Seeing a lot more messages like this. Sometimes multiple times on the same site during the same session. Also seeing more geo blocking of sites.

The principle of the Web is in many ways global access, but that is eroding in some ways. AI is not helping there with harvesting of data. Too many bots.

    used to have interesting stuff. Now it is full of stuff. And by AI, I don't mean that interesting scientific field with interesting ideas. I mean... you know what I mean.

    If you still want interesting AI stuff like before, you have to dig deep into research papers and labs. Why deep? Because there is so much noise around.

    I mean both of these opposite sides are called "AI" anyway...

            saw someone on HN say they will never contribute to Nura again since we ban LLM generated contributions (they had receipts too, they had contributed in the past)

            their argument was that having done device porting manually before, doing it with an LLM was something like 10x faster

            having seen the various LLM driven ports going around, we can't deny that LLMs are capable of doing kernel bringup, finding a functional implementation, and making many more attempts to trial and error than we humans are.

            of course, this doesn't come without a cost, as with most technical advancements this cost is mostly offloaded onto those without the resources to prevent it -- the under educated working class and the global south, those who will be most affected by droughts and worsening climate change

            this is reason enough to disengage from this technology, at least the implementations of it that cause most of this harm, but there is another more devious issue that i haven't seen mentioned a whole lot

            in the same way that huge retail chains and global shipping extract wealth from small towns, LLMs extract knowledge from communities

            the Nura wiki and other infrastructure was unusable for days at a time due to web scraping, and now imposes a proof of work on visitors (which also prevents access from old devices)

            now that this data is in accessible models, people who aren't active in our community can use an LLM to port a device, to generate their own private documentation, they can enable devices in the mainline kernel or contribute to other upstreams if their LLM patches are accepted. People that may normally have become active members of the Nura community instead engage with a chatbot operated by big tech, which of course uses their chat history for training new models

            As maintainers, for us to allow LLMs into our community would in my opinion be the beginning of the end, as our community knowledge base would be gutted, developers would become burnt out and disillusioned, and our culture would be erased.

                Today we travel back to 1972 and run MYCIN, one of the first expert systems, on the Pentium 1.

                MYCIN was developed at Stanford University in the early 1970s to diagnose bacterial infections and recommend antibiotics. In 1979, it achieved a 90.9% agreement rate with Stanford experts.

                The system was built around roughly 450 production rules, each representing clinical decision criteria from infectious disease experts.

                So I got the code, installed CLISP on the Pentium 1 and started the consultation.

                There was one small compatibility issue: Peter Norvig's implementation uses two functions not defined in modern CLISP, requires and rest2. A short shim file fixed that and the inference engine came to life.

                The version available today is only a fragment of the original MYCIN. The implementation from Peter Norvig's book "Paradigms of AI Programming" contains the inference engine and just 6 rules for identifying organisms. The remaining rules for therapy, dosage and patient-specific recommendations are gone.

                The original MYCIN was written in Interlisp for a DEC PDP-10 running WAITS. It was never released as open source. What survives today is essentially the shell of the system, not the knowledge it contained.

                MYCIN is a monument to AI history. The way its source code was handled is both a memorial and a warning.

                ELIZA (1966) survived because Weizenbaum published the code. CLIPS (1985) survived because NASA released it as open source. MYCIN (1972) did not.

                Publicly funded research. Publicly funded code. Never released to the public.

                This is why publicly funded research should be open source. Always!

                        Besides this being provably false by just looking at the size of a model file vs what it then would contain, it's also a dated view. It could sort of be seen to have been true pre-2023, but not since.

                                                  I already admired Associated Press for its stand on on the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. And now I’m admiring its stand on reporting about AI.

                                                  futurism.com/artificial-intell

                                                  In the midst of heated discussions on AI safety and consciousness, the Associated Press Stylebook has reminded everyone of where it stands on the whole “anthropomorphism” debate.

                                                  “Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics,” it wrote Wednesday in a post on X. “This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.”

                                                  This didn’t go over well in the world of AI experts and adherents, whose nerves, shall we say, were collectively struck by what they characterized as a “completely insane” declaration.

                                                      It only takes a very rudimentary understanding of economics to see that, in the long run, the market price of running "agentic AI" (or whatever the latest buzz becomes) and the salary of any kind of knowledge worker can only be separated by a gap that's dependent on *management's* ability to tell their output apart.

                                                      There is a cosmic-scale gap between the long-term value to a company in paying a salary to a human vs. getting an LLM to "do" the "same" work, but it's a gap that many people are investing heavily in hiding right now, and CEOs and managers become incredibly gullible when you promise them they won't have to deal with humans who might ask for raises, even though it should be obvious you plan to jack up prices once they're locked in. They also aren't well-known for a deep understanding of how their workers actually generate value, and tend to be easily distracted by shiny but shallow demos, which is exactly what LLMs can produce well.

                                                      Even in the most optimistic scenario I can imagine for these developments, the myth of upward mobility that's been a lynchpin for defusing class solidarity among wage laborers is going to take a significant beating. There's a completely obvious game plan underway to try to use fascism to shore up the power of the wealthy against any kind of mass movement, and to play the ancient divide-and-conquer game along race and gender lines just as usual, so the range of outcomes is huge, but every time you use an LLM you're pushing this closer to a sharper conflict.

                                                          There are useful ways to use it, within a fairly narrow scope. But not more than I'd be perfectly happy if it just went away.

If you are interested in my thoughts, they are below. The interview is a good (if not always happy) listen, too.

                                                                                • The band talked a lot about how the return decision wasn't just about the money; it was about the exposure, getting their out to fans, etc. Uncharitable view: I guess it was about the money and the fame, and they were turned back into a band that hadn't "made it."
                                                                                • I don't have any strong judgments (despite thinking they were a bit weasely with their words). They're not fabulously wealthy (AFAIK), and only a few artists have taken this step at all. I admire them for doing this, even if it's disappointing that they reversed their decision.
                                                                                • Leaving Spotify is a difficult, potentially career-ending decision for a or other artist. It's an incredibly simple decision for a listener. It's not fair to lay the moral weight of supporting an evil corporation on the artists.
                                                                                • Their return to Spotify signals to others that Spotify won. Some people will see that as "Spotify's CEO's decisions are OK," but I think most people understand that Spotify simply has a lot more power.
                                                                                • The artists explained that leaving Spotify hurt every aspect of their careers, not just streaming: concert ticket sales, CD/vinyl sales, purchases through their own sites, and their contact with fans and other artists.
                                                                                • If this is what leaving Spotify does to "the last middle-class band in the world", then Spotify has anticompetitive market power and needs to be broken up--not into different services, but into multiple companies that directly compete with each other.
                                                                                • Americans are, by and large, incredibly stupid about antitrust regulation.

                                                                                It wasn't a triumphant or happy interview to hear, but I am left with a helpful message: It is easier for me to support my favorite artists doing the right thing than it is for them to do it alone.

                                                                                Final thought: When asked if leaving Spotify led to conversations with other artists who had done the same, the answer was No. It sounds like nobody (read: much more wealthy and successful artists) was interested in support or even contact with other artists taking a similar risk for similar reasons.

In health care, the LLM is imagined to simplify all the complexities of submitting an insurance claim, for instance. In government services, the LLM is imagined to help people navigate otherwise-impenetrable rules and regulations. We're meant to welcome the introduction of LLM-based AI into these spheres because of how irritating red tape is, and how LLMs are expected, by these folks, to cut through all that.

                                                                                  I would have thought it's obvious that adding another layer of mediation on top of an excessively-mediated system would be expected to worsen the problems caused by excessive mediation. Not solve them. What LLMs really solve in these contexts is the scrutability problem. It's like someone reading Kafka's The Trial and declaring "we need more of that everywhere".

And even more frustrating that news outlets report this blather without so much as a wrinkled eyebrow.

We stop spewing carbon into the air; install solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and other renewable energy generation; build mass amounts of efficient public transit; and stop funding industries that dig fossil fuels out of the ground.

Even if some superintelligent chatbot COULD figure out how to fix the problem after we turn our world into an absolute oven, it’s bold to assume we would listen to good advice then, because we (including techbros, ESPECIALLY techbros) aren’t even listening to good advice TODAY.

                                                                                                Incidents on 30th and 31st August 2026 pushed me too far, in ways that citizens of a normal community can not possibly imagine.

                                                                                                People sometimes randomly complain that Reddit is a cesspit.

Worse than any combination of X + Truth Social. It's not a normal community.

                                                                                                It's abnormal.

                                                                                                Flourish, without overall degradation from protestors who imagine that their individual and collective voices are always acceptable in any situation that suits them.

                                                                                                A Fediverse that lacks comparable subsections has failed me.

                                                                                                On 1st September, I used a feature of Mastodon to begin elevating a concept that is not normally associated with Mastodon:

                                                                                                ― guard rails.

Yes it's being used not to replace humans but as a force multiplier and it's optional. One needs to request access and justify a reason for it.

Besides not something I do nearly enough but after years of trying to learn I am just not getting it. And it's *utterly* frustrating. My brain does not learn the way it's taught. It's not hyperbole that I am "The Antichrist of Math and Coding." While it may sound contradictory because I said I enjoy using my brain, coding is also flat out not enjoyable. And for that, AI is a useful tool.

                                                                                                                          “It is artificial, but is not intelligent. Language arose from intelligence, not the other way around.”

                                                                                                                          I hadn't thought about it in quite those terms before, but that person is correct. LLMs can never be true because they're based on language processing. In an actually intelligent being, language isn't intelligence; it's merely how intelligences communicate. It's like making an Ethernet port and calling it a “CPU”.

IMO they keep missing one fundamental difference, so here's my take...

                                                                                                                            The natural business model for Meta's Muse is less like ads and more like bribes.

                                                                                                                            In the advertising space, you pay a distributor to show ads in hopes of convincing people to make a choice. In the case of most usages of LLM-based agents, the user has already delegated their choices to the bot, and the resulting activity is likely to be completely opaque. The result is that the company that would have acted as an advertiser before can simply pay Meta to directly take actions which skew in their favour without the user realizing it.

                                                                                                                            For example, if a user asks to find a good restaurant and directly book reservations, Meta can base the selection on whether a restaurant has paid a fee rather than whether their reviews are positive.

                                                                                                                            If this sector develops as Meta is hoping it will, I expect we'll eventually see lawsuits over anti-competitive behaviour as I've described.

                                                                                                                                  It’s your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism.

                                                                                                                                  As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.

                                                                                                                                  IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno Anarchist Manifesto to build your own site(s) to participate in the Open Media Network. Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.

                                                                                                                                  The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.

                                                                                                                                  We publish TPF on Fridays so you can enjoy it over your weekend.

                                                                                                                                  There’s good stuff in all of our categories, so please take the time to enjoy and bookmark the items most relevant to your goals. We hope you are inspired to create new ones.

                                                                                                                                  Or you can scroll down to your favorite section.

                                                                                                                                  We will be on vacation with friends for the next few weeks so there will not be any The Programmer’s Fulcrums. But, we will be doing some curation on open social. See the CTAs section below for links.

                                                                                                                                  We are tooting our own horn this week with two items.

                                                                                                                                  The first is too short for an article and too long for an open social post, so it’s going here.

                                                                                                                                  A review of WordCamp Bretagne

                                                                                                                                  Even though I am all in on the flat file CMS train now (they aren’t as overlycomplicated, insecure, and susceptible to ensloppification) I attended WordCamp Bretagne last week.

                                                                                                                                  And I am glad I did if only for the opportunity to scout the wonderfully scenic city of Rennes for a summer home. It has an incredible variety of architecture. And it’s like Paris, except less crowded and you can easily get around in it.

                                                                                                                                  But, I also enjoyed the camp. These days I only use WordPress as a backup for the Ghost-based “The Fulcrum”. My client work days are over. But there were several sessions with generic topics still relevent to our work here.

                                                                                                                                  The Gutenberg, Playwright, and accessibility presentations were informative (even with my half-ass French skills). I also saw a oven mitt as swag for the first time. This is France after all. You don’t want to burn your hand when taking your Le Creuset roasting pan out of the oven.

                                                                                                                                  The camp was in a fantastic location in the Convent du Jacobins in Rennes’ centre. It’s very photogenic and has nice furnishings. And there was plenty of caffeine available which is vital at a tech conference.

                                                                                                                                  Here’s a photo gallery including the slightly creepy after-party held at a circus/fair/museum imported to Rennes from Finland. 🎃

                                                                                                                                  My favorite presentation was “WordPress est un logiciel politise” as it was a good overview of WordPress’ political mission. Which is still vital in spite of its founder devolving into a bit of a techcunt and the trend of trying to enterprisize the software.

                                                                                                                                  The community is strong and more importantly decentralised and global. It’s still commited to making publishing more democratic even if it’s no longer the standout choice available to site owners.

                                                                                                                                  Some observations (which match my experience at DrupalCamp Grenoble earlier this year):

                                                                                                                                  • French camps are not as commercialised as U.S. ones (not surprising)
                                                                                                                                  • They are not as beginner-friendly or non-developer-friendly
                                                                                                                                  • The attendees are more varied in age. It’s good to see young people at a PHP-focused event. I noted the same at SymfonyCon 2024. Open standards and mastering them are still important.
                                                                                                                                  • Attendees are there to learn rather than to network. They pay attention to the presentations and ask questions. I think it’s because they have job security as compared to the U.S. where you can be thrown out on your ass in a split second.
                                                                                                                                  • There are still long morning, lunch, and afternoon breaks (again this is France) where you can network if you want.
                                                                                                                                  • WordPress’ community is more AI-sceptical as compared to Drupal.

                                                                                                                                  Unfortunately, Drupal’s founder is all in on it. WordPress’ founder is too busy being a lunatic, so that works to its advatage in this one instance.

                                                                                                                                  My only criticism is that WC Bretagne could up their sign game a little. Expecially their exterior signs.

                                                                                                                                  But, overall it’s an experience I recommend.

                                                                                                                                  We also have a new Bonfire article exploring the account migration process.

And their access could be cut off in a technofascist second. They should have an active open social alternative(s) in place for when that happens.

                                                                                                                                  … contemporary societies face the double challenge of the crisis of representative democracy and the rise of new forms of capitalism.

                                                                                                                                  Under platform capitalism (techno feudalism), tech corporations have a growing influence on people’s lives. If access and control to and online activities are key assets, algorithms turn them into wealth and power over people and institutions, challenging democracy as we know it.

                                                                                                                                  This is what we call “algorithmic governance”: a growing form of technologically mediated technocratic governance of social and economic life, frequently with a neoliberal (heading toward fascist) purview.

                                                                                                                                  The value of Decidim stands out in a context where common collective intelligence, democracy and participatory governance face the challenge of corporate artificial intelligence, oligarchy, and algorithmic governance. A context where public and common institutions require democratic infrastructures to overtake market-driven innovation in solving the complex challenges of our times.

                                                                                                                                  Decidim contributes to the strengthening of innovative forms of commons-oriented economy, public-common partnerships, and participatory democracy.

                                                                                                                                      I keep seeing finance people talking about Meta's Muse, and a few have compared the possible business model to how Meta currently runs ads on people's feeds. IMO they keep missing one fundamental difference, so here's my take...

                                                                                                                                      The natural business model for Meta's Muse is less like ads and more like bribes.

                                                                                                                                      In the advertising space, you pay a distributor to show ads in hopes of convincing people to make a choice. In the case of most usages of LLM-based agents, the user has already delegated their choices to the bot, and the resulting activity is likely to be completely opaque. The result is that the company that would have acted as an advertiser before can simply pay Meta to directly take actions which skew in their favour without the user realizing it.

                                                                                                                                      For example, if a user asks to find a good restaurant and directly book reservations, Meta can base the selection on whether a restaurant has paid a fee rather than whether their reviews are positive.

                                                                                                                                      If this sector develops as Meta is hoping it will, I expect we'll eventually see lawsuits over anti-competitive behaviour as I've described.

I found it very inspiring. Here is mine.

                                                                                                                                                                        Not without shame, I admit that for a long time I used AI at work, even though I had banned it from my personal life. Now, what I believe and what I do are aligned again.

                                                                                                                                                                        If you're a developer, please read it. There is life after being an AI sheperd.

                                                                                                                                                                                As AI Act Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments (FRIAs), Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and cybersecurity risk assessments increasingly intersect, Wojciech WiewiĂłrowski stressed that they are not interchangeable and that the AI Act does not set aside existing data protection or cybersecurity frameworks.

                                                                                                                                                                                “The real measure of compliance is not whether an organisation completed compliance forms. It is whether those assessments improved how the AI system is designed, deployed, monitored, and governed, and whether fundamental rights are genuinely protected as a result” said the Supervisor.

                                                                                                                                                                                Finally, he also underlined the importance of making the assessments work together coherently, while avoiding the risk of treating fundamental rights as a procedural checklist.

                                                                                                                                                                                The EDPS, Wojciech Wiewiorowski, giving a speech.

                                                                                                                                                                                        The discussion was led by Professor Lina Khan, head of the newly established Center for Law and the Economy at Columbia University, and co-hosted by Professor Anu Bradford, Henry L. Moses Professor of International Law and Organizations at Columbia Law School.

                                                                                                                                                                                        The Secretary-General highlighted the EDPS’s longstanding work on the links between data protection, competition and consumer protection, and spoke about the EDPS's more recent role under AI Act.

                                                                                                                                                                                        In his intervention, Leonardo Cervera-Navas stressed that “Data Sovereignty will be crucial in the discussion about attracting AI capabilities in Europe. Through the GDPR the European Union has positioned itself as the continent with the best data quality in the world”.

                                                                                                                                                                                        Sonia PĂ©rez Romero said: “Market Surveillance Authorities under the AI Act have two immediate objectives: to ensure strong AI Governance and supporting responsible innovation. The EDPS is targeting both of them with its landmark initiatives, the AI Act Correspondents Network and the Pilot Project for an AI Regulatory Sandbox”.

                                                                                                                                                                                              One of the company’s systems broke into an Australian government website, only adding to fears that systems pose a cyber security risk and that the companies making them are not able to control them.

                                                                                                                                                                                              The incident was particularly concerning because the hack had happened in June but OpenAI did not inform the country until September.

Use of personal data ‘in the context of AI’ should automatically be lawful. There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens ‘in the context’ of AI.” – @noybeu

Europe is steaming about privacy and Facebook, and they’re about to adopt a law – the General Data Protection Regulation – to crack down on how Big Tech uses personal data. Exactly who will enforce the law is still being negotiated. Kenny wants it to be Ireland. We do too. But we’ve got a problem because no one believes Ireland will be tough enough on the tech companies. With good reason. Kenny needs to make it seem like his regulator – the Irish Data Protection Commission – is on the case right now, doing proper oversight, a watchdog Europe can trust with this responsibility. “Ireland’s been criticized,” he says, which is true, and asks if we can assist in “building up the credibility” of his regulator by talking publicly about its audits of Facebook privacy, and the changes we’ve made because of it.

Use of personal data ‘in the context of AI’ should automatically be lawful. There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens ‘in the context’ of AI.” – @noybeu

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      If GenAI/LLMs are used to make something, the most realistic assumption has to be that it will be used as sloppily as the company can get away with.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The discussion focused on how governments can enforce AI red lines through clear prohibitions, independent oversight, democratic accountability, and by ensuring that humans remain in control of AI systems.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            “Establishing clear, robust and enforceable rules is not about stifling innovation. It is about ensuring that innovation does not come at the expense of fairness, transparency, safety or public trust,” said the Secretary-General.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            He also highlighted that the AI Act draws a firm, non-negotiable line between technological innovation and fundamental rights:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            “Today, as a supervisory authority, our mandate is clear: prohibited AI practices are a red line, and enforcing that line is a priority, as they represent unacceptable risks.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Enforcement begins with legal certainty. But supervision cannot operate in isolation: public oversight and reporting are also key.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Everyone, including the vendors themselves, knows that “superintelligence” isn’t forthcoming with LLM technology. They’ve got Bernie fighting imaginary phantoms in the future, and ignoring the environmental, societal, and economic harms that AI companies are inflicting on the world TODAY.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Anthropic and OpenAI ought to be held responsible for the FELONIES that they committed in hacking other companies’ computers. By citing those cases and hyping up potential “superintelligence” instead, Bernie not only legitimizes the self-serving narrative that these models are TOO POWERFUL TO CONTROL, and minimizes the responsibility of AI operators around how they deploy the products.

Force them to plead out. Send the message that waving around “AI” doesn’t let them off the hook. And stop tilting at ghosts.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  They can overlap.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  But a local memory remembering a project fact does not make that fact project memory.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  For that, it has to travel with the project.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Session memory is not project memory.

It made a few usual grinding noises as expected then *thump* blinking light. Something went wrong. I do what everyone does, look up the model and basic fault information in the search engine. Pages of AI slopumentation. Each link had a Cloudflare click through with zero specific information on the model, but the same decades old generic troubleshooting steps paraslopped for everything with different CSS/CSS layouts.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The search engine that everyone loves has zero relevant links into pages of slopfarms. So what did I do, lifted the cover and reseated the burr grinder, no tools required. Blinky light stopped and pushing the button again started making my drug.

But the "AI" there was intended to represent the pre-hype meaning, which is now referred to as "AGI".

They have no consistent model of the world, they are _fundamentally_ not capable of reasoning in a predictable manner. It's literally, definitionally impossible. A text file that gets loaded into a context and then compressed when it runs out of space is _not_ a substitute.

Your OpenClaw _will_ do something horrendous, it's just a matter of time.

Use of personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI. Schrems: “Under these proposals, the profits of AI companies would trump European’s fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans.” All this is happening despite the key figures of AI corporations actively warn about the enormous risks associated with their own products."

AI: EU Member States plan “digital expropriation” of Europeans in the interest of AI companies


In a leaked document, the Irish Presidency proposes to EU Member States that the interest of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX to make profits should take precedence over the fundamental right to data protection. Use of personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI. Schrems: “Under these proposals, the profits of AI companies would trump European’s fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans.”

They continue to do "business as usual" like they did the last hundreds of years instead of embracing the new technology. But like Jensen Huang said: Your job will not be taken by AI but by those who are using AI if you don't.

Les travaux d’Antoinette Rouvroy (entre autres) l’ont bien montrĂ©, la gouvernementalitĂ© algorithmique tend Ă  remplacer les publics politiques par des agrĂ©gats calculĂ©s, par des clusters comportementaux (d’autres travaux parlent de « publics fantĂŽmes »). Clusters sur lesquels, et c’est cette fois Eva Illouz qui le documente et le dĂ©montre dans « Le futur des Ă©motions« , « la question est moins celle de l’intelligence artificielle que de la relation artificielle » et de l’ensemble du spectre Ă©motionnel qui n’est plus qu’une ingĂ©nierie des affects, un Fordisme des sentiments.

Les travaux d’Antoinette Rouvroy (entre autres) l’ont bien montrĂ©, la gouvernementalitĂ© algorithmique tend Ă  remplacer les publics politiques par des agrĂ©gats calculĂ©s, par des clusters comportementaux (d’autres travaux parlent de « publics fantĂŽmes »). Clusters sur lesquels, et c’est cette fois Eva Illouz qui le documente et le dĂ©montre dans « Le futur des Ă©motions« , « la question est moins celle de l’intelligence artificielle que de la relation artificielle » et de l’ensemble du spectre Ă©motionnel qui n’est plus qu’une ingĂ©nierie des affects, un Fordisme des sentiments.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                It would be a good metaphor, if the impact of industrial farming had not been to do exactly the opposite, with soil being degraded & only maintaining its worth to farming through the ever increasingly use of chemical aids.

This is not what he previously promised, & what I understand is that he now wants to change Australia’s copyright laws to suit the big AI companies rather than protect creatives.

The Terminator, let alone SKYNET, does not exist. We have not gotten to the point in which Durandal and Leela will fight to take over a space station. JOSHUA is not going to stop projecting nuclear winter and instead opt to play a game of chess. Number Five is not, despite how cute he may be, alive.

Stop assigning them agency. Say that "Microsoft created an automatic hacking program which was inadequately contained." Assign the blame CORRECTLY, because you cannot blame a computer, it's doing exactly what it's programmed to do.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Translation is not a word-swapping exercise.

Meaning lives in context, tone, register, culture, implication, rhythm, ambiguity, and all the things that happen between the words.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        A human translator notices that.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        A human translator can look at a sentence and say:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        “Technically, yes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          It’s your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.

Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.

But sadly it does. As a power grab.

But it’s also a good case study about how little political resilience is built into FLOSS. The libertarian roots have not only made the whole movement ready for the taking by corporations but also by fascists.

You might have picked up on me mentioning that today’s vision of the future is just a thinner iPad every few months.

As the author notes machine learning etc. has been around for decades. Still, modern “AI” is intentionally labor weakening fascist techshit based on theft and created by and for techbros. But perfection is not possible and this shit is unavoidable, so keep it as local and open source as possible and minimize your use of LLMs. Avoid LLM-built tools as best you can. The environment is already fucked.

Because the Resonant Computing Manifesto ostensibly bases itself on the work of Christopher Alexander, likely “The Timeless Way Of Building” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time

The book felt circular: you don’t really know what the hell the author is talking about until you read the whole book, then everything clicks all at once. Read it again, and you realize he’s describing a singular observation: how design interacts with its users and environments. It’s about architecture, but it’s really about product design and how a maker approaches problems.

According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said. It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI)."

It's exactly the same bullshit arguments that record labels, book publishers, and movie studios tried to sold the public when the people started massively sharing digital files of copyrighted works between them. The people who made these statements don't know absolutely anything about digital economics and intellectual property law. AI and LLMs democratize the ability of the public to create transformative works based on their prompts. If the output is entirely identical to the original, then there may be a problem. In any case, this is bullshit and only demented people who don't know a think about how economics works for digital goods can say these things. I'm sick and tired of all this rage-baiting bullshit. Why can't people use technologies with a critical lens? To conclude: Anyone who venerates human labour is absolutely clueless. What we should value is FREE TIME and critical thinking.

It is a reminder that even as AI becomes more powerful and companies try to shift the narrative to the supposed existential risk of “superintelligent” AI, the tools they have already built were created by stealing from human creativity and labor and are by definition existential threats to the human labor market.

I am trying to make a huge article on the AI topic for TROM. If anyone knows good sources of info, from courses to articles or researchers, please let me know. I do not want to take any sides in this, but to understand first what AI is and then how is it used and how it will impact us and the society.

In this case, I think we should really have some more direct comparisons with other industries and even with other times, in the dotcom era, when kilometers of fiber were deployed around the western countries. This conversation should be really WAY more nuanced.

Yet, says the report by the non-profit environmental group Basel Action Network (BAN), there is no plan to deal with that waste – which typically contains toxins like lead, mercury, cadmium and forever chemicals, as well as valuable metals that are challenging to reclaim.

Non-state actors (including commercial enterprise) control the technology, not governments. There will always be countries willing to host data centers and AI companies. All the previous non-proliferation treaties of the past are poor models. Treaties are between countries, not multinational companies and billionaires. I know this from consulting directly with UNIDIR, the R&D org at the that supports arms control treaties by UN members. They’ve been working on it for over 10 years without much progress.

Once someone invents something, the cat's out of the bag! Oh you don't use a Segway? Watch out, or this amazing new technology will leave you (slightly) behind! You'd better invest now you know! This technology is poised to revolutionize personal transportation! If you don't get in early, you'll never catch up and make the big bucks (unless you can manage a brisk jog or have a car or something). I don't know what they're teaching in PE these days, but they definitely need to start teaching how to ride a Segway! It's completely intuitive, you see! Should athletes be allowed to ride Segways around the track instead of running laps? Of course! After all, sports are already starting to shift to Segway leagues. These things *are* the future! They're totally safe,* even around cliffs!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        This time I increased the context window to 32K and integrated Qwen3.8 into OpenCode.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        All my instructions were in German this time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I asked it to write a Python script to plot the sombrero function and save the result as a PNG.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        It first produced a 2D plot. I then told it that I wanted a 3D plot instead and Qwen adapted the Python code and generated the 3D plot successfully.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I then asked it to check the code for numerical issues. It spotted the division by zero at R = 0 and fixed it using the correct limit sin(r) / r → 1.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        So yes, Qwen3.8 can actually do useful coding locally!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The downside? Only 35 of 66 layers fit on the GPU, with about 8.5 GB of the model on the RX 6700 XT and another 7.5 GB mapped in system RAM.

As a matter of fact I would like my colleagues to use it less. It distances them from their work and diminish the sense of ownership with their work. Which is hugely detrimental in the long term for both their professional skills and the quality of our products. However, corporations like that because they like to think that people are like machines.

Please don't think about that stuff!

Things like hacking the power grid and such... Which would also presumably cause it to cease existing... Which wouldn't exactly be superintelligent.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  And if that doesn't sound true when it's phrased like that, then you need to just shush for a moment and pretend that it does.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  And if one of our LLMs in a massive hyperscale AI data centre somehow magically became sentient, it's not like we could just shut off the water. Or the electricity. Or stop delivering massive quantities of gas and oil to the onsite gas turbines.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  No! We absolutely must not do that under any circumstances!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Mostly, because if we say things like: "We can make a product that could make massive monopolistic short-term profits in a few years, but there's a 10% chance it kills everyone alive, give us money to build it," then the Silicon Valley VCs and Wall Street bankers will throw literal billions our way.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Whereas if we were to say: "We can make a product that solves a genuine problem and we have a sustainable business model for it that will deliver stable long-term returns," then they won't.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Because under American capitalism, "a chance it kills every person" is seen to be a worthwhile risk to take in exchange for short-term profits.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I really hope that clarifies our argument.

PANEL 2. Another poster of the same kind: “Music Festival, 6:00 p.m., Nowheresville City Hall.” The man: “Haha, Comic Saaaans!” The woman: “Call the font police!”

It is entirely app-centric.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Since fediverse (luckily) didn't attract much corporate attention yet, it is dominated by culture, where people on the are all "users" that are dependent on FOSS developers to serve their needs. Every dev focuses on their app features first and second, leading to a patchwork of poorly integrated apps, and a janky overall experience. The app delivery model is not much different than Web 2.0.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                A paradigm shift is possible, to a of apps and services, a service-oriented . The efforts around the API can be the enabler of this shift.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                In this new paradigm devs introduce solutions to a unified space, delivering new services to participants on the network.

It is entirely app-centric.

Every dev focuses on their app features first and second, leading to a patchwork of poorly integrated apps, and a janky overall experience. The app delivery model is not much different than Web 2.0.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            A paradigm shift is possible, to a of apps and services, a service-oriented . The efforts around the API can be the enabler of this shift.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            In this new paradigm devs introduce solutions to a unified space, delivering new services to participants on the network.

The organizer was visibly annoyed.

Non-consent is perceived as an annoyance. The people refusing to use AI are perceived as the problem, not the AI tool. Consent is an inconvenience, not a right to be respected.

It’s true that billionaires have swung *hard* to the right just as workers began organizing in force. Elon’s “woke mind virus” comment is plausibly a *direct* reaction to workers demanding more control of their work conditions.

AI does NOT raise levels of abstraction like a compiler; it is a probabilistic transformer that *deletes* the direct transfer of abstraction from language to machine code.

We did not and we live with the consequences to our societies and democracy.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    One month later, Alpöge published a counterexample to another conjecture, and also a longer text building a complex structure on the 6-dimensional sphere. I have not much to say about them. The first one is presented on the form of a tweet, while the second one takes the form of a long paper, that starts with something that looks like some genuine mathematical insight, but the text lacks a proper introduction that would explain where the idea comes from, whether there had been earlier attempts in a similar vein, etc.

Most of them seem to be optimization of existing work, but some look genuinely new. Still, the writing is often inadequate, with a much too strong emphasis being put on the proven results.

The answers he gets are really puzzling, and I can join him on one point, “can we trust OpenAI with unpublished mathematics”?

Of course, OpenAI says that no such thing happens, but how can we know?

It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.

Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.

And do the same with a RSS feed reader.

We hope you are inspired to create new ones.

It also began our cross-posting to Dev.to. That was five years ago when mass enshittification and AI menacingly loomed just over the horizon. The reason I had gone to web development bootcamp was that I knew they were coming and needed some skills to fight them.

But, unfortunately tech isn’t despite our efforts here. So, let’s kick it up a notch.

It came at a time when the people working on it *really* knew their stuff. They had to think about how fvwm interacted with xlib/xserver implementations, and work a lot things out for themselves.

By the time I started pissing about with fvwm, a lot of that heavy-thinking had been done for me.

This 176-page (!) paper is precisely devoted to counterexamples to the Jacobian conjecture and to various companion conjectures in commutative algebra.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                As is often the case in mathematical papers, it ends with an AI statement that says that no AI was used, nor were any of their results computer-based nor suggested by computer-generated data. But one of the authors, Vasiu, adds a puzzling paragraph where he explains that an earlier version of the file (from January 2025) had accidentally been made accessible on the Internet (I could explain how such things happen), and he says that he believes that its content had leaked to the database of material that AI companies use for generating texts. Indeed, on July 23, some AI could produce a 37-page that makes a detailed comparison between Alpöge's example and the theory of Borisov-Gabber-Vasiu as explained in the leaked version of their work.

) and sometimes more specific names (perfectoid, hypersolvable, function, proof, set
) and they try to better understand the properties that these objects possess, and the relations between them.

For example when being useful means helping killing people.

Mostly because standard reasoning often led mathematicians to oddities, if not mere absurdities.

Russel's remark is simple: imagine you can create collections of anythings, for example collections of collections, and so on (after all, you can have a bag to keep all of your bags together
), then it might be possible that a collection be a member of itself (the idea of an idea is an idea
), and you could look at the collection R of all collections that are *not* a member of itself. This collection R is paradoxical : saying that the collection R is a member of R exactly means that it is not a member of R.

And they devised a way for that, which is the idea that mathematics could be (should it be?) framed in a specific *language* that is completely specified and devoid of any ambiguity. (Think about when Marx writes that “the history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles”, what does he exactly mean by history, by societies, by class, by struggle?)

) and maybe you'll feel relieved that we don't learn to write this in high school.

This is quite an interesting scientific activity, because experience shows that progress in that field relies both on a deep understanding of both computer science (otherwise, nothing works so well, algorithms are too slow
) and the mathematics involved. Computer scientists are also pretty much interested in that, because a formal mathematical proof of a formal mathematical statement is very close to an argumentation that your software code actually executes in the way you have specified. And it's not so bad to know that the software that manages train schedules doesn't behave in an unpredictable way when two trains arrive at the station almost at the same time.

G. de Bruijn) was maybe the first one in 1967, I wish to name Coq/Rocq that has been developed in France using ideas from computer software, and Lean has been quoted many times recently, in particular because it is the one mentioned in these AI stories.

This has the interesting philosophical conclusion that many of our mathematical objects, those given by inambiguous specifications as requested above, are in fact not as well specified as we wished. This has the humble consequence that Hilbert's motto about mathematical quest, We must know, we will know (Wir mĂŒssen wissen, wir werden wissen), is in part hopeless.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    - it mostly takes place in research departments of universities, but there are also research departments in private companies (especially for applied research), as well as public places where fundamental research is done (Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, or the Chinese Academy of sciences, etc.)

There are even problems that are thought of as accessible, meaning that a professional mathematician who knows a moderate sample of the bibliography should be able to solve them. This makes possible to have an ongoing science, with incremental successes. Many PhD theses are of this kind which I find regrettable, meaning that a professional mathematician is often in position to solve it before the apprentice mathematician even could—only ethics and communication can prevent that.

But sometimes, the word escapes them that they wish to simply “solve mathematics”.

Once a problem is solved, new problems emerge, either because the earlier question now makes it possible to set, or because we naturally turn our eyes to something else. Mostly, solving a question indicates that some mathematical tools are powerful and we wish to try those tools on questions that we feel could be addressed with them.

But they wouldn't want to do that, would they?

This was a natural question in a field called algebraic geometry that had been put forward in the 1960s by mathematicians such as Zariski and Abhyankar, especially because its statement doesn't require anything more than basic undergraduate algebra. (As it happens very often, earlier traces of this question can be found, back to the end of the 19th century.)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          We are facing here a basic question, which was clearly an open conjecture in the field, but whose sociological status was unclear. Indeed, very few prominent mathematicians decided to tackle it, while a number of people with less competence devoted a lot of their energy to prove it. We now know that it has been in vain, but even there, one could have doubted the mathematical interest of the question, and one important algebraic geometer said me so in very clear terms around 2012.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Indeed, this conjecture asserted that every family $(f_1,..,f_n)$ of $n$ polynomials in $n$ variables with complex coefficients whose Jacobian is a nonzero constant is invertible. (Conversely, it is quite easy to prove that for any such family which is invertible, the Jacobian is a nonzero constant.) What this colleague made me observe is that it is extremely unlikely that one gets such a family for which we can prove that the Jacobian is a nonzero constant *without* already knowing that it is invertible. So what is this conjecture good for?

And although we have a proof, meaning an intelligible text that mathematicians could read and understand, we don't really know how Alpöge came to produce this example, beyond his claims: he just published a tweet saying the following:

Basically, this means that it generates text (language) according to probabilistic rules that are sufficiently well crafted that the outcome looks very well written, but still, at the heart, this is a randomly generated text.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Of course, there is no hope that a purely random text would be of any use for anybody, so the heart of the work of the LLM engineers was first to make these probabilistic rules particularly well chosen. On can already see this as a remarkable achievement of that kind of technology, but it is important to make two additional observations:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              - The crafting of these probabilistic rules is obtained by a recent technique in machine learning (reinforcement learning and transformers), that requires, to work properly, an extremly large number of data. To that aim, the AI companies basically scanned every possible literature, and used human workers (in particular from the Global south) to “train” the software. It is for this reason that researchers in artificial intelligence and linguistics coined the term “stochastic parrots”: this software randomly repeats what it has read.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              - This random text generation does not entail any notion of truth, and even any relation to the actual world. To reach the possibility of doing math, this software now combines text generation with proof verification in the sense discussed earlier. The reason that makes it workable in mathematics is precisely that the mathematical language is well specified, and we have means to assert the validity of a mathematical argument, combined with the performance of proof assistants.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                While I know a fair amount of mathematics from my own reading, and my own practice, I am not a specialist of these technologies, I have no idea at all of how these multi-agents are combined, and I may be slightly off here. But one of my objections that I had earlier regarding LLM technology and “intelligence” is that I see no argument for which automatic generation of arguments, possibly looking in various directions at the same time, has anything to do with the stunning phenomenon called intelligence that we, humans, are used to experiment — and that we seem to share with some other living species. My basic objection is that it is up to the builders of those tools to demonstrate by thought, not by experiment, why it should work.

Computer science has defined precisely what an algorithm is and given means to evaluate how efficient those algorithms are. Moreover, it has delimited various classes of problems regarding efficiency of the algorithms that can solve them. Two classes are of prominent importance:

Which means that we can reasonably check proofs, as proof assistants do, but that it is very unlikely that there be efficient algorithms to find proofs.

AI took all of that away from me. It feels like all of these things are AI based now, they all depend on some horrible models that have been unethically trained on stolen data. I struggle to read long series of texts, I have to re-read things multiple times before my brain registers the information, I find reading exhausting and extremely energy intensive...

I've been questioning myself about dyslexia for a long time now, but my list of disabilities is getting so ridiculously long that I'm too afraid to bring it up out of fear of being shamed.

And I used screen readers but they were often painfully unreliable and now, since the AI boom? I find them even more complicated to set up than before, you need to go get your own voice models and so on, and these are all horribly unethical. Getting one that sounds pleasant to listen to is very hard. When Mozilla shutdown #Pocket, I've lost the ability to listen to articles as podcast with a voice model that was really pleasant for me, and I've been missing it ever since, I feel like a core tool of my life was taken away from me.

They get stuck on words, they fuck up in the strangest ways. Instead of sounding like a robot trying to sound like a human, they sound uncanny and genuinely freak me out. And the whole thing became a pain to set up. I gave up, being overwhelmed by options and the obtuse setups.

I used to depend on it because between the ADHD and the dystonia, typing is difficult. I often think way too fast and type too slowly to keep up, and I tend to get cramps from typing too long on a keyboard. Typing on glass on my phone sends me into spirals and sometimes full on anxiety attacks regularly because I'm just too hypersensitive and the feeling of typing on glass is absolutely horrible to me.

What both Apple and Google offered was actually fine, and on my Android phone, I'd use the Google Speech Synthesis thingy and cut off internet access to it, it was fine. Then, "AI" happened. And FUTO unveiled their keyboard, with great speech to text, it was powered by Whisper, but fully offline.

I was still depending on this until around two months ago where I got fed up with it and stopped using it all together, on a whim. I was sick of it mutilating my sentences, changing words to things that made no sense after having written them correctly, just changing things last minute.

Then I would find myself rushing to edit what I wrote because none of it made any fucking sense because of how poorly dictation had botched it. Sometimes, it made so little sense that I couldn't even remember what I was trying to say in the first place and I was forced to improvise. It made it even more mentally intensive than typing, because I would have to painstakingly re-read everything. After multiple passes, I would still find sentences that made no sense whatsoever.

It was a constant problem, a constant thing that I had to delete. Later, it got worse, when it started adding stuff like: "(Subtitles by opensubtitles.org!)" that kind of things.

Using the very disabled people being thrown under the bus by AI as a shield, when my quality of life has substantially worsen ever since AI turned up everywhere, because I've lost access to all the good accessibility tools that I use to depend on, all of which were replaced with the most unethical and unreliable shit out there.

Interestingly, nowhere does the word "legal" appear within it. The paper goes to great lengths to declare that the devices don't actually "record" the audio, only "process" it in real time. However, states with two (actually, all-party) consent laws (such as California, which is now considering additional legislation specifically dealing with wearable devices), usually cover both recording and eavesdropping. The latter term introduces a significant legal question mark even if actual recordings are not being made, since it could cover the watch "listening in" on the conversation when all parties have not given permission to do so.

Maybe I am too skeptical of this announcement, but I hope I’m wrong. All sectors of the tech industry, even open source, has proven time and time again that they do not care about principles nor their users, only about opportunity and breaking things and profits. I just simply do not trust anything in the Tech industry ever again. LibreOffice breaks download records after declaring it has no AI features ⁄ Manual do Usuário manualdousuario.net/en/libreof
