Sometimes I do wonder if the only ethical thing let to do is to delete all your projects, and do your best to have them disappear from public space. Of course, that won't stop people from making your complicit in their acts of planetary destruction entirely, but at least you're trying…
And that's coming from me, a person who considers destroying knowledge and craft an unthinkable crime.

Unsplash’s Quietly Brilliant Stance on AI 🚫
"In an increasingly AI-dominated stock photography world, let’s take a moment to celebrate Unsplash.
Their strictly no AI policy demonstrates incredibly strong content values. They didn’t follow suit. Nor did they surrender to the bullshit. They stood by their vision and mission. There’s a lot to be said for that these days."

Nothing that humans made up is inevitable.
The technologies we use are choices we make. The governments we elect are choices we make. The regulations we design are choices we make.
All of it can be changed, reversed, banned, and is indeed evitable.

I'm currently trying Mojeek as an alternative to Google, and happy to see they have an active Mastodon account @Mojeek - they're currently asking for testing help at https://www.mojeek.com/eval - which is fun to be able to help while searching. I noticed there were some things that seem to be missing, like built in km/mph conversions for example or expected to see a wikipedia URL in the search results. #mojeekfeedback
I will never understand why so many activists still use generative images for their content, and rely on big tech for communications and organizations when there are now so many practical, more secure, and much more ethical alternatives.
Your principles aren't just to be stated, they must also be embodied and integrated in your work.
We must show by example what can be done with ethical tech and ethical practices.

AI use is raising fast at work. When I ask about something, the most common answer is "ask the AI". It's also being inserted on all our processes. This only took two months.
Then there's https://mastodon.cloud/@slashdot/116827554598862237 and I keep pleading to at least use it to automate, because we're going to be the things that fall off the bag when it breaks (and the company is going to be the one holding it).
Thank you to @godotengine for responding to people deluging the #GodotEngine project with #AISlop from #LLMs. Their clear statement of #NoAI policy:
“No autonomous AI agent use or vibe coding. […]
No use of AI to generate substantial pieces of code. […]
No AI-generated text in human-to-human communication. […]
All PRs must be reviewed and approved by a human before merging. […]”

boostedImportant PSA: do not burn data centers! I know it's tempting, but in addition to the pollution it'd cause, don't forget that they hoard all the RAM we can't afford right now. So don't burn them, plunder them the way AI companies plunder all the content of the web.

J’en ai ras le bol des affiches et autres publicités générées par IA !
Mais parfois, on retombe sur une perle faite à la main, et là, on en arrive à se demander si finalement … (ceci est une boutade, je me doute que l’auteur a transpiré sur son œuvre, que ça doit être une fierté d’être sur une affiche, tout ça… et qu’il faut bien commencer quelque part… et que dans tous les cas, il dessine bien mieux que moi).
Considering that AI data centres are:👇
🤐 Being constructed across Canada with high secrecy and low community involvement;
Causing noise and water pollution, and strain water reservoirs and energy grids;
Contributing to eliminate significant numbers of jobs across society;
Contributing to undermining Canada's digital sovereignty, with public services and local AI infrastructure committed to foreign AI products.
This is a petition created by @GarrickWinter to ask the Canadian government to 🇨🇦✍️👇
1: Cease all incentives, subsidies, and permit accelerations for AI data centres;
2: Revoke permits and supports for AI data centre projects that have not been rigorously and transparently vetted by the local community;
3: Commission a detailed study for public release on negative externalities associated with existing AI data centres in Canada and elsewhere;
4: Require that all AI infrastructure projects be initiated and sought out by local communities, and be put through a transparent and democratic approval process; and
5: Subject AI products to genuine taxes as well as enforceable regulations around safety, transparency, and power and water use effectiveness.
Please sign it and spread the word!

I am preparing a keynote speech for a conference. On the first slide where I introduce myself and my lab, I would like to put a small image "resist AI" or "this presentation is 100% human brain juice" or something similar. Do you think that it's a good idea ? Any recommendations as to where I can find this kind of image ?

During a layoff, years ago, I helped folks update their resumés. I was appalled: the men's were like "I invented the laser" (not true) & the women's were tentative & self-effacing.
Now, for our stressed, unemployed colleagues, LLMs elevate this "average behaviour" to best practice?
Misogyny is *embedded* in the tool. It's been trained (by humans) on all the evidence of our societal dysfunctions & inequalities. #noAI

Yes, genAI is going the fuck away!
They stopped putting lead into (road vehicle) fuel! They stopped putting CFCs into sprays and refrigerators! They stopped putting asbestos into buildings! They are going to stop shoving genAI into fucking everything!

AliExpress has just started including "AI Overview" sections on product pages, then have the gall to include a disclaimer that their bullshit machine produces bullshit "and does not represent the merchants opinion." And then go on to say that they "assume no related legal liability," which doesn't mean that they aren't legally liable, because, of course, they are.
What's the point of a product description that can't be relied on? I'd prefer no description at all.
Fuck. I got a reply from 1password support regarding my question if they use AI/LLM for developing the password manager. The answer was affirmative, they use it for writing code, documentation och code reviews.
They claim that it's not AI-driven in the sense that it's replacing the humans but supporting them.
While they did not specify what models they use in the e-mail, a blog post they wrote quotes a guy talking about frontier models through cursor so I'll just assume they are using them rather than local models... fuck.
From Global News:
"A large cohort of Stanford University students walked out of their graduation ceremony on Monday during Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote address."
"'Shout out to all the graduates who walked out today. To all the graduates who chose conscience rather than comfort, we thank you,' the statement reads.
The group wrote that it walked out in protest of Google’s hand in the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, saying it would not be lured by 'talk of the dollar' and condemning what it says are 'crimes of Google in collaborating with Israel, ICE and companies like Palantir.'"

A website I frequent sends a server string of "Cloudflare (WP Engine)", so I head over to the WP Engine website to see if I can ask why they don't have #IPv6 on any of their hosts. I am immediately accosted by their AI chat bot popup causing me to reflexively close the tab. I hate this reality.
Some people think that #LLM usage costs rising will start undoing some of the harm caused by the #AI hype. I don't think that's really going to help that much.
I'm not even talking about all the projects that were ensloppified and enshittified already. I'm not talking about all the technical debt. I'm not talking about all the forks that will have to be maintained forever. I'm not talking of all the projects that were abandoned because of burnout, or because they were only hype-oriented. And I'm not talking about all the corporations that will continue submitting slop.
I'm talking about the loss of trust. After all, we're not talking of people who realized they were wrong and are sorry. We're not talking of people realizing that it was wrong to forfeit ethics and morals in the name of "productivity". We're talking of people who are jumping ships because their previous approach turned out not to be profitable anymore. We're talking of gamblers who left the casino because they went broke. They aren't sorry that they gambled; they are sorry that they've lost. And they'd be happy to do it again at the nearest opportunity.
So, I'm sorry to say, but #FreeSoftware is never going to be the same again. A lot of people have shown their true colors, and I won't forget that.

Given these days you can't even expect #Gentoo contributors to be respectable, I'm working on adding a git hook that rejects commits with #LLM attribution. Could you help me find all the common patterns used to mark LLM-assisted #git commits?
So far I'm checking for author and Co-authored-by using the following e-mail patterns:
• copilot@github.com
• *@anthropic.com
• claude@users.noreply.github.com
• *+claude[bot]@users.noreply.github.com
• *@openai.com
• *+chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]@users.noreply.github.com
• *@cursor.com
• *@x.ai
• *@google.com
I think some people came up with some other tags to mark LLM commits but can't find that right now.

boostedIf you want to hire someone with a guarantee that they will not be using any AI in their work, let me know, I'm still available (and semi-looking).
More information on the types of work I'm looking for on my profile page pinned post
I wish everybody was aware of just this one obvious fact about AI.
Who pushes AI?
Fascists, authoritarians, billionaires and the trillionaire, the fossil industry, surveillance capitalists, ...
Who warns against AI?
Activist movements: climate, privacy, human rights, education, democracy, ...
If you use AI without need (only accessibility is a good reason imo) then you're choosing to support evil.
And since accessibility is important I'll post an offer next...
Computers used to be fun. I used to use Windows 9x, and it was unstable as hell, and you kept having to lean over backwards to get things to work. Then I used bleeding edge Linux, and at some point I've ended up running pure framebuffer tty for months because X11 was broken. But despite all the breakage (or maybe even because of it), it was fun. It was fun because random accidental breakage was the worst you could expect.
Nowadays, accidental breakage is rare. Things are relatively stable. However, every step of the way you have to watch out for bad actors. No, not criminals, they are rare. Evil corporations who are looking at every opportunity to fuck you up. Using computer is no longer fun, it's no longer a tool that helps you, and it's no longer your choice. You are forced to use it, and if you don't want to be hurt every step of the way, you have to spend all the effort on fighting back. And you're fucked up anyway, because even if you manage, your family and all the people around you won't care and will let their devices, their computers and their smartphones fuck you up.
I've started using FLOSS so many years ago, for the trivial reason that I didn't want to pay for software. I stayed because I enjoyed doing it. And I wanted to make a difference, I wanted to contribute positively to the world. Even if in a little way, but I wanted to be able to say that as much harm I've done to the planet, there's at least something positive to balance it out.
But nowadays I hate FLOSS. It's been overrun by the worst people in the world. The people who aren't happy with just fucking you up. They want everyone to keep fucking everyone up. It's the kind of horror where whatever you do, it turns out you're causing harm.
I don't trust my #Gentoo #packaging work anymore. So much of the software I touch turns out to be #slop. When I file a pull request, I'm worried it will trigger #LLM reviews. When I file a bug, I'm worried it will trigger LLM responses. And today, I've learned that my old bug report to a #NoAI project resulted in a dozen slop pull requests already. Whatever you do, #AI folks smile and tell you "see, you fucked up the world even more after all".
Honestly, I don't know what to do. I hate all of this so much. But even if I managed to figure out something else to do for a living, I can't escape computers. And if I stop doing them, if I stop fighting them, I will only end up being fucked up more.
