Why using generative AI to create something, an essay, a paper, an image or video, has no soul.

Wow! Straight from the heart

Making GenAI Companies Accountable

I am not a lawyer and I don't claim to be one. This issue of accountability is the only way to provide a semblance of safety when using these generative AI (GenAI) chatbots -- making companies responsible for its errors. No, you don't call them hallucinations, you call them bullshitting. This is a good read on the verdict against Google and its Google Search AI Overview. It shouldn’t be limited to Google Search; it should apply to any platform that utilizes GenAI. If a company deploys a product ...

Gaming the GenAI chatbots

Generative AI companies are devouring everything that is posted on the internet, with or without consent. Whilst there are ways to protect your content, it is not always the right thing to do considering that the web should be open, as it was intended. Thanks to the evil tech companies, the open web is being bastardized.

AGI is something that nobody can define — well, they (the techbros) can, but they cannot agree on the common definition. So, don’t believe the generative AI hype. Step back and analyze what they are sell...

Why are users IGNORING this?

I really do not understand why generative AI chatbot users ignore the harm that it brings. Why keeping supporting these companies? Are you waiting until a family member of yours get victimized? C'mon!

Migrating from one password manager to another

This morning I decided to check on my 1Password account one last time -- before I finally kill the subscription. I have been using it sparingly since iCloud Passwords became a stand-alone application. I missed the 1Password support for files and full notes, which were not migrated to iCloud Passwords or Proton Pass. I found out about it last Friday when I re-enabled Apple Pay on my Apple Watch, something I forgot to configure. Good thing it was enabled on the iPhone. Anyway, so I revisited 1Pass...

Am starting to see how pckt.blog will fit into my workflow. I have yet to pull the trigger and subscribe, though. What would make me do that? Yeah, I might be asking too much, but I see the potential. Who knows? One can wish, right?

Welcome *again*

That good folks of pckt.blog did a great service by helping troubleshoot my self-hosting PDSpckt.blog issue. thanks thanks Welcome again. The atproto community is really great and I cannot wait to get my students to try it out and develop cool apps for the atmosphere. So stay tuned.
