I love this, read the whole article, but I still feel underwhelmed.

I have a ton of older hardware lying around, all running Linux and perfectly capable to perform the tasks outlined. Incl. a Nokia N900 that can be ssh’d into etc. It’s of similar size AND has a keyboard. Granted, that one does not have an ethernet port but the others do.

And we all know how easy it is to buy an ARM board, install Linux and add all the ethernet ports one desires.

So, apart from the really nice form factor, why this one above all these options?

“It was kinda fun. I met people I would never have met otherwise.”

Amazing

Researchers tested how the services ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Grok and Replika performed on a single day during the 2026 Scottish pre-election window and found:

• One third (34.1%) of responses across chatbots contained factual errors, whilst reliability varied significantly across services
• Errors included getting the date of election day wrong, giving wrong information about the need for voters to bring ID, “hallucinating” a candidate, and making up an expenses scandal on one occasion, and a nepotism scandal on another.

We reveal new evidence of the scale of these services’ unreliability during elections and make recommendations for the government to close the regulatory gap.

The last bit is the most important imo: Chatbots must not be allowed to present themselves as providers of information. Nor should any commercial/official body be allowed to rely on them.

Hijacked how, though?

Shouldn’t 2FA be enough to prevent such things?

Good first move I guess.

Watch, USA, how to undo such things. And Russia. For later.

Isn’t it enough to post this to your own community, you had to X-post at least 5 times (just this user; your comm is moderated by a 2nd MadeinDex)? And it’s not even a proper article, just one of your showerthoughts?

Relatable. At first glance.

edit: until you read on about what this person is really about

I think you figured out what’s going on in these people’s brains: they think they bought a legit spy car.

It is, in fact, too stupid to believe anything Me-lon says.

And we will live on Mars by the end of this decade!

Oh so you’re not a denier, just a downplayer? We need to do more to turn this around, not less.

Absolutely. And it’s definitely easier today even if Google services themselves have also developed further.

Let’s keep on nudging. https://di.day/en/digital-switch-recipes

Didn’t expect to see one of you types in the fediverse.

No, you’re wrong. Human induced climate change and its dangers are all very real. Sure, the news reporting is sensationalist, but the facts are all there for you to check out, science going back almost a century.

Yeah… that was about 10 years ago.

It’s factual (except for it being actual gold), so where’s the mocking?

agentic AI

Everybody needs to know what that means.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agentic_AI

In the context of generative artificial intelligence, AI agents (also referred to as compound AI systems or agentic AI) are a class of intelligent agents that can pursue goals, use tools, and take actions with varying degrees of autonomy.

What Could Go Wrong ™

This is climate change denial in action. Any normal country would incentivize people to switch to EVs, not the opposite.

Carbon

Really unfortunate choice of name for a photovoltaic company.

I don’t like the tone of this NYT article. It implies that the USA have already shown actual aggression towards Greenland and by extension Denmark, the EU and even NATO, and might do it again.

And “Like in Iran” really isn’t a valid comparison here.

OTOH it pisses me off that EU leaders still treat the USA as their biggest partner. I mean Greenland already did concede to US demands. Why isn’t simply ignoring him an option? It’s past time to break that old paradigm down.

I once measured “it”: an extremely old laptop. Since it wasn’t for gaming it didn’t really matter what I threw at it, it was … hmm, maybe 30W. But as soon as the screen went on that doubled.
