I didn't use #AI this morning to help me solve a CSS issue I had. I didn't even use a search engine for it... well I did try a search, but quickly changed course because I realized that it wasn't so much the answer that I was lacking. I was having difficulty with the question.

In the end it was actually faster to slow down. I'm already well proficient in #CSS so I only needed to get through 4 pages of the Flex Layouts chapter before I realized what I was overlooking.

https://blog.davep.org/2026/03/03/hike-1-3-0.html

Good news: the Govt. has decided to pause its potential relaxation of copyright laws to facilitate the theft & scraping of 'protected' content by AI/LLM 'research'.

Less good: after a consultation which largely demonstrated significant support for leaving copyright as is, Labour is still thinking how it can accommodate Big Tech's demand to be allowed to steal information with impunity.

So copyright remains in play, leaving uncertainty for anyone depending on its rules.

DHS BUILT A FACE SCANNING APP. YOU MIGHT ALREADY BE IN IT.

They came to his workplace armed with guns, gas canisters and artificial intelligence. He fought back with his quick wit and street smarts.

What happened next is a preview of what routine face scans could look like on American streets, in this special France 24–Mother Jones report.

Abdikafi Abdurahman Abdullahi, known as Kafi, is one of the few people willing to speak publicly about being subjected to the Department of Homeland Security’s new facial recognition tool, Mobile Fortify.

The Somali-American engineer-turned-Uber driver was waiting for a fare in an airport rideshare lot on January 7th, just hours after Renee Good was shot and killed by federal agents. As he watched a video of her death on his phone, there was a knock on his car door. Outside stood roughly a dozen ICE agents, demanding proof of his citizenship.

Kafi, who is Black and Muslim, refused to show his ID, arguing he was being racially profiled. Instead, he began filming, and his unflappable, mischievous comebacks transformed his video into a viral sensation.

The Department of Homeland Security officially acknowledged the existence of Mobile Fortify in January. But by then it had already been used over 100,000 times in American communities, according to recent court filings.

“This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society that we have always professed to abhor here in the United States,” warned ACLU attorney Nate Wessler

The learning gets reinforced when you're witnessing that you keep getting away with BS. Many things do no longer have to effectively work, but just to look as if they were.

The only exception being when there are physical (e.g., medical) or financial consequences that hit individual users, directly.

Accountability is key here. Being held financially accountable for the recommendations or decisions of the "#AI" you're selling would be a game changer.

The claim "you won't be replaced by AI, but by a person using AI" is nonsense. The Block layoff victims were some of the most productive, #llm pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what layoffs are about.

- stock go up

Even more than Gleam community the AS/AP based fediverse faces existential threats where it comes to the promise to lead us towards "the future of social networking", a peopleverse. And #AI poses high danger risks that must be known, so we can anticipate and mitigate them timely.

But above all we have to find ways to constructively collaborate with each in this chaotic grassroots environment we are part of.

#Collaboration and #cocreation at scale, organic growth and sustainable evolution are applied research areas of Social coding commons, where participants add value while working on their own solutions, following their self-interests in alignment with those of other people

Whatever we think of #AI / #LLM mad hype cycle, we have to deal with its rushed and inhumane dumping of the technology into global human society.

#CALMculture is a strategic approach to that allows activist voices to have the most impact in dealing with the dangers of disruptive technology introductions, and focuses beyond berating people and demanding sacrifice ("don't use, or else.."), to creating a process that helps win people over and work together on best outcomes and in direction of solutions.

#CALM stands for Constructive activism-led movements, such as Social coding commons. Coding is social, and #SocialCoding the holistic approach to ensure that.

Social coding commons evolves Social experience design or #SX, solution development for grassroots movements, supported by the #SocialWeb.

In the thread below I copied a post to #Gleam's community with a suggestion to ponder about best outcomes from current and ongoing AI disruption, and deal with risks.

@mako Oops!

Even while I commented on the Brave New World in which we live, I forgot the constant vigilance now required in that Brave New World.

Namely, I must ask you the sad question we have to always ask now:
Can you vouch your video records an authentic response from G-E-H-munnye & has not been — say — modified by an #LLM-backed #AI from one of #Google's competitors?

Even w/ our friends we must “trust but verify” anything we see or hear to confirm it's not mutilated by AI slop.

#Gemini

Here's a good, subtle way to show resistance to #LLM-backed #AI slop that @mako found!

I encourage everyone — when referring to the #Google product — to pronounce “Gemini” as “Gee-eee-H-munnye”¹.

Big Tech thinks these systems should replace human workers, & it *is* rude to pronounce workers' names wrong!

¹ Fascinating that it put an ‘h’ in there? 🤔 LLMs are indeed very lossy compression systems.

In a video — originally posted by @mako@social.coop at https://social.coop/@mako/116155350998611598 — a user asks an apparent stock Google Android in the “Gemini” assistant app. The device answers both in text and out loud with a computer-generated voice that its name is pronounced “G-U-H-munnye”.

Inb4 Duo responds and makes the statement:

"These Persona services are opt-in by the client as additional features. We do not integrate them into our core product."

to which the answer to that response is:

"Yeah, the CLIENT opts in, meaning the COMPANY opts in... the employees have no say. The *employees*, all of us, can only opt out by being fired."

Edit: Reading Duo's privacy statement though, I'm not sure if the client actually can opt out. It looks like its fully integrated right now. Clients may opt to require employees to scan their faces... but it looks like IDV with Persona is fully integrated into the above mentioned services. So yay.

#Duo #Persona #Privacy #AI #infosec #Discord

@alien8 - Yeah, I figure any statement by Duo will absolutely push the whole "its not enabled by default" and its the client's decision to use it.

Which ignores the core point - the employees (once a client enables it) have no say. By even offering this, they put so many people in the position of "accept this or quit" which is not consent.

Especially in the US where one's job is tied to access to healthcare and where many live paycheck to paycheck and if they quit or get fired, they run the real risk of going hungry or losing their house.

Yeah, that Persona.

Duo integrates it into Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and even Duo Essentials...

If we agree that Claude is just a tool, like Black, isort, or Ruff, then we should also agree that tools shouldn’t list themselves as co-authors of commits.

We never had to make a rule about Black or isort doing that, because they never tried. If newer tools insist on adding themselves in “Co-authored-by”, an explicit rule may simply prevent that bad behavior.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@nedbat/116133445557306539

I got Ned's point, but I don’t think we can treat Claude (or similar tools) at the same level as a person.

We've never added tools (e.g. isort, Black, Ruff, ...) as co-authors of commits, even when they generated 100% of a commit.

Listing Claude as a co-author of a commit put it the same level as a person, but it's a tool.

The author of a commit is a person responsible for the code they submit, without shifting that responsibility to the tool, or worse, to the project maintainers.

#FOSS #AI

@nedbat@hachyderm.io

The AI hype-cyclone is bad, but so is the anti-AI witch hunt. Commits co-authored by Claude do not mean that a project has "abandoned engineering as a serious endeavor"

Would we say that accepting contributions from new developers means we've "abandoned engineering as a serious endeavor"? No.

Claude can write wrong code. New contributors can write wrong code. What matters is what you do with that code after it's been written.

reckon this's pretty good

'Rejecting or resisting a commercial technology designed to attempt a mass wealth transfer and to erode public institutions is a valid political position. This rejection can manifest as a kneejerk “plagiarism machine sucks” tweet or a slogan on a poster board at a picket line or a policy paper. And just because someone is rejecting a technology and the broader project it is a part of, does not mean they do not understand it. Oftentimes that rejection is entirely informed, warranted, and rational'

That is entirely the wrong headed (giggity) approach, IMHO.

A big part of man(person)-machine interface is the control and responsibility remaining in human hands.

Not so long ago, the few of us geeks who foresaw where machine brains would take us, campaigned in #stopkillerrobots.
A campaign to keep human decision making in military #killchain
A campaign that failed spectacularly, in no small part, I am sure to uniformed Doctorow analogues dismissing it as unnecessary farsical puppetry.

Even now, I actively strive to #regulateAI IRL and human decision making is essential and imperative in AI.
The "reverse centaur" is a canard, as much as a driver of a motorcar is not pulling the cargo by their muscle.

AI is not going away for the same reason we don't see "Picks and shovels" (!) digging infrastructure trenches anymore. Machines have been eating jobs since the 1700s and it's only scary now because the white collars are on the chopping block.

I have huge respect for @pluralistic and his role, which he fulfills admirably is an activist, a what we call in Australia, a shitstirer. His opinions stimulate debate, but keeping an expert in the decision chain, if it's only a tick box is a good thing.

Call it a "moral crumple zone" if you will.
Removing it all together is bad and I am disturbed anyone would try to make hay of this.
The alternative is full automation and I am sure all the #AI "fans" would agree it's a bad thing.

#AI can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in #wargame simulations
Leading AIs from #OpenAI, #Anthropic and #Google opted to use #nuclearweapons in simulated war games in 95% of cases
The scenarios involved intense international standoffs, including border disputes, competition for scarce resources and existential threats to regime survival.

What could go wrong?

For those worried about the stories about #AI and #NuclearWeapons:

The real danger with #nuclear weapons is humans

We built them, we built AI

We have constructed elaborate “strategies" detailing that the only way to protect humans from nuclear weapons is for multiple countries to have a bunch of nuclear weapons

We are the danger, always have been

Just like 2008 had "Subprime Mortgages (or "Dot Com" crash) that nobody understood, 2026 has "Circular AI Revenue" deals. Ex: Microsoft gives money to OpenAI, who gives it back to Microsoft for Azure credits, which Microsoft then reports as "AI Growth".

Microsoft and Nvidia fund AI startups that buy their own tech back to report "growth." With $600b burning in data centers in 2026 alone but no real revenue to back it up.

If that loop snaps, the "fuck up" will be massive.

RE: https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116117369092128169

I think one of the fundamental issues of everyday AI is that even if it works perfectly and doesn't take all our water, it's self limiting in that AI is only cool if it's doing things you can't do. At a certain point, AI runs into the trap of making easy things hard and hard things easy.

Humans have a great propensity to learn and recalibrate without even realizing we're doing so. Most of the things we encounter on a daily basis already lean toward the easy things. As the skill gap shrinks even more, the balance will tip toward AI wanting to help with things we don't need help with.

There's a paradox of asking for help with small things. It often takes more effort to ask for help than to do it yourself. Whatever cognitive savings someone may gain from use of an #AI agent initially will eventually invert as they run into the paradigm of asking for help.

When you know what you want and how to do it, anything that tries to help becomes Clippy.

I'd like to comment on the common "AI is just a tool" thing: I'm a woodworker by training & that means a lot of machines - but almost every craftsperson knows how to do their job with hand tools, or "lesser" machines.

Similarly, a writer can write without a text editor - just as well, only slower.

If loss of a tool = loss of your skill & knowledge, then that tool isn't an asset, it's a liability. You're signing over your ability to do business to whoever sells & maintains that tool.

“This flood of low-quality and fake content from AI is particularly affecting minor languages. AI acts as a type of hyper machine translation. These minor languages then become overwhelmed by AI translations and other fake AI content.”

Reading this with Danish-speaking eyes, I realised that this problem had never occurred to me. Hvor dejligt. A whole new consequence of contemporary AI to dislike.

From '99th Day: A Warning About Technology' by Gerry McGovern

#AI #Books
#Language

Alt...

Passage 99th Day: “AI is efficiently churning out fake books on how to get rich quick or to how to code quick. Once you’ve found an AI author on Amazon, with fake face and fake bio, then Amazon will recommend you a range of other fake AI authors. AI can churn out books in the blink of an eye. If you write a popular book, AI will efficiently write fake workbooks to accompany your book, riddled with lies and errors. When a celebrity or even semi-celebrity dies, the next morning AI will have a book published on them, full of lies, misquotes and misinformation. This flood of low-quality and fake content from AI is particularly affecting minor languages, which don’t have a lot of original content published on the Web to begin with. A lot of content initially gets written in major languages such as English, and then, if it is translated at all into minor languages, it is usually done by machine translation. AI acts as a type of hyper machine translation. These minor languages then become overwhelmed by AI translations and other fake AI content.’ “We find that indiscriminate use of model-generated content in training causes irreversible defects in the resulting models in which tails of the original content distribution disappear." AI begins to feed on itself, to train and learn from its own crap. They call this “model collapse” because the data will get worse & worse and all sorts of weird things will begin to happen. If AI were a digestive system, it would have no capacity to poop"

This is a really good opinion piece by an ex-Amazon L7 manager (senior manager, just below Director) on how #AI is a smokescreen that hides the real reason #Amazon has been shedding workforce: their gross over-hiring during the COVID lockdowns, and a growing culture of blame-shifting politics; and how the dysfunction led her to quit.

While I disagree with some of the vlogger’s conclusions, the whole piece generally rings true to me.
