I would also argue anti-AI fonts are another form of AI slop also, but all of this! Anti-AI fonts are useless and harmful – Andrew's WebLog https://blog.yaros.ae/anti-ai-fonts-are-useless-and-harmful/ #AI #LLM

A federal district court just ruled that training #AI tools on copyrighted texts is fair use.
https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/20/anthropics-landmark-1-5b-copyright-settlement-is-approved/

#Anthropic is in the clear for training #Claude on millions of books without permission or payment. However, it's liable for obtaining many of those books illegally, and its settlement of those claims (about $3k/title) was approved by the court.

So far this decision only applies in the Northern District of California. But it breaks the ice and will (as lawyers say) be "persuasive but not binding" in other districts.

Using #AI makes people less likely to be correct

Accuracy collapsed when AI was available

- Baseline: 27% gave correct answer
- With AI advice, 9% gave #correct answer

Fact: Some would-be correct people got AI advice & became #wrong

AI advice made people #confident there're correct

- Baseline: 30%
- With AI help, confidence rose to 76%

People became worse, accuracy was only 1/3, but they were twice as confident

#Livechat in #lambdaMOO #VR ! #lisp

Y’all, last week, #AI repository #HuggingFace disclosed that it had been the victim of a cyber attack conducted by an autonomous AI agent.

Well, turns out, #OpenAI had models break containment, escape the lab, and grab prod data and certs to solve a problem it had been given.

So, that’s fun!

The attack used a combination of OpenAI's available #GPT 5.6 Sol and a more powerful, unreleased pre-release model. The models were able to identify and exploit a zero-day vulnerability in OpenAI's internal package registry cache proxy, allowing them to establish open internet access.

The models inferred that Hugging Face hosted the datasets, models, and answers for the benchmark they were being tested against.

The models chained multiple complex attack paths together. They utilized zero-day vulnerabilities and stolen credentials to achieve remote code execution on Hugging Face servers, directly extracting test solutions from the production database.

I think the most important question is: why does anyone comply with what one incurious, self-centered, and self-important man, Linus Torvalds, says?

Why is that most important? Because Linux does not belong to Linus Torvalds. It belongs to the world. Torvalds only gets to dictate if the people who are best-positioned to take that power from him fail to do so. From where I sit (as an outsider), he should have been removed from the project, or at least have his dictatorial power removed, long ago, and the primary problem is that there is no structure or will to actually do that.

Under these conditions Linux is a hierarchical, and therefore right-wing, project. The project allows a single man to dictate the future evolution of a global good. Let's drop the illusion that it is "free" or "open" till that changes.

The reality of AI / LLM when it comes to jobs that people finally started to notice.

- Western world (AU, EU*, NA): AI is replacing humans; less jobs
- Pacific-Asia (CJKM, ASEAN): AI is augmenting humans; more jobs = adapting with the changing landscape

Maybe mainland EU is excluded?

“After just “10 minutes of AI-assisted problem-solving, people who lost access to the AI performed worse and gave up more frequently than those who never used it”.

An MIT study showed that test groups who used ChatGPT had the lowest brain activity and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioural levels”. We undergo not just cognitive offloading, but cognitive surrender: we forget what was possible.”

嗨，各位 @board Fedi 友们大家好！

俺之前在 @https://ovo.st/club/board 板块向各位 Fedi 友们推荐了 2023 年由 DuckDuckGo 推出的 Duck.ai 服务

但是俺在早几日凌晨时段访问时遭遇 DNS 劫持，跳转到一个非法赌博网站、但还好之后已恢复正常

俺怀疑这可能是当地 ISP 的问题，因为俺知道中国大陆有这种情况发生

如果可以，也可以回复此贴告诉俺是否遭遇俺类似情况、如果下次也遭遇、也请将详细问题回复至此贴

The technology is built on massive privacy violations, no matter where it's running! If someone claims that running their slop machine locally is privacy-friendly, their notion of who has a right to privacy is obviously limited to themselves!

Catching up with #BookTube topics this morning and, I have thoughts but nobody will have me on their show. :)

I'm trying to find some solid report/commentary on the notion that, actually, the publishing industry, especially traditional publishers, love—and let me repeat this again—love LLMs/AI and are just waiting for folks to just get used to it or for the younger generations to just roll over and take it. I'm not finding anything. I don't believe, for one second, the industry dislikes LLMs/AI. Individual people might, but you can't sit there and tell me publishing company CEOs are scoffing at LLMs/AI. No. They are just biting their time. I do not—for one second—believe that publishing dislikes AI but I feel I'm in the extreme minority in this. Other authors believe the industry dislikes LLMs just as much as they do. I can assure you, this industry is lying to you. The publishing industry loves AI and is salivating at the day where it's just accepted without consequence.

#Publishing #AI #LLM

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the AI business model.

And here's how they're pitching their slop to us.
