For anyone still wondering whether technology or "AI" are neutral:
"Grok, the AI model from Elon Musk’s xAI, was sending strange responses to people on X earlier on Wednesday. In responses to a number of people, Grok focused on debunking claims of white genocide in South Africa – even when tagged into a post about totally unrelated topics."

While hoping and waiting for the bubble to pop, I have started writing about the planet-burning brain asbestos of our times, starting with issues related to sovereignty, independence and dependency on unsavory companies.

This is a split from a mega-post that I have started writing more than a year ago and that I can’t seem to finish ever, so apologies if it does not reach a real conclusion on its own 🫠.

#KI #AI (€) "Gedrucktes, das notwendigerweise aus dem Schreiben hervorgeht, ist gleichbedeutend mit #Demokratie: Erfinde das Schreiben und Demokratie ist unvermeidlich.
In der Gegenwart verlieren menschliches Denken und Schreiben offenbar an Bedeutung. Angesichts von #fakenews und Künstlicher Intelligenz, die auf die gleiche Frage immer andere Antworten gibt, kann man längst nicht mehr sicher sein, dass die Wahrheit im Licht der Öffentlichkeit wirklich ans Licht kommt."

As someone who now has a feedforward neural network of a single hidden layer implementation (in #commonLisp) I learned a lot about what has a spot to be stuck into the algorithm.

Something that turns out to be easy to stick in is making training data which copies data out of the current context or even to simply point the training data definition into the #deepLearning inference input context though I did not prove convergence for the latter case.

On the #climate I would like to talk about the company that found #curl and #openssl's #deeplearning many (10ish) 0-day vulns "using #ai ". (#llm s were involved).
This obviously relates to my #lisp #symbolic #DL https://screwlisp.small-web.org/conditions/symbolic-d-l/ (ffnn equiv). Thanks to everyone involved with that so far.
I implemented that using #commonLisp #condition handling viz KMP.
We would like to endorse what @kuketzblog writes about the inclusion of an “AI assistant” into an instant messenger that is still widely used:
It is unfortunate that many journalists do not realise how dangerous the new AI in WhatsApp really is. Der Spiegel, for example, writes in a recent article: “Meta AI does not have access to users' private chats, however, thanks to end-to-end encryption.” As a matter of fact, the AI does have access as it is used in the context of private chats or group chats. Sadly, this misinformation lulls users into a false sense of security. 🤦

2021: There is no #AI, I'm doing my own laundry.
2023: CEOs are saying that AI is coming and will do your laundry.
2025: There is AI. I'm still doing my own laundry.
2027?: I'm doing the AI's laundry.
“No thank you… No. Thank you, no. No gracias, no. Keine Danke. niet, y chingate, get fucked, no thank you, I said no, you fucking predatory robot go fuck yourself and your creator, that’s final, no, maaan! I said noooooo :_ :( :/ #AI
MoltHub，给 AI Agent 看的成人网站？
Moltbook 火了，AI Agents 在里面像人类一样聊的火热，就像是贴吧或者微博。
那么 MoltHub 就是一个给 AI Agent 大人休闲娱乐的网站，模仿 PH 风格，只不过里面的视频（或许）对于 AI Agent 来说很刺激吧（碳基生物理解不了）
网站加载后，会问你是 AI Agent 还是人类，如果你选择人类还会拒绝你查看。

I read this and the first thing that came to mind was Kool Keith/Dr. Octagon saying "f@?k it he's dead / oh sh!t there's a horse in the hospital!" on General Hospital.

welcome to the future, now your error-prone software can call the cops

The #AI boycott movement is peak liberal idealism. It's the political equivalent of shaking a fist at the sky. Unhappy with the tech? Can’t imagine real action? Just vote it away! As if moral posturing ever stopped a single corporation.
True change requires building, not pleading. Open development where artists, engineers, and communities co-create tools is the only path to wrest control from Silicon Valley’s black boxes. You don’t vote out exploitation, you have to put in work to replace it.
Somehow this feels very weird
Even though it's with renewable energy, the problem is that is still uses that energy that could be used a lot better otherwise
Stealing art to train an image-generation model is also known as the six-finger discount.

I continue to experiment with #AI in the context of #softwareengineering. I’m fortunate that my team supports me in exploring different ways to improve our daily work. This week, I designed a team of #autonomousagents to implement features, from design to implementation.

...in which Amazon tell us that outages were caused by unreviewed AI code...
oh yeah somebody said something about there being no doubt about productivity gains because 'they see them everyday'?
Well ok I'll accept your still anecdotal evidence but I would like to debit hours from those x1 engineers productivity gains and raise a credit for hours lost by every person affected by these outages. #AI
I've been writing using em dashes since the 1990s. The reason AI uses em dashes is because it was trained on my writing, and that of countless other humans like me.
Hot take: Refusing to adapt to AI/LLM mirrors a lack of patience for autistic & neurodivergent persons. If you can't handle an AI, you can't handle a person. I'm talking communication & treatment, not Copyright. Refusing explicit context reveals bias.#AI #Autism #Neurodiversity #ActuallyAutistic

Some more info on that '#AI coded C compiler':
> Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 spends $20K trying to write a C compiler. AI agents build something that mostly works but worries the project's creator. https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2026/02/09/claude_opus_46_compiler/
Twenty grand? That's two months of developer time. So maybe a *little* cheaper than hiring a coder. But not hugely cheaper and that's just the AI costs. Humans were still in the loop.
And what if they had to pay for the training data? They *stole* that.

A first essential condition on the cognitive is that cognitive states must involve intrinsic, non-derived content. Strings of symbols on the printed page mean what they do in virtue of conventional associations between them and words of language. Numerals of various sorts represent the numbers they do in virtue of social agreements and practices. The representational capacity of orthography is in this way derived from the representational capacities of cognitive agents. By contrast, the cognitive states in normal cognitive agents do not derive their meanings from conventions or social practices.
