❝ Chatbots are made by companies, to serve those companies’ ends… Grok is a reflection of X and xAI, which exist to advance Musk’s worldview and make him money — and it’s thus unsurprising to think that the bot would say things about race in South Africa that largely align with Musk’s political opinions. ❞

“Everybody who uses AI is going to get exponentially stupider, and the stupider they get, the more they’ll need to use AI to be able to do stuff that they were previously able to do with their minds. The tech industry’s subscriber-based, “as-a-service” model is obviously on full display here, except that the subscription will be to intellectual capacity.”
Scary that we move to a society where its mandatory to use AIs to compete, basically forcing you to use it.

The Catholic Church has a new Pope, and he explicitly cited the threats AI presents for workers as a reason for choosing the name Leo XIV.
With the tech industry doing all it can to defend its power, could the Pope be an ally against the AI onslaught?

'Voiceover artist Gayanne Potter said the artificial announcer, marketed as an imaginary character called Iona, was trained using her voice.'
”I was horrified. The quality of it was dreadful. It's hard enough for people in the creative industry to sustain careers but to be competing with a robotic version of yourself just adds insult to injury.
If ScotRail want to do the right thing, I'm happy to do their voice announcements. At least I know how to say Milngavie."

What the actual...
We all know the tricks with the "serving suggestion" photos on #food packaging, right? Same ingredients, but prepared by a professional chef - and then often coated in something to make 'em shiny, cotton pad dipped in boiling water for steam, the old glue instead of milk trick...
But this, from Mars' Ben's Original brand? Not only is that nothing like the contents of the pack, it doesn't actually exist. It's #AI generated.
This Food Does Not Exist.
How is this legal?

AI BUBBLE BURST IS HERE FOLKS..
The AI industry just accidentally #revealed their #biggest_fears, folks! Anthropic published #Claude 4's system prompt #thinking it would show #transparency, but what they actually #exposed is a panicked industry desperately trying to #cover_up fundamental #problems. After 25 years building software, I can read between the lines - and what I found will shock you. We're talking #COPYRIGHT_TERROR, #hallucination cover-ups, and engineering complexity that would make a NASA engineer weep. This isn't the future of AI - this is a #house of cards about to collapse. Today I'm breaking down the 12 most damning revelations from Claude 4's system prompt that prove the AI bubble is bursting faster than anyone wants to admit.
Remember my AI bubble video where I called out 12 warning signs? Well, Claude 4's leaked system prompt just confirmed EVERY SINGLE ONE of them. Simon Willison did the heavy lifting analyzing this monster prompt, and what he found is corporate panic disguised as innovation. Let's dive into what Anthropic accidentally revealed about the real state of AI!

#Google putting wrong medical advice in their #AI Overviews.
This is not funny. It is not acceptable. Today I saw someone who had asked a health-related question to Google Search. The AI Overview presented mixed-up, wrong information. I urged the person to ignore the AI Overview and use the regular site links.
They didn't know there were any regular site links, because the AI Overview filled essentially their entire window and they didn't know to scroll down. This is a common situation with busy, nontechie users.
They have depended on Google to point them at accurate information for so many years, and now Google Search spews out convincing looking AI garbage. This is not an anomaly.
Google's AI Overviews are full of wrong, partially wrong (even more dangerous!), and just plain misinformation. Answers that are completely reversed from supposed source pages because the AI didn't understand the wording. Measurements wrong. Math wrong.
It doesn't matter how often AI Overviews are correct, because you NEVER KNOW when they're going to be wrong, either completely or partly (again, mixing true with false -- like contaminating a well).
And now Google is trying to convince users to use "AI Search" instead -- "Hey Ma', no more list of blue links!" -- making it even harder to see that so many of their answers are, if you'll excuse the expression, bulls*it, sometimes dangerous as well.
This is unconscionable. Frankly, whether Google understands this or not, this behavior is uncaring and evil. Apparently Google's leadership no longer feels any shame at all. Disgusting.
On the limits of LLMs (Large Language models) and LRMs (Large Reasoning Models). The TL;DR: "Our findings reveal fundamental limitations in current models: despite sophisticated self-reflection mechanisms, these models fail to develop generalizable reasoning capabilities beyond certain complexity thresholds." Meaning: accuracy collapse.

Sci-fi writer Charles Stross' dark take on Silicon Valley 'religion'
I teach that scripture and sci-fi share the lesson: playing God leads to trouble. Tech worship a Torment Nexus, a cautionary fiction made real by people who miss the point.
@books @bookstodon @religion #ChristianSciFi #ProfessorK #sciencefiction #AI #amwritingsf #secretscifinetwork #TormentNexus #SiliconValley
Yesterday, during training (customer service position), one of my coworkers asked if they should be using #LLMs to answer customer queries, and my blood ran cold.
Before anyone could respond, I jumped in and said, "No, absolutely not. Generative #AI doesn't give correct answers. It gives responses which look superficially correct, but are factually wrong. And when we give the customer the wrong answer, they don't want us to blame the machine. The blame lands squarely on our shoulders. Do not use ChatGPT, don't use Google AI, don't use Bing's whatever, just DON'T."
Thankfully, everyone thinks I know what I'm doing, so they accepted that. But this is such a common question that nobody thought it odd to ask, and that makes me worried in a very different fashion.

Just because I don’t “have a master’s degree in computer science” and haven’t “worked in the field for ten years” or “learned anything about software” or “tried” or “cared” doesn’t mean I shouldn’t get to be a Senior Software Engineer!

Ok I've come up with an idea;
I'm not going to post anything more AI related, I'm going to sell that content to help me with life and be able to afford real art commissions
So far I've generated about 227 images, I'm going to sell them as packages, you can see the pricing in the pictures below
I might also open requests ( featuring my own characters that is ) for about 5€? But I'll have to think about how that works
@Fidda for more info!
