TIL about Enslopification. AI-driven enshittification basically:
> The shoving of dumb idiotic A.i into every aspect of existence, [...], all in order to legitimize massive over investments in A.i slop in return for profits at any cost to customers, societies and nations, while stealing masses of customers data via those same systems so as to enable further profit making by corporate profiling of consumers.

Things that are not necessarily bad but getting worse due to forced #AI.
So I spotted an @ONLYOFFICE logo in a toot about non-US tech alternatives and figured I'd have a look because I'd never actually bothered with it. Opened the web site, looked, saw "now powered by AI-powe..." and hit the tab close button hard.
Algorithm-based social networks and LLM-based "AI" are #WeaponsOfMassDelusion and have been successfully destroying democracies.

@pluralistic you may like that.
woah, hang on, it might actually be this. Dammit, there are settings everywhere for this crap
Ah google, you old devil, I think I now know why you are giving me email summaries despite me having already disabled gemini for my workspace
There's a new (relatively new??) item in the "Generative AI" menu in the admin console called "NotebookLM" (which is, of course, enabled by default) and this appears to make use of Gemini (despite the fact Gemini is disabled) to generate planet-warming insights that may be dangerously incorrect
The only solution appears to be having an AI summarize them.
Soon enough the internet will be an ocean of intolerable slop from which only machines can bear to sieve meaning for us.
