• Barbarism is played out

    “I am not sorry we note the barbarous horror of [cannibalism], but grieved that, prying so narrowly into [the Tupinambá’s in Brazil] faults, we are so blinded in ours. I think there is more barbarism in eating men alive than to feed upon them being dead; to mangle by tortures and torments a body full of lively sense, to roast him in pieces, to make dogs and swine to gnaw and tear him in mammocks (as we have not only read but seen very lately, yea and in our own memory, not amongst ancient enemies but our neighbors and fellow-citizens; and, which is worse, under pretense of piety and religion), than to roast and eat him after he is dead.”

    – Michel de Montaigne. Of Cannibals, 1850

  • Detectable AI is played out

    LLMs are awesome and all, but one caveat is you might get caught using them ; AKA cheating. Fear no more. One small company is about to revolutionize the AI revolution. Introducing: Cluely, “an undetectable AI that sees your screen, hears your calls, and feeds you answers – in real time.” If you haven’t heard the name yet, you will soon. In a world flooded with chatbots, virtual assistants, and “intelligent” tools that promise the moon and barely deliver a flashlight, Cluely AI is a quiet revolution.

    Cluely AI: The Ghost in Your Machine (and Why That’s a Good Thing)

    Cluely AI is more than just LLM. It’s a decision intelligence platform that helps users — from startup founders to enterprise teams — make sense of complexity. It silently observes how you operate, silently picks up patterns, and starts offering guidance that feels like it came from someone who’s been in your head for weeks. A little spooky at first, sure. But that’s normal. It’s a ghost.

    Cluely doesn’t demand your attention — it quietly earns it. It’s the ghost in your machine: intelligent, intuitive, and often undetectable… until you realize it’s been making you look smarter all along.

    If using such tech feels like cheating, it’s because it is. As the company’s manifesto admits transparently, Cluely wants you to cheat on everything. Because when everyone does, no one is. And nobody gets caught.

    The future is now.

  • DeGoogling is played out

    NO. I didn’t quit posting on this blog for the umpteenth time. I was away travelling in France and as the French say: je m’en tamponnais le coquillard. Nor did I completely deGoogled myself, yet.

    Cuz it’s hard.

    Or is it?

    Been running calyxOS on my Pixel phone for over 2 weeks now, and it’s pretty awesome! Installing was a breeze and I’m no techie. The only downside so far is that I can’t receive group text messages as it relies on RCS and “Google [is] enforcing Play Integrity checks against the operating system before allowing RCS. Therefore it won’t work on custom ROMs in general.

    Edit (june 30th 2025): I’m able to receive group text via sms on the default app. All I had to do was log off from RCS chat in Google. Sweet!

    My solution was to tell the few people I had group texts with that I wouldn’t be able to receive their messages this way anymore and invited them to switch to signal. Nobody has, yet. Too bad. Luckily, I don’t have that many friends or family groups that need to coordinate activities. We’ll find other ways if needed. And I’m ready to be that guy who is a little more complicated to communicate with, because he values his privacy. The more people do it, the more it will become fashionable. Business/governments will follow.

    The DeGoogle community (and related ones) on Lemmy is what pushed me to finally, at least start, make the move.

    I haven’t completely deGoogled myself, yet. I still have a gmail account but slowly migrating to proton. Baby steps. It feels good to have a goal.
