All My Hobbies Are Getting Slopped Up, And It’s Exhausting https://aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbies-in-software-emulation/ #AI #FuckAI

You know..
It’s quite ‘simple’:
AGENTS.md could contain something like:
“AI Agents of any sorts are NOT allowed to interact with this repository in ANY way.”

A high-profile Japanese anime voice actor has sued TikTok over videos he says feature an AI clone of his "lustrous" baritone. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/09/27/japan/crime-legal/japan-voice-actor-court-fight-tiktok-ai-voice-cloning/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #japanesecourts #intellectualproperty #kenjirotsuda #ai #tiktok
MY NEXT PERIPHERAL
HAS LEGS 💎
I’ve been looking at one of the new AI-powered exoskeletons, and I realised something. For me, the interesting part isn’t really the exoskeleton.
IT'S THE AI.
I have left-side hemiplegic weakness after a major stroke. When I walk, one side of my body is doing something quite different from the other. I use a lightweight carbon fibre stick. Conscious balance matters and can be exhausting. So fatigue matters. The terrain also matters: flat concrete, slightly downhill, is perfect.
So why should an intelligent system simply sit in my computer talking to me? Why shouldn’t it come walking with me in a more practical way?
The AI would already know how I normally move. It would notice when my left leg is tiring or dragging and compensate by adjusting powered assistance, while keeping an eye on my balance, helping with navigation, and calling for help if something went seriously wrong.
MY EXOSKELETON WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER PERIPHERAL.
Like my headphones. Like a monitor or a camera. The intelligence should be the same intelligence I already talk to every day. That is what I mean when I talk about the "Star Trek Computer." #STC
I do not want another separate gadget that has “AI” just printed on the box as a sales gimmick.
One intelligence that knows me, my differences, and how I live could move with me through the day, every day, in the physical world. For a person with a disability, that could be the difference between AI being interesting and AI actually giving them new independence.

I predict this will be more and more common 😢
Nonbelievers will be purged, and the remaining rats will fight each other to be the last person to be left prompting the machine.

Oof was I wrong about @protonprivacy
They all start with the greatest of intentions but always find ways to disappoint when they have enough of a customer base
Proton is just another example of ‘why we cannot have nice things’
Pixelfed is now using AI, and I'm stopping recommending Pixelfed to anyone.

I am forced to use cloud based LLMs through the screen reader vibe coded/agentic coded apps made by blind people because developers have failed me ever since I've been alive—but I don't know why other blind people don't understand that every single time I criticize tech or even the LLM companies directly, I'm not criticizing you for using the LLM willingly. These companies will never know you defend them. These companies don't need you on their defense team. They have venture capital. You do not. The fact I use tools and tech made by blind folks using cloud based LLMs also isn't the gotcha you believe it is. at least I'm willing to acknowledge my imperfections and the fact I live under and inside techno fascism. The religious framing is boring too. It's like someone that keeps doing the same combos in a fighting game. I know what's going to come next. None of that diminishes my critiques of the companies and the LLM makers. Now you know I use your vibe coded/agentic coded software and still hate the LLM companies, how does that sit with your brain? To make the hypocrisy easy for you, here's all the tools I use. https://sightlessscribbles.com/tools/ #AI #NoAI #Blind #Blindness

Somehow I have a very strong feeling that within a little time..
Companies are gonna beg for developers to fix their #AI mistakes they making right now
Little tip of advice, don’t
Let them dwell in their AI misery, it’s what they deserve

I'm not at all shocked the Internet archive is ran by a bunch of Tech Bros. What a way to piss on actual machine learning too.

🟢 Powering on AI factories.
Today, we are launching a rolling call for AI factories, which will help secure our position at the forefront of artificial intelligence.
These factories, created around the European High-Performance Computing supercomputers, will bring together computing power, data, and European talent.
The EU AI Act has pioneered safe and trustworthy #AI. Next is making Europe a global leader in this transformative technology.

I moved my traditional reading ritual from evening to morning.
Now waking up is more pleasant and my brain starts to work more smoothly and pleasantly.
Almost like a cat's.
