These AI SEO spam operations have used lists of common searches to ensure that their pages come up first in searches in the “long fat tail” the kind of search where it used to be about 50/50 if you’d find a page addressing your needs. But, it used to be if you found something like “The top 15 smallest ants in the world” it wouldn’t be nonsense. It’d either exist and be the work of another person who cared OR you found nothing. Not so now! I can’t possibly over-stress how bad this is! 1/

@futurebird fuck

somehow this paragraph really made it click for me a large part of my desperation nowadays.

I see colleagues and friend using search engines and tools to solve problems which even at best will give them the immediate answer, and not give them a trip through the "close enough" or documentations for their problems, which was what made me evolve to understand not only my disciplines, but all other which touched on them.

And at worst it will only give them a thousand of regurgitated spam pages which won't give any correct results.

I have no idea how the concept of learning evolves from this.

I think most people are writing the rabbit r1 by Teenage Engineering as "another AI no one asked for" that might be true... HOWEVER LAM "Large Action Model" sounds interesting. An assistant to be able to use apps, not use APIs... literally use the apps by clicking buttons & such. But, the reason it sounds interesting is that fleeting hope it might, at long last, help me to avoid the little UI bugs/failings that drive me nuts in many apps.

Which begs the question: why not just fix the UIs? 1/

@futurebird regarding all their LAM talk and how it is a lie at the end: https://web.archive.org/web/20240423183114/https://github.com/rabbitscam/rabbitr1

But on good news regarding devices with physical interfaces, specifically for music players: https://cooltech.zone/tangara/

Still thinking about the concept of studying ant communication by getting down to ant level. Make a tiny robot (we don't know how to make walking robots that small, so wheels it is) the robot would have a camera, little pads to collect pheromones (which could be dropped off to be analyzed) antennae IR sensors and maybe a way to stridulate?

Then one could really find out what's going on in there.

Worst case you have made an immersive ant VR experience!

@futurebird for reference, the Champalimaud foundation ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champalimaud_Foundation ) has created tiny lenses for tiny screens to project VR environments for flies and to monitor their neurological feedback.

So this seems like the opposite half to your VR experience, but some technology could be adapted.
