WipeOut 2097 was my first WipeOut game and I absolutely loved it. I’ve still got the soundtrack saved on Spotify for when I need a high energy boost.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I mean it is important that this kind of stuff is thought about when designing these but it’s going to be a whack-a-mole situation and we shouldn’t be surprised that with targeted prompting you’ll easily gaps that generated stuff like this.

Making articles out of each controversial or immoral prompt isn’t helpful at all. It’s just spam.

exactly what I was thinking. That big starting number is misleading at best.

I think a separate community would only be needed if it got too noisy here. At the moment I don’t think there is enough activity to warrant an entirely separate community.

I think for now people should be able to post their questions here for a discussion. If anything that would help more active engagement in this community.

(Just my thoughts on it)

Google is one of the worst offenders, with constant effort to force you to login, sponsored links etc but it isn’t unique to them.

AI (or human) generated rubbish, optimised for SEO is making it harder and harder to find what you actually want. This isn’t entirely new, there has always been a battle but it does seem like now with the AI push they are winning and we (the users/consumers) are losing.

I’ve used it to create a little dashboard page for my home sever - it made a page that displays the uptime, network status, the remaining disc space, links to all my hosted services (including indicators showing if they are online or offline) automatically grabbing the favicon for the links etc

Everything nicely styled and formatted in a dark theme with status colours etc

It did absolutely everything, picked the language added step by step instructions of setting it up even suggestions on styling options.

Wonder what a difference it now makes with the iCloud “advanced Data protection” that provides end to end encryption for iCloud backups etc. in theory that should block the iCloud backup route.

Telegram doesn’t use end to end encryption by default.

I use Signal and Matrix and what have you but in the end if I want to be able to join in with communications with family and friends beyond a few specific people I need to use WhatsApp.

Good article - but as it points out I am entirely powerless. I can’t move away from WhatsApp as everyone, absolutely everyone I know (in the UK at least) uses WhatsApp as their primary or only messaging app/service.
