We keep hearing that only 'AI', whose profound ability to grasp complex systems, could solve a problem as wicked, entangled and multi-dimensional as global warming.*

This report details not only why that has no basis in reality, but that this fairytale is part of an industry campaign to make BigAI look like it's part of a habitable future, covering the tracks for genAI's massive footprint.

          It's bigger than just Thaler's case though. (links below) What this means is that NO AI created work can be copyrighted. Not code, not verbiage, not art, not anything.

          Only human created works are eligible for copyright, so sayeth the High Court.

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

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

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

And poses high danger risks that must be known, so we can anticipate and mitigate them timely.

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

Tapi namanya membangun sistem itu juga termasuk mencari kesalahan dan memperbaiki. Amit-amit kalo harus baca hasil vibe coding dan memperbaikinya. Bakal butuh waktu jauh lebih panjang dan bikin frustasi.

It looks like its fully integrated right now. Clients may opt to require employees to scan their faces... but it looks like IDV with Persona is fully integrated into the above mentioned services. So yay.

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

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

I was out with friends last night, and people started talking about how their phones affect their sleep.

I have a little command line Python script that does some basic text reformatting stuff for me. I wanted a version that I could use on my phone. I gave Gemini the script, and asked it to make "a version of this program with the same functionality that I can use on my iphone, but with a textbox and some buttons instead of command line options." I expected it to rewrite this extremely simple Python file into JavaScript or something and give me an HTML file. Or if it wanted to do things the hard way, maybe swift. Nope! It installed uvicorn and requests and fastapi and a bunch of stuff and then rewrote the python script so it could import the existing functionality into the web app it just built. To be fair, it worked perfectly the first time, either on the command line or as a web server. But the original script was about 100 lines of Python! Rewriting it in JavaScript would've been much faster. And not required a reverse proxy and a bunch of deployment work. I guess it took "the same functionality" way too literally and decided the best way to achieve that would be to run the exact same code. When we talk about the impact of , nobody seems to be talking about the impact caused by running AI generated code for years to come. If I didn't know better, and was just an AI vibe coder, I'd now be running an entire docker and reverse proxy setup for something that could be done in the browser with a hundred or so lines of JavaScript. That's honestly a tiny impact individually, but over the course of hundreds and thousands of people and companies, it's going to add up.

By Sreedev Krishnakumar

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will change the world economy as we know it. Who owns the technology though? What does it take to “produce” AI? Are there differences across firms leading the AI charge? A Bank of International Settlements (BIS) bulletin by economists Joe Frost, Kumar Rishabh and Vatsala Shreeti gives a useful summary of these questions. Here are three charts which describe its basic findings.

Docs run on people, and people are a messy tangle of goals, skills, and emotions. When docs hit the brain, they meet varying expectations, knowledge levels, reading abilities, and needs. None of this can be reproduced or simplified to a single pattern, but good docs use structure and words wisely to produce the best possible linguistic shape that can land safely on most people’s heads. Only humans can decide whether that message is getting across in the right way.

                                                                                                                                                                            Getting there is a balancing act between business needs, user needs, and your own. That’s the diplomatic tension that forces all good tech writers to slow down and consider all points of view in the room as if they were in the middle of a spaghetti Western standoff. Slowing down is a deliberate, necessary act in all crafts, and tech writing is no exception. No matter how fast LLMs can churn out drafts, they don’t understand the tension in tech writing, to which we’re adding AI itself as an additional consumer of docs.
                                                                                                                                                                            (...)

That’s because I’m not letting LLMs take the steering wheel, and because I’m building new habits around them: setting up guardrails, automating what can be automated, and keeping my hands on the decisions that matter. I can do that because I know what good docs look like, and because I’ve been doing this long enough to feel when something’s off. That intuition came from years of wrestling with products and watching users struggle with pages I thought were clear. AI can help me write faster. It cannot replace the slow accumulation of judgment that tells me when to stop."

Ex: Microsoft gives money to OpenAI, who gives it back to Microsoft for Azure credits, which Microsoft then reports as "AI Growth".

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

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

join early too.

When the meeting ends, everyone gets an emailed
