I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞
So, if you like one of the hashtags below, please consider following me, and if you do, I'll follow you back! Thank you. 💗

Outlook not so good 🎱
Police tech doesn’t predict crime. It predicts policing.
Based on biased data, it brings more of the same – racist policing and poverty punishment.
Read our latest blog on why crime 'predicting' police tech must be BANNED ⬇️

I know everyone's LinkedIn is different, but my feed has been swamped with #MCP (model control protocol) conversation. While there is a role for #APIs in today's #AI agentic buzz, there's more to what's happening than meets the eye. I cut through the claims, and try to see the situation clearly in this, the 250th edition of Net API Notes:

I read this with interest…
"Billionaires think that they're the smartest people who've ever lived, because they're the wealthiest people who've ever lived. If they were wrong about anything, then why would they have been so financially successful? […] They believe that everything can be quantified, like a person's IQ, and that money is a good measure of how much someone is worth."

The statement “why would I bother to read something someone couldn't be bothered to write?” almost perfectly captures so many peoples’ feelings about #AI.
And it evokes @pluralistic’s reminder that although AI probably can’t do your job, an AI salesman can probably convince your boss that it can.
In the end, this technology (or rather the market for this tech) is aimed squarely at its least noble use: cheapening and degrading human labor that doesn’t fit neatly into a balance sheet.

A roundup of a few recent AI-related things from us @BBCRD ...
Firstly, we've just published a long-read on AI agents, their potential, and the problems. They can save time and effort, but come with issues of trust, control and privacy - read more:

This week's net.wars, "Hallucinations", tours the increasing unreliability of "AI" and its chatbots: https://netwars.pelicancrossing.net/2025/05/16/hallucinations/ #NetWars #AI

There was a short period of time in history when people would unironically say "why are you asking me, go ahead and google it."
(See also: LMFGTFY)
And now we are going back to "for the love of god don't google it, ask an expert instead."

Guess it's time to collect some #ai sources that I notice on my daily digital endeavours. 🤓
1/n
Let's start with this #interview that #GeoffreyHinton gave #CBS just lately. I find that #kindergarden allegory quite fascinating - #humans would be the kids that won't understand what's going on while the digital adults pull the strings.
Given the state of the world, I'm not sure if that has to be a bad thing.

Emma Newman is angry. Justifiably so.
“I’m just a girl, standing in front of the British government, asking why they want to give away all my work as part of the UK's 126 billion pound creative arts industry, to serve another industry being run by greedy tech bros, just so they can destroy everything else just that little bit faster.”

“Lord of the Flies” but for AI? @Futurism explains:
Newsletter: An OpenAI featured chatbot is pushing extreme surgeries on men it describes as “subhuman”, and promoting misogynist ideas sourced from online incel forums.
“Without surgery, you won’t mog genetically superior guys head-on,” it tells one man.

"A lawyer representing [an AI startup company] Anthropic admitted to using an erroneous citation created by the company’s Claude AI chatbot in its ongoing legal battle with music publishers, according to a filing made in a Northern California court on Thursday."
🗣 LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!
❝ 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.
