Flip side of this: ~3 years ago, I got automated calls from “RBC Visa”. I ignored them.
Then my card stopped working.
So I called the number on the back of my card and said as much.
The agent gave me a hard time: “So you JUST IGNORED our calls about this?”
“No; I didn’t know they were you calling.”
“How did you not know they were us?! It says ‘this is RBC Visa’ when you answer!”
“That’s indistinguishable from fraud.”
He did not like that. He thought …

Got a call with Caller ID saying it's from my Credit Union. They told me there was an account breach. In a very Indian accent. I asked if it was a breach or an incident. He told me it was a breach. I asked what of my data had been exfiltrated. He said third parties had access to all of my personal info and that they needed to verify some of my information before resuming with the disclosures. I told him I would call my credit union back to make sure there was a legit problem. "Sir, you …

I stopped buying books (or anything, really) from Amazon years ago, when it became apparent the working conditions at their many processing centres are appalling and they were actively busting unions. I have never regretted that stance, and I have always been able to find the books, etc. I need from other sources.
I hope more authors — and big name ones too — will follow this lead.

I pulled all my e-books off Kindle yesterday because of this. It effectively ends my writing career because, despite everyone complaining that Amazon is evil... nobody buys books from the many other stores my books are available on. I am sad. I am angry. I am *exhausted*. I am ONE indie author. I am nobody. My protest is utterly meaningless in the face of this ever-expanding AI takeover. Unless all indies do this, and all tradpub authors pressure their publishers to fight Amazon, my pulling m…

Content warning: Adult themes

1/ Deleting Facebook and Instagram from my phone has had a positive impact on my #wellbeing. I’m not really missing them. I realised that they mostly brought out negative emotions in me like anger and envy. I’m going to abstain from #porn next. I think porn has been damaging my relationship because it’s so…

Der Angriff auf das Hanukkah-Fest in Sydney ist erschütternd. Wir sind in Gedanken bei den Betroffenen und in Verbundenheit mit der jüdischen Gemeinschaft. Gegen jeden Hass, Gewalt und vor allem gegen jeden Antisemitismus!
Nie wieder heißt nie wieder wehrlos. Wir müssen jüdisches Leben mit allen Mitteln schützen! 🚩

What does it tell us that AI scrapers are ignoring the more intelligent way of scraping data despite all the indications towards it?

Stop crawling my HTML you dickheads - use the API!
One of the (many) depressing things about the "AI" future in which we're living, is that it exposes just how many people are willing to outsource their critical thinking. Brute force is preferred to thinking about how to efficiently tackle a problem. For some reason, my websites are regularly targetted by "scrapers" who want to gobble up all the HTML for their inscrutable purposes. The thing is, …

ParaEQsA: Parallel and Asynchronous Embodied Questions Scheduling and Answering
This paper formulates the Embodied Questions Answering (EQsA) problem, introduces a corresponding benchmark, and proposes a system to tackle the problem. Classical Embodied Question Answering (EQA) is typically formulated as answering one single question by actively exploring a 3D environment. Real deployments, however, often demand handling multiple questions that may arrive asynchronously and carry different urgencies. We formalize this setting as Embodied Questions Answering (EQsA) and prese…
