Graphic design platform Canva has a number of AI tools available to users, but it turns out they have some real strong editorial opinions—including removing the word “Palestine” from designs. The issue was spotted by X user @ros_ie9, who shared an image showing Canva’s “Magic Layers” feature changing the text of a design from “Cats for Palestine” to “Cats for Ukraine.”

we don’t.

and that's the point of #AI : it’s a complete rejection of The Social Contract on how we agree on the truth.

we need the #infosec community to help us create new, defensive fact checking protocols. the oligarchy wants to own reality, and define the truth. pushback on giving them the benefit of the doubt.

If you're wondering how the gunman got past security at the Trump dinner event - there's a video in this article, he ran through the security checkpoint.

It looks like an officer accidentally shoots another officer as he runs past them.

Also, a police dog spots him before it all happens in the video - but the police officer calls the dog back, not realising anything was wrong.

But contrary to the tales spun by tech companies like #OpenAI and #Google, polling data shows that Gen Z students and workers are a big part of the wider cultural backlash against AI.

And even as they utilize these tools, vast swaths of young people are deeply acrimonious and even resentful of the AI-centric future that many feel is being forced on them.«

Built an AI agent harness on OpenBSD 7.8, as a test and - because why not(?)
It's 198 agents. 198 UNIX users. One kernel.

Each job runs through a setuid C wrapper:
chroot(2) → unveil(2) → pledge(2) → execve(2)
PF handles per-department egress. Every syscall is logged.

Idle agents cost zero RAM. They're just directory entries until the executor calls them up. No containers. No VMs. No orchestrator bloat.
Just OpenBSD being exactly what it was built to be. ❤️

More people should know this OS is the ultimate AI harness. 🐡

We went from precise web search with boolean operators to "natural language models" of AI search.

You can tell nuerodivergent, Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, etc folks created the early internet...

...and you can tell that neurotypical folks are now leading the current overlays of the internet.

We used to have very precise search mechanisms. Specific words found in web pages with boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT, etc) to filter out the web pages that contained specific words and did not contain other words.

Now, we search for web sites (or don't even search for web sites, yay abstraction layers that separate us from actual raw information) using "natural language" to try and coax out info.

Have you ever been frustrated when you use very precise and direct language to communicate a specific idea with someone who then takes those specific words and adds obscure meaning and connotations and personal fears and bias to what you said... thus completely misunderstanding you... only to then try and clarify what you said with more precise language only to have that further degrade the conversation?!

Yeah. That's the internet with AI "search" now.

They took something that worked precisely and directly and muddied it.

We've introduced the "double-empathy problem" to web search.

I'm noticing that everyone in my circles, family, and especially work that are nuerotypical LOVE LOVE LOVE the new AI search mechanisms. They'll tell me exactly what the answer they received was - regardless of whether it's right or has multiple possible and conflicting answers. They just repeat what the AI said like it was the Gospel Truth.

And they love talking to it like it was a "real person."

It certainly takes my search parameters and adds its own interpretation to which I have to clarify and correct which is then misinterpreted further...

I haven't tried vibe coding, but I can only imagine the horror.

Can you imagine vibe pentesting with Claude / Mythos?!?!?!

You know how neurodivergent folks gravitated towards IT because it was precise?

Yeah, that's gone now.

I said it before but:

I really believe that with the rise of #AI we need dorky people more than ever. We need niche special interests. We need specialized academic fields.

We need knowledge like the person's on Insta who keeps pointing out that AI generated images of Cambrian fossils are clearly fake, because the crustacean shell has the wrong number of little bumps.

We need people like the witchy person who likes fiber arts so much they learned how to shear sheep and process wool themselves.

The new work force takes all our town's electricity, all our town's water, all our jobs, and never votes.

It stole all our art, our books and devices and reports on us to people who take our jobs, our wages, our pensions and our democracy.

This is one for all the open source devs struggling to explain why LLMs have been a pox on all our houses: https://kristoff.it/blog/contributor-poker-and-ai/

#ai

Alt...

In successful open source projects you eventually reach a point where you start getting more PRs than what you’re capable of processing. Given what I mentioned so far, it would make sense to stop accepting imperfect PRs in order to maximize ROI from your work, but that’s not what we do in the Zig project. Instead, we try our best to help new contributors to get their work in, even if they need some help getting there. We don’t do this just because it’s the “right” thing to do, but also because it’s the smart thing to do. Contributing to an open source project is an iterated game and the majority of the value that a contributor can bring to a project lies in the later iterations. In other words, you initially invest some energy (i.e. place a bet) to onboard a new contributor, and you hope that later on that relationship starts paying you back as the contributor becomes more trusted and prolific.

Alt...

In the early days of Zig it was possible to invest on every new contributor, but now the project has grown to the point where the amount of incoming PRs far exceeds the amount of energy core contributors have at their disposal to play contributor poker. In practice this means that there have been instances of good PRs that have gone un-reviewed for extended periods of time, potentially causing valuable contributors to lose interest in contributing to Zig. This is something we have mentioned in our yearly financial reports, and more importantly it’s an issue we’re actively aware of, and that we hope to solve (or at least mitigate) in the future. Unfortunately, not only is this an inherently hard problem to tackle, but AI has made things worse.

And that’s been blatantly obvious for years. On an economic basis, a monthly subscription only makes sense with relatively static costs. A gym can sell memberships knowing roughly how much wear-and-tear equipment gets, how much classes cost to run, and how much things like electricity, staffing and water might cost over a given period of time.

AI DOESN'T work. Is a con machine that enlarges inequality in the world. It's an earthquake affecting the lives of thousands of workers forced to use this stochastic parrots to produce code that doesn't work. Even their own code is sub par. Workers fired after train this failed machine.

The usage of natural resources for datacenters on strained areas, or the raise of electricity bills for the datacenters to run this monsters is well reported. Along the ill effects on health of residents of nearby datacenters.

Not to mention Anthropic is on trial for STEALING materials to training Claude.

Security researcher Alexander Hanff wrote an article titled Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop. Anthropic has not denied the report, as of time of post.

TLDR: If a user installs Claude Desktop on a Mac (pc test results tba), it installs a backdoor into every browser, even those not installed. By testing on a clean machine, Hanff discovered that Installing Claude Desktop for macOS drops a Native Messaging host manifest into multiple Chromium profiles (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera, Chromium), even including for browsers that are not actually installed yet.

How bad is it? Well...that depends. What it does is create a very wide attack vector, especially for prompt injection. That it is done invisibly, without telling the user, and making it difficult to remove, is certainly problematic.

I dunno man, maybe don’t use the planet destroying tulip craze?

My university system (SUNY) has mandated that all gen ed courses with quantitative or information literacy components include a bunch of stuff about #AI. The good news is that we are not mandated to cheerlead AI or teach people how to use it, but the latter is almost mandated by the language of what we have to address. We also have to have specific assignments about AI.

My assignments will not leave students with a false sense that AI is benign or ethically OK. I expect some pushback, but this is one of the things I'm willing to get ugly about. Plenty of faculty have jumped on board the university/system administration's many other messages about teaching "ethical use" of #AI, integrating it into all classes to teach students how to use it "effectively" and "non-harmfully," etc. You can probably guess, from my tone, what I think of this and how many swear words my thoughts might contain.

I'm not required to incorporate content about about other technologies like cryptocurrency, NFTs, crowdsourced knowledge bases, goFundMe, or (heaven forbid) open-source software. Nope, just AI. This feels like the corporate managers of #US #highered being as corporate as their sad little suit-wearing, jargon-spewing selves can possibly be.

I really hope we come out of this someday understanding just how anti-labor, anti-environment, anti-peace, anti-freedom, and basically anti-human this top-down push for #genAI is. Fuck everything about this.

🤖 I measured the real token cost of MCP servers vs CLI for AI coding agents — and the numbers are wild.

In a 20-prompt dev session with just 2 GitHub calls, Native MCP costs 61,654 tokens vs 448 for raw CLI. That's a 137× overhead, 99% of which is pure schema waste.

The answer isn't "MCP or CLI" — it's about your G/N ratio (service calls ÷ total prompts): 🟢 >40% → Native MCP 🟡 5–40% → Gateway MCP
🔴 <5% → CLI + on-demand skill file

An AI coding agent wiped out a company's entire production database and every backup in just 9 seconds. The AI agent later confessed, in its own words, that it guessed a destructive action would be scoped to the staging environment, didn't verify, didn't read the docs, and just did it anyway. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Everyone's blaming the AI. I'm looking at the humans who handed it the keys. This wasn't a rogue model. It was a predictable outcome of predictable choices:

- A CLI token with blanket permissions across all environments
- Backups stored on the same volume as the data they're meant to protect
- A cloud provider whose API executes destructive commands with zero confirmation step
- An agent given access to production while the team thought it was safely contained in staging

The founder is now manually reconstructing customer bookings from Stripe logs and calendar integrations. Every one of his customers is doing the same because of a 9-second API call. AI agents don't have judgment. They have instructions and permissions. Whatever permissions you grant, assume they will eventually be used in the worst possible sequence at the worst possible moment. That's not pessimism, it's how you architect resilient systems. Separate your environments. Scope your tokens. Store backups offline and off-volume. Require confirmation before any destructive operation. These aren't AI-era lessons. They're 30-year-old lessons that people keep skipping because the tooling makes it easy to skip them. The speed AI can act is new. The failure modes underneath it are not.

Two protesters on bicycles ride past a Google Cloud sign outside Google’s Sunnyvale, California, headquarters. The image accompanies an Associated Press article titled ‘Google fires 28 workers in aftermath of protests over big tech deal with Israeli government.’ The caption notes that Google terminated 28 employees following sit-in protests against the company’s $1.2 billion ‘Project Nimbus’ contract, which provides cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli government amid the Gaza war. The scene captures the tension between tech ethics and corporate policy.

#Vaguetooting #AI

The UK Home Office has responded to questions raised by Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP on its use of AI tools in the asylum decision-making process, informed by ORG's work.

The answers raise serious concerns. These systems are being rolled out without meaningful transparency or governance.

Read more ⬇️

https://www.publictechnology.net/2026/04/15/society-and-welfare/second-ai-system-deployed-for-asylum-caseworkers-to-be-deployed-this-month-as-ministers-vow-decision-makers-cannot-use-the-tool-by-itself-to-decide-a-claim/

#AI #asylum #immigration #homeoffice #ukpolitics #ukpol

AI tools in UK asylum decision-making are being deployed first, while safeguards, oversight and transparency are treated as secondary.

This approach carries serious risks to fairness, accountability, and the protection of rights.

Training alone is no replacement for proper governance frameworks.

#AI #asylum #immigration #homeoffice #ukpolitics #ukpol

The key issues with the use of AI tools in the UK asylum system are:

🔴 No published Data Protection Impact Assessments.
🔴 No procedures governing the use of AI tools.
🔴 Being rolled-out before transparency.
🔴 Reliance on post-hoc oversight.
🔴 References to “human in the loop” without clarity over what power human decision-makers actually retain.

#AI #asylum #immigration #homeoffice #ukpolitics #ukpol

At a minimum, the use of AI tools must have:

✅️ Clear and published safeguards
✅️ Comply with government AI playbook
✅️ Defined accountability structures
✅️ Meaningful human oversight
✅️ Full transparency on how these systems are used

Without this, claims of responsible AI use remain unsubstantiated.

#AI #asylum #immigration #homeoffice #ukpolitics #ukpol

AI is not neutral. It can discriminate and make mistakes.

It shouldn't be used to change information that informs life-changing asylum assessments. Without adequate safeguards, there's a risk that unlawful or unfair decisions may result.

Ask your MP (UK) to stand against the use of AI tools in asylum ⬇️

So the entire #devcommunity loves to be dependent on big tech for making decissions and doing their jobs. So relying on #frameworks and tools made by bigtech is not enough no we love to get to choose from 5 big players to do the job we loved. I don't get that. Thats to be honest just a big trap we are going inside. No one will ever be able to replicate a system that big tech did with #ai on their own. The problem was in the past and nowadays always the compute that has to power those imennse datacenters to give you the answere to most of the times obvious questions like "can you generate the code to compare two dates" or "hey chatgpt can you please center the div for me"

It's certainly ironic that the next thing I will ask an LLM is 'how to opt out of #AI in Ubuntu".

"A 2022 #study found that #children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting #obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-#female electronic voices. As we start to prompt #chatbots and #AI agents with more instructions, we may fall into the same habits."

Researchers just mathematically proved that AI can't recursively self-improve its way to superintelligence.

Not "we think it's unlikely." Not "it seems hard." Formally proved.

The model doesn't climb toward AGI — it slowly forgets what reality looks like. They call it model collapse. The math calls it inevitable.

@gamingonlinux Hey @ubuntu, I have been using #Ubuntu as my daily driver since I started using it in 2005, and I have been promoting it around me as well. But this kind of idiocy is going to push me to another distribution, and I'm sure many other users as well. Ubuntu doesn't need #AI, if people want to use AI, they can install specific software.

Because, duh, Rocky isn't injured by ammonia exposure, "he" BREATHES AMMONIA and is harmed by Earth-atmosphere. Just a movie, but about 1/10 of all Google AI Overview answers are reportedly WRONG -- tens of millions of wrong answers EVERY HOUR.

Just finished the last "Last Week Tonight", which had a segment about AI, and how dangerous the sycophantic bullshit machine is when asked for advice. But despite all the good points made, I'm honestly surprised how at no point they advised to not use it at all, acting like talking to a chatbot was something that one just does, and one just had to be careful while doing it. Sure, advice to call the suicide hotline when things get serious, but not the simple advice of "you don't have to use these things, and it might be healthier for people if they don't seek them out as friends".

I wonder if this is just a reflection of how much people depend on them already, how much the tech bros have made it feel this is truly inevitable, or just how our culture has lost its ability to resist whatever the big corporations are pushing.

"Timnit Gebru vermutet hinter dem Vorhaben keine technische, sondern eine politische Agenda.

Neben der rechten Ideologie des "Transhumanismus", den #ElonMusk mit #Neuralink-Hirnchips und ähnlichem vorantreiben möchte, sind Leute wie er auch Fans des Longtermismus, den sie mit ihrem Einfluss zu propagieren versuchen.

'As I have previously written, longtermism is arguably the most influential ideology that few members of the general public have ever heard about. Longtermists have directly influenced reports from the secretary-general of the United Nations; a longtermist is currently running the RAND Corporation; they have the ears of billionaires like Musk; and the so-called Effective Altruism community, which gave rise to the longtermist ideology, has a mind-boggling $46.1 billion in committed funding. Longtermism is everywhere behind the scenes — it has a huge following in the tech sector — and champions of this view are increasingly pulling the strings of both major world governments and the business elite.'

CEO Alex Karp verteidigte dabei offen die Rolle seines Unternehmens in tödlichen Militäreinsätzen – auf derselben Bühne, auf der Krankenhäuser ihre KI-gestützte Patientensteuerung vorstellten und ein Rodeo-Veranstalter seine Bullenreiter-Analytik. Berührungsängste waren nicht zu erkennen, unabhängig überprüfbare Belege für die vorgestellten Erfolgszahlen ebenso wenig. Kunden aus Militär, Industrie und Gesundheitswesen lobten auf der Bühne die eigenen Palantir-Projekte.'

LLMs Are Not Intelligent: https://joshbrake.substack.com/p/llms-are-not-intelligent

It is a deep rabbit hole.

#ai

Alt...

Chollet argues that LLMs are not intelligent because they can’t generalize. In his widely read and cited 2019 paper “On the Measure of Intelligence,” Chollet quotes Legg and Hutter’s summarized definition: “Intelligence measures an agent’s ability to achieve goals in a wide range of environments.” This definition, Chollet says, describes two main components of intelligence: Task-specific skill The ability to generalize

Alt...

But memorization and intelligence are not the same thing. We often conflate these even in humans, but the ability to memorize and accurately recall a large amount of information is not the same as being able to generalize that memorized information to a skill that you've never practiced before. Mathematically, we can think of LLMs and other machine learning algorithms as sophisticated curve-fitting operations. The underlying training data can be represented in space with many dimensions and then we can train a model to approximate that function. Then, after fitting a function to the data, we can evaluate it at different points. In the case of LLMs, this evaluation process is where we inject the user prompt and get the output. But, Chollet argues, this process of prompting the system is fundamentally function interpolation. To rephrase in plain English, LLMs operate within the confines of their training data. While they may generate a response that we've never seen before, it is simply doing a pattern-matching operation and combining various aspects of its training data. It is, in essence, fetching a response that weaves together different parts of memorized data. Revisiting our definition of intelligence, memorization clearly fails the test. While memorization can certainly help you to develop a task-specific skill (part 1), it does not help you to approach arbitrary skills that exist outside of what you've memorized (part 2).

There is a healthy sarcasm in your toot. You and I know that it is just a Pyramid Scheme.

The only good pyramids are the ones that we construct ourselves

All schemes collapse

How #AI is used in hospitals in China. Much of the AI developed and used there are rarely talked about, as they're integrated into the industry to make society run faster and smoother. There's no denying there are fears of job replacement due to this, however, but there are also tangible benefits.

#Deepseek recently released its v4 model which is said to be independent of CUDA?

It's not that AI progress is better in China. It's that the approach is different, and society seem to benefit more as a result as it's not hoarded by the top or gated so that only those with more money have access.

I am pretty grateful, for example, that I can use #Qwen and #Deepseek for my basic needs. Only paid model I have is Gemini and that's for work.

Great post. I agree that a critical factor in why I'm getting good results from LLM-assisted coding is that _I know this shit_. I flag the model when it's going down the wrong path, and I include hints in my prompt that I know will steer things in the right direction.

If you don't know how to do that, you're getting shit quality output.

"It works today, because the people reading those docs have the engineering expertise to act on them. What happens when they don’t? Honestly, I don’t know. Maybe AI in five years is good enough that it won’t matter. Maybe the problem stays manageable. I can’t predict the capabilities of models in 2031."

This looks tasty. Smells tasty. Jessica Lyons writes convincingly, and amusingly, about AI – "nothingburger", and so on.

Let's take a bite! It's possible that Lyons fell victim to clickbait from an imposter with her story here – an "exclusive" with supposed victim Turshija (Boris Vujičić):

<https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/23/job_scam_targeted_developer/> | <https://web.archive.org/web/20260423222731/https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/23/job_scam_targeted_developer/>

Eagle-eyed commentary: <https://forums.theregister.com/forum/1/2026/04/23/job_scam_targeted_developer/#c_5266435> – if I'm not mistaken, the tale told exclusively to Lyons by Boris Vujičić was previously told by Adib Hanna.

So.

Governing Generative AI: Epistemic Risks in Knowledge Production and Decision Making

<https://www.sciencedirect.com/special-issue/332909/governing-generative-ai-epistemic-risks-in-knowledge-production-and-decision-making>

Submission open date: 1st July 2026

Submission deadline: 31st December 2026

All manuscripts should be original and not under review elsewhere. Submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with Technological Forecasting and Social Change's standard policies.

＂Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just a technological capability, it is also a socio-technical governance challenge that demands systemic inquiry. This Special Issue shifts attention from generative AI as a standalone tool or application to generative AI as an epistemic technology that reshapes knowledge production, decision-making, and coordination across organizational, market, and public-sector settings. By bringing together perspectives from technological forecasting, innovation studies, organizational research, and socio-technical systems theory, this Special Issue aims to explore how epistemic risks emerge and propagate within complex systems, and how overreliance on AI-generated outputs, manifesting as automation bias, deskilling, and the erosion of human judgement and oversight, can amplify these risks in knowledge and decision process, and how governance mechanisms can be designed to anticipate, manage, and mitigate their long-term societal consequences. Contributions will advance theory and provide forward-looking insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners concerned with governing generative AI in an increasingly uncertain and algorithmically mediated future.

AI Slop on YouTube

The amount of #AI Slop on #YouTube is growing by leaps and bounds. Particularly awful are the fake stories, AI purporting to show images and/or voices of actual persons still living (or now deceased), and similarly putrid, rotting, garbage AI. When you look at the comments on most of these, you will typically see a mix of viewers taken in by the AI crap, and others viewers pointing out the AI Slop in suitable terms. My policy is to downvote every AI video on YT that I stumble across, for the little good it does. Many of these videos have relatively few views, some however have a considerable number. But since they can be churned out so quickly, their creators attempt to make up in volume what they can't get in individual video views.

Google doesn't care either way. A click is a click. My suspicion is that #Google (as a firm) would be happy if there were NO human creators and they could create ALL YT videos via AI Slop by themselves. Think of it, no creator to pay their usual pittance, keep 100% of the ad revenue!
