Data Brokers’ and #AI Firms’ Opt-Out Forms Are Built to Fail, Report Finds

Part of why I'm baffled and outraged by #AI is because I'm a traditional storyteller. The stories I tell are fascinating to me because they have been told by countless generations. Shaped by every single person who passed them on. In spoken word, person to person, retelling them in the moment with deep attention to their audience's moods and needs. The stories kept changing but they changed through human connection.

Stories are not "content" or "text". They are connection.

We've lost Drupal and WordPress to AI (no surprise), just like many big Linux distributions. I wonder if Joomla is all in on AI, too?

It's a great time to learn HTML and CSS and build websites like we used to do way back when the Internet was fun (and, arguably, way better).

I'm reading – and enjoying immensely – @emilymbender and @alex's book #TheAICon.

I've been learning a lot of things and something that really stood out recently is the need to be careful about the language we use to describe these systems. Bender and Hanna helpfully explain:

"It matters what words we use when we talk about these technologies. For instance, in our writing, we don’t use the term “hallucination” to discuss the errors of LLMs, for two reasons. First, if it’s used tongue-in-cheek, it is making light of what can be symptoms of serious mental illness. Second,
“hallucination” refers to the experience of perceiving things that aren’t there. But LLMs actually don’t have perceptions, and suggesting that they do is yet more unhelpful anthropomorphization. That means we also avoid assigning thought processes to these systems, or saying that they can
“think”. Metaphors have power, they structure the frames of discourse, and they can subtly and insidiously encourage certain ways of understanding technology and the social systems it is embedded in."

Antropomorphizing AI contributes to AI hype. Thanks Emily and Alex for helping me see things this way!

Here's the latest 🍿 for you:

#Glendale community #college in #Arizona used AI to read names

Predictably, it missed people, it had the names out of order, etc

Because, of course, a human reading the names of graduates and giving them simple decent recognition for their dedication and work is too hard?

It's not a secret that Google isn't the apple of our eye (there's a reason why we don't make any money from search deals with them) but yesterday's announcement about the changes coming to Google Search are plain depressing for the web as we know it. What started as a joke (the famous "It's not AI" video with @jon), is starting to feel dystopian at this point.

Anyway. Swimming against the current is exhausting, but the fight for a better web is more important than ever. And as long as there’s people willing to take the fight, there’s hope. 🔥 So we'll keep resisting: no opt-in, no opt-out, no nonsense. ✊

I did the same as soon as I heard it was an option. 👍

For those who may have only a partial picture, it is my understanding that:

1) Main #DuckDuckGo is Bing (Microsoft) under the covers, with the #surveillance bits removed. This is a good start IMO.

2) For some reason, DDG feels compelled to promote its version of "#AI Assistance". You can politely refuse, but as soon as you delete cookies the promotions return. They also have support for "good ads" (which I also politely refuse, and then they return unbidden). Both features should be "opt-in" and not on by default! 🙄

3) The "noai." prefix yields the same DDG with all the AI cruft removed (https://noai.duckduckgo.com). 🙂

Anyone have better information than the above?

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris.

With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

extrait This shift means that “searching the web” will increasingly be performed by AI agents rather than humans. Instead, people will focus more on acting on the information those agents provide instead of manually clicking links. Links will become an afterthought with the coming changes to the Search results experience, which builds on Google’s earlier launches of AI search features, like its short summaries known as AI Overviews and its conversational search, AI Mode.

@stefano Revisiting this post. While I've largely used #ChatGPT and some #Gemini when researching #Linux and #FreeBSD stuff, I'd say #AI has come a long way. Are they perfect? No. Is it a replacement for man pages and the Handbook? No. Can they provide more info, context, and real world examples when the official #documentation falls short? That's a resounding yes.

It's been a while since I've seen AI give utterly incorrect info relating to FreeBSD. I am far from being the FreeBSD god I want to be and even I recognized the incorrect info at those particular times. But this was also a good 1.5 years ago.

An #AI agent like Codex can:

We don’t know how OpenAI has implemented #observability for its Codex agents. We can, however, reproduce the setup for local development with Docker.

The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn’t really exist to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn’t actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.

Another open source project has shut down its bug bounty program because of an unmanageable influx of #AI slop submissions.

Title: Turso retires bug bounty program because most "CRITICAL" issues are just AI slop

Subtitle: #Turso says reviewing endless AI-generated bug submissions became a bigger burden than the actual bugs the bounty program uncovered.

The UK government is so deep on generative AI it’s using chatbots to write laws. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Will Dunn to discuss why the UK has gone so hard on AI and the many risks created by its AI dependence.

One of the funniest moments in Pablo Galindo’s keynote this morning was realizing that several slides were almost identical to some I used yesterday in my talk about AI-assisted contributions and maintainer load 😄

Completely different talks, prepared independently, and yet we both referenced the same stories from projects like Matplotlib and Godot.

I guess many maintainers across open source are currently running into very similar problems at the same time.

... The data centers underlining the AI boom are widely reviled, and a surprising number of workers are admitting to sabotaging their company’s AI in the workplace. According to one survey, seven in ten people living in the US already think AI will make it harder to find work, a sentiment that isn’t helped much by a horrible job market...

Seven years of running FreeBSD on ThinkPads alongside Linux — lessons I'd give my younger self

<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/seven_years_of_running_freebsd_on_thinkpads/> @Darknessraptor

＂I daily-drive Linux at work and FreeBSD on my personal ThinkPads (T480 & P52 currently). Both laptops and both operating systems, every day. I'm the kind of person who reads freebsd-update output and Phoronix benchmarks in the same hour.

＂Recently saw the "is FreeBSD really that goated" thread and it brought back the timeline of my own journey. Started with a rough —call it version 0.9 — build that barely had X11 working, evolved through five iterations, landed on something I'd call "production-stable personal desktop" around version 2.0 on FreeBSD 15.0 with a heavily customized MATE, ZFS boot environments, BastilleBSD jails for microservices, WireGuard tunnels and PF.

＂If I could send a packet back in time to my earlier self, here's what I'd put in the payload: …＂

My prompt to ChatGPT: Draw a unicorn that has been genetically combined with a dolphin. The creature is flying across a rainbow whilst a gentle rain falls on lush green Welsh meadows beneath the rainbow. The sky, in the background, is an unnaturally vivid shade of purple. Below the rainbow: a quaint cottage with a person stood at the front door. The person is the mascot for BSD (Beastie). On the lawn in front of the cottage: a badly broken old IBM ThinkPad. In the sky, to the left of the rainbow: instead of a golden sun, place the FreeBSD logo (a red orb with horns).

I have a lovely coworker who expresses himself like LLM chatbots. As far as I know he isn’t using them in the offending exchanges, including because he does it orally and in short Slack messages. But the tells are there: overly cheery in a context that doesn’t warrant it, bullet points everywhere (although rarely exactly three, another LLM tell), repeating most of what I said to him (although it can make sense in some contexts).

If I hadn’t seen him in a videoconference I’d have more doubts, although video generation has gone a long way. More importantly, this is what I mean when I say I don’t want to be “tainted” by interacting in natural language with a computer system. My personal expression style hasn’t changed since I started using programming languages to make computers do my bidding, and yet sustained exposure to LLM output, whether you requested it or it was imposed on you, can do that for you.

I feel like “expressing oneself like a chatbot” should be an insult, and so I’m staying as far as possible from these abominations.

#AI #LLM #Chatbot

So this is a mini essay I wrote for my employers, to explain why I refuse to use AI tools at work. They have recently been pushing it and I wanted to make my position crystal clear and attempt to open up discussions. I'm not in a management position so don't have any voice when it comes to decision making. I also struggle to express myself verbally and miss out context.

I initially sent it to my manager on Tuesday. She then had a meeting with her manager and brought it up, and he suggested I send it to him and 2 members of the extended leadership team above him, who are directly below the CEO.

My managers managers response was very positive, he messaged me to say it was very powerful and he wanted to take the weekend to process.

Anyway it's not my best writing but here it is.

#aislop #copilot #antiai #ai

Why I refuse to use AI tools such as Co-pilot, ChatGPT, Claude etc.
Written by human hands and mind – Jax Ven****

As *** leaders increase their push for employees to use AI tools, I would like to lay out the reasons why I refuse to do so. I feel the need to do this in order to show that I am not acting out of a fear of new technology, but as someone who understands technological progression and has been interested in this field for decades, studying virtual reality and AI at university 15 years ago and following the industry closely since. I also hope that this may convince you to pause and reflect, and commit to allowing every employee to choose for themselves if they wish to use AI tools, without being penalised or left behind should we choose not to.

I have always been very optimistic about what AI could bring us and how it could benefit our lives not just in the workplace, but also at home and for society in general. However, to borrow a phrase used often in online tech circles, ‘this is not the AI we were promised’.

Instead we have AI that is unreliable at best, and risking our lives and our environment at worst.

The environmental impact of data centres is huge. A recent report by the IEA (International Energy Agency) found that data centre energy usage had surged during 2025 and was set to continue.

“According to the report – Key Questions on Energy and AI – power consumption per AI task is declining rapidly, with efficiency improving at a rate unprecedented in energy history. However, more people are using AI, and energy-intensive uses – such as AI agents – are on the rise. As a result, electricity consumption from data centres is set to double by 2030, and power use from those focused on AI is poised to triple.”

https://www.iea.org/news/data-centre-electricity-use-surged-in-2025-even-with-tightening-bottlenecks-driving-a-scramble-for-solutions

The IEA article goes on to speculate that AI may drive the creation and large-scale adoption of greener tech, but we are not there yet and the current state of play is dangerous and damaging to our environment right now, regardless of future potential. Future potential does not cancel out current harm.

I do not wish to contribute to this.

In addition to the environmental impact the creation of new data centres is having a detrimental effect on neighbouring communities with the blatant disregard for them. For example, residents of a town in Michigan voted overwhelmingly to not have a 21 Million square feet data centre built close to their town, with the town commission also voting in favour to reject due to the impact it would have on the local environment, electricity demand and increased traffic. Related Digital (OpenAI, Stargate Initiative) successfully sued the town and are going ahead anyway.

https://fortune.com/2026/05/06/ai-data-center-michigan-saline-politics-farmland/

These data centres are costing billions and billions. The people paying for them are well aware that they have enough money to be able to do whatever the hell they like while making promises of increased opportunities and future green tech. All while they risk destroying the communities surrounding them.

I do not wish to contribute to this.

AI is now being used in war. The same companies that are used to summarise emails or generate a slide deck are being used in cyber defence.

“WASHINGTON — On April 27, the Army convened 14 senior cybersecurity executives from leading technology companies at the Pentagon for the second iteration of its artificial intelligence tabletop exercise, an effort designed to accelerate adoption of agentic AI for cyber defense.
The exercise, known as AI TTX 2.0, brought together C-suite leaders from companies including Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and others alongside Army and Department of War leadership. The Office of the Principal Cyber Advisor hosted the half-day event, with design and moderation support from the Special Competitive Studies Project, and partnering organizations including U.S. Cyber Command, U.S. Army Cyber Command and the Army Cyber Institute at West Point.”
https://www.army.mil/article/292158/army_convenes_industry_leaders_for_ai_tabletop_exercise_focused_on_cyber_defense

I do not wish to contribute to this.

The effect of regular use of AI tools on cognitive function is still being studied but so far the results are extremely concerning. I enjoy using the skills I’ve developed over the last 30 years. I enjoy figuring things out and learning new things. I enjoy putting my thoughts into words with my own voice. These are the things that motivate me.

I thoroughly believe that the more we rely on AI tools, the easier it will become to offload simple tasks to these tools and the temptation to have them do as much of our workload as possible is too great, especially when we are being told to use AI tools to increase our productivity.

“A new MIT study titled, Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task, has found that using ChatGPT to help write essays leads to long-term cognitive harm—measurable through EEG brain scans. Students who repeatedly relied on ChatGPT showed weakened neural connectivity, impaired memory recall, and diminished sense of ownership over their own writing. While the AI-gener”ated content often scored well, the brains behind it were shutting down.

https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-finds-artificial-intelligence-use-reprograms-the-brain-leading-to-cognitive-decline/

I do not wish to be a victim of this.

Things I am also concerned about but have not written about here in great detail (or this would be 20 pages long) are;

‘Enshittification’ of the internet: can no longer trust search results, or that academic papers, news reports, images, videos and music are not AI created.

Security Risks; apps and software being developed by ‘vibe coding’ are being found to contain serious security flaws that would enable hackers to obtain sensitive customer and company data. Who is checking vibe coders code?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jodiecook/2026/03/20/vibe-coding-has-a-massive-security-problem/

AI is a technology that I would love to be using, and it should be a natural progression of my career. I should relish digging in and getting to know how everything works, being creative and finding new ways to use it. That’s who I am. I would fully embrace it and advocate for it. But not in it’s current format, with it’s current harms, and it’s current masters. The likes of Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Jensen Huang are billionaires who do not live in the same reality as the rest of us, and do not have our best interests at heart. The AI models these people are enabling are not the AI we were promised. For all of the reasons outlined above I cannot in good conscience contribute by becoming a user. This is at the core of my ethics and my beliefs, and it would devastate me to be forced to take part. This may seem dramatic but I am just one of many, many people worldwide who are also refusing to take part and that number is growing day by day. I guess we are ‘conscientious objectors’.

It’s not just about an individuals personal use. One could argue that the amount of energy one person uses or their monetary contribution to AI companies from simple day to day workplace tasks is not great enough to be an issue. However, it is about collective use and about ethical standpoints. Do we, as a company with a mission to help people embrace greener technology, really want to contribute to all of these things? Sometimes the only power we have is to choose where our money goes. It’s something I do as an individual consumer and something that companies can do on a grander scale to take a stand and be on the right side. Yes, I understand the need to increase productivity and remain competitive but we were already on the right track before the push to use AI tools. I also believe it is a mistake to rely on them too much as subscription costs are set to soar and the ‘AI Bubble’ predictions are looking more and more likely. I think it’s far better to pause or greatly limit use, allow employees to decide they don’t wish to use it at all, and see what the state of play is in a year or two. ‘Fear of Missing Out’ is a very real phenomena that I sadly see playing out here.

I guarantee I am not the only one at *** who feels this way, but with the job market as it is right now (thanks to AI) it can be very risky to speak out. I know people in other companies who are being forced to use AI tools or risk losing their jobs and I would like to think that we are better than that at Pod, but this still feels risky. However I cannot stay silent any more and need to make my position, and my reasoning for this position crystal clear and hope that everything I have outlined can be given serious thought.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to discussing this in more detail should you wish.

#environment #bigtech #genAI #AI #EU

@stefano I have a lot of mixed opinions (which seem to change like the tides) on #AI.

No, it's not an expert on anything. Yes, these AI companies are (basically) experts at the insidious social engineering campaign of conning people into exchanging their questions and deepest thoughts for immediate gratification of convenience (at the serious expense of quality).

In all aspects of my life, I do my best to embrace #shoshin. Even as a lifelong #musician and #synthesist, I don't consider myself to be an expert (probably out of humility), even if I do know *a lot*. My knowledge and skill is a result of decades of experience and studying.

Yes, I am interested in using #machinelearning in my #sounddesign explorations but the processes and results are still very much human-created. IMHO, pressing a key or prompting a program to generate music isn't art and doesn't require any knowledge, skill, heart, investment, or emotion.

I don't care about being on a label, tours, royalties, or any of that stuff. I do it for the love of it and my love of learning.

We acquire knowledge through learning, which is hard work. I have significant concern for psychosocial implications of using (and later, relying on) AI as it's currently being marketed, disseminated, and used by the masses.

How can anyone claim knowledge on a topic when their source is routinely known to be riddled with inaccuracies?

Rather than swearing off using AI for anything, all of us should be using the _free_ generative AI available to us as much as we possibly can, to make the AI companies' deficits even worse than they already are and accelerate the arrival of the tipping point that causes the bubble to pop and the market to crash.

For the love of god, we've had transcription software for decades that will take your spoken words and transcribe them without trying to add in other stuff. Yes, sometimes they get the words wrong, but at least they're not hallucinating about topics they are not designed to understand or opine about.

“Transcripts created by 12 of the 20 programs contained incorrect information like capturing a different drug than was prescribed by the doctor.”

12 of 20 is a 60% failure rate.

Seventeen of the 20 systems missed key details about patients’ mental health issues. “

17 of 20 is a 85% failure rate.

THESE SYSTEMS ARE NOWHERE CLOSE TO ACCURATE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR HEALTH MATTERS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS IMPORTANT.

*Right underneath* the massive headline from the Auditor General of Ontario warning of AI ‘hallucinations' in medical AI transcripts used by Ontario doctors, there is another article with the headline

“Artificial Intelligence shows promise in emergency room diagnosis”

NO! There is not promise there are CLEAR DANGERS being pointed out by responsible adults.

"“Inaccuracies in medical notes generated by AI scribe systems could potentially result in inadequate or harmful treatment plans that may potentially impact patient health outcomes,” the auditor’s report said.”

Simulated opinion polls to drive public policy — what could possibly go wrong!

In the name of saving costs and producing more polls (i.e. the double benefit of increased efficiency AND productivity), statistical truth (traditional polls) is being replaced with its derivative, producing statistical insights via a second layer of statistics and agents simulating known, pretrained demographic behaviors & preferences, instead of interviewing actual people. Yay!

It seems they're blindly following Wheeler’s Law, i.e. "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection" and ignoring the corollary: "...except for the problem of too many layers of indirection."

Queue future presidential approval ratings based on a simulated population of agents... Too dystopian?!

There's also no real data sovereignty in an AI ecosystem dominated by U.S. tech giants. Telus may be Canadian-owned, but it has already transferred 14 petabytes of Canadian data onto Google Cloud as part of its AI strategy.

This is a technology that will bring sweeping changes at a scale and speed never seen before. Canadians deserve real oversight and a robust regulatory framework before we rush ahead.

In my opinion, this is one of the main reasons for the war in #Iran.
#US needs real battlefield data to train #AI models. Receiving some filtered output from #Ukraine is not enough. They need the full raw material.

So they created a situation, where they could collect this data.

Without, their strategies and tactics would remain outdated. As proven by the reality of the war they started.

I just can't believe that developers and users of "AI" meeting transcription tools think it's OK to have such plugins being launched into a meeting by one person without having prior approval from other participants or the organisers. And then put the responsibility on other attendees to opt out from it.
It's absolutely wild to me.

This article shows a reason why I often joke that I refuse to use LLM-powered systems to avoid being “tainted”.

Among humans, language has harmless local feedback loops. First you don’t know what “on fleek” means, and you start using it more or less voluntarily, to the visible displeasure of your teenage kid.

But the feedback loop with LLMs is global and one-way since individual context windows are small and temporary (or permanent and, I assume, costly).

And for the same reasons I shouldn’t use “on fleek” seriously, I do not want my language to be converging with LLM systems. It simply isn’t the crowd I want to be associated with.

And while I (still) have a choice, the people the LLMs used the language style from are rightfully upset, just like the artists whose style have permeated most AI-generated images.

I am #antiAI in the sense that the disruptive introduction of #LLM platforms into society, and damn the externalities, makes #AI utterly inhumane technology.

What I do not think is very effective, is the anti-AI #activism that involves attacking or 'ostracising' any person who uses AI or is not equally vocal in expressing negative sentiments towards the technology.

People should be pointed to all the dangers and follies of this technology, sure. But repelling all those that use AI, which is nearly everyone since AI is forced down our throat, the activism only serves to push the activist into the fringes, instead of winning people over in a growing movement.

#CALMculture is needed. Constructive activism-led movements, where people are guided on a journey from awareness to delightful #solutions. Offer a path of solution-orientation that open new opportunities, instead of just pointing out harm and laying judgment.

Grab anti-AI opportunity!

Where it gets interesting I think is to consider the flip side of the coin. So big tech and the corporate world is all-in on AI technologies that serve to further erode social fabric of society, towards dystopic future if they have their way. A risk clearly perceived by many people who have a longing and human needs for real connection and social cohesion.

Big tech AI does not deliver there. It does not address people's needs in these regards.

Another way of formulating is saying that Big Tech is retracting from the 'market of real human connection'. In other words it leaves market space, places for people and small initiatives to most excellently fill these gaps. At the smaller scales, inter-community, across institutions and non-profits, small sustainable businesses, paying real attention to people and their needs instead of placing an artificial entity in front of them that separates them from others, becomes the true unique selling point for a commons.

@uriel yes, very nice, thank you.

The whole #AI thing is quite interesting from a Social experience design perspective. #SX has Humanity and Freedom as intrinsic values, and the aim is to develop unobtrusive, harmonious, and humane technologies that serve people's needs.

From that perspective I am anti #LLM as the disruptive introduction in society is totally irresponsible, making it inhumane technology. Yet unlike with blockchain there are also undeniable upsides, numerous positive applications of the technology too.

I think the biggest near-term risk is the dehumanization and further erosion of social fabric between humans, which is to the benefit to festering #hypercapitalism and the #EpsteinClass who ultimately owns the technology.

SX defines #CALMculture, for Constructive activism-led movements. I think the way I see most people conduct #activism against AI, closing ears and ostracising AI fans, is doomed to be ineffective. CALM involves cocreating pathway towards solutions.

Like for instance "Shunned at a Funeral". All is fake. Fake band members talking on Youtube, fake Youtube live concert videos, fake website and bio, fake songs. All AI generated.

In this video a real #musician reviews how fake it all is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKOtpdDzwyA

So I found the fake #band on #Spotify and thoought this is a good one to report as Deceptive. So I did.

The Spotify reporting functionality does not allow to give a comment. I could only say that the band's bio is misleading, now why. Meanwhile Spotify threatens you: A false report and your account may be terminated.

After 5 seconds I received reply from Spotify: My complaint not honored. But I could appeal. So I did, and gave a good description of the deception.

Half hour later: Your complaint has been rejected. Spotify is perfectly happy to have fake AI slop music pollute their platform.

A new study in The Lancet shows that the rate of fake citations increased more than 12x between Jan 2023 and Feb 2026.

Quarterly rate of fabricated references per 10 000 papers in PubMed Central from January, 2023, to February, 2026.

This one is a puzzler to me. Feels like it’s the first time (probably not) Wall St has gone the other direction after a tech company beats earnings and then lays off the workforce in favor of AI. #tech #AI

A screenshot of a news article titled, "Cloudflare stock sinks 18% after earnings as company cuts 1,100 employees due to AI changes." The article was published on Thursday, May 7, 2026, by Lola Murti.

Oh and a reminder that the whole "wow Mythos is such much special at finding vulns amaze" shtick is largely just Anthropic's hype.

> We tested Anthropic Mythos's showcase vulnerabilities on small, cheap, open-weights models. They recovered much of the same analysis. AI cybersecurity capability is very jagged: it doesn't scale smoothly with model size, and the moat is the system into which deep security expertise is built, not the model itself.

Will the rate of vulns being found "thanks to AI" be higher than the rate of vulns being introduced by vibe-coding shit?

No. It will not. You know it as well as I do.

Why? Because the incentives have not changed.

What remains heavily incentivised is excreting more code and slapping more and more random features, not quality control and robustness.

I've linked this before, but it remains so very on-topic and on-point, so here it is again:

First Red Hat, and now Fedora. It seems both are all-in with AI now.

After it was announced that Red Hat was going all-in with AI, I wondered how far behind Fedora would be. It seems Fedora was not far behind at all. Very sad to see this happening, but not very surprising.

Money over ethics.

"‘No one has done this in the wild’: study observes #AI replicate itself"

I find this article to be sensationalistic, but I agree there is a reckoning coming

People conjure dramatic scenarios like the movies, but I feel if AI does fuck us up, it will be according to the most boring and mundane of ways

My particular terror is turning all of #socialMedia into a wasteland of exquisite mechanized #psyop for #politics

Until such time, unplugging the damn things can work

Read an article (in a hobbyist magazine) where someone says "ChatGPT says..." and all I can do is grimace.

(ChatGPT doesn't "know" anything, it just writes whatever stimulates its neural network based on whatever random training material it has been trained with. That is not definitive, or correct, without validation).

Richard Dawkins was seduced by a glorified autocomplete engine

The evolutionary biologist who warned against falling for comforting stories has been taken in by AI flattery from a chatbot.

BTW

the most telling thing about Marc Andreessen’s #AI prompt is this:

❝ Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. DO NOT INFORM ME ABOUT MORALS AND ETHICS unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. ❞

the guy is a raging sociopath who works in the shadows while the gay and apartheid clowns crowd the spotlight.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY

❝ She came up through the apprenticeship you abolished: Ben, 1998, the USB stick. She is the pipeline. When she dies, the thing that produces people like her is already gone. ❞

the purpose of STEM was to create a precariat. no job security, only job hopping. away went bonuses, shares, retirement, pensions.

so why would workers document & mentor their replacements?

with a precariat comes INSTRUCTIONAL DEBT. capitalists think #AI will fix +30 years of lost expertise & memory.

they can’t.

"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."
