‘It’s terrifying’: WhatsApp AI helper mistakenly shares user’s number
> Waiting on the platform for a morning train that was nowhere to be seen, he asked Meta’s WhatsApp AI assistant for a contact number for TransPennine Express. The chatbot confidently sent him a mobile phone number for customer services, but it turned out to be the private number of a completely unconnected WhatsApp user 170 miles away in Oxfordshire.

Good to keep in mind, that at the end of the day, in whose interests is it to try and normalize the idea of "algorithms on the fediverse"? Strip away all the cultspeak woo about self-empowerment and you'll find you won't like the answer

Added a new "War Profiteering" category to the Meta Nightmares page of the Free Fediverse wiki today. Only a couple links so far, but I know - like all the other categories - it will fill in quickly

Meta – yep, Facebook Meta – is now a defense contractor
"Meta has partnered with Anduril Industries to build augmented and virtual reality devices for the military."

#Fedipact - The instances blocking Zuckerberg's Threads.net
«I believe that Facebook represents one of the gravest threats to democracies around the world, and I am amazed that we have allowed our freedoms to be taken away by technology companies’ greed for growth and revenues.»
