archive.today and archive.ph (also .is, .md, .fo, .li, .vn) are DDOSing a blogger (pic) who investigated them. They could also be Russian assets (js from mail[.]ru).

It’s factual (except for it being actual gold), so where’s the mocking?
agentic AI
Everybody needs to know what that means.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agentic_AI
In the context of generative artificial intelligence, AI agents (also referred to as compound AI systems or agentic AI) are a class of intelligent agents that can pursue goals, use tools, and take actions with varying degrees of autonomy.
What Could Go Wrong ™
This is climate change denial in action. Any normal country would incentivize people to switch to EVs, not the opposite.
Oh I see. And people still pay for it…

Piefed post (I still don’t know how to share post links federated):

The other day someone posted a long Wired article about what it’s like to work as an AI “trainer”. Read that before you decide to give chatgpt even read access to your account.
Oh, that’s alright then.
Teehee, username checks out
What’s an ad tier? Honest question, I never used any streaming service.
Enshittification is inevitable. The only variable is how long it takes.
Cancel your subscription & come over to the Dark Side! (I do recommend learning some basics beforehand though)
Mmmm, edible USB sticks 🤤
Thanks you saved me a click.
Google has been doing this with all kinds of (web) standards, and the industry has always obeyed. Fuck’em all.
It flows in all directions
“Accused of”?
That’s how this stuff works. That’s its purpose. Google is a data broker, as is most of Big Tech.
Fucking gig economy: all the extra work you put in - signing up for yet another platform, installing software, and waiting for the actual work to begin - all unpaid.
Weeks of waiting for the “project” to begin. Then suddenly:
My Slack would fill up with GO TEAM GO messages from someone who was just out of college, someone who has no idea that across the decades, people have died trying to establish labor laws that protect workers from the exact same conditions that he is now responsible for perpetuating, accompanied by numerous rocket ship emoji reactions.
Not to speak of projects that never take off.
The wages were dropping week by week. When I first started scrolling the contractor jobs in early 2025, companies like Mercor, Handshake, Turing, Task-ify and Outlier were offering $150 an hour for “experts,” $35 to $75 an hour for “generalists.” Today, Mercor says the average hourly rate on its platform is $105. But in my searches across the industry near the start of 2026, the experts were often getting $50 an hour, and the entry-level grunt workers were getting as low as $16 —less than California minimum wage. Contracts were now referred to as “sprints.” The work had to be done, asap, as fast as possible, for employment that might last 24 hours.
Here’s a screenshot of the full article
PS: here’s why I don’t even click on archive.is (also .today, .md, .fo, .li, .vn, .ph) anymore:
Every page contains (and has for months) this code. It’s a DDOS attack on a blogger who dared to investigate who runs the site.
Further, archive.nn started altering archived pages:
Do not use it anymore. It’s not enough that µBlock blocks the attack, because many people don’t use it. Also you’re increasing archive.nn’s popularity.
Sorry for distracting from the article itself, which is heartwrenching.
Am I seeing this right, there’s even one in Texas?
All hope is not lost.
Didn’t expect to see one of you types in the fediverse.
No, you’re wrong. Human induced climate change and its dangers are all very real. Sure, the news reporting is sensationalist, but the facts are all there for you to check out, science going back almost a century.
