nalekberov··on The Companies Cutting Headcount for AI Will Lose to the Ones Who Didn't
> Not because they have fewer costs. Because they have more capability.

This kind of sentences are typically AI-generated. What’s the point of an article about AI generated by AI?

nalekberov··on Meta blocks human rights accounts from reaching audiences in Arabia and the UAE
That or they will be blocked completely.

Who's naive enough to think that big corporations like Meta would care about human rights?

nalekberov··on OpenAI and Government of Malta partner to roll out ChatGPT Plus to all citizens
Not sure who is more corrupt these days: governments or big corporations.

What’s dangerous here is people will eventually stop thinking critically altogether, about anything, and their view of the world will be based on what they are shown on AI apps.

nalekberov··on Meta employees protest against mouse tracking tech at US offices
When such technologies are used to track masses, Meta employees just shrug, when it’s used to track them, it’s unacceptable.

“The ox does not mind the yoke until it is on his own neck.”

nalekberov··on EU to crack down on TikTok, Instagram's 'addictive design' targeting kids
Why, it’s always okay to harm adults?

Like adults spending their hours scrolling through infinite feed is somehow beneficial to the society?

nalekberov··on GitLab announces workforce reduction and end of their CREDIT values
I will never trust nor respect businesses, who fires its people because “AI agents can plan, code, review, deploy, and repair”.
nalekberov··on Google Cloud fraud defense, the next evolution of reCAPTCHA
I am almost certain that labs in India and China have already developed a solution to bypass the “Scan this QR” method.

What is easier than pointing a camera at a QR code and commanding and an AI bot to follow the next steps?

nalekberov··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
Oh, you right, thanks for pointing this out. Indeed, I referred to privacy.
nalekberov··on Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
> When Google stuffs AI into everything, people shrug. Can't expect anything else from big tech.

Because this is something expected from Google. Google has never committed to security, but Mozilla did.

EDIT: I meant privacy, not security.

nalekberov··on Stop big tech from making users behave in ways they don't want to
She had, apparently.
nalekberov··on Stop big tech from making users behave in ways they don't want to
The Irony is that in order to read this entry I had to pass a cookie wall, which gave me only ‘Accept all’ and ‘Manage’. Then I couldn’t read it, because I had no subscription.
nalekberov··on OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft Back Bill to Fund 'AI Literacy' in Schools
What is ‘AI Literacy’? How to prepare a prompt for maximum token efficiency?
nalekberov··on Removable batteries in smartphones will be mandatory in the EU starting in 2027
1,000 charge cycles is hardly even 4 years. I’m not sure what this regulation is trying to fix. That ultimately means landfills will be filled with more iPhone Ns.
nalekberov··on ChatGPT serves ads. Here's the full attribution loop
No, this is late stage capitalism without regulation.
nalekberov··on Tim Cook Is Leaving. Good
Agreed, System Settings was the worst redesign in entire Apple history in my humble opinion. Previously it was so simple that you didn’t have to scroll.

At some point Apple should realize that, it’s okay to not touch core design principles.

nalekberov··on F-35 is built for the wrong war
Comparing DIY to war is another level of ignorance.

Well I guess the only thing I can ask you to please stop whataboutism and think about the consequences of the things rather than doing logical check.

nalekberov··on F-35 is built for the wrong war
You are talking as if war in Iran is a natural process that people have no involvement.

Having such articles in 2026 is a shame to begin with.

“A piece of equipment” is used to attack living bodies, if you don’t get the point, well.. there is no point to argue with you.

nalekberov··on Brussels launched an age checking app. Hackers took 2 minutes to break it
In theory, maybe yes. But in practice people do share their phones with their kids.
nalekberov··on Brussels launched an age checking app. Hackers took 2 minutes to break it
The title seems totally misleading.

The app still hasn’t launched. There’s only so long you can run on hype before you lose the readers you were trying to win over.

nalekberov··on John Ternus to become Apple CEO
If Apple really wants to keep their long term users in its ecosystem, it should really drop stupid Liquid glass design, stop making macOS look like its mobile OSs, and bring skeuomorphism back, which was removed by John Ive.
nalekberov··on F-35 is built for the wrong war
Is there a “right” war?
nalekberov··on Anna's Archive loses $322M Spotify piracy case without a fight
yeah, rutracker is to my knowledge the biggest and "cleanest" semi-public tracker.
nalekberov··on Anna's Archive loses $322M Spotify piracy case without a fight
Those are just crappy replicas of 'The Pirate Bay'. Full of annoying junk ads. 1337x is probably the biggest public tracker.
nalekberov··on Apple update looks like Czech mate for locked-out iPhone user
"Never do a major OS update on any Apple product" - this is the mantra I am telling myself always.
nalekberov··on The future of everything is lies, I guess – Part 5: Annoyances
> Right now, they are utilized to further the class divide between rich and poor.

Ironically this was the main reason LLMs were introduced in the first place, not to benefit the poor, but to widen the gap between the rich and the poor.

nalekberov··on Why do we tell ourselves scary stories about AI?
> “The last four years have demonstrated that AI agents can acquire the will to survive and that AIs have already learned how to lie.”

Why Harari feels an obligation to comment about everything is of course beyond me, but describing 'AI' as if it takes independent decisions to lie, make moral judgements, etc. demonstrates either that he has zero clue how 'AI' trains itself or that he chooses to mislead the audience.

nalekberov··on John Deere to pay $99M in right-to-repair settlement
Unfortunately most people has a price in this world. Those who can’t be bought are just so rare.
nalekberov··on Cloudflare targets 2029 for full post-quantum security
Yet, the same Cloudflare wants to control entire internet traffic single-handedly.

The Internet was not created for this.

One could argue that 'but they are very good at preventing DDoS attacks' — yes they are; however, they have always loved control and kept their technology proprietary to lock their customers into their systems. And one day, a single line of code disrupted many services on the web.

Centralization and monopolies are much bigger threats to the future of the internet, IMHO. (Which always follows the same pattern: give your customers free or unbelievably cheaper services, even at a loss, lock them in, then jack up the price.)

nalekberov··on A macOS bug that causes TCP networking to stop working after 49.7 days
I rarely restart my Mac mini, and I have never had such an issue beyond my internet provider suddenly stopping properly working in the middle of the night.
nalekberov··on Got kicked out of uni and had the cops called for a social media website I made
Apparently he got what he deserved, his karma currently is -17 (have never seen a negative karma).
