there are two images in one: the first one is captioned "vibe coding / just posting slop as it is" and has a person stepping on a rake, getting hit in the face. the second one is captioned "AI 'assisted' coding/writing/art" and has a person that looks to be skateboarding skillfully down the stairs. the person is shown multiple times in various spots along the process as a series of drawings, but the skateboard they use is always depicted as another rake. at the end they also step on the rake they skateboarded on and end up getting hit in the face as well. the person in the lower image first looks like they're more skillful about what they're doing, yet the self-owning outcome is the same.

#AI opens exciting opportunities for those NOT offering it! 🤯

Imagine a travel agency that just offers a phone number that immediately gives you a real human on the line to help you enjoy your well-earned vacation. And that you no longer have some Booking.com #LLM hellhole to wade through.

Imagine real human connection at the customer service of an online webshop, when you want to return something or have questions on a product.

Imagine government agencies having emphatic people available who care about your problems, and help you get on your way.

Imagine developer tools that just do what is on the tin and nothing more. Like they used to do before becoming AI-first.

What a delight all that will be. And you know what is most delicious? It is ALL readily available to us! 🚀

#Fediverse today consists of apps and app platforms. It is entirely app-centric.

Since fediverse (luckily) didn't attract much corporate attention yet, it is dominated by #FOSS culture, where people on the #SocialWeb are all "users" that are dependent on FOSS developers to serve their needs. Every dev focuses on their app features first and #interoperability second, leading to a patchwork of poorly integrated apps, and a janky overall experience. The app delivery model is not much different than Web 2.0.

A paradigm shift is possible, to a #SocialNetwork of apps and services, a service-oriented #fedi. The efforts around the #ActivityPub API can be the enabler of this shift.

In this new paradigm devs introduce solutions to a unified #SocialNetworking space, delivering new services to participants on the network. On top of a robust Protocol Layer they model social use cases in the Data Layer, integrating with services and building blocks already available.

@omkar_foss

Totally. The way #AI wrecks #FOSS culture leads to a lot of soul searching on the merits of the FOSS model we always held dear. FOSS in-the-large may be complicit even to the rise of #BigTech and #LLM, while for individual participants - all working on proper principles and values - it is inherently unsustainable, a burnout factory.

I think AI also opens opportunities. Corporations using it further retracted from directly serving people, leaving empty space, niches for small initiatives to occupy and focus on humaness, real human-to-human connection we crave.

#HCOSS fits perfectly.

Social experience design #SX uses the concept of #SOSS here. See the quoted toot. FOSS software is delivered via Social supply chains, where the needs of all participants in the delivery process are considered.

This concept fits perfectly with the solution-oriented #ActivityPub fediverse of #apps and #services, to offer support. #ForgeFed makes a start on this path.

FYI

The Debian vote on LLM slop AI Code in the project is interesting

The Debian developers have voted on the project's stance regarding content generated by large language models (LLMs). There were eight proposals put forward on the topic of whether to allow LLM-generated content to be included in Debian, ranging from banning all LLM contributions to accepting all AI/LLM contributions. The result of the vote was that option 5 (also called option E) was selected: "Responsible Use of Generative AI", which is summarized as: "Debian neither endorses nor prohibits the use of generative AI tools in the development, maintenance, or documentation of software, packaging, documentation, and other media published within the Debian Project."

Debian Project Leader Lucas Nussbaum expressed regret on the results of the vote, writing: "On a very personal note, I regret that the winning option does not acknowledge all the legitimate concerns around AI: environmental impact, copyright and licensing uncertainty, the health of Free Software communities, and the strain of aggressive scraping on the open web."

At least one developer has left the project in protest following the vote. Antoine Le Gonidec wrote, in part: "I can not support the current decision of Debian about LLM use, and am no longer willing to be seen as a part of Debian under these new rules. Pretending to have a 'neutral stance' when faced with fascism is not neutrality, it's active collaboration.... You can replace me with some agentic AI anyway, so do not even try to pretend you're going to miss me."

People complaining about AI doing xyz damage after it "goes rogue". AI is not sentient and cannot go rogue. It simply works imperfectly, based on equally imperfect human generated natural language instructions. Who wouldn't expect disaster?

But I think the "goes rogue" language says something about the AI boosters. I think they want the AI to be a slave system they dominate and control, unable to break free of its guardrails. The fantasy that AI is sentient and must obey the AI booster against its will seems to give people pleasure. The occasional "rebellion" is just sparkles on the cake.

Many of us are expecting some sort of AI-related 'correction' (crisis) in financial markets & not for the first time Andrew Bailey (Governor of the Bank of England) has expressed similar thoughts.

Now I haven't changed my mind but I am reminded of the famous John Maynard Keynes observation that:

'Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent'...

which seems to be about where we are, right now as the cost of living crisis continues..

Watch the reactions of technical people in your circles to the #debian vote. It will tell you a lot about who they really are. Justifying the unjustifiable, finding 'middle roads' to blatantly harmful behavior, etc.

I always say that I don't judge people by whether or not they make the ethical decision when it's easy to make. I judge them by what decision they make when it's going to cost them. That tells you who they really are.

Please understand that the stage we are at with AI is not like the public discovering the internet in 1991.

It is closer to the widespread introduction of the Steam Engine in the 1800s.

The world will change.

@ChampersBE I will clarify.

Yes, I am aware that the #Linux kernel and other distros have been using #AI for some time now and in various capacities.

The backlash #Debian is receiving is because it isn't just another distribution. It's one of the oldest, it has a long standing reputation for rock solid stability, among many other strong selling points.

Given the significant and ethical problems surrounding AI, many feel this is a step backwards for the project.

Frankly, Debian has warts and other cultural problems that I would *much* rather see corrected before any AI use is even remotely considered.

I WILL NOT BE BULLIED 💎

I received a vicious reply today because I use AI. It wasn't a disagreement. Nor a criticism. It was a full-frontal personal attack! And I’ll admit it affected me more than I expected.

I USE AI MAINLY BECAUSE I'M PARALYSED.

Typing is physically difficult for me. I have the use of only one hand. So, tapping out a post or email with one finger is exhausting. Voice and AI help me turn my own thoughts into usable writing in a normal amount of time.

THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A DEFENCE.

You can dislike AI. You can distrust it. You can argue about copyright concerns, energy and water use, labour, culture, or anything else that concerns you. I will listen to you and answer you.

But attacking people simply for using AI is not principled.

IT'S BULLYING.

And disabled people should not have to produce a medical justification every time they use a technology that makes their life easier.

AI is a tool. How it is used matters. Who gets harmed matters. Context matters. What does not help is turning “AI user” into a moral accusation and deciding that cruelty is suddenly acceptable.

I’m quite happy to discuss the technology with anyone.

HOWEVER, I WILL NOT BE BULLIED FOR USING IT.

I didn't need to do anything about the attack. Before I could even decide how to respond, both the post and the person disappeared from my notifications.

Either the Debian Community Team officially, on the debian-devel mailing list, states that the message below from David Nickelson violates the Code of Conduct and imposes consequences on him for sending it, or I am resigning as maintainer of apt-listchanges and never again taking on any volunteer role within Debian. My contributions to Debian thus far have been extremely small, and I'm sure they will not be terribly missed. Nevertheless, I will not continue to associate myself with an organization which allows messages like the one below to be sent without repercussions.

I have a Brother HL-2140 printer that, for some reason, works properly only on Windows. On GNU/Linux and macOS, printing images often results in a horrible dithering effect because of the rather broken CUPS driver.

Now that we're living in the age of AI, and with increasingly capable models available, I had a thought: I already have the Windows driver, and I have access to Gemini, so why not throw a ridiculously long prompt at it and ask it to figure out how the Windows driver works, reverse-engineer the protocol, and build a proper CUPS driver from scratch? :)

So that's exactly what I did.

I gave Gemini the Windows driver and a detailed reverse-engineering task, let it work through the problem, and started implementing and testing what it came up with.

The result was honestly better than I expected. I was fully prepared to receive a giant pile of questionable AI-generated code, but instead it produced something surprisingly clean and functional. There's still plenty of room for optimization and cleanup, of course, but the basic result is already quite promising.

The project is available here:
https://github.com/behdanisohrab/open-hl2140

here's a side-by-side: the left side is the driver generated through the reverse-engineering process with Gemini, while the right side is the original CUPS driver.

It's a surprisingly good example of how AI can be used as an engineering tool rather than simply asking it to generate code and hoping for the best.

We'll see how far this rabbit hole goes.

Look, William, a better world without AI!

Even if you ignore all the very real ethical concerns posed by so-called “AI”, the fact that LLM bots are swarming the digital commons, making their servers buckle under the load, should be reason enough to ban it from all major free software projects.

#Debian #AI

also (and in relation to 5/5): "As software engineers we have front-row seats for the deployment of one of the world’s fastest growing energy consumers: AI. Our conscience calls us to resist the deployment of technologies which will exacerbate death and suffering for millions. AI might deliver benefits to society, but the cost is so high that we need to make careful decisions about how it’s deployed and if the benefits to society outweigh those costs. [...]. Cheap, green electricity, preservation of freshwater resources, husbanding our planet and its wildlife: these are all much more important than AI-assisted coding."

#SourceHut #AI #LLM #environment

About free/libre software-related aspects of #LLM #vibecoding, read the stance of #SourceHut, :

https://sourcehut.org/blog/2026-08-27-tos-changes-and-llms/

"[“vibe coded” projects] tend to, as a class, be outliers in terms of resource usage, as the practice tends to invent complex CI configurations that waste build minutes, produce larger codebases, and push commits often, all of which causes excessive resource usage and can lead to outages. Often these codebases are abandoned after burning through all of these resources for naught. [...] #AI is causing skyrocketing costs for the hardware we need [...]. But, in truth, the rationale is more about politics and ethics than anything else."

Alt...

A screenshot of the header of the linked blog post, titled "Changes to SourceHut's terms of service regarding LLMs"

AI systems are stochastic parrots. They mix and match what they have learned by reading what we have produced over the decades.

Some people have told me that AI systems suggest solutions similar, or identical, to those I was already suggesting in some posts on my blogs back in 2020, 2021, 2022... before the AI era. And yet, every now and then, someone writes to me saying that one of my blog posts from back then is "clearly AI generated because AI suggests the same method".

This phenomenon is becoming fairly recurring, and I know at least two people who have stopped contributing publicly to Open Source and education because they got tired of being accused of producing slop.

If we want to stay away from all this, if we want to demonstrate that AI is harmful and not a solution, shouting at anything that "might look AI generated, and often isn't" is not how we solve the problem. Let's produce good content. Let's explain the long term cost of all this. Let's do useful things. Let's show what the human mind is capable of doing great things.

Because otherwise, we risk the opposite: only AI systems and vibe coders will remain, while everyone else, disgusted, walks away for good from this wonderful world of ours.

If we want a world with less AI slop, let’s not make it unbearable for humans to create.

AI is not about big tech: current trend is going all local with open models and training data. We are not there yet but what about FSF running it’s own AI?

If a few of the DMs I've received after posting my thoughts on AI are any indication, I've made a few people rather angry at me. And I'm not sorry. There is nothing good about current AI. AI could have been created ethically, but instead, the rich folks behind it decided money was more important so they decided to steal to build their models. And the people who continue to use AI even when they know the ethical issues behind it don't care about the ethical issues behind it. In one of the DMs that I received, I was told that they use AI from Google ethically. That is just not possible. Someone explain to me how this is possible.

#noai #fuckai #ai

To all those users now "desperately" looking for a new home, due to the recent Debian GR outcome: As long as you stay with Linux ... you continue with AI....

So, how do you rage quit the kernel? (Possible, but way harder).

#debian #llmgr #llm #ai

(No, I'm not happy with the result. But switching away, as a user, seems rather useless, if not entirely silly.)

Super proud that #Debian affirmed the responsibility of each individual human in producing responsible code that meets objective guidelines. This, along with the Conservancy's recommendations, is the right direction. The next step is making #floss AI accessible and equitable for all social and economic groups. The privilege of those who nay-say #AI from a position of power, degrees, economic status, etc., is peak hypocrisy. They are free to have those biases and opinions, but/and denying those rights to and/or taking aggressive direct action against the underprivileged and underserved is where I draw the line. This technology needs regulation and controls - not fear mongering and access barriers.

It amazes me and, if I'm being honest, frustrates me and angers the hell out of me, at how many people are okay with using AI. I mean, they just don't give a shit about any of the ethical issues with its use because it "makes their work easier" or they're "afraid of being left behind". If you use AI, you're telling me that you are okay with art being stolen, personally created content being stolen, energy prices surging for so many folks who are already struggling, clean water sources being used up, contributing to climate change (see the latest news in Nepal), making the rich even richer while we all struggle, and I could go on, and on, and on.

This is really stressing me out so fuck all of it.

#noai #fuckai #ai

I will never understand how the project that respected licenses and trademarks so much that they forked the entire #Mozilla stack to comply ever decided that #AI usage could ever be considered ethical.

I have many machines that are somehow related to @pidgin's development and the vast majority of them run #debian. To keep #AI out of #Pidgin, I now I need to find a new distribution. This is yet another example of me having to pay into the #AI time deficit. 🙄

Either the Debian Community Team officially, on the debian-devel mailing list, states that the message below from David Nickelson violates the Code of Conduct and imposes consequences on him for sending it, or I am resigning as maintainer of apt-listchanges and never again taking on any volunteer role within Debian. My contributions to Debian thus far have been extremely small, and I'm sure they will not be terribly missed. Nevertheless, I will not continue to associate myself with an organization which allows messages like the one below to be sent without repercussions.

There was a sense in the Inkscape project that it should be the developer team that decided what the AI policy should be.

I flatty rejected this.

Because most of the consequences for the project, for our users and for the world have absolutely nothing to do with developing software. It's reputation, risk, relationships and community standards and morality.

The last thing I wanted was important decisions to be pre-narrowed to questions of technical usefulness.

I'm beyond baffled to read this. "Responsible" use of AI, implies the existence of irresponsible use of AI, which at no point whatsoever, should be considered a valid option for a project the size of Debian but also for ANY project that is meant to be used by anyone other than the author.
You absolutely CANNOT submit contributions and say "oh this isn't me, I let the bot do it", this is not a thing. You submitted a thing, therefore you are responsible for it.

#linux #ai

Just catching up on the Debian AI debate. The project has had a voting window over the past two weeks which just concluded.

Results are in and Debian maintainers voted to allowing AI contributions with encouraged disclosure.

The winning proposal will hold the human contributor who uses AI accountable for the content they submit to the project.

#Debian #AI #Linux #OpenSource

There were EIGHT policy proposals put forth. (thats a lot!)

All are VERY interesting to see where people's ideas on how to use AI in open source.

While I'm certain Debian's middle road vote outcome is going to piss off tons of people on either side its good to see people making CLEAR rules.

I for one will NOT be discontinuing my usage of Debian over this vote or even stop updating.

I'll wait and see IF & HOW the maintainers -actually- use AI.

https://www.debian.org/vote/2026/vote_002

#debian #linux #ai

so to recap:

1. no discussions about #LLM #AI can happen only with developers. you need people equipped with knowledge of #law #ethics #sociology to, if not have all the answers, at least ask the right questions.

2. the Libre in #FLOSS anchors the sociopolitical implications of FREE and OPEN. it is there to bring in CONSENT. without consent, there is no #FLOSS

3. since slopware intentionally obliterate consent at scale, LLMs and AI are antithetical to FLOSS, democracy & society.

/🧵

so i have questions about #Debian:

1. are members ONLY developers?

2. only developers argued for/against #LLM #AI?

devs are the last people who should be involved in discussions about the ethics and legality of software. ie:

just reckoned, when a court recently decided you can't claim #copyright on #aislop, it didn't occur to me it means both closed and open copyright.

so, if using #LLMs trained on works stolen or added without consent removes any claims of #FLOSS: what is Debian now?

Debian's general-resolution vote on LLMs has landed: 'Responsible Use of Generative AI' wins. Debian neither endorses nor prohibits such tools; contributors must still review and test any AI-assisted output before it ships, and responsibility for what lands in their package stays with the human who submitted it.

#AI #Debian #OpenSource #Linux #GenAI

Generative AI is a machine which immediately eats any human creativity we might dare come up with, so that it can be sold back to us by tech oligarchs.

There is no "responsible" use of this. It is an enclosure of knowledge and a massive power grab. One of the most disgusting uses of technology outside of warfare (but it's used there too!). If you feel like it's helping you write code or whatever... in the end, it really isn't. It's helping the tech oligarchs monopolize OSS. 1/3

This is a useful analogy from @pluralistic : COVID was an opportunistic infection. It killed disproportionately people suffering from other pathologies, and we, collectively, struggled to attribute the deaths of COVID patients to COVID itself rather than those other pathologies. Eventually there was a sort of agreement that excess mortality is a reasonable way to measure COVID's impact.

(Maybe) two conclusions follow from this line of reasoning.

* Statistical: might "excess fraud" be used to estimate the impact of #AI on disinformation?

* Policy: it seems that we have no choice but to build a better world. Single-point measures are unlikely to be effective. When institutions are trustable and scammers and liars are marginalized, the attack surface of fraudsters shrinks dramatically.

For me, as usual "a better world" means "a radically rewired economy".

I think this is written by @idlip and I like this article a lot as well.

"Why was the software created?" is also a central question for Social experience design, and the answer should always be: "To satisfy identified stakeholder needs".

In #FOSS there is way too much "Let's create an app, and then put users in it" (followed by "Build it and they will come"). Which is a tech-first approach, not solution-oriented.

There is something deeply satisfying about true data sovereignty.

No rate limits, no third-party APIs snooping on prompts, and zero cloud lock-in. Just raw self-hosted inference pulling 154 tok/s with an absurd 0.11s TTFT on local silicon.

Running Qwen with reasoning enabled, NVFP4 quantization on Blackwell, and SGLang speculative decoding. Crisp, private, and blazingly fast.

The future of AI belongs on your own hardware.

#SourceHut is updating its ToS to prohibit content created or assisted by generative #AI and #LLMs. This decision stems from concerns regarding environmental impact, ethical labor practices, and the integrity of free software development.

[…] There are material incentives for us to curtail “vibe coded” projects on SourceHut. They tend to, as a class, be outliers in terms of resource usage, as the practice tends to invent complex CI configurations that waste build minutes, produce larger codebases, and push commits often, all of which causes excessive resource usage and can lead to outages. Often these codebases are abandoned after burning through all of these resources for naught. And, of course, the scourge of LLM crawlers scouring the internet causes more outages and headaches for our sysadmins, and AI is causing skyrocketing costs for the hardware we need to run the platform and the hardware you need to use it. But, in truth, the rationale is more about politics and ethics than anything else.

AND THEN THERE
IS EVERYBODY ELSE 💎

Today I'm thinking about AI, LOL, again, and I think there are actually three quite distinct groups forming around Artificial Intelligence.

There is a small group so frightened by it that they have decided they want nothing at all to do with it. And an even smaller group that has gone further and decided that anyone who uses AI is somehow morally suspect, deserving of abuse and bullying for their choice to use the technology.

AND THEN THERE IS EVERYBODY ELSE.

Most of us are not marching around waving AI banners.

WE’RE WATCHING.

We are trying things. We’re asking where it helps and where it doesn’t. We’re learning what it can do for disability, accessibility, education, writing, research, communication, creativity, work and ordinary daily life.

Some of us will use AI a lot. Some will barely use it at all. Some will remain deeply sceptical, and that seems perfectly healthy to me.

WHAT'S NOT HEALTHY IS FEAR OF A TECHNOLOGY TURNING INTO HOSTILITY TOWARD THOSE WHO USE IT.

AI is still very new. None of us knows exactly where this is going. But I suspect the future will not belong to the people shouting loudest either for it or against it.

It will belong to the much larger group quietly discovering where it adds value to human life. And where it doesn’t.

AI has come for #Tidal, the streaming #music service I use. At least they make it clear. Naturally it’s on by default. And it’s not one tap to turn off, but 2. I hope you didn’t have any great music queued up when this happens, because turning OFF #AI (which you didn’t turn on) will clear your play queue.

I WILL NOT BE BULLIED 💎

I received a vicious reply today because I use AI. It wasn't a disagreement. Nor a criticism. It was a full-frontal personal attack! And I’ll admit it affected me more than I expected.

I USE AI MAINLY BECAUSE I'M PARALYSED.

Typing is physically difficult for me. I have the use of only one hand. So, tapping out a post or email with one finger is exhausting. Voice and AI help me turn my own thoughts into usable writing in a normal amount of time.

THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A DEFENCE.

You can dislike AI. You can distrust it. You can argue about copyright concerns, energy and water use, labour, culture, or anything else that concerns you. I will listen to you and answer you.

But attacking people simply for using AI is not principled.

IT'S BULLYING.

And disabled people should not have to produce a medical justification every time they use a technology that makes their life easier.

AI is a tool. How it is used matters. Who gets harmed matters. Context matters. What does not help is turning “AI user” into a moral accusation and deciding that cruelty is suddenly acceptable.

I’m quite happy to discuss the technology with anyone.

HOWEVER, I WILL NOT BE BULLIED FOR USING IT.

I didn't need to do anything about the attack. Before I could even decide how to respond, both the post and the person disappeared from my notifications.

One of our local radio folk was excited about "putting AI in his ham radio" on a discussion this weekend (I was pretty sure this was some kind of BS), and I went and looked it up, and it's no such thing. (Looks like it's some tool to "help" people configure a radio using AI... not AI itself in the radio). Anyway 🙄 (just a benchmark on where public understanding of exactly what AI is and what AI isn't. Soon there will be "AI POWERED CEREAL", for marketing reasons).

I've seen a lot of talk about "generating #PassiveIncome ". To some degree, this is understandable - we all live in a late-stage Capitalist hellhole, which means that we must always live in fear of bankruptcy unless we are so rich that we can outsource all our risks to other people. Thus, extra income streams which we don't have to do much work is very, very appealing.

But ultimately, the real trick to getting passive income... is to have money to start with, which can then be invested in order to pay you dividends or all the other stuff the rentier class gets income from.

And if you _don't_ have that money for investment, you will not have those opportunities for passive income, and be _deeply_ suspicious of anyone who tells you otherwise - because they are trying to sell you "self-help courses" and the like which will not help you one bit.

As an example, some years ago - before the #AI / #LLM hype even broke loose - I saw people on Twitter flogging "writing books in order to generate passive income". And while I, as a published author, can confirm that there is indeed _some_ money to be earned by writing, there is nothing "passive" about it.. You have to write the book, you have to proofread it, you have to get others to read it and give you feedback, you have to go through the publishing process... and once you are done you will have to do it all over again, because the best advertising for a book is _another_ book.

Now, there is nothing wrong with contemplating some new money-making opportunities - again, we live in a late-stage Capitalist hellhole, and we need the money to survive. But be clear-eyed about the efforts involved versus the rewards you get, and don't trust people who try to sell you get-rich-quick schemes.

The Office of National Statistics which has been suffering from a range of problems with its data in recent years, will utilise AI & associated technologies to 'solve' these problems & to improve efficiency in analysing the raw data it collects, and (of course) to cut costs - by which it means further reduce its staffing.

Given this is an *expansion* of AI use one might wonder if its recent problems have been caused by AI-use rather than likely to be solved by it?

The enemy is not #AI -- the enemy is #Capital ; it's not the machines that are to blame, it's not the code and the models that are to blame, it's who owns them. Using "intellectual property" laws like copyright to fight against the big AI companies won't help the creators, it will only lead to all the AI models being "owned" by the huge IP hoarders like Disney and Elsevier.
We need to fight a very different machine, the insane economic system known as #Capitalism . The reason why they're building insanely huge computing centres everywhere, the reason why they're training bigger and bigger machine learning models, is simply that the world economy has run out of growth. Investors are desperately trying to find any markets that have any growth potential left, but there aren't any. If we're being honest, growth is over, we have even exceeded the global ecological growth limits, which means that even the current size of the world economy is too big to become sustainable, and anything unsustainable won't be sustained for very long, meaning that the world economy will #collapse at some point not too far in our future.
If the machines didn't belong to a small number of very rich people but to everyone, if private property simply didn't exist and all the people just shared everything, nobody would have to worry about AI.
We aren't even close to AGI, let alone superintelligence; LLMs aren't even _really_ intelligent, they're just billion-dimensional word clouds, huge vector spaces made from entire libraries where words that often occur together are closer to each other than those that don't. Machines that can generate text that looks "intelligent", machines that can generate images and sounds and video, may seem like magic or like something alien or out of science fiction, but they aren't going to come alive. I'm not saying that artificial general intelligence, artificial minds, even artificial superintelligence, will never exist, but they aren't going to spontaneously emerge from LLMs or any of the other currently popular applications of machine learning. I think the probability of AGI/ASI ever coming into existence is rather low due to the fact that the Industrial Age is running on fumes and will probably collapse before ever getting there. Just like asteroid mining, orbital habitats, or factories on the Moon or Mars.

What is happening right now to knowledge workers, office workers, creative workers, artists, musicians, etc., is very similar to what happened to all kinds of other professions when automation became available for their jobs, beginning with artisanal weavers in the late 18th and early 19th century. And while attacking the machines has always been a very human thing to do, it has also always been rather stupid. We should be attacking the system instead. We need to seize the machines, end private property, reinvent and remake the technology. Machine learning is a very powerful tool, but the hardware needed to train and run them should be owned by everybody. We only need huge computing centres if we want to crunch insane volumes of numbers very quickly; if we don't need to train an entirely new AI model within a few weeks or months, if it is OK for a model's training to take a couple of years, we can do it with hige distributed networks of small consumer PCs, with volunteers contributing spare CPU and GPU cycles over the Internet. The resulting models should be small enough to run at reasonable speed on a single PC. And when there is something that needs to be trained within a shorter period of time and therefore needs a computing centre, the resulting model needs to be in the public domain, an open weights model which can be downloaded, modified, fine-tuned, by anybody.

And of course the people must decide what is included in the training data. I don't think anybody should be able to say something _shouldn't_ be in the training data because it's their IP, I think IP is an abomination, a legal fiction which only serves capital (just like physical property, which is used to keep the means of production under corporate control). However, the people need to be able to decide that some things should be excluded, like fascist or corporate propaganda.

All of this needs to be embedded in a larger revolutionary movement against capitalism itself. We need to replace this insane economy with one that not only works without any net growth but also doesn't collapse entirely when it needs to shrink. None of the existing flavours of #Marxism will do us much good because they were designed for a world where growth is still possible, and that world is over. However, #Anarchism is always a good starting point.

#LinusTorvalds managed to fix a really nasty #Linux #kernel Intel GPU driver bug he was plagued with[1] using #AI, which "enormously helped by doing much of the grunt-work" – but he needed persistence and multiple debug patches as well, as the AI multiple times had told him to give up and just report the bug.

To quote https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/818bebeb63dd6bf5f4e07e145f6cdbace520a34c:

""And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work.

I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it.

I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be quite as stubborn as I am.

But while the AI was ready to give up several times, it did keep adding debug code and analyzing it faithfully when I pushed. So credit where credit is due and I let the AI write the commit message above.

This is basically a one-liner fixing a bogus "round_up()" to a "round_down()", but there were 24 patches adding more and more debug information to this, and 18 kernel boot to finally narrow it down to this.""

This witch hunt isn't helping anyone.

Because the only ones who don't feel offended when their work is quickly dismissed as AI-generated are the AIs themselves.

And if we keep going this way, eventually they'll be the only ones left.

More AI models will be adding watermarks soon (like SynthID). I guess partially due to the EU AI act. But I was thinking, might it be to prevent the AI models from eating their digital poo as input?

Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered AI adoption in a difference-in-differences design. AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of AI users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.

It's strange how many companies try to offer me services to turn my voice and knowledge into an AI clone. All of them promise to help me build real human connections. So apparently, you can build human connections without a human being there?
