Researchers found that writers using biased AI agents to auto-complete suggestions had their sociopolitical values shifted without their knowledge it was happening.

We worry about cognitive capture, what the LLMs of big tech are doing to our ability to identify and think through problems. We should be equally worried about them making a grab for our ethos, what we care about, and at population scales.

I know I've used vibe coded accessibility stuff, sometimes accidentally because I didn't know it was AI assisted, other times because I was curious. *sigh*

AI assisted/Vibe coded software genuinely sucks. The quality is so poor that, to me, there is no difference in AI assisted and or vibe coded software. Even my beginning baby scripts are better than software slop. The only vibe coded thing I kinda sorta liked, until I used it more and more, was SonarPad but then I began to realize that, hey, these features? Utterly useless to me, but then there were just obviously missing things I'd think of that would have been revealed in actual testing or people actually using the fucking software they code.

I soon realized I wasn't using a quarter of the features in SonarPad so I then went back to Notepad or my fork of the Accessible Markdown text editor and haven't touched SonarPad since.

The blind community is flooded with software slop, which should say a lot about the accessibility and accessible design of developer tools. If you hate software slop by blind developers, then ask developer tool creators and developer tool maintainers why doesn't their coding IDE work better with Braille and speech?

As for the tools I use...

Creativity is dead! Creativity never existed in the first place because it’s a concept we invented recently! This post has a video based on a seminar I gave last year, along with a comprehensive summary, downloadable audio, & transcript. Tons of production went into this, especially with the caption syncing (& practicing my podcast voice 😎 )

On Mon, #SpaceX🚨amended its IPO to state that water conds—incl water scarcity, regs around water, & drought—could constrain data center dev.

Water use:🚨emerging as one of the most contentious #DataDenter issues. A recent poll found:🚨7 out of 10 Americans are opposed to data center dev -water scarcity ranking as the top res concern. Facing increasingly fierce resistance, some tech cos are scrambling to assure the public that they’re facing the issue head-on.

To be clear about this: https://zeroes.ca/users/kimcrawley/statuses/116810584288856219

I like Kim and her work on StopGenAI well enough, but this post of hers is unwarranted and unfair in my view, as is the fact that several people chose to block me in response.

If you read the full context, which I link below, you'll see the objection boils down to the fact that I used the word "current" in a critique of LLM-based generative AI systems, in an attempt to be precise about what I was saying. Obviously people should block whomever they want for whatever reason they want, but I am not going to be cajoled by threats and ultimatums like this one into making sweeping claims just because other people want to see that. I've been crystal clear about my critique of generative AI for over 3 years now and my writing on it here stands for itself. I have no record of it but people who know me know that I was also quite critical of the hype around GANs in the late 2010s.

For context, here's my post: https://buc.ci/abucci/p/1782335950.858712

and here's Kim's objection: https://zeroes.ca/@kimcrawley/116807184909806502

which reads:

If it weren't for your "current" modifier, your comment would be great.

For reasons I don't understand the thread rapidly degrades from "this post would be great without that one word" to "you invited a murderer into my house": https://zeroes.ca/@kimcrawley/116810548823823670

I had opined about "private open source" as a response to #AI abusive behaviors (https://brokenco.de/2026/04/01/private-open-source.html) and this article popped up in my feed today of that happening 👇️

Warum ich es falsch finde, sich momentan zu sehr mit den Auswirkungen von generativer KI auf den Arbeitsmarkt zu beschäftigen:

Jegliches Verbreiten des Narrativs, dass "KI" bald alle Jobs ersetzen könnte, stärkt dieses anstatt es kritisch zu hinterfragen. Damit wird weiteres Geld in die Kassen von Big Tech und des amerikanischen Faschismuses gespült, anstatt in Lösungen zu investieren, die die Nöte der Menschen tatsächlich angehen. [1/4]

Anyone can publish an amazon KDP book using AI. Its not evil. Its easy.

1. record your story using transcribe mode
2 . ask chat to build a chapter guide for your book based on your content
3. generate each chapter using frontier models, and read the content.
4. have it export the whole mess as a PDF with the dimensions for KDP

Seizing the means. Physical media can be a way to export wealth from the AI token economy

Google took their search engine, the best in the world, and is well on its way to turning it into persona non grata, all for #AI.

Incredible.

The funniest thing about the #goose presentation is how completely it misses the whole point of the fable.

In the original story, the goose has been providing a steady stream of golden eggs. But the farmer gets greedy, and decides that if he cuts open the goose, he can get ALL the golden eggs inside the goose at once. But after killing the goose, he finds no eggs inside, and is left with nothing.

This is a story about the financial class, #AI, and the #Internet economy.

This is a bit niche, but today I noticed the "Local REST API" plugin for Obsidian is now the "Local REST API with MCP" plugin. MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, is an LLM coding agent thing. "Local REST API" previously served a REST endpoint that let other apps, notably browser plugins, interact with your Obsidian vault. It's useful: for instance, there's a browser plugin that allows you to download a copy of any web page and stash it in your vault using the REST API this plugin serves.

I created an issue on the plugin's GitHub about removing the MCP functionality into a separate plugin, and the maintainer immediately converted it into a discussion, which is here: https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-local-rest-api/discussions/272

I'm getting the impression from all the LLM-related discussions and commits that this is a lost cause and I'll probably have to fork this plugin if I want an MCP-free version of it. Looks like they took up slop coding earlier this year too, which is another area of concern.
