Knowing who is human would not stop AI slop. People copy and paste AI slop. This is just another step in the sudden storm taking away internet anonymity. The west has been envying China's level of citizen control too long, figures it's time to level up. Before long the free internet is going to be led by Edgar Friendly.

I am getting tired of Slashdot's attempt to ensure the reader never leaves the site, by creating ridiculously long summaries that are usually written to a lower standard than TFA. Pick a damned lane - feeder summary or full write-up, and if the latter, please do a much better job, including illustrations as necessary (since these are often in TFA).

Just read in this thread that iPhone 13 support set to end around 2028, vs 2029 for iPhone 14. I have a 13, and will keep it either til something essential refuses to update to anything that old, or support and security updates end. I'm hoping by then that some 'rebel' FOSS phone will be gaining traction, even if I have to live without Whatsapp and some other loss leaders that keep us all in the mainstream.

Opportunism. Not surprising a company would want to flood a market that has recently seen such an upturn in credibility and adoption. Right now, their shovelware is considered in that context of credible human output. Once they have created an impossible signal-to-noise ratio (which, at this scale, they can accomplish almost overnight), the noise will turn podcasting away from algorithmic recommendation and towards human-made reviews.

Submission + - SPAM: Emoji Prompts Bypass AI Content Filters

An anonymous reader writes: A new study finds that emoji-laced prompts can slip past the content filters in major AI chatbots, including GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude, and LLaMA. By substituting sensitive words with emojis, researchers triggered toxic or harmful responses that the plain-text versions failed to elicit.

The attack works across multiple languages and beats older jailbreak methods. Apparently, the models treat emojis as semantically neutral or ambiguous, letting dangerous meanings pass unfiltered. You can even ask for bomb-making tips, as long as you sprinkle in a few smileys.

I saw this Johnson stuff develop over about nine months, and it was quite cool, though I doubt it ever got perfected. Ultimately, despite Trump's ban on states making AI laws, there is going to be a Hindenberg trial result that even the powers-that-be won't be able to sway, and that will be the precedent...well, not for the death of AI, but for a significant reboot away from systems benefiting from ANY non-licensed data.

I moved my whole LAN to IoT Enterprise LTSC in February, and be aware, it's no picnic. You'd be surprised how useful the Microsoft Store is for essential setup stuff, and you have to jump through hoops on GitHub to get it installed and working on LTSC. There are a lot of other caveats too, not least the price - I ended up paying about $100 USD per installation, but you can pay way more. I'm glad I did it, and I still recommend it, but it's not friction-free by any means.
