I wasn’t familiar with Drop Site News and had a quick look, seems legit:
A well informed, technicality litterate, reasonable person wouldn’t.
Many reasonable people start/keep using those products. All of this is somewhat obvious for tech hobbyist. Others may not be fully aware or the risk, or don’t consider they’re particularily at risk. The norm is to use those services and apps. There is strong peer pressure to use those service to stay connected with people and organisations.
There’s a need for more or at least better education around being safe online, and protecting personal data. An education that’s free of big tech influence/sponsoring.
How soon can those help cleanup Fukushima and Tchernobyl?
I assume the high price and limitations would make them a hard sell for a typical factory. But those could be handy in places where humans can’t go safely.
In Tiktok’s case, it has been shady for years.
There were already reports Tiktok censoring dissent in 2019 when it started gaining popularity internatinally:
And even before that, Tiktok’s parent company always operated and had its headquarter in China, so it’s forced to comply with the Great Firewall of China, and participate though their own moderation/algorithm.
Relying on a media that operate (in part) in a totalitarian state with heavy handed censorship is foolish. Even if they have some infrastructure elsewhere, it’s sowned by and answering to ByteDance management. Like all media companies from that country, it’s under pressure from the local and/or central government.
How about not using a platform that supress information about dissent?
This is super shady, how can people trust this app?
I have mixed feeling about this.
20% would definitely be justified for having to take care of bad quality spaghetti code that is the result of vibe coding.
That’s not a clone. It’s a text prediction tool that use a dead person’s messages as input. It’s analoguous to editing together old videos to do a fake interview of a dead person.
The BBC is going for sensationalism. It’s a topic worth covering and they’re not doing it well. Journalists should focus on informing more than entertaining.
According to three Unit 8200 sources, the cloud-based storage platform has facilitated the preparation of deadly airstrikes and has shaped military operations in Gaza and the West Bank.
I wonder if Microsoft will have to testify in the ICC.
There’s a Wikipedia article on TACO:
Trump Always Chickens Out (TACO), also known as the TACO Trade, is an acronym that gained prominence in May 2025 after many threats and reversals during the trade war Donald Trump initiated with his administration’s “Liberation Day” tariffs.[1] The acronym is used to describe Trump’s tendency to make tariff threats, only to later delay them as a way to increase time for negotiations and for markets to rebound.[1][2]

More time to prepare a migration away from Microsoft.
We’ll see.
Once there’s enough hydrogen drilling and hydrogen production no longer depend on fossil fuel, then maybe H2 vehicules will make sense. Or maybe H2 will still be impractical due to other drawbacks.
Meanwhile it make sense to focus on less polluting options.

It sounds like this ruling is based on a technicality. If so, couldn’t FTC make the same decision, this time better following letter of the law?
Another reason to avoid Google. Try Startpage, Duckduckgo or another search engine.
Fossil fuel are getting progressively harder to produce, since easily accessible oil and gas fields were the first to be exploited, and are (soon to be) depleted, leaving hard to reach ones. So they’re getting more expensive even without taxing them.
Renewable sources are getting progressively cheaper.
The EU is planning to enforce CBAM soon, and other may follow and tax import from country that have 0 carbon tax.
So even if they’re not motivated for dumb political reasons, they’re going to feel more and more financial pressure.
I quikly gave up on correting those bots. Either you’re lucky and made a prompt that induced it to generate a decent answer. Or you’re not, and there’s no point in correcting it. In that case you’re better off doing whatever you were going to do without a LLM.
