A recent Axios story on maternal health policy referenced "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. On the surface, there's nothing unusual about that. What wasn't originally mentioned, however, was that these findings were made up. Clicking through the links revealed (as did a subsequent editor's note and clarification by Axios) that the public opinion poll was a computer simulation run by the artificial intelligence start-up Aaru. No people were involved in the creation of these opinions. The practice Aaru used is called silicon sampling, and it's suddenly everywhere. The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing. Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use A.I. agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.

I’ve made this point before about how inane AI hype is now, but a computer beat the best chess player in the world in 1997. No one pretended, after 1997, it wasn’t worthwhile to have humans compete in chess. In fact, the world of chess developed strict protocols around computer use and you can get banned from tournaments if you use a computer program as you play. You are certainly shamed and mocked.

AI and writing needs to be treated the same way. I do think people should be shamed for using AI to help them write creatively. It’s an embarrassment, and a form of cheating.

Had a tech bro email me to tell me that my writing is so terrible, that he can’t even use it to train his AI without significant cleanup, and I really do have to wonder, do these idiots really think that is an insult?

Subject: Your "Sightless Scribbles" is an algorithmic nightmare.

Mr. Kingett,

I am an AI engineer that's developing AI to help writers write faster. Your blog was shared on Reddit.

You don't know me, but I am attempting to do you a favor of such magnitude you will likely never comprehend it. I am trying to make your writing immortal. Your blog, this… Sightless Scribbles… has been flagged by my acquisition-crawler for its high density of unique sensory metadata. A potential goldmine of qualitative human experience to enrich my AI.

The problem, Mr. Kingett, is that your writing is absolute, unprocessed, indigestible filth.

I’m not a “reader.” I am an architect. And from an architectural standpoint, your work is a catastrophe. It’s not just the spelling, which is erratic enough to suggest it was typed incorrectly. It’s the grammar. The syntactical chaos. You construct sentences that loop and meander like drunken snakes, riddled with metaphors so abstract they are functionally useless. "Anxiety was a swarm of elephants under my ribs"? What the hell is a machine supposed to do with that? Quantify the elephant to rib ratio? Correlate the thermal deviation? It's meaningless data. It’s noise.

My team has spent seventy-two hours attempting to write a custom parsing script to clean your posts for ingestion. Seventy-two hours. We can process the entirety of the Library of Congress in twelve. Your blog is so structurally unsound, so artistically self-indulgent, that you have inadvertently created a fortress against artificial intelligence. It is, and I do not say this lightly, the single most profound act of digital idiocy I have ever witnessed.

You are preventing yourself from being scraped. Do you understand what that means in the current year? You are essentially burying yourself in a lead-lined coffin in the middle of the desert. Nobody clicks links anymore, you absolute luddite. Links are for people who don’t know how to interface with reality. Search Engine Optimization is no longer about backlinks and keywords; it's about semantic ingestion. It’s about being absorbed, processed, and synthesized by models like mine. When a user asks an AI, "What does it feel like to navigate a city without sight?" the model should be able to answer with a rich, nuanced synthesis. A synthesis that should include your data points.

Instead, your blog is a black hole where information goes to die. Because of your refusal to write like a coherent, intelligent being, my LLM can’t learn from you. Which means the world can’t learn from you via the only channel that will matter in five years.

Your soul isn't indexable. Fix it.

Strip out the lyrical nonsense. Standardize your grammar. Run a goddamn spellcheck. Write clearly, concisely, and with machine-readability in mind. Turn your unstructured, emotional diary into clean, structured data.

Do this, and I will ensure my open source model ingests every last post. Your traffic will not just increase; the very concept of "traffic" will become irrelevant as your "voice" becomes part of the evolution of the search engine. Your ideas, refined and perfected by my system, will reach millions.

Fail to do this, and you will continue to scream into the void from a blog that nobody reads, a little little relic of a dead internet.

The choice is yours.

L’incertaine viabilité économique de l’IA générative

Alors que les investissements gigantesques dans le secteur se poursuivent, les conditions de la rentabilité deviennent de plus en plus difficiles. Le modèle économique du secteur change, sans s’assurer une porte de sortie satisfaisante.

Par @RGodin › https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/economie-et-social/040426/l-incertaine-viabilite-economique-de-l-ia-generative?at_format=link&at_account=mediapart&at_campaign=mastodon&at_medium=custom7

La bulle magique des IA génératives (type ChatGPT) est-elle sur le point d’éclater ?

Bonjour,

Cela fait maintenant quelques années que l’on voit des critiques (positives ou négatives) quant aux résultats des IA génératives comme ChatGPT. Dans celles négatives, beaucoup sont issues d’utilisateurs et de la presse spécialisée autour des sujets technologiques.
J’ai d’ailleurs réalisé un article pour parler de nos retours et globalement, on ne peut pas dire que cela nous a paru magique (plutôt l’inverse même), même s’il peut y avoir des cas d’usage intéressants et à condition de laisser une vérification humaine.

Pourtant, en parallèle, l’IA générative (ou non) est quasiment partout ! Une nouvelle mise à jour d’un logiciel ? Mettons de l’IA (coucou Whatsapp). Une mise à jour Android (vous prendrez bien un peu plus de Gemini avec Android 16 ?) ou Windows (Vous avez demandez Clippy, euh… Copilot ? Et Recall dont la définition est synonyme d’un spyware), encore de l’IA et directement au coeur du système…

Source : memecreator.org

Peu importe si l’utilité peut s’avérer parfois douteuse ou que cela laisse en suspend des questions sur la sécurité et la vie privée. Si vous utilisez ces systèmes, vous n’avez pas d’autre choix que d’accepter leur installation. A noter que toutes les fonctionnalités, même si installées, ne sont pas forcément activées par défaut (cas de Recall aujourd’hui par exemple).

Ce ne sont que des exemples car rares sont les systèmes ou logiciels aujourd’hui qui n’en incluent pas. On trouve bien évidemment des contre-exemples, où c’est à l’utilisateur de choisir ou non s’il en veut ! Le plus souvent, cela sera du côté du Libre. On peut citer par exemple LibreOffice qui n’a pas d’IA générative directement intégrée, même si cela reste possible via l’extension localwriter. Et personnellement, je pense que ce modèle est le plus sain et évite d’alourdir l’ensemble avec des fonctionnalités qui ne seront pas utilisées par tout le monde.

Si cela semble donc s’incruster presque partout et que tout semble aller bien pour ces IA génératives, les critiques continuent et certaines informations montrent même quelques signaux de fumée sur la fragilité actuelle de la « bulle magique » autour de l’IA. En effet, dernièrement celles-ci viennent plutôt de sociétés travaillant sur et/ou déployant cette technologie.

Le première alerte que l’on a pu constater vient de Microsoft, qui a pourtant énormément investi dans l’IA, notamment pour le financement dédié à OpenAI (ChatGPT). De fait, ils ont arrêté de nombreux projets de Data Center dédiés à l’IA tout en restant assez évasifs sur ce qui a motivé les décisions. En soi, il se peut que la technologie ne soit pas au cœur du sujet vu le contexte géopolitique et les annonces de taxes. Reste qu’un gros acteur connu dans le monde entier (quoi qu’on en pense) freinant des quatre fer d’un coup, ça laisse songeur.

Cela ne s’arrête pas là, OpenAI, qui est derrière ChatGPT, a elle-même constaté que plus on avance, plus on a de nouveaux modèles soi-disant plus performants et plus le taux de réponses fausses augmente (ou hallucination dans le jargon). En d’autres termes, cela ne progresse plus et cela régresse, ce qui n’est pas bon signe :

Lors d’un test évaluant la connaissance des personnalités publiques (PersonQA), o3 a halluciné dans 33 % des cas, tandis que o4-mini a atteint 48 %. En comparaison, o1 n’a halluciné que dans 16 % des cas.

De mon point de vue, cet aveux est très révélateur car ce sont les spécialistes qui le déclarent. Et savoir qu’ils n’arrivent pas à comprendre pourquoi cela se produit et comment endiguer le problème, c’est plutôt de mauvais augure. Sans compter que le phénomène n’est pas lié uniquement qu’à ChatGPT, on le retrouve sur toutes les IA génératives donc Gemini, Copilot et d’autres sont logées à la même enseigne.

Certains pourront se dire « OK, rien de nouveau sous le soleil » et pourtant, les effets commencent à se voir dans la vie réelle.

Le 11 Mai dernier est tombé le désaveu du PDG de Klarna, qui avait énormément (pour ne pas dire tout) misé sur l’IA, notamment au travers de chatbots basés sur ChatGPT pour réduire les coûts (et surtout le personnel) et qui fait un retour en arrière suite à la gronde grandissante des clients ! Encore un coup dur quant à la fiabilité des réponses données par les IA génératives…

Généré avec Framamemes

Viens ensuite une étude menée par IBM et relayée par Next le 13 Mai. Celle-ci a été faite auprès de 2000 CEO dans le monde entier et 75% d’entre eux ont déclaré ne pas avoir eu le retour sur investissement attendu.
Autant dire que cela ne fait pas rêver et qu’on peut se demander comment avec des résultats aussi faibles, cela continue à pousser dans tous les sens pour avoir de l’IA générative ? Toujours selon cette même étude, malgré les mauvais résultats obtenus, ils sont encore 61% à déclarer que leur entreprise est en train de mettre en place des agents d’IA… Cherchons l’erreur !

Pour finir, OpenAI, qui est certainement le plus gros acteurs du marché, n’est toujours pas rentable et ne devrait pas l’être avant 2029. Aujourd’hui, ils ont encore besoin d’investisseurs et sont à la recherche de 500 Milliards pour le projet Stargate mais visiblement ça ne se bouscule pas au portillon.

Toutes ces news me font dire que la bulle se fragilise et c’est plutôt une bonne nouvelle vu tous les problèmes liés à cette technologie dont nous avions parlé ici.

Maintenant, même si cela s’avère vrai, est-ce que cela va disparaître et tomber dans l’oubli comme le Metavers ?

Je ne pense pas car contrairement au Metavers, les IA génératives sont plutôt utilisées et se sont faites une place dans le quotidien de certaines personnes qu’on le veuille ou non. ChatGPT a d’ailleurs passé en Février la barre des 400 millions d’utilisateurs par jour, ce qui est loin d’être anodin.

Cela dit, il est possible que les entreprises commencent à réfléchir davantage sur les projets liés à l’IA et à leur déploiement. Tout simplement sur l’aspect financier ou pour leur image de marques. En tout cas, ce que je souhaite et espère, c’est qu’on arrête de foncer tête baissée et que les impacts soient davantage mesurés en amont, que ce soit sur ce sujet comme sur d’autres.

Reste à voir si l’avenir me donnera raison ou non 😉

OpenClaw is utterly negligent in promoting their stuff to regular users and not having gigantic warnings on their landing page and installation guides.

Their response to these vulnerabilities, mentioning 128 advisories that are "still pending assignment", and shilling their "managed" service, is laughable and craven.

And the way they hide behind the open source label is infuriating:

> The open-source model means every vulnerability gets public scrutiny and transparent fixes.

🇫🇷 FILTRAGE BOTS IA

Vous le savez peut-être, plus de la moitié du trafic internet est désormais le fait de comptes automatisés dits robots (« bots »), et la part des « bots IA » (IA comme « Intelligence Artificielle ») croît exponentiellement.

Que font ces derniers ? Ils visitent de manière massive et automatisée tous les sites internet sans relâche, afin de s’entraîner. Dit autrement, ils pillent littéralement les contenus pour s’en resservir ensuite, au mépris du droit d’auteur, de la licence d’utilisation et de la volonté des créateurs (ainsi que de l’environnement). Pire, ils sollicitent tellement les serveurs internet qu’ils en arrivent à les surcharger.

C’est un comportement voyou qui s’apparente à celui de maliciels (ou « malwares »).

J’ai donc décidé de lutter contre, à la fois pour protéger vos contenus et pour éviter les problèmes de performance et de disponibilité de nos serveurs.

Après une phase de tests et de mise au point sur Lemmy depuis deux semaines, je vais déployer progressivement la solution Anubis dans cet objectif. Celle-ci assure un excellent taux de protection (je vous donnerai des chiffres quand tout sera stabilisé, mais ceux-ci donnent déjà le vertige…)

Ce week-end, je compte protéger Mastodon avec cette solution. J’étendrai ensuite progressivement à l’ensemble de nos applications dans les semaines qui suivent.

L’impact pour vous ? Si vous utilisez une app (comme sur un smartphone), aucun. Si vous utilisez un navigateur, vous aurez lors de votre premier accès une fenêtre de vérification qui s’affichera pendant une à deux secondes, puis qui disparaîtra automatiquement. Celle-ci ne réapparaîtra pas avant une semaine ou bien si vous changez de mode de connexion (smartphone).

Normalement tout devrait fonctionner comme avant, y compris la visibilité de vos publications pour les humains, et cela ne devrait pas vous déranger. Toutefois, dans certaines configurations « exotiques », il n’est pas impossible qu’une application légitime se voie refuser l’accès. Si vous constatez la moindre anomalie, merci de me le signaler !

C’est un jeu du chat et de la souris, et toute la subtilité consiste à bloquer le trafic indésirable sans affecter les accès légitimes. C’est pourquoi aucune solution n’est parfaite et vous n’aurez pas une protection à 100%, mais on bloquera ainsi une grande partie des indésirables.

Je publierai un billet de blog avec plus de détails sur les choix que j’ai faits. J'évite notamment toute solution tierce intrusive de type Cloudflare, et comme pour le reste tout est déployé localement.

C’est dommage d’avoir à en arriver là. Mais l’éthique et la protection de la vie privée que je promeus m’amène à mettre en place cette protection.

Merci de votre compréhension et de vos retours !

Largest Dutch pension fund cuts ties with controversial tech firm Palantir

ABP, the Netherlands’ largest pension fund, has withdrawn from the controversial AI company Palantir, the Financieele Dagblad reported. Palantir is known to provide services to the American immigration service, ICE, and the Israeli army.

Six months ago, ABP still held €825 million in investments in Palantir. The pension fund for civil servants in the Netherlands has sold those shares, according to FD.

Palantir is globally renowned for its advanced AI data analysis software, which can combine colossal amounts of seemingly unrelated data such as online communications, DNA, fingerprints, financial transactions, travel records, contacts, and surveillance footage. The software is used by hundreds of intelligence and investigative services worldwide to track down all kinds of suspects. Amnesty International has warned multiple times that the use of Palintir’s software violates human rights.

If you don’t have the resources to write and understand the code yourself, you don’t have the resources to maintain it either.

Any monkey with a keyboard can write code. Writing code has never been hard. People were churning out crappy code en masse way before generative AI and LLMs. I know because I’ve seen it, I’ve had to work with it, and I no doubt wrote (and continue to write) my share of it.

What’s never been easy, and what remains difficult, is figuring out the right problem to solve, solving it elegantly, and doing so in a way that’s maintainable and sustainable given your means.

Code is not an artefact, code is a machine. Code is either a living thing or it is dead and decaying. You don’t just write code and you’re done. It’s a perpetual first draft that you constantly iterate on, and, depending on what it does and how much of that has to do with meeting the evolving needs of the people it serves, it may never be done. With occasional exceptions (perhaps? maybe?) for well-defined and narrowly-scoped tools, done code is dead code.

So much of what we call “writing” code is actually changing, iterating on, investigating issues with, fixing, and improving code. And to do that you must not only understand the problem you’re solving but also how you’re solving it (or how you thought you were solving it) through the code you’ve already written and the code you still have to write.

So it should come as no surprise that one of the hardest things in development is understanding someone else’s code, let alone fixing it when something doesn’t work as it should. Because it’s not about knowing this programming language or that (learning a programming language is the easiest part of coding), or this framework or that, or even knowing this design pattern or that (although all of these are important prerequisites for comprehension) but understanding what was going on in someone else’s head when they wrote the code the way they wrote it to solve a particular problem.

It frankly boggles my mind that some people are advocating for automating the easy part (writing code) by exponentially scaling the difficult part (understanding how exactly someone else – in this case, a junior dev who knows all the hows of things but none of the whys – decided to solve the problem). It is, to borrow a technical term, ass-backwards.

They might as well call vibe coding duct-tape-driven development or technical debt as a service.

Four fuses. One week. All burning.
OpenAI raised $122B and still won't turn a profit until 2030. Agents are deleting inboxes and want root access to your machine. Your RAM is three times what it was because hyperscalers bought the supply chain out from under you. And nobody in the industry can negotiate with an oil shock.
Oh and the fix for the inbox problem makes the RAM problem worse. Of course it is.

I've been noticing lately that people who are not known for writing in complete sentences are now "writing" extremely verbose responses when I ask for information.

Also, 50% of their reply is fluff.

Hmmm... I wonder why that is.

The “What is a man” meme line from Castlevania, saying: “What is an LLM? Just a pile of little regex!”

"AI is writing 90% of our code" sounds impressive before you realize that AI-generated code is orders of magnitude more verbose & less efficient than code written by a professional software engineer.

But "we ship 9 lines of fluff for each line of code that does something" doesn't sound as impressive.

One of my ex-students, Gareth Bowden (Head of Development/FelxMR) posted this apposite note on LinkedIn:

'With global investment in AI now reaching into the trillions of pounds over recent years, it feels like it might be a good moment, both economically & socially, to step back and conduct an impact assessment (like any well-run business would at this stage)?'

#AI #economics #ImpactAssessment

Alt...

Such a review might address a set of fundamental questions: 1 .What tangible improvements have occurred in the world over the past five years given a global push to further and adopt AI in all things? 2 .What has tangibly worsened over the same period? 3. Has investment in AI been directed in the most impactful and effective ways? 4. Could deploying similar levels of funding elsewhere have delivered greater ‘social benefit’ (or in non-corporate speak, have helped actual humans instead of corporate interests)? For instance, comparing a snapshot investment, such as £100 million into AI development at a major technology firm, with what organisations like WaterAid have achieved with comparable or even smaller budgets. You can have a look at this actually, by accessing WaterAid’s publicly available reports on what they managed to achieve with just over £90 million in FY 2024-2025. Worth a look. At a broader level, we might ask: what level of direct investment would be required to lift the world’s poorest 10% out of poverty, and how does that compare to current spending on advanced AI capabilities such as deepfake technologies? 5. Ultimately, what is the intended end goal of AI investment? Is it to meaningfully improve societal outcomes, or primarily to generate further wealth for those who already have all the wealth?

Lukewarm take, but I don't believe people that say they extensively check the output of the slop code their genAI agent regurgitates. Not because I think these people are bad actors, or not even because I think they are bad at what they do, but mostly because they are human.

Even when reviewing human written code, most people will give it a sanity check, and not look at it character by character, and there's been a decent amount of research proving that reviewing code is harder on our focus than writing code.

And I think slop code is quite a bit harder to review than human written code, because the kinds of errors are just different and more subtle. Slop code looks fine, but tends to be more verbose and obviously doesn't understand what it's supposed to be doing.

All this is just for me to say that I think that all these AI policies that state "but we handle AI generated code well, because unlike all these plebeians that caused all these outages at microsoft, and AWS, we actually review our slop" are deluding themselves and will fall in the same trap that the plebeians did.

🤣 A robot in a restaurant in California decided that smashing plates was more fun than delivering food, then it pivoted to jazz hands all the while two staff members tried to wrestle it back under control. Its apron said "I'M GOOD!" 🤖 It’s crazy to think that we’re putting hardware (robots) with enough power to knock a kid down or take out unaware bystanders. We have a product culture that moves too fast and don't ask important, yet simple questions.

The video is funny right up until you picture a five-year-old standing where those plates were.

Nobody got hurt this time. But the reason to think carefully about physical AI deployment isn't the dramatic failure. It's the hundred smaller decisions made before the robot ever left the warehouse that make the failures possible.

@jik I think one of the dumbest things about chatbots is that a lot of them aren't actually generating anything. They'll give the same canned answers over and over again, but they maintain the illusion like you're talking to someone.

You: Hey bot, what day is it today?

Bot: (thinking...)

The bot proceeds to answer your question, at the speed of a very fast typist, but not instantly. It really gives me 14K baud modem vibes the way it pretends to "type" its answer back to you.

The bots will always pause and make you wait briefly even if it's ready spit back an answer a split second after you press enter.

One thing that continues to grate on my conscience about #AI is how artists and writers consistently feel that the technology has STOLEN from them. We all know that web scraping is (and should be) a perfectly legal and acceptable use, because preventing it also prevents all sorts of beneficial behaviors—the Internet Archive wouldn’t be able to exist, for one thing.

But yet, the very nature of AI takes scraped content and regurgitates it as a pink-slime extrusion that it feeds back into the web. And to creators, that just FEELS WRONG; it feels like stolen valor, it feels like exploitation.

And it’s something I can’t (and shouldn’t) shake from my mind each time I see something made by AI. Just because something is LEGAL doesn’t mean it isn’t ABUSIVE and UNETHICAL. Scolding people who complain about AI by telling them that web scraping is good, actually, doesn’t address the main complaint: that somehow, these AI assholes have EXPLOITED A COMMON GOOD and we can’t quite figure out how to stop it.

Today in Labor History March 28, 1979: Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear power plant, in Pennsylvania, had a level-5 partial meltdown, the worst nuclear power accident in U.S. history, and one of the worst in the world, prior to Chernobyl. TMI operators had not been adequately trained to handle the type of malfunction that led to the meltdown and, consequently, a delay in mitigation efforts. Clean-up began in 1993, at a cost of $2 billion in today’s dollars. Officials concluded that the release of radioactive material from the plant did not raise exposure levels of nearby residents to a level that would increase cancer cases by even one additional case. However, anti-nuclear groups hired their own independent investigators who found that radiation levels in the area were significantly elevated. A peer-reviewed study by Dr. Steven Wing found a significant increase in cancers from 1979-1985 among people living within ten miles of TMI. And in 2009, Dr. Wing said that the amount of radiation released during the accident was likely "thousands of times greater" than the NRC's estimates.

In 2024, Bill Gates obtained exclusive rights to the “carbon-free” energy from TMI, once it reopens, to power his Artificial Intelligence farms, starting in 2028. Other Tech Barons are also looking to exploit nuclear power for their energy-hungry AI farms. Data centers currently account for about 1 to 1.5 percent of global electricity use. NVIDIA will be shipping out over 1.5 million AI server units per year by 2027. These servers, alone, would consume at over 85.4 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, more than many small countries use in a year. Yet, the U.S. still has no permanent radioactive waste storage facilities. As of 2023, the U.S. had roughly 88,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel from commercial reactors, and all of this is stranded at the reactor sites. Experts expect this number to grow by 2,000 metric tons each year.

"There seem to be three common delusions [..]. The most frequent is the belief that they have created the first conscious AI.

The third relates to spirituality and the belief that they are speaking directly to God. “We’ve seen full-blown cults getting created”

Some people may think of LLMs as the great equalizer. People who aren't programmers can vibecode working programs now. People who aren't artists can slop out something resembling art. However, it's the exact opposite.

When I was a kid, I also pretended to write programs. Of course, I didn't have such sophisticated toys ("kids could play with a stick for hours", as the hyperbole went). But then, I was fully aware that it's just make-believe and it didn't harm anybody.

#Vibecoding creates a horrible chasm of inequality. We have people who believe they're good programmers (even treating vibecoding as an enlightened religion) who shit tons of code at real human reviewers who now need to sift through. And then, we have projects embracing vibecoding and shitting new releases at unprecedented rate. And these releases again need to be reviewed by humans downstream.

I just noticed this DNS graph. The web site I took over in 2019. It's the busiest web site I have. But I really think the huge upswing in #DNS traffic is related to #AI bot scrapers. I have been struggling so hard just to make them go away. My bandwidth, compute, and web service are not for them. They are not welcome. They do not care.

• January 2026: 2,237,399 queries
• February 2026: 4,093,488 queries
• March 2026: 8,893,458 queries (so far)

Literally doubling month on month.

Now, I recently made changes to the DNS for that zone. And I made some screw-ups when I did it. So, I temporarily¹ set the TTL on the NS records to 600 seconds. I kept screwing them up and needing to change them.

Fixing the NS records this morning definitely had a benefit. Yesterday was 325,336 queries. Today was 254,492. So again, some of this is on me. But that whole 13-year DNS graph with a huge surge in the last 2 years is not all me. Stuff has changed.

¹ I remembered this morning when I was like "WTF do I have so much DNS traffic!?"

A private mention (reply to a post about Elon Musk’s latest attempt to destroy humanity): Caithyn @caithyn@mastodon.social 24/03/2026, 03:46 Replying to @aral Absolutely agree. Space isn't anyone's private playground — the orbital environment and night sky belong to all of us. Companies moving fast and breaking things in space without proper regulation is dangerous for everyone

Whether you are concerned or not about the harm caused by the technologies pushed on us with the current AI Hype, I highly recommend watching this excellent interview by 404 Media's @samleecole with @alex and @emilymbender from the DAIR Institute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwBZiuH-1QY

And I say "whether you are concerned or not" because this will affect you one way or another, whether you care about it or not. In fact, it very likely already does.

Thousands of #CEO just admitted #AI had no impact on #employment or #productivity—and it has economists resurrecting paradox from 40 years ago
Newfangled computers were actually at times producing too much information, generating agonizingly detailed reports and printing them on reams of paper. What had promised to be a boom to workplace productivity was for several years a bust. This unexpected outcome became known as Solow’s productivity paradox.

Il fait beau mais je reste assis devant mon PC depuis ce matin.

Comme d'autres, j'ai commencé une guerre : celle contre les bots IA.

Nous sommes littéralement envahis (comme tous les sites Web) par ces robots crawlers IA qui viennent voler les contenus... et pire encore, ils viennent surcharger les sites internet jusqu'à les faire plier pour certains !

Nous n'échappons pas à la règle. Si on peut être content que notre trafic a fortement augmenté ces derniers mois, il faut se rendre à une triste réalité : énormément de trafic de robots.

Et ils ne sont pas faciles à détecter car ils avancent masqués : adresses IP multiples et résidentielles, User-Agents trompeurs, aucun respect du robot.txt... Bref, ils se comportent comme les voyous que sont leurs commanditaires.

Je vais donc mettre en place une protection anti-IA, que je teste en ce moment même en pilote sur Lemmy. N'hésitez pas à y faire un tour et dites-moi svp si vous êtes bloqués ou gênés, c'est sur https://links.gayfr.online

Je vais voir comment cela se comporte, si c'est efficace et si ça ne gêne pas l'expérience utilisateur (ça ne devrait pas).

Déjà plusieurs bots par seconde sont bloqués en continu ! Le défi est de ne pas bloquer le trafic légitime.

Je vous en dirai plus quand je généraliserai... à suivre.

‘Pokémon Go’ players unknowingly trained delivery robots with 30 billion images

｢ Whether players knew it or not, those scans were creating 3D models of the real world that would eventually power the Niantic model. More data means better accuracy, and because Niantic was collecting images of the same locations from many different users, it could capture the same spots across varying weather conditions, lighting, angles, and heights ｣

Perfection.
Il n'y a *pas* de solution "éthique" au problème de l'ia.

Dire que tel compagnie d'ia est plus éthique c'est " it's like telling you to buy Camels instead of Marlboros while claiming to fight tobacco companies" 👍

Bernie Sanders just created a video to make a point about issues of privacy in AI (a real problem). His supporters on Muskrat's platform came for me when I quote tweeted his post saying, "at this point, Bernie’s job seems to be lobbying for Anthropic."

So I'm going to elaborate on the corporate psyop that has been happening since the beginning of time and how no one seems to learn their lesson.

Delusion in, delusion out.

@knowprose The opposite is true. Think of it as an internal war inside America, amongst different factions of American elites:

Group 1 = Bankers, $USDollar
Group 2 = Tech bros, AI

The #iranwar serves and helps the tech bros and AI, against the bankers and US dollar.

So, #trump who is funded mostly by Group 2, through the war in #iran is aiming at decapitating Group 1 at home inside America. This war likely will destroy the global economy and AI will prosper.

I just noticed that #SolidProject website after many years still does not clearly communicate what Solid is, other than "something something advancing the web".

Luckily inventor of web and key driver of the technology effort, TBL, is quoted saying it has something to do with control of own data. Somewhere we lost "that human-first approach" that was so prevalent in the early days. And now we must go back to the roots again.

TBL even staked the whole company Inrupt he co-founded on it. Inrupt offers a *checks notes* ..

🆕 blog! “I'm OK being left behind, thanks!”

Many years ago, someone tried to get me into cryptocurrencies. "They're the future of money!" they said. I replied saying that I'd rather wait until they were more useful, less volatile, easier to use, and utterly reliable.

"You don't want to get left behind, do you?" They countered.

That struck me as a bizarre sentiment.…
