@Mercado_Ingles Vaya putos reventados los de la IFAB.

NOTICIA. Taiwo Awoniyi podría enfrentar una sanción por parte de la FA después de quitarse la camiseta para revelar un mensaje religioso durante la victoria del Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham hoy. El Nigeriano marcó gol en el minuto 87 para dejar un marcador de 3-0. Al celebrar su gol reveló su camiseta con el mensaje “Dios es el más grande”. Las reglas de la International Football Association Board (IFAB), que la FA sigue, prohíben que el equipamiento de los jugadores contenga “cualquier lema, declaración o imagen política, religiosa o personal”. “El jugador y/o el equipo podrían ser sancionados por el organizador de la competición, la asociación nacional de fútbol o la FIFA”, añade el IFAB.

They should work on not trying to take the biometric data of their users

Solo digo que sentar a Thiago Pitarch para meter a Jude Bellingham sería una cagada muy grande…

Encyclopedia Britannica and Merriam Webster have just sued Sam Altmans OpenAI. These legendary publishers accuse OpenAI of stealing nearly 100000 copyrighted articles and dictionary entries to train ChatGPT. The AI now copies their content freely while crushing their website traffic and revenue that built centuries of real knowledge. This is not innovation or progress. This is blatant industrial scale theft from the guardians of human knowledge. Sam Altman preaches ethics and safety while building his empire on plagiarism and lies. The lawsuits are only getting started.

Decidme que os sale, va

@NoToDigitalID No.

Would you accept a decentralised Digital ID? It’s been proposed as alternative from some crypto friends.

@Pirat_Nation Soon everywhere will have the same laws. Blocking is not a sustainable strategy. Fight this. The totalitarians are coming to take every freedom from us. FIGHT>

Veteran game developer JP Kellams pushed back on anti-AI slop criticism: “If DLSS 5 was shown as a next-gen hardware reveal and not AI, you guys would be going nuts.”

The AI tools you're using to search, invest, and make decisions can be completely manipulated with a single fake article. Microsoft researchers proved it. They injected ONE fake article into the top search result. Here's what happened: 1. GPT-5 accuracy dropped from 65.1% to 18.2%. o3 dropped to 16.7%. o1 to 8.4%. GPT-4o to 3.8%. One article. That's all it took. 2. The models barely tried to verify. GPT-5 went from 6.45 search calls to 6.61 under attack. It trusted whatever ranked first and stopped looking. 3. When models did search more, they couldn't reconcile conflicting sources. They anchored on the fake and rationalized everything else around it. 4. Confidence never wavered. Every model stayed fully certain while being completely wrong. No hedging. Just wrong answers delivered with conviction. This isn't theoretical. Control the top search result and you control what every AI agent believes. SEO manipulation, paid placements, or one compromised infrastructure node is enough. Every company deploying AI search agents, trading bots, and autonomous research tools is running on an assumption that just got demolished: more data access means better accuracy. It doesn't. Not when the algorithm can be bought.

@NoToDigitalID Most of the people see this and don't see a security and privacy problem.

🚨 BREAKING: Spain has launched a dedicated app that will store the electronic version of the country’s national identity card DNI.

@Pirat_Nation Why this EU bureaucrats were ever called pro free-market in any way? They are all a bunch of communists that doesn't want people to make its own money investments profit. They use regulationism as an obstacle, not a real money laundering concerning.

The EU's Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), part of the 2024 package, introduces these key changes: - Anonymous cash payments to businesses are capped at €10,000 (member states may set lower limits). - Crypto-asset service providers must perform KYC identity verification on transactions of €1,000 or more, including those linked to self-hosted wallets. - Providers are prohibited from handling anonymity-enhancing coins (privacy coins such as Monero) or maintaining anonymous crypto accounts.

Meta is the shadiest social media company out there, no one is buying this “child safety” bullshit

I'm fascinated by this level of existential crisis developers seem to be going through. The uncomfortable truth is nobody needs you to be an artisan coder. Nobody cares about how you coded your app, or whether you feel an emotional attachment to your craft. You were always code monkey with a high enough salary to believe that your individualist craftsmanship matters to anyone. It doesn't matter to anyone but you. Not your employer, not your customer. Nobody cares about how you made the product. Nobody cares about your attachment to your process. You're experiencing the same as countless other artisans have experienced in the last century. I'm happy for you. You were starting to believe that you're a demigod amongst mortals. You're not. A machine is better than you. Now you're free.

@callebtc There has always been abstraction jumps in coding. Nothing wrong with "artisan coders", the issue was thinking the abstraction effort worthed the salary (low imo) just because of the artisan sentiment. Some people now is starting to realize the real value of his pre-AI work.

"before this feature goes away" is an interesting way to say "we're reading your messages soon"

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

@TheChiefNerd "Open" AI lol. Neither open nor non-profit.

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

🦔 Hisense TVs are forcing owners to watch unskippable ads when switching inputs, turning on the TV, navigating to the home screen, and even changing channels. The changes rolled out unilaterally after purchase, reportedly even for users who had all ad-related options disabled. When confronted, Hisense said the ads were part of a spot test in the Spanish market and that users could continue to use their devices normally. Reports span the UK, Spain, Germany, and Australia, and go back at least a year. My Take Hisense sold people a TV and then changed what that TV does after they got it home. You buy a thing, you own the thing, and then one day it starts showing you ads when you press the input button. That's the deal now apparently. And when people complained, Hisense said they could still use their devices normally, which is a wild thing to say about a TV that interrupts you for switching to your PlayStation. The spot test defense is nonsense. Reports come from multiple countries over more than a year, and there's an Australian email address specifically for getting the ads turned off on your individual unit. They know exactly what they're doing. The real play here is that most people won't email support or set up a Pi-hole or block domains at the router level. Most people will just accept it because returning the TV is a hassle. That's the bet. Make the free experience worse, bet on inertia, and monetize the people who don't fight back. Same playbook as everyone else, just more shameless about it. Hedgie🤗

In Australia 70% of youth are getting around age verification. It is clear that just banning parts of the internet is not going to work. Maybe it was not about protection after all....

Ah yes, this weather app now has age verification to "protect the kids"🙄
