI CEO Sam Altman waxed prolific about how drones are important for democracy."
Right...good for democracy. Good for profits you mean

"Cook is the latest in a string of big tech leaders — including OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos — who have sought to improve their standing with the incoming president after choppy relations with Trump during his first term."
Wow I guess these tech CEOs will do anything for profit. 🤢

So a crazy thing happened. In a crime thriller film called Les chambres rouges (Red Rooms, 2023) there is a scene where the hacker protagonist is attempting to purchase a snuff film in online auction. The auction happens via IRC or IRC-like chatting environment and to my surprise there's actually me @rolle and my wife @mustikkasoppa who are one of the bidders.
1) The nickname of my wife is mistakenly written as "mustikasoppa" (with one k) but if I recall correctly she has used a mistakenly written nickname in the past
2) We are both operators and on the same IRC channel as we've been for the past 17 years
This is not a coincidence. One nickname can be made up by accident but not two with these features and definitely not in a French movie. My wife's nick "mustikkasoppa" is Finnish and means "blueberry soup".

Our IRC logs are more or less public because of open source and statistics so I presume the scene has been made with chatgpt which has scraped our nicks from the Internet so that they ended up in the movie. We still chat via IRC every day together.
The era of AI... Do your background check, folks. I'm glad this wasn't a dramatized documentary film but a complete fiction. However my wife and I are real. Mixed feelings.
"If you’re worried about AI as it relates to our impending doom, you won’t like the news that ChatGPT tech will power swarms of killer drones from Anduril. On Wednesday, Anduril announced the partnership with the most talked-about US AI company."
Okay now I'm glad I've never used ChatGPT.
