Auster

Personally, while I see what the author means, I don’t agree 100%. What I think is bound to happen is that manual development will lose market share, but not fade away completely. Like stone aqueducts still being needed in some cases despite pipes being a thing, some companies may require proof of work, which could be better achieved with humans. Also, not from a commercial angle per se, but for code reviewers, knowing how to write their own codes would help the oddities in machine-generated code, and fix/improve where needed, meaning at least for study they’d need to do it.

“Starting in Brazil”

Not as much of a proactive people, from what I can see in person, but the “jeitinho brasileiro” hopefully will show ways to make Android programs without Google’s tools.

Going by title alone, sounds like a false flag. If people that are against read it, they could feel like they’re in a comfortable spot and lower pressure. And with so many companies implementing LLMs to their services, the push growing weaker would allow these companies to gain even more space, for there is no vacuum in power.

Still need to read the article itself, but manipulation by headlines is a common strategy.

Because God forbid using anything other than their own generated subs. Or to have options.

If that’s a push to their AI systems, while AI has its uses, when coincidences or fuck ups are too consistent, it may not be either anymore. And thus it feels like Google is trying to tarnish AI to the point even supporters move away from it.

To the OP: since diggita uses Lemmy, I’d suggest setting the post language to Italian when posting in that language. That’d let users leverage their instances’ language filter settings.

And a translation by Google of the article:

Beyond the blackout: Digital Apartheid is born

According to Filterwatch reports also reported by The Guardian, the Iranian regime is developing a plan to turn access to the global web into a "government privilege".

Instead of blocking specific sites, the regime is reportedly implementing a “white list”: that way, only domestic services hosted on the National Information Network (NIN) would be allowed to function.

Access to the web could only be granted to previously "screened" and authorized individuals and institutions, creating a system of digital apartheid.

According to some testimonies, it seems that the network seems active (the signal icon is there), but the data does not flow or the connection "pulses" (disconnects every few seconds), a technique used to discourage the use of VPNs.

The report would confirm the total collapse of e-commerce and domestic logistics as “collateral damage” necessary to maintain political control and prevent protest coordination by completing the infrastructure necessary for a permanent detachment from the World Wide Web, replacing it with a fully surveilled national network.

It could be the end of the “open” internet in Iran, replaced by a closed network that serves as both a tool of surveillance and a weapon of political isolation.```

Also energy consumption in such cases is bound to skyrocket.
