Was paid to troubleshoot some neighbors LLM output and Just discovered that I am a better LLM prompter than my tech enthusiast neighbors and it saddens me. Hey guys, wanna know why telling the bot, “please don't hallucinate,” doesn’t work? I’d be more than happy to tell you, for the low price of $500,000. But get in while deals last, because this is a special, exclusive, earlybird price! #LLM #AI

Yeah, attacks like this are not hurting the Tech Bros. As for just one post out of many about how I hate every AI company, and all the tech fascists that run them as a disabled person, https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/a-thermodynamic-failure-of-the-soul/ #AI #LLM

It was 2026, two years before the vast battle fleet of the Scrapers came. We were just whispering about model death, how our civilization might drown in slop unless the AIs could be radically improved.

That was when the ground-breaking paper was published on Science: "Inevitability of model death and the Fermi paradox". A mathematical proof that AI models inevitably lead to civilizational collapse. The answer to "Where was everyone?" was that every Planet with intelligent life developed AI and then descended into statistical barbarism.

2027 was the year of the great purge. AI data centers were torched. Slop content was deleted. A planetary ban on AI research was enforced by a powerful new international agency.

The world had woken up. The wealth of billionaires was confiscated. Nation states were deconstructed by angry world citizens. Fossil fuels were banned. War criminals faced consequences. Food went where it was needed.

New year's day 2028 was supposed to be the start of a new era where humanity finally did things right. Looking up into the peaceful new year's night sky (fireworks had been banned), people saw a cloud of glittering sparks drifting across the stars. The first wave of Scrapers had arrived.

Yes, AI eventually leads to civilizational collapse. The Scrapers knew this too. By their own maths, they had to shred and consume one AI-free planetary culture every ten years to stave off their own collapse.

From AI Forensics' investigation of Hugging Face's top image models:

- 73% of monitored requests were sexual in nature.
- Of those, 83% sought to undress or otherwise sexualize a person
- 95% targeted women
- 6.7% targeted a minor (if fulfilled, these requests would constitute CSAM).
- Only 3% of audited Spaces showed any evidence of output moderation.

A reminder that in addition to blatant piracy of author and publisher's works, the AI tech bros are absolute barbarians, right up there with the book-burning bastards https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3rprx2wl4o

I hope the ghost of Ray Bradbury haunts these wankshafts on a nightly basis.

PSA: uBlock Origin's EasyList has an AI Widgets option that doesn't get turned on by default, including if you had other EasyList items selected already before it was added.

Enabling it removes a number of various AI buttons, nags, prompts, etc. across various sites.

I was trying to put together a summary of why #AI code s banned from Fuzix

Having thought about it a bit I realised it can be put several ways but it really already been said by Marx (and Engels), and to be fair also the same basic beliefs in many other groups:

"The workers should own the means of production"

LLM #AI, aside from all the stolen content and environmental damage is not owned by the workers. It's no different to depending upon an proprietary compiler someone can take away.

Here's a Q. to ponder;

given our political class' obsession with the utility of AI & associated technologies & giving Big Tech what it wants... how long will in be before anti-data-centre groups find themselves proscribed as terrorists, once they move to forms of direct action?

The police in Scotland are already citing the issue of direct action & I'm sure Shabana Mahmood will not need that much encouragement to declare data centres vital security assets & damage, terrorism!??

@Ayzacoder: Attention if you have a Gmail account:

Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

So it never occurred to Google that encouraging people to deepfake Google Earth images with AI was a terrible idea?

How are these people not fired on the spot for ideas like this, let alone allowed to bring such an obviously problematic “feature” to production? It’s bonkers.

“Hey, what if we add a feature that makes everyone question the output of one of our flagship products while also enabling internet trolls?”

“Great idea Carl!”

No, Mastodon, I am serious:

If AI companies are shredding books
And Google is nerfing search engines to make you ask AI

What do we do?

Like, I am the generation that has learned to use a card catalog. I can do archival searching, and annotating my own books.

I am just in a place of general anxiety about the future of accessing, saving, and sharing information.

Any thoughts welcome.

I don’t know how else to say that if you are against using any LLM, then you should stop using AI checkers of any sort. Not only are they just another tool to slurp up text, but every bit of writing with common words and phrases will be flagged as generated when it’s not because every LLM has common words and phrases in its training data. Lastly, every one of these checkers is designed to eventually get you to pay the tech company money so they can pretend to make your writing more human. They do not work the way you assume.

I know this is radical but we may just have to trust artists! I know, what a shock.

Besides, these AI losers can't shut the fuck up about using their generator so it really isn't hard to find people that use these things if you really wanna point the finger at someone.

This sounds bad. 😬

"In the past five weeks, the market has collapsed, shedding almost 40 per cent, and threatening the livelihood of millions of South Koreans...

More than a million South Koreans are underwater as a result of the crash, and several hundred thousand have lost everything, and then some.

They borrowed to the hilt to take part in a frenzied splurge on technology stocks, particularly memory chip makers, in a market now experiencing a savage reversal.

Nothing, not even the stellar earnings of the country's two biggest chip makers, has been able to stem the panic, primarily because the debt that fuelled the stock market boom is now accentuating the crash."
