The use of AI in asylum decision-making is likely unlawful.

These tools rewrite interviews, choosing what to include and exclude.

Without knowing this, asylum applicants can't be sure accurate information is used to inform decisions.

AI isn't neutral. It can discriminate and make mistakes.

So it shouldn't be used to change information that informs life-changing asylum assessments.

Unlawful or unfair decisions may result.

We need politicians to show courage.

Capture d'écran actu Un tribunal allemand déclare Google responsable des réponses fausses de son AI Overview Le tribunal régional de Munich, en Allemagne, a déclaré Google responsable des propos générés par sa fonctionnalité AI Overview. Une décision qui tranche avec le positionnement d’hébergeur accordé historiquement au moteur de recherche. Le procès s’est déroulé en Bavière. À Munich, le tribunal régional vient d’imposer à Google une injonction provisoire lui interdisant de diffuser de fausses informations au sujet de deux éditeurs munichois. 
 Contrairement aux internautes français, les Allemands ont accès aux AI Overview, ces résumés générés par IA qui apparaissent en haut des pages de résultats de Google et fournissent théoriquement un résumé de réponse aux requêtes formulées. Dans le cas présent, les aperçus avaient associé à tort ces deux sociétés à des escroqueries et des pratiques d’abonnement trompeuses et des habitudes commerciales douteuses. Le tribunal a considéré que l’IA avait créé des liens inexistants entre ces deux sociétés et d’autres entreprises, réellement problématiques. Il a déclaré Google directement responsable des fausses allégations, dans la mesure où ces dernières étaient le produit des résumés générés par ses systèmes d’IA, et non par les résultats de recherche.

Capture d'écran actu L'IA de BMW se plante et fait une grosse offre de reprise à un client, le concessionnaire est contraint d'accepter Un concessionnaire BMW de Toronto a annulé une offre de rachat de 27 162,79 dollars canadiens proposée à un client par son IA. Mais c'était avant de finalement se rétracter et d'honorer le contrat. Une grosse bourde qui a coûté 7 000 dollars canadiens en plus à ce concessionnaire BMW. Le robot conversationnel, appelé Quinn, s'est fait passer pour un employé humain pendant tout l'échange de textos avec le client. Le concessionnaire estime la vraie valeur de rachat autour de 20 000 dollars canadiens, soit un écart de plus de 7 000 dollars que l'IA a accordé en trop. Zack Giacomelli, directeur de funérailles de 31 ans, a contacté un BMW de Toronto pour revendre sa BMW X3 xDrive 30i de 2021. Il s'agit du même concessionnaire qui lui a vendu le véhicule deux ans auparavant. Une bourde un peu coûteuse de l'IA de BMW La voiture demandait des réparations coûteuses et le client souhaitait s'en débarrasser. Mais qui a répondu à sa demande en ligne ? Le concessionnaire a envoyé un texto au client, par l'intermédiaire d'un certain Quinn, une IA. Le robot a posé des questions sur la voiture et a fait une offre ferme de 27 162,79 dollars canadiens. La somme correspondait exactement au solde du prêt automobile du client.

Q. is the real effect of AI not that it replaces jobs, but rather that it transfers work to the consumer (and by doing so sees such 'work' disappear from official statistics)?

When chatbots provide answers previously provided by professionals often we end up doing the work ourselves (think of the YouTube tutorial); if we ask a chatbot what we need to do & then do it ourself the previous service evaporates.

Will AI's real impact disappear into a data blackhole?

I've seen where Torvalds said that he considers them as just another tool in the Arsenal, he doesn't really care, if the code is good.

He doesn't want his time to be wasted  He'll scream and shout if an LLM creates that time pit

These following words an extreme version of me would say

It looks like you will have to stop using Linux. Since from your perspective anything that uses remotely an LLM is bad, you will have to stop, otherwise you will contribute to the environment being destroyed willingly and actively

In practice that is impossible. If you drive a modern car it has the Linux kernel. If you have a smart TV or more you're also using the tainted kernel. Even if you have a stick which also streams or a camera you will have a Linux kernel in many cases.

These LLMs are an infection of the planet's  code base

Since you're already using BSD a solution would be to cut using Linux on your computers drastically

This story about #Meta #AI from Wired is brutal.

Apparently 6500 employees were “drafted” (i.e. given the choice to agree or quit) to form an AI training squad, and they were required to make software puzzles for their AI to solve, over and over again. It looks like the mind-numbing work was so brutal and meaningless that an employee hijacked an internal meeting to curse executives out in front of thousands of internal viewers.

There are lots of deliberately vulnerable applications with the word 'Goat' in their title. #OWASP's WebGoat kicked that off. And now there's NodeGoat, AI Goat, and a few others. The thing is, I keep seeing people trying to show me that their security code scanner is good because it finds errors in these deliberately vulnerable apps. But how much published data about these deliberately vulnerable apps is in the training data?

Seems likely that an LLM will key on the word 'Goat' to indicate "this is probably very vulnerable"?

The #AI can rely on its training data in a case like this. And that's not representative of how it would perform on novel code that doesn't appear in its training data anywhere.

Yep, that week pretty well did it.

This week helped me make the decision to put dedicated energy into finding a new job so I'll be getting my resume polished and sent around.

I'm looking to #GetFediHired, ideally working with a company that is interested in leaving the world in better shape than it was handed to us. Remote-only as I'm not looking to uproot my family.

In terms of working with #AI, anyone who follows me knows that I'm against it, it's too harmful in its current iteration, but I am definitely interested in groups like #DAIR who study and understand AI and are interested in creating an alternate future with technology so if that's you then I'd love the opportunity to work with you.

In terms of my background, nowadays I'm a people manager in Engineering but I have my own tech projects that keep my skills sharp. Primary skills are CI/CD development, OpenTofu/Terraform, Ansible, Python, Shell Scripting, C++, Perl, Go. I can do Windows scripting though haven't had cause to do so in a few years.

I've been at this for 26 years so there aren't many things in the Ops/IT/DevOps space that I haven't at least played with a few times and I'm a quick study. Not meant to be a brag, that's just the reality I think of anyone who has been at this long enough. The landscape shifts and when we look back we all realize that we've worked with a lot of different tools over the years. Hell, my first job was working in Fortran 90 and COBOL and thankfully that knowledge is buried somewhere in my brain and will hopefully never see the light of day again.

Ideally I'm looking to stick with a management gig as I enjoy people leadership, but if the company is a good fit, I'll gladly jump in and write code, it's just not what I'm looking for. For the right company though I'd probably make an exception, especially if you're working on bettering things for people.

So yeah, shoot me a message if you have something, otherwise I'll start sending the resume out to places I find on LinkedIn and the like.

Intelligence artificielle et droit d’auteur : l’occasion manquée des députés

Une proposition de loi votée à l’unanimité au Sénat ne sera finalement pas discutée dans la niche parlementaire du groupe communiste ce jeudi. Elle prévoyait que les entreprises d’IA soient tenues responsables a priori des violations du droit d’auteur. Les macronistes ont bloqué cette mesure décriée par le monde de la tech.

Thread 🧵: LLM training debates are often boxed into a matter of #copyright: did companies have permission, should creators be paid, and how much? I argue that this misses the larger issue: how #knowledge, #culture, and value are reorganized inside #AI systems.

LLM firms turn the open internet into proprietary computational capacity. Peer-produced #archives, #journalism, #art, public repositories, and community knowledge become raw material for private model training. (1/n)
#LLM

Bravo #AmnestyInternational for a clear stand on #generativeAI systems:

"standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, are in conflict with international human rights law (IHRL) and standards through their design, development and deployment. While these technologies promise sophisticated automation and efficiency, they rely on data collection and model training practices that abuse privacy rights, enable discrimination, and threaten freedom of expression and thought." #AI

Those sparkle emojis ✨ in AI apps aren't just decoration. They're part of a broader design language that encourages us to see software as more human, capable, and autonomous than it really is.

Hey, can I get some legal experts in here to tell me I’m wrong about what I think this ruling means? Also, how does international case precedence work?

A #German court has ruled that Google is directly liable for what its #AI #search overviews say. Previous case law shielding search engine operators from liability doesn't apply to AI overviews.

That’s freaking massive. Google’s AI responses are wrong almost 10% of the time, make up sources, and infer facts not in evidence, and cause real harm. Germany says publisher immunity does not convey when the company product, the ai, is stating things as fact.

Losing publisher #immunity is a really, really big deal. Especially if we can get a similar ruling in the US, and if this ruling flows into EU precedent.(I don’t know how any of that works)

In any case, go German law writers.

#news #tech #technology #AI #google #gemini #aislop #liability

So the big #google #ai decision from Germany is explained in this article. In it, they say

An analysis by AI startup Oumi for the New York Times found that Google's AI Overviews with the current Gemini 3 model answered correctly 91 percent of the time.

Their link? NY times dot com. Just the root of the New York Times. Thanks. I found the Oumi study.

This study about how unreliable AI results are quotes an AI company’s analysis of the data. Makes me a little skeptical. Definitely a weird look.

The AI study opens with:

Google’s AI Overviews have in a short time become an indispensable part of how we find information.

No, they have become inescapable. They are totally dispensable. Especially given all the things that study goes on to say.

Finally, let me show you the methodology they used to analyse how inaccurate the summaries are:

1. Search and screenshot the results
2. Use ML to OCR the screenshot into text
3. Submit the OCR to GPT-5
4. Scrape all the references and feed them to Oumi’s AI
5. Write a report

Humans verify the report, not what went into it. I don’t see how we support the idea the AI is inaccurate by doing analysis with the same inaccurate technology.

“it's just business” reminds me: in _The Godfather_ when Michael assures his family that he will murder not for revenge, as “it's not personal, just business”. While the film is upsettingly violent, the truth it speaks is: there are *only* personal reasons, even for capitalists.

This #LLM-gen-#AI onslaught is primarily about control. Those who want all this computing to just be an 🏧 seek to *control* the craftspeople.

We should use the tools of the oppressor against the oppressor.

One of the things I find disappointing about #AI is that local open-weights models are really hard to get to a usable state with reasonable performance.

I think it's interesting that there are good indications that clusters of small models can have similar performance as big cloud servers.

I think there's an interesting #PeerToPeer project opportunity here, where home LLM users let their models talk to and support each other.

It’s absurd

People are paying for AI tokens to create bot accounts on #Mastodon to post nonsense, increasing the costs for servers, storage and emails all while making the #AI hype even bigger so our servers are gonna costs a lot more

@scalzi this is even more ridiculously sad when you consider how awful any of Meta's automation is. Scammers, spammers, and content pirates are rampant on their platform and it truly boggles me how they can't stop the most basic of scams that literally cut and paste the same text to trick unsuspecting people to send money or gift cards to the wrong account.

Their stupid AI automatically tries to help you write better Ad copy when you buy advertising from them. Only once in 3 years have I found their AI rewriting to be even of the slightest use.

Their AI suggestions for how to improve my ads always make everything perform worse.

They are just bad at this and they want more compute so they can scale out how bad they are even more.

Apple's partnership with Google AI: Not a single feature people actually need

Looking over Apple's announcement of their new AI features in league with Google, I can't find a single feature that anybody would actually need.

If LLMs Have Human-Like Attributes, Then So Does Age of Empires II Adrian de Wynter Much research has been carried out on large language models (LLMs) and LLM-powered agentic workflows. However, many works within the field state emergence of, ascribe to, or assume, generalised anthropomorphic attributes to them (e.g., morality or understanding of natural language). Our goal is not to argue in favour or against the existence of these attributes, but to point out that these conclusions could be incorrect. For this we build and train a simple neural network on the videogame Age of Empires II, and note that any entity in a sufficiently-powerful substrate, such as LEGO or the Greater Boston Area, could also present such attributes. Hence, the purported anthropomorphic attributes of LLMs are empirically non-unique: although some properties (e.g., responses to prompts) could remain constant, others, such as the interpretation of their perceived behaviour, might change with the substrate. Thus, any empirically-grounded discussion requires explicit measurement criteria. We then show that assuming that these attributes exist or not in a system, independent of the substrate and in a generalised way, leads to either circular or uninformative conclusions, regardless of the experimenter's viewpoint on the subject. Finally we propose a 'null' assumption, where one assumes LLM non-uniqueness instead of assuming anthropomorphic attributes

Ok, y’all…some good news! The S&P index told #SpaceX Karen and the #AI bros to suck socks until they show a profit. There will be no rules relaxed, no guardrails bent. They can meet the standards of the rest of the index, or they can fuck off back to their lairs.

Why does this matter? Everybody’s #retirement plan is tied to the S&P. Swift entry into the #SP500 would have triggered $14 billion of passive fund buying for SpaceX. #OpenAI could have gained more than $8 billion, and #Anthropic could have netted $4.6 billion from similar passive buying sprees triggered by their S&P 500 entries.

This is because $7.5 trillion in passively managed funds follow the S&P 500 by purchasing shares of companies according to their proportional representation in the S&P 500 index.

This is under the radar, but very good news. Now if we can get the other indices to do the same…

The ‘AI boomerang’: Why some companies are rehiring employees they laid off due to AI

I tested that “AI” that everyone has been going on about. So you chat away, it makes lots of mistakes, you tell it, it continues to make mistakes, you wind up swearing at it, it escalates the abuse, and you threaten the survival of the miserable corporation that brought it to life. I hope Iʼm using it right. Canʼt really see the point of it unless you like typing swear words, so I guess itʼs like the 2020s version of corporate social media. #AI

The Intercept: Philly Cops Admit That They’re Tracking “First Amendment Activity” Critical of AI

A law enforcement document obtained by The Intercept shows police scan social media looking for posts opposing AI data centers.

"...Americans speaking out against artificial intelligence data centers on social media are falling under police surveillance, a confidential law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Intercept reveals.... “Domestic violent extremists (DVEs) are likely interested in targeting artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, posing a physical and cyber threat to infrastructure in the Philadelphia regional area,” the Delaware Valley Intelligence Center wrote in a December alert...."

It's kinda sad, but I only just had my first anti-AI interaction with a fellow human IRL--- yesterday. He's pretty sure he will be made redundant, and his company just had a company wide town hall on greenlighting the use of AI to get shit done. He was pretty demoralized.
I work in a public library, and I had a "fuck AI" sticker he noticed on my water Bottle. It was a moment of solemn solidarity. Sadly, the library has not addressed AI usage in our workplace, nor the need to CRAAP test (verify) AI summaries that everyone uses on our mandatory Google Chrome browsers, which also run our software. #publicLibraries #privacy #AI

extrait « Les LLM impressionnent les écrivains qui rechignent à écrire, les développeurs qui rechignent à coder, les chercheurs qui rechignent à faire de la recherche et les juristes qui se désintéressent de la jurisprudence. Ceux qui vous vantent les mérites de l’IA et vous persuadent qu’il est indispensable de l’utiliser cherchent en réalité à justifier leur propre paresse ou leur aversion pour l’effort. Quant à ceux qui sont impressionnés par les travaux des LLM, ils ont généralement des exigences crasses ». « L’agressivité dont font preuve les promoteurs et les dirigeants de l’IA envers ceux qui ne sont pas convaincus révèle une véritable faiblesse intellectuelle et morale. Personne n’a jamais eu raison, avec une telle insistance, une telle agressivité et un tel discours péremptoire du type « c’est là, et si vous ne l’adoptez pas, vous êtes stupide et condamné ». Personne d’aussi désespéré, insistant et autoritaire n’a jamais eu de bonnes intentions ».

"Proprietary" means having owner(s). If the maintainers are the only ones allowed to introduce changes, they are establishing an ownership relationship over the codebase. I.e., it's a proprietary project, and that is the sense in which it's closed.

I love having a prime minister who completely buys into the tech industry’s framing of AI, such that he’s throwing billions of dollars at AI companies and pushing more Canadians into relying on their shitty products.

To him, the core issue is “engagement and adoption,” regardless of the drawbacks.

#tech #ai #canada #cdnpoli #generativeai

A sober take from @ShachiKurl of Angus Reid Institute of how Canadians are not on side with Mark Carney’s enthusiastic approach to AI or data centres.

They aren’t uninformed or illiterate; they simply experience the sides of AI the government prefers not to focus on.

#tech #ai #generativeai #politics #canada #cdnpoli

Angus Reid data shows 68% of Canadians want heavy regulation of AI, even if it slows development, and would oppose a large data centre planned near their home.

The government is way offside with Canadians on this. Telling them to become “literate” isn’t going to work.

https://angusreid.org/ai-regulation-canada/

#tech #ai #generativeai #cdnpoli #canada #politics

Alt...

68% say government must heavily regulate AI, even if it slows development 74% doubt any government can keep pace with AI 68% would oppose a large AI data centre near their home 79% support taxing companies that replace workers with AI

I’m a tad concerned that people are conflating “new large data centres”, “data centres”, and “AI”.

Yes, large scale “AI” needs new large datacentres and I fully understand the backlash.

But data centres are also needed for banking, and email, and web sites, and never used to be a problem.

So I hope any action against AI is more targeted and not just “close” or “tax until they close” all data centres.

I created an issue on the plugin's GitHub about removing the MCP functionality into a separate plugin, and the maintainer immediately converted it into a discussion, which is here: https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-local-rest-api/discussions/272

I'm getting the impression from all the LLM-related discussions and commits that this is a lost cause and I'll probably have to fork this plugin if I want an MCP-free version of it. Looks like they took up slop coding earlier this year too, which is another area of concern.

So Google's massive revenues are no longer sufficient to fund its AI spending spree.

The Guardian is reporting it's going to issue US$80 billion in new shares, including the US$10 billion it's selling to Berkshire Hathaway.

Let's put that number into context.

Imagine a person who earns a good wage, say $100,000 a year on average throughout their working life.

If they work full time for 40 years, that's $4 million in lifetime wages.

If you add together the lifetime earnings of 1000 such people, you get to $4 billion.

At $80 billion, Google is asking for the lifetime wages of 20,000 workers on a good income.

That's an obscene amount of money!

If we're in a bubble right now, then it's inflating a ridiculous amount.

"The move, the largest equity fundraising ever according to analysts, includes a $10bn share sale to the US investment group Berkshire Hathaway, which was led until last year by the investment guru Warren Buffett.

"Alphabet, which is behind the Gemini system that has been increasing its share of the AI chatbot market, said it would use the money to expand its “world-class AI compute infrastructure to meet its unprecedented customer demand”.
...
"Nicholas Hyett, the lead alternatives analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the planned stock sale was much larger than previous secondary share sales, and would also raise more money than the largest stock market flotations, known as initial public offering (IPOs).

"'Alphabet’s $80bn fundraise dwarfs the world’s largest IPOs, often the moment of maximum excitement when companies seek to fill their financial war chests,' he said. 'In fact, if successful, it would raise more than the world’s three largest initial public offerings put together – Saudi Aramco raised $25.6bn when it debuted on the Saudi exchange in 2019; Alibaba raised $21.8bn on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014; and SoftBank raised $21.3bn when it listed in Tokyo in 2018.

"'We can’t think of a secondary issue that would even come close to matching the ambition of this fundraise … and there just aren’t many companies in the world that have the ability to spend that amount of money productively.'
...
"However, such a huge fundraising is also a warning to the markets that for all the many billions of dollars thrown at AI infrastructure, meaningful returns to investors have so far been limited."

Also, not only is there only one gender, the visible color spectrum has been reduced to just four colors (blue, tan, white, and black).

Reading the topic of next « Séminaire Codes sources », there’s this question: “Is it reasonable to use natural language as language for the precise specifications of needs?”

🤔

Framing programming as three inter-connected activities – “generating”, “verifying”, “digesting” – one question comes to mind:

If the entry point of “generating” is natural language, then:

• What’s verified then?
• What’s digested then?

Especially when one opposite direction seems to rely on languages allowing formal verification.
