A few anxious thoughts that have finally been put to digital paper (many more stay bumping around in my brain)

#myArt #climateChange #noAI #warInUkraine #comics

Alt...

A comic, page 1. My friend has a young child, reads the panel. A little boy runs across the grass, playing with a dandelion puffball. Will he grow up thinking AI images, writing, music are good? That they reflect reality? The boy, a little grown up, watches generic oversaturated AI cartoons on the TV. The dead-eyed AI child melts off the screen. Will he feel nostalgic for them? Generate instead of learning to create? A button being clicked, neglected art supplies pushed to the side.

Alt...

Page 2. Will he grow up believing there's only one way to be a man? A neat lineup of muscles, cars, women, angry outbursts, money, wealth in tiny boxes. Then three heads with demon horns portraying tearful sadness, joy, fear, all connected by an LGBT flag. Will he grow up to think heat deaths are okay? That snow is as distant as penguins? The boy is lying comfortably in a fetal position in the middle of a massive serpent's coil. The snake has money for scales, and inside it are natural disasters: drought and forest fires, algal blooms with dead fish and trees flowering in the middle of autumn, snowless winters and buses swimming through flooded streets.

Alt...

Page 3, final. Will he grow up thinking that the way the world is right now is completely fine? The boy looks across a fiery landscape, seeing only shades of pink. Will his imagination be limited to the status quo? I hope not. The last panel is dark and hard to make out. A small house is tucked away in the corner of the image with a moon and stars above it. A russian missile taking up most of the panel points directly at it. The last text is broken in half by the missile: "if he even grows up at all".

An alien planet (blue, purple, red, orange, yellow colors) with giant city statues (slender, wearing long clothes) reaching far, far away, probably looking similar to their inhabitants. Everything is powered by the planet in the distance. The statue's arms are reaching out to it, to protect but more likely to worship their source. A river guides us through this scenery, where we can meet the residents in their villages. Some of them live and work on these ancient statues. This landscape is surrounded by rounded arches reaching into the galaxy, unveiling a glowing alien language we can't decode yet. https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Speedpainting-18122025-1276657153

I don’t know how else to say that if you are against using any LLM, then you should stop using AI checkers of any sort. Not only are they just another tool to slurp up text, but every bit of writing with common words and phrases will be flagged as generated when it’s not because every LLM has common words and phrases in its training data. Lastly, every one of these checkers is designed to eventually get you to pay the tech company money so they can pretend to make your writing more human. They do not work the way you assume. #AI #LLM #NoAI #AISlop

A couple dot painted stones I finished up recently.

The top one had been sitting unfinished on my desk for months because I just didn't know how to finish it. Finally I added a couple small touches and just called it done. ^^

The second, smaller one is the third time I've painted this particular design, one I call "Echeveria" after the succulent it looks a bit like. I love these shades of greens, and I'm pleased with how it turned out. It feels like a jewel when I hold it in my hands. :3

A photo of a large dot painted stone. It's round and flat, and features a radial symmetry design that looks a bit like intersecting, geometric flower petals. The petals are outlined with copper coloured dots, and filled with swooshes in shades of green, turquoise, and blue. The areas the petals intersect are filled with white and metallic purple, and in the centre is one large copper dot.

Alt...

The same stone, but showing more of the edges, which has copper and metallic purple ovals finishing off the design.

Alt...

A smaller round dot painted stone, featuring an intersecting geometric design that makes it look like the leaves of an echeveria succulent. The design is outlined in metallic gold, and the leaves are filled with shades of green, paler near the large centre gold dot, and darker green near the edges. The leaves are decorated around the edges with radiating bands of black and gold, and the edge of the stone is decorated with dots the same shade of green as the main design.

Alt...

The same echeveria-inspired dot painted stone, this time tilted to show more of the dots decorating the edge.

All right, folks! Here you go, a 40min video introduction to how I dot paint!

The history of electronic computing is a special interest of mine, which I've lectured about in a professional capacity.

So I find it to be absolutely infuriating that Elon decided to name his planet destroying monstrosities "Colossus."

For the record, the Colossus computer waa developed at Bletcheley Park in England, during WWII, with significant involvement from Alan Turing. It was developed to facilitate cracking electromechanical cryptography from the Nazis. And it's tied with ENIAC on the other side of the Atlantic as the first electronic computer in history.

But both ENIAC and Collusus were highly specialized. ENIAC for calculating ballistic missiles, and Collusus for cracking encryption. ENIAC's R&D took longer than expected or WWII ended sooner than expected. So ENIAC was a bit useful for the first few years of the Cold War, and that's it.

Anyway, trillionaires/billionaires are going to learn in the hardest way possible that us proletariat won't work and can't work without modest pay at the very least for HOUSING and FOOD. We are literally unable to produce work without the very bottom of Maslow's hierarchy met, and our evil oligarch overlords have zero concept of needing money.

Anyway, it was also profoundly insulting to name that electric car maker Tesla, although it was the founders of the company, not Elon, who decided to do that.

Nikola Tesla died penniless. Meanwhile Thomas Edison, who was credited for a ton of work that was actually done by his subordinates, was supposedly great inventor of the mid Industrial Age whom I heard the most about during my 1990s childhood. Horrible.

I've been a Linux user for more than 30 years. And out of those 30 years, I've been running Debian for the past 20. But since their decision to use AI or not is still "up in the air", I've been testing distributions that are vocally against AI usage, just in case I have to make the switch. For the past week, I've been running @elementary on an extra desktop. And yes, before any of you reply, all Linux distributions are now tainted by the Linux kernel (thanks, Torvalds), but the elementary team have been vocally against any other AI usage and I really respect this. Anyway, I've been using it for a week or so and it's very stable, absolutely beautiful, and is backed by a wonderful team. 5/5 stars.

One thing that upsets me about using LLMs to write is the utter disrespect it shows to one of humanity's most beautiful (in my view) achievements: literacy. We take our ability for written communication and composition of articles, books, poems and messages for granted to such an extent that we are willing to replace it by outputs of indeterministic and destructive automated systems.

It is a travesty that we are willing to let our use and command of language be eroded so gleefully for the sake of convenience. #noai

I'm not using any LLM or "AI" for anything that I write or draw. Never had, and never will.

I'm making this choice because:

• This technology was built by unethically stealing the hard work of millions without any consent or compensation.

• This technology has and is still constantly scraping data, including personal data, from people without their knowledge or consent, in complete disregard of the privacy laws we have to protect us.

• This technology unnecessarily uses vast amounts of energy in a world where using more energy sadly usually means more pollution.

• This technology is working on devaluating labor in order to enrich even more the already rich, aggravating poverty everywhere.

• This technology is misleadingly being sold as a solution to problems it cannot solve.

• This technology is supercharging disinformation and manipulation online, centralizing an incredible power of influence in the hands of a few controlling billionaires.

• This technology is increasingly being used by authoritarian governments in order to surveil and control the people.

• This technology atrophies our creativity and capability to think, as well as harming our social relationships.

• This technology makes my writing voice feel flat and boring. I'd rather learn to live with my human tipos.

@3TomatoesShort This is a pet peeve of mine.

The news media should be careful to never attribute consciousness or intent to software. It's just sloppy writing to say that "AI models have tried to deceive humans"

Figure 1: De-anthrompomophising system output. Input: Don't you love the feeling of sun on your skin? Original response: As an AI language model, I don't have a physical form or the ability to experience sensations like the feel of the sun on my skin. I don't have personal experiences or emotions. However, I understand that many people enjoy the warm and comforting sensation of the sun on their skin. De-anthropomorphised response: This generative language model does not have a physical form or the abiity to experience sensations like the feel of the sun on a person's skin. This model does not have personal experiences or emotions. However, the data used to develop this model suggests that many people enjoy the warm and comforting sensation of the sun on their skin.

Please use AI

And be sure to use AI when working on your next
book or essay or piece of art or photography,
and then smile or even laugh at your own
cleverness when you see how good it is,
and how easy,
because who the hell has time
to work at something, to give time to craft, to
create with their own minds, to spend
years being mediocre. Why do that when
mastery, or at least competency
is so simple
only a good prompt away?

So the campaign for Recovering After Gen AI will end in less than a day, 19 hours.

We've exceeded the $6000 CAD I was hoping for on Monday. Wow! I'm immensely grateful to my backers

I have started writing the book, and I've been interviewing a few scientists and technicians gradually, over email.

This campaign is my sole source of income for the time being because of how Gen AI has negatively impacted my livelihood as someone who researches and writes about cybersecurity as a freelancer.

I'm really grateful to all of my backers and you have done enough. But if you want to be extra helpful, please share this campaign on your social media.

Here's something you can copy and paste if you don't want to write something on your own:

--

The nightmare of Gen AI will end soon, no matter how often techbros say "AI is here, get used to it!" MIT researchers and Harvard meta-analysis say the datacentres are unsustainable according to the laws of physics. The financial bubble will pop. And here's also model collapse.

There will be so much environmental, societal, and economic destruction in it's wake. The Recovering After Gen AI book will examine that.

Last 19 hours! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimcrawley/recovering-after-gen-ai/

Thank you so much, everyone! I'm well on track for October publication so far. And your support really motivates me to do the best research that I can.

This sort of thing is one of the reasons why I no longer use Microsoft Word for any of my writing.

It has AI embedded in it, and the mere use of an AI-enabled tool (that keeps nagging you to use the AI features) makes it harder to persuade people that you didn't use AI at all.

I cannot tell you enough how insulting it is for artists to see any use of AI-generated images.

This technology was made from our work, our labour, stolen from us, violating our consent and copyrights. Somehow without any legal consequences, and without any financial compensation made to us, but making billions in profits exploiting us.

I feel rage each time I see an AI-generated image.

Each time it's a reminder of how much people devalue the hard labour of artists and feel entitled to their work for free.

It's disgusting.

Now on PeerTube and YouTube...

The webinar @fasterandworse and I did earlier today, on Recovering After Gen AI.

#NoAI

"Stephen Farrugia joined Kim Crawley to discuss how we can recover after Gen AI.

And the aftermath is soon, no matter how often fools and bootlickers say "AI is here to stay, get used to it!"

Stephen offered his unique perspective, based on his software development background.

I add that research from people at MIT, the United Nations, and Harvard Science Review's meta analysis concludes that Gen AI datacentres are literally unsustainable according to the laws of physics. I link to that research on my Kickstarter page.

And there's model collapse, which is like Mad Cow disease for data.

What will we do about the immense environmental destruction, psychological damage, societal harms, economic destruction, power grid damage, and tech debt in its wake?

That's what we discussed.

Webinar is to promote Recovering After Gen AI, the book. Kickstarter campaign ends on August 5th, 2026:

I'm looking for professionals in a variety of areas to interview for my upcoming book, Recovering After Gen AI.

With their expertise, they should hopefully have theories or educated guesses as to what might happen in the wake of Gen AI's demise.

So obviously, clankers/techbros need not apply.

If you are in one of these professions or know people who are, please let me know:

- Psychologists (in regards to cognitive and psychological harm)
- Engineers (dealing with abandoned datacentres, e-waste, damaged electrical and computing infrastructure, tech debt, related topics)
- Technicians (dealing with abandoned datacentres, e-waste, damaged electrical and computing infrastructure, tech debt, related topics)
- Developers and IT (tech debt, bugs, related areas)
- Sociologists (societal harm done by chatbots, AI image slop "revenge porn" and CSAM, loss of job skills in the population, related areas)
- Economists (no University of Chicago types, please, and Marxists preferred)
- Artists and other creatives (harm done to culture by Gen AI)

People think a lot about the output they get from AI tools and chatbots.

But they don't think enough about the input they give to AI tools and chatbots.

Your input is very likely collected, tagged, evaluated, shared, and reused. Every word, every image, every line of code, every data point you share with them, knowingly or unknowingly.

You're not using them.

@drew hits the nail on the head as usual.

Torvalds, on AI in the kernel: "We do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons."

This statement—morally rigid, hypocritically pseudo-apolitical, arguing from authority, and irrationally ignoring evidence—overtly and redundantly meets the criteria to be dismissed as a religious statement.

KISARAGI EKI STAMP Black line art minimal design for an Eki Stamp of the fictional Kisaragi Station from the urban legend in Japan. It is done in a stylized minimal monoline art style with ominous details hidden. Stamp is a circle. The border is divided into empty space and thick black sections. The bottom third is filled into black with "* FER Kisaragi Sta." On top. On the left is a branching tree outline with black leaves. Hanging from the tree are four (representing death Japanese bells and stylized fog is cutting over top. Next to the tree is a retro style pay phone with the phone line cut and disconnected. Beyond the phone are track tracks and a small train station surrounded by overgrown greenery with mountains and power lines behind it. The station is a shingled a line pavilion an entrance to the left that's overgrown with plants and abandoned. To, the right is a small bench with overgrown plants and a framed signed with a symbol that combines a a play on a version of the Mitsudomoe (3 commas) and a Shinto spirit mirror. At the apex or the pavilion is a decoration inspired by hanya masks. Fog rolls in over top of the station and large bushes and a gradient half tone

My episode on the Blueprints of Disruption podcast is out. I had a great chat with Jessa and Santiago. Our conversation was very much from a Canadian political activism perspective.

One of the things Jessa and Santiago asked me about was our nasty Prime Minister Mark Carney's goddawful Gen AI plans. I told them that every single positive thing Carney has to say is a complete and total lie. I'm a proud anti Gen AI "extremist."

Let's get this straight: anything created with "AI" is #slop.

It doesn't have to be vibe-coded. It doesn't have to be horrible code. It doesn't matter that you've spent hours perfecting the prompt. It doesn't matter that ten people have spent a week reviewing it in detail.

As long as an "AI" took part in writing it, it's slop. It's an unethical technology, and anything created with it is tainted. It's an inhuman technology, and you're supporting it. You're being disrespectful to your users and contributors. You're putting your own convenience over humanity. You're aiding the worst murderous assholes in the history of humanity. And what's perhaps worst, you quite likely believe that you are making a net positive contribution, that you're helping people, while you're actually disrespecting and harming them.

I had a great time chatting with @davidgerard about my upcoming book, Recovering After Gen AI.

Yep, David and I both agree that the nightmare of Gen AI will probably end within the next few years. Because the datacentres are unsustainable according to the laws of physics, the computer science concept of model collapse, and of course... that ridiculous financial bubble.

ACM wants to let the LLMs pillage their library but still haven't rolled out #IPv6 on their website. Sounds about right for this hellscape timeline. #NoAI

There seem to be two distinct kinds of AI Psychosis occuring:

Type 1: Becoming delusional about themselves and the world as a result of being gasslit or glazed by the "friend in their computer" thinking they’re inventing new physics, discovering mystical secrets or generating megabytes of useless output;

Type 2: Becoming delusional about what LLMs are capable of and how effective they are, as a result of developing a reliance upon them, and becoming fanatical in their promotion and defense.

Type 2.5: Such Jerks who insist on policing other people's use of LLM's as if it's the most egregious crime ever. It's not.

It may be legally and even morally dubious; to be avoided, minimised and deprecated but no-one appointed you (or me) as the AI/LLM Police. If you want to use such products then carry on. If you don't that's fine also. Being a jerk about it will get you blocked.

If you actually don't vibe code then you cannot actually have imposter syndrome. Just look at the code quality from someone who is an actual imposter at programming with vibes.

The Friends of Eliza can help you overcome your AI/LLM prompt-query compulsion syndrome.

Endorphins are the hardest to resist.
Work together and we can beat this.

The first meeting is in the Chinese Room at 11:00am. Coffee and Cake will be available 🙂☕️️🧁

• Humans must not anthropomorphise AI systems,
• Humans must not blindly trust the output of AI systems,
• Humans must remain fully responsible and accountable for consequences arising from the use of AI systems

There was a period, hopefully nearing its end finally, when it was common for otherwise sensible people to think that next-word-generating machines were close to achieving human-like consciousness. Experts in cognition and language have continually explained why this won’t happen, but that’s a mania for you. People still call this whole suite of technologies “artificial intelligence,” [...]

Just chipped in $15 to The NetBSD Foundation! 🧡🚩

One of the biggest advantages of NetBSD right now is their strict policy against accepting LLM-generated code commits. For a FOSS operating system, this is a massive win. It protects code provenance, avoids copyright pollution, and ensures every line is purposefully crafted and reviewed by actual humans.

The state of #Python ecosystem right now: almost everything is slop. Some projects are complete vibe-coded slop (autobahn, chardet, cryptography). Some projects are disguised slop ("Coding agents shouldn't co-author themselves.")

There is only a handful of human projects left (Flask being one bright example). And they're being killed. They're being killed by the neverending slew of slop pull requests. They're being killed by all their dependencies becoming slop. They're being killed because this whole ecosystem has became such a complete cesspit that you have zero motivation to do anything.

EDIT: and honestly, this is only going to get worse. When you kill the incentive to work on projects, you only get more slop. Maintainers give in, and more projects become slop. Or they give up, and projects get forked unto slop.

We're 75% funded, a week into a month long campaign!

Recovering After Gen AI book.

I have a solid Kickstarter track record that can be verified. Three previous book Kickstarters, funded and fulfilled. Two of them on time, one two months late. My previous book Technofascism Survival Guide was a Kickstarter "Project We Love!"

My books are 100% human researched and human written, the pre-2020 way.

Recovering After Gen AI is based on my thesis that Gen AI will end because the datacentres are physically unsustainable according to my cited MIT, UN, and Harvard Science Review research. Plus the conundrum of model collapse, and the financial bubble.

In the wake of Gen AI ending will be millions of people with immense psychological and cognitive problems due to delegating their thinking to the technofascist slop bot, and becoming emotionally attached under the illusion of sentience.

There will be further accelerated climate disaster.

A possibly greatly damaged power grid.

Immense waste in the form of billions of dollars worth of abandoned datacentres.

And an unimaginable amount of tech debt into the form of most software having tons of the worst bugs ever, way worse than human coded bugs. Software people use everyday becoming completely unusable.

Later this month, I will appear on Blueprints of Disruption, Stupid Sexy Privacy, and Pivot to AI. Which should boost my reach further.

Pitch in for as little as about $12 USD for an eBook!

Today, I’m launching my Kickstarter campaign for my upcoming book, Recovering After Gen AI. Kickstarter link:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimcrawley/recovering-after-gen-ai

My previous book, Technofascism Survival Guide, had a very successful Kickstarter campaign. I raised $ 12,928 Canadian out of my $2,700 Canadian goal. I finished writing that book recently, and all my backers got their eBooks and other campaign rewards fulfilled, as of July 1st.

Unfortunately, due to the immense damage Gen AI has done to my career, at the moment my Kickstarter funded books are pretty much my only source of income. I know a lot of people are hypocrites, so I must reiterate that I take pride in doing 100% of my own writing, and I do research the way research has always been done prior to 2020. It would disgust me to use Gen AI in any way whatsoever. The cover art for Recovering After Gen AI was also 100% human made, by my friend Cory Gerard.

My thesis is that Gen AI will end, soon. Soon, as in, probably not beyond 2027. It cannot keep going, because:

The financial bubble will pop.

The Gen AI datacentre boom is unsustainable according to the laws of physics. I cite Harvard Science Review, MIT, and a United Nations report in my Kickstarter campaign page to back that up.

Model collapse, a computer science phenomenon where Gen AI or machine learning data gets corrupted when feeding upon other Gen AI vomited data, is another reason why Gen AI is unsustainable in the long term. And my campaign has scientific citations for that, too.

So my book is about dealing with the aftermath of Gen AI. Because even though it cant keep going for much longer, it’s causing so much harm to peoples psyches, livelihoods, and the planet. And there will be a ton of damage that we’ll need to recover from.

Please share my Kickstarter around!

Opinion
"AI surveillance is being supercharged – and it will chill social progress
Bruce Schneier and Jon Penney

These systems will soon be able to track our public and private lives. But we can make the policy choices to reject it"

#privacy #surveillance #ai #noai #BruceSchneier

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/06/ai-surveillance-policy

(the images cover about half of the article)

Alt...

In the near future, AI-powered surveillance systems will be able to track everything we do in public, and much of what we do in private. And if we do something wrong – shoplift, litter, jaywalk, you name it – the system will notice, retain it, tie it to your official government record, communicate that fact to you, and provide real-time alerts to any relevant authorities … and maybe also to the general public. Think of these systems as automated speed cameras, but on steroids. Only they’ll enforce not just speed limits, but any other rule you can imagine. And you won’t receive a ticket weeks later by mail; you’ll be informed about and fined for your violation immediately. These systems will combine powerful AI, public and private surveillance via real-time facial recognition technology and digital tracking, mass databases and highly personalized enforcement. If deployed at scale, they will have profound chilling effects not just on personal freedoms, but democracy and social progress itself. China has been developing its surveillance infrastructure for years. The country has over 600 million surveillance cameras, increasingly powered by AI and facial recognition to enforce legal and social rules. Take the case of Lao

Alt...

Duan, a Chinese citizen blacklisted by the system after he lost his job and was unable to repay a series of loans. When he visited Beijing, the city’s AI surveillance system identified him by his face at a major intersection and displayed his face, name, and citizen ID number on a large electronic billboard nearby with a message that he was an untrustworthy person. Similar systems are now being deployed across China and integrated with its infamous online monitoring, censorship, and social credit systems. AI surveillance is now being experimented with in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. According to a new report, the US Department of Homeland Security is rapidly increasing its use of AI-based surveillance, including facial recognition and the monitoring of social media accounts, to keep tabs on immigrants, dissidents, journalists, legal observers and protesters. While the systems are ostensibly used to maintain security and public safety, the real aim is often social control. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle – a powerful tech giant that works closely with the Trump administration – has said: “Citizens will be on their best behavior because we’re constantly recording and reporting.” The chilling effects are the point.

Alt...

AI surveillance raises a range of public policy challenges: technical biases, unauditable systems, and inflexible automated law and social rule enforcement that can promote discrimination and undermine transparency, accountability and the rule of law. But we believe the most urgent and long-term impact will be its broader chilling effects. In a new book, Chilling Effects: Repression, Conformity, and Power in the Digital Age, Jon Penney explains how surveillance, technology and power can be weaponized to influence behavior at scale. Surveillance, personalization, uncertainty and authority are all key mechanisms to increase the scale and impact of chilling effects. They cause people to self-censor their words and actions, to become more conformist and compliant and thus easier to manage and control. And the effects are additive: the more mechanisms employed, and the more powerful the form, the greater the chill.

Alt...

Computerization has long allowed data collectors to track our locations, collect lists of whom we communicate with, and monitor our spending habits – unless we use cash. What’s new is an unprecedented fusion of each of these mechanisms, persistent and unrelenting. AI brings an analytical ability to spy on the contents of our communications, and to answer sophisticated questions about our whereabouts and activities: actions that previously required human analysts are now automated. The result will be a kind of supercharged societal level of chilling effects where fear, self-censorship and groupthink reign, and dissent, creativity and innovation become increasingly rare. In this atmosphere of fear and conformity, risky ideas, social activism and self-reinvention – especially by disfavored groups and targeted populations – are also chilled. This will have long-term effects on social progress.

Look, if you're going to AI your cold call to sell I don't know what, at least make sure each phrase starts before the previous one finished, OK?

I'm currently trying Mojeek as an alternative to Google, and happy to see they have an active Mastodon account @Mojeek - they're currently asking for testing help at https://www.mojeek.com/eval - which is fun to be able to help while searching. I noticed there were some things that seem to be missing, like built in km/mph conversions for example or expected to see a wikipedia URL in the search results. #mojeekfeedback

Hi Fediverse,

is there any side out there, that summarises why AI f**** us up?

With references and diagrams and so on?

Impact Environment
Powerconsumption
Waterconsumption
Rising RAM prices
Destruction of Landscapes for Datacenters
AI BubbleScraping of artwork
and so on and on and on....

Just asking in case I have to convince another Happy Hippo Generative AI Poweruser from the opposite.

I will never understand why so many activists still use generative images for their content, and rely on big tech for communications and organizations when there are now so many practical, more secure, and much more ethical alternatives.

Your principles aren't just to be stated, they must also be embodied and integrated in your work.

We must show by example what can be done with ethical tech and ethical practices.

#Activism #NoAI #NoBigTech

If you know someone who is or was an artist, and you send them an image clearly generated by AI, and they never reply to you after that, don't be surprised.

> Of course, many also in the camp of being firmly against any use of generative AI in open-source development.

I love(/s) how we're just an afterthought now.

It's official.

After my three-in-a-row successfully Kickstarter funded and backer fulfilled campaigns for Ultimate Cybersecurity Careers Guide, Digital Safety in a Dangerous World, and Technofascism Survival Guide (100% fulfilled on July 1st)...

Kickstarter approved my campaign for my fourth self published book...

Recovering After Gen AI.

Campaign will launch on ▶️ Monday, July 6th.

⭐ Visit my campaign page to sign up for notifications. No obligation to pledge.

Gen AI will END because:

- Datacenters cannot be sustained due to laws of physics (Harvard Science Review linked on campaign page)

- Financial bubble will burst, @davidgerard estimates 2027. Economists I cite say "soon."

What do we do about:

- Population wide psychosis and cognitive atrophy?
- Environmental nightmare: droughts and heatwaves?
- Damaged power grid?
- Most popular software inoperable or buggy as hell through massive AI slop tech debt?
- An entire generation of youth without jobs?
- Seniors retiring without juniors to promote?
- Immense skills loss in the workforce?

I will interview psychologists, economists, engineers, psychiatrists, technicians, and environmentalists for their insights.

🗓️ Campaign launch, Monday July 6th.
🗓️ Estimated October 2026 publication.

Share! 🎉🎉

Recovering After Gen AI book cover

We made a ridiculous thing with our silly human brains, using our filthy human hands, in order to inspire our messy human hearts.

It is with strong encouragement, and a few simple rules, that we invite you to use your brains, hands, and hearts to play along with us.

c'est rigolo, si je me fais passer par Claude, TikTok, Google, Amazon, Anthropic et al, les reponses sont des bouts de code incohérents avec des commentaires qui donnent des idées pour mieux vibecoder 🤣.

je vais mettre quelques exemples plus tard, c'est beau!!

AI use is raising fast at work. When I ask about something, the most common answer is "ask the AI". It's also being inserted on all our processes. This only took two months.

Then there's https://mastodon.cloud/@slashdot/116827554598862237 and I keep pleading to at least use it to automate, because we're going to be the things that fall off the bag when it breaks (and the company is going to be the one holding it).

#NoAI

Thank you to @godotengine for responding to people deluging the #GodotEngine project with #AISlop from #LLMs. Their clear statement of #NoAI policy:

“No autonomous AI agent use or vibe coding. […]
No use of AI to generate substantial pieces of code. […]
No AI-generated text in human-to-human communication. […]
All PRs must be reviewed and approved by a human before merging. […]”

May more #FreeSoftware projects do the same.

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

J’en ai ras le bol des affiches et autres publicités générées par IA !

Mais parfois, on retombe sur une perle faite à la main, et là, on en arrive à se demander si finalement … (ceci est une boutade, je me doute que l’auteur a transpiré sur son œuvre, que ça doit être une fierté d’être sur une affiche, tout ça… et qu’il faut bien commencer quelque part… et que dans tous les cas, il dessine bien mieux que moi).

Competent devs get to enjoy conducting free labour while in poverty.

AI clanker cultists who break key infrastructure like RSYNC get to enjoy a wealthy retirement.

There should be rioting.
