China Court Says AI Can’t Replace Employees As An Excuse For Layoffs China's Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court has ruled that businesses cannot terminate employees solely due to the introduction of AI technologies. China has just sent a pretty clear message to businesses experimenting with AI-driven efficiency: you can’t simply replace people with machines and call it a day. In a recent ruling, the Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court stated that using artificial intelligence as a substitute for human labour does not automatically justify firing employees. The decision came after a dispute between an employee and an AI-focused company and it’s already being seen big moment in the ongoing debate around jobs and automation.

Alt...

Why The Ruling Matters The nub of the matter was a key legal question: does AI replacing human work count as a “major change in circumstances” under China’s Labour Contract Law? The court said no. It found that the company failed to prove Zhou’s job had become impossible to perform. In other words, just because AI can do something doesn’t mean the human role becomes redundant overnight. Legal experts cited in the case material emphasised that while companies can adopt AI for efficiency, they still have responsibilities toward employees.

@paco@infosec.exchange

Wow. Richard Dawkins off the deep end.
‘So my own position is: “If these machines are not conscious, what more could it possibly take to convince you that they are?”’

First he goes on and on about the Turing test like it is some kind of law handed down. Like, the fact that sequences of output tokens so closely resemble speech they might pass Turing’s test. He views a moving of the goalpost (Turing’s test apparently isn’t enough to distinguish consciousness) as unreasonable. Like Turing got it right and it’s wrong to say otherwise.

And then he has these risible conversations: ‘I then asked her whether, when she read my novel, she read the first word before the last word. No, she read the whole book simultaneously.’ Let’s not ignore the ‘she’. The thing has a name. ‘Claude.’ It implies a gender. But Richard Dawkins genders it and genders it female. I don’t think that’s a random thing.

We know how computers work. It absolutely does read the book byte-by-byte, in a sequential series of input tokens. It does not matter that the thing output some words that said otherwise. It is wrong. Why doesn’t it matter that the output is plainly incorrect? Where does the disconnection between the reality and the words come into the picture?

This is just drivel.

Who is Adële (smolweb dev)? Adële is a French PHP and JavaScript developer who's one of the more visible voices in the smolweb scene. She runs a blog at adele.pages.casa about smolweb, the Gemini protocol, and the lowtech movement, and she operates pollux.casa — a small infrastructure that includes pages.casa (static/markdown hosting), a Gemini capsule platform, and a GoToSocial Fediverse instance at social.pollux.casa. She codified smolweb.org as a reference for the philosophy: lightweight, decentralized, JavaScript-light or JavaScript-free pages built with basic HTML and CSS, designed to load on slow connections and modest devices. Her own framing distinguishes "smolweb" from "small web" — small web being about decentralization and independence from platforms, smolweb being more specifically about the craft of intentional technical minimalism, fighting bloat and overcomplification. On the building side, she's behind tools like ergol-http (Gemini-to-HTML on the fly), smolmd (the engine behind pages.casa), and more recently SmolFedi — a Fediverse client compatible with Mastodon and GoToSocial that has zero JavaScript and stays within smolweb Grade B for CSS, designed to work in browsers like Dillo or Netsurf. Stack-wise: Arch Linux at home, Debian in production, procedural PHP, vanilla JS, no Docker, no Node.

It's very critic of the technology but assumes you all know the very basics of why is it bad and focuses on what's not advertised enough: OpenAI and Anthropic cannot survive when most of the AI advocates and devs are starting to turn on them realising they don't need them.

I'm going to explain why that is happening, why their business model will fail, what's all the adjacent tech will kill their USP and why I see the fediverse...

And that’s been blatantly obvious for years. On an economic basis, a monthly subscription only makes sense with relatively static costs.

Security researcher Alexander Hanff wrote an article titled Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop. Anthropic has not denied the report, as of time of post.

TLDR: If a user installs Claude Desktop on a Mac (pc test results tba), it installs a backdoor into every browser, even those not installed. By testing on a clean machine, Hanff discovered that Installing Claude Desktop for macOS drops a Native Messaging host manifest into multiple Chromium profiles (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera, Chromium), even including for browsers that are not actually installed yet.

How bad is it? Well...that depends. What it does is create a very wide attack vector, especially for prompt injection. That it is done invisibly, without telling the user, and making it difficult to remove, is certainly problematic.

I dunno man, maybe don’t use the planet destroying tulip craze?

#AI #Bingo

My university system (SUNY) has mandated that all gen ed courses with quantitative or information literacy components include a bunch of stuff about #AI. The good news is that we are not mandated to cheerlead AI or teach people how to use it, but the latter is almost mandated by the language of what we have to address. We also have to have specific assignments about AI.

My assignments will not leave students with a false sense that AI is benign or ethically OK. I expect some pushback, but this is one of the things I'm willing to get ugly about. Plenty of faculty have jumped on board the university/system administration's many other messages about teaching "ethical use" of #AI, integrating it into all classes to teach students how to use it "effectively" and "non-harmfully," etc. You can probably guess, from my tone, what I think of this and how many swear words my thoughts might contain.

I'm not required to incorporate content about about other technologies like cryptocurrency, NFTs, crowdsourced knowledge bases, goFundMe, or (heaven forbid) open-source software. Nope, just AI. This feels like the corporate managers of #US #highered being as corporate as their sad little suit-wearing, jargon-spewing selves can possibly be.

I really hope we come out of this someday understanding just how anti-labor, anti-environment, anti-peace, anti-freedom, and basically anti-human this top-down push for #genAI is. Fuck everything about this.

The UK Home Office has responded to questions raised by Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP on its use of AI tools in the asylum decision-making process, informed by ORG's work.

The answers raise serious concerns. These systems are being rolled out without meaningful transparency or governance.

Read more ⬇️

https://www.publictechnology.net/2026/04/15/society-and-welfare/second-ai-system-deployed-for-asylum-caseworkers-to-be-deployed-this-month-as-ministers-vow-decision-makers-cannot-use-the-tool-by-itself-to-decide-a-claim/

#AI #asylum #immigration #homeoffice #ukpolitics #ukpol

AI tools in UK asylum decision-making are being deployed first, while safeguards, oversight and transparency are treated as secondary.

This approach carries serious risks to fairness, accountability, and the protection of rights.

Training alone is no replacement for proper governance frameworks.

#AI #asylum #immigration #homeoffice #ukpolitics #ukpol

The key issues with the use of AI tools in the UK asylum system are:

🔴 No published Data Protection Impact Assessments.
🔴 No procedures governing the use of AI tools.
🔴 Being rolled-out before transparency.
🔴 Reliance on post-hoc oversight.
🔴 References to “human in the loop” without clarity over what power human decision-makers actually retain.

#AI #asylum #immigration #homeoffice #ukpolitics #ukpol

At a minimum, the use of AI tools must have:

✅️ Clear and published safeguards
✅️ Comply with government AI playbook
✅️ Defined accountability structures
✅️ Meaningful human oversight
✅️ Full transparency on how these systems are used

Without this, claims of responsible AI use remain unsubstantiated.

#AI #asylum #immigration #homeoffice #ukpolitics #ukpol

AI is not neutral. It can discriminate and make mistakes.

It shouldn't be used to change information that informs life-changing asylum assessments. Without adequate safeguards, there's a risk that unlawful or unfair decisions may result.

Ask your MP (UK) to stand against the use of AI tools in asylum ⬇️

There is one horrifying story in which #ChatGPT encouraged a 16-year-old from committing suicide, and discouraged the same kid from sharing the feelings with his mom. (around minute 20 of the video)
If you have children or know someone with kids, better check on the chatbots they are using. And if you struggle with mental health, exercise extreme caution

Because, duh, Rocky isn't injured by ammonia exposure, "he" BREATHES AMMONIA and is harmed by Earth-atmosphere. Just a movie, but about 1/10 of all Google AI Overview answers are reportedly WRONG -- tens of millions of wrong answers EVERY HOUR.

Just finished the last "Last Week Tonight", which had a segment about AI, and how dangerous the sycophantic bullshit machine is when asked for advice. But despite all the good points made, I'm honestly surprised how at no point they advised to not use it at all, acting like talking to a chatbot was something that one just does, and one just had to be careful while doing it. Sure, advice to call the suicide hotline when things get serious, but not the simple advice of "you don't have to use these things, and it might be healthier for people if they don't seek them out as friends".

I wonder if this is just a reflection of how much people depend on them already, how much the tech bros have made it feel this is truly inevitable, or just how our culture has lost its ability to resist whatever the big corporations are pushing.

AI/ML Security

<https://openssf.org/groups/ai-ml-security/> @openssf @linuxfoundation

＂This working group is situated at the intersection between security and artificial intelligence (AI). We explore the security risks associated with Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI (GenAI), and other forms of artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML), and their impact on open source projects, maintainers, their security, communities, and adopters. Furthermore, we explore using AI and ML to strengthen the security of other open source projects.

This group in collaborative research and peer organization engagement to explore topics related to AI and security. This includes security for AI development (e.g., supply chain security) but also using AI for security. We are covering risks posed to individuals and organizations by improperly trained models, data poisoning, privacy and secret leakage, prompt injection, licensing, adversarial attacks, and any other similar risks.

This group leverages prior art in the AI/ML space,draws upon both security and AI/ML experts, and pursues collaboration with other communities (such as the CNCF’s AI WG, LFAI & Data, AI Alliance, MLCommons, and many others) who are also seeking to research the risks presented by AL/ML to OSS in order to provide guidance, tooling, techniques, and capabilities to support open source projects and their adopters in securely integrating, using, detecting and defending against LLMs. …＂

AI Slop on YouTube

The amount of #AI Slop on #YouTube is growing by leaps and bounds. Particularly awful are the fake stories, AI purporting to show images and/or voices of actual persons still living (or now deceased), and similarly putrid, rotting, garbage AI. When you look at the comments on most of these, you will typically see a mix of viewers taken in by the AI crap, and others viewers pointing out the AI Slop in suitable terms. My policy is to downvote every AI video on YT that I stumble across, for the little good it does. Many of these videos have relatively few views, some however have a considerable number. But since they can be churned out so quickly, their creators attempt to make up in volume what they can't get in individual video views.

Google doesn't care either way. A click is a click. My suspicion is that #Google (as a firm) would be happy if there were NO human creators and they could create ALL YT videos via AI Slop by themselves. Think of it, no creator to pay their usual pittance, keep 100% of the ad revenue!

since the USA billion is devalued from a million to a thousand, and there is no need for assets to back a valuation, it has been relatively cheap for them to mint billionaires in their quest to colonize “the West”.

True, Michal, it's funny -- but not in a hah-hah way --that we hear so much from the tech bros about getting left behind in the Ai race, but nothing about getting left behind clinging to fossil fuels instead of switching to renewables.
Especially when the Ai centers are such blatant users of massive industrial quantities of fossil fuels.

Our team is moving from Azure DevOps to #Jira. In learning to navigate the new shiny, I happen to hit the very prominently display AI-button “Improve Description” on an Epic. I watch in horror as it starts to omit details and re-write the customer’s detailed description of what they want IT to do here. Luckily, I know this epic because I've been involved earlier. This enables me to catch the subtle changes that significantly alters the intent and meaning of the original text.

The new text is fine, good grammar and 100% plausible sounding, but IT IS NOT CORRECT!!!

Anyone coming in cold to the ticket would not know and then we'd possibly build the wrong thing, or at the very least, waste a lot of time backtracking why the customer claims we're wildly off track.

@nixCraft I'm seeing a lot of comments about #EU #GDPR & Right to be Forgotten, However to train its #AI #Atlassian either uses metadata (by definition no identifier, things like story points & tasks classes), or in-app data (think: comments), where it will "remove direct identifiers, aggregate data, and apply protections before using it for training". So in a nutshell, GDPR not applicable and in theory, no additional #security risk. Issues around #IP & #copyright remain wide open.

As long as I continue to write software you can never say “everybody is using AI to write software”.

In case you’re wondering: while not as extreme as illustrated by ISC (we don’t offer a bug bounty program), NLnet Labs suffers from a similar situation, in particular for Unbound.

Handling vulnerability reports, both valid ones and false positives, has now become a full time job for the entire Unbound team.

You can argue that it ultimately makes our resolver more secure, it also means we cannot work on building and releasing new features, like:

My tiny brain has yet to have been convinced that AI hype is a good thing for the environment, projects it gets foisted upon, creativity, or the human psyche.

Large language models on all corporate levels destroy everything around them.

I've done extensive research; it's so horrific that if crying about it would revert things I would have cried the Amazone river full.

LLMs as companions are bad news for the human Psyche. I have contact with a few victims of these LLMs who would rather {talk to} send strings to a mathematical model then speak to a real person. Serious pshychiatirc intervention is needed

I am going to find out also why massive projects, massive open source projects seem not to care about:

• the wasteland that those LLM driven data centers create
• the fact that we cannot buy
• memory
• ssds
• mechanical spinning hard drives
• full computing and household devices

... for nomal prices, because those critical components have been hijacked by data center underlords who can't even get enough permissions to build all those projects in reality

Part of it we all know, it's the LLM bubble, just like the house bubble in the USA some decades ago. Other part is that those underlords dont want us to owe our hardware anymore, so they can tighten their fascistic lock on the computing population.
Look how they want to force even open source OS to age gate the systems so they can get real ID globally

And I enjoy doing things the hard way

I've always done my projects from the bottom up, Linux when many sources needed to be crosscompiled in the alpha days from DOS, which was fun but tedious.
All current BSD flavours can be done that way too, if you still chose to do so, IIRC

#OpenSource

"Verbose changes. Nonsensical descriptions. Pull requests contributors can’t explain. AI is DDoS-ing open source software (OSS) with slop, and some maintainers are calling it quits.

As Steve Croce, field CTO at Anaconda, a Python data science platform, tells The New Stack, “It’s having a profound effect on maintainer workload.” In response, maintainers are canceling bug bounty programs and introducing stricter contributor guidelines, he adds.

Some projects, like Jazzband, have been forced to sunset altogether. Jannis Leidel, the lead maintainer and Python Software Foundation chairperson, writes that the “flood of AI-generated spam PRs and issues” made his project unsustainable.

According to Kate Holterhoff, Ph.D., a senior analyst at the consultancy Red Monk, the barrier to entry is now extremely low, making it easier to game the traditional incentive model for participating in open source. As she tells The New Stack, “It’s putting the contract between maintainers and contributors in peril in ways that haven’t existed before.”

For example, Rémi Verschelde, who oversees the open source Godot game engine, shares on BlueSky that dealing with AI slop is “draining and demoralizing.” Other project maintainers report growing apathy and wasted time responding to the deluge.

To be fair, nearly all software developers now use AI, and many communities rely on it to produce legitimate fixes and contributions. But the volume of low-quality submissions is becoming unsustainable, especially given that 60% of maintainers are unpaid volunteers."

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just inked a $12.2 million contract for an artificial intelligence tool that claims to map out immigrants’ daily routines, habits, and real-time location and categorize them as potential threats, per procurement records reviewed by the Lever.

Dubbed “Project SAFE HAVEN,” the product is advertised by defense vendor Edge Ops LLC as a “question-based AI interface” that uses “persistent passive data collection” to map “patterns of life,” a surveillance tactic that ICE says will identify the “habitual locations, routes, and behavioral patterns” of its targets.

Additional features of the technology described in procurement documents include real-time location tracking and analysis that will categorize individuals and groups as affiliated with ostensible criminal organizations, such as gangs or cartels. That includes building “target profiles” that track individuals’ activity by linking data obtained from Wi-Fi network connections and mobile smart devices, such as cell phones and smartwatches.

A promotional blurb for the tool on Edge Ops LLC’s website claims that Project SAFE HAVEN “transforms the way we identify, locate, and map illegal migrants.”"

From Sabine's email for the day:

Researchers from OpenAI have put forward an industrial policy for artificial intelligence and it’s quite a read. They propose a legally recognised “Right to AI,” meaning broad public access to powerful systems, backed by government-funded compute resources so that researchers, startups, and public institutions can run models themselves, rather than rely on a few companies.

To make this reality, they want to see an expansion of electricity supply for data centres by fast-tracking nuclear and renewables. They also suggest a national wealth fund that captures a share of AI-driven profits and redistributes it to citizens, alongside taxes or levies on highly automated systems, effectively a “robot tax”.

Of course none of that has any chance of happening, but OpenAI can now claim they care about the common man.
