Finally, #AI stocks are dropping
Let's hope they burn and crash so maybe we can put a brake on this stupid AI LLM bullshit that ruins about everything

I don't have any deep thoughts about it, but I think it's interesting that the word "allowance" is sometimes used to refer to an allotment of units used for AI. The word "token" is used for the unit.
As a Gen Xer who spent some time on boardwalks and in arcades, I read these words as follows. Your parents give you an allowance. Tokens are non-monetary blanks that arcades used to use a lot. You'd pay real life money for a bunch of tokens and then use the tokens to play the games. Your parents would give you an allowance of so many tokens, and not give you money, to (a) keep you from playing too many games; and (b) keep you from using the money to buy candy or cigarettes. I have a few of these that I kept from back in the day.
Make of it what you will.

Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in #Ukrainian hands.
#Russia is trying everything to influence public opinion in the U.S. ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Yuliia Dukach explains how the latest in #AI technology helps the #Kremlin do just that.

From #Tuta reddit > As for AI: We are also exploring how to work with AI, and we are currently in the process of developing the principles to do this, which will certainly include that the security of Tuta is of the utmost important and that we must always understand what's going on in the code, and not hand the responsibility off to a tool. We said this in a recent chat here on Reddit: The current Tuta apps are built more than 99% without AI, but we are currently testing whether it makes sense to use AI tools to help developers speed up repetitive processes and increase efficiency overall. The goal of Tuta is to bring privacy to everyone and for that the Tuta apps must become much more feature-rich and competitive with Big Tech equivalents (eg Gmail). It could very well be possible that we achieve this goal faster if we use AI in development in a defined way, but there are pros and cons to this. https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/1ximsy2/dear_ceo_of_tuta/?solution=33da4e460f4a4b6533da4e460f4a4b65&js_challenge=1&jsc_token=2824be10929bdc604753c70a67a1c331c35f65f26e7911b25b611fe641f22d78&jsc_orig_r= #AI #LLM #Email

Qualche giorno fa parlavo del disamore per #Mastodon Allego, quindi, diapositiva.
Inoltre, e pinnerò il post: il mio profilo è un luogo #AIFREE in modo indefesso, anche a costo di sembrare un coglione.
Se un #techbro del settore pensa che l’Arte, che nasce dalla rielaborazione umana, dal travaglio, dai sentimenti, dal lutto, dalla gioia, dalle esperienze VISSUTE, sia anche solo paragonabile alle porcate fatte con AI può accompagnarsi da solo alla porta.

New episode of The Tony Gebhard Show! Is AI good or bad for blind creators? The answer isn’t black and white. @FreakyFwoof joins me to talk vibe coding, AI slop, ethics, prompting, and what happens if the tools get switched off. Neither of us can code, and both of us are shipping real software. This one’s for the believers and the skeptics.

This is an excellent thread and I recommend reading the whole thing. I'd like to say that it's getting at why competent software developers are implementing gradient ascent while LLMs+test suites are implementing generate-and-test or hillclimbing. People who know and understand a codebase are able to make changes to it that have a high probability of being improvements according to however you measure that. Stochastic code generation filtered by a static test suite is expected to be orders of magnitude slower at achieving the same improvement. This is a fundamental GOFAI result (the "knowledge-search tradeoff" or the "representation problem") but it applies to a wide swath of optimization problems.
Let's also not forget that optimization generally can only occur in small worlds, while humans---software developers and users alike---exist in large worlds. Databases, physics engines and other simulators, and research tools all have an open-ended space of possible applications ("extension") that cannot be anticipated, let alone tested for, in advance. Understanding the intended inner workings ("intension") of such systems is crucial to building them in such a way that they can support and continue to grow with their evolving applications.

Sam Altman wants to bust up small, privately held PCs and collectivize those resources within large data centers, so their utilization can be efficiently coordinated by a central planner (himself).
Sam, buddy! We tried this 100 years ago in Russia, and it didn't work then either.
Fucking great. Sigh. For me, Seeing AI by Microsoft is now describing images that I know are human photographed to be AI generated. I wish there AI describing feature acted more like Ira and just describes the picture not tries to interpret if a thing is AI generated or not. #blindness #Blind #AI
Welp, it finally happened. Had someone find me because they were looking for narrative nonfiction about anti LLMs/AI resistance rather than just opinion pieces pushing back against the hype, although, labor publications like Blood in the Machine are exceptionally important, but they found me by talking to whatever Google is calling their version 4 LLM thing in search.
For those that don't wanna hunt for my longer stuff, I have it all under 1 tag.

Anyone else out there no longer hearing much from your circle (family, friends, associates) because AI has replaced your presence in their lives? (Meaning, they no longer need to contact you because AI is their new companion/confidante/problem solver/emotional security blanket/pseudo romantic partner, etc?)
