AI is truly fucking over all kinds of creators and artists. Not really new forms of theft and fraud, but at scale and speed previously unimaginable, with relative ease. Just saw an up and coming musician have all their songs copied, run through ai to remix, batch uploaded to streaming sites, copyright applied and:
Boom, they were flagged and lost the income on their streaming. It was corrected, but fucking Meta took down their post about it for "violating community standards".

Well, fuck. As the apes at the end of the Spaceballs movie would say, there goes the planet. 
And a happy FUCK OFF to AI from Emma Thompson. 😌

AI Use Appears to Have a “Boiling Frog” Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns
"In a new study, researchers claim to provide the first causal evidence that leaning on AI to assist with “reasoning-intensive” cognitive labor — mental tasks ranging from writing to studying to coding to simply brainstorming new ideas — can rapidly impair users’ intellectual ability and willingness to persist despite difficulty."

been dealing with some thoughts today. let's call this an exorcism (exartcism, if you will. okay, fine. maybe not).

There is more human-made #art out there than you could experience in a lifetime.
To suffer looking at AI slop instead is tragic, even before we consider the weighty ethical, environmental, or economic issues.
Support small creators and share things made by real humans.

A-fuckin’-men.
Community > Tech billionaires bullshit.
I fucking hate AI.
I just watched a video of a dog doing something that I thought was cool, and then someone pointed out to me that it was generated with AI. I hate that we have to research every new video, every new image, every new song, every new everything, to make sure it's not AI generated.
AI is ruining everything.

From a blog post by @wojtekpow
“We’re living in this moment right now where everybody is using AI to write software.”
No. With add due respect, this is wrong. To say such a thing does harm.
I get what the author is trying to say, but I beg all authors to choose their words carefully.
As long as I continue to write software you can never say “everybody is using AI to write software”.

We recently came across an amazing project called uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist.
As they describe it, it's:
A huge blocklist of manually curated sites (1000+) that contain AI generated content, for the purposes of cleaning image search engines (Google Search, DuckDuckGo, and Bing) with uBlock Origin or uBlacklist.
There's something really lovely at the top of the uBlock Origin filter list, just under the description, that brought us a small bit of very-much-needed joy, and we wanted to share it here with others 🫶
! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH
! Please support authentic artists! Whether it be commissions or donations, an amount of any size helps!
! I love you.
! You are valid.
! LGBTQ+ Rights!
! Keep your chin up--we will get through this together <33
! Have a happy day!

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.
I got an email from my bank with the subject line:
"Protect your business from AI-driven fraud."
So yeah, another win for AI, really improving the lives of... scammers?

If cops spoke like AI developers and AI users,
It wasn't me that shot you or my gun. It was a bullet with misalligned objectives.
ICE is employing literal bounty hunters...who are using shitty AI...fueled by invasive data brokers...to put people in horrific detention camps.
So, America, are you great again yet?

Welp. I've been using GitLab for over a decade and have been pretty happy with it. Deployed and maintained several instances, some personal, some for small hobby orgs, some for work.
But it looks like it is time to ditch GitLab for good:
> Software will be built by machines, directed by people. AI is the substrate on which future software gets built. Agents will plan, code, review, deploy, and repair.

Just a note to everyone - Pride Month is no excuse to use generative AI to make "happy PRIDE" posts, merch, or any image or text related to it.
Generative AI is funded by facists who hate LGBTQAI+ and who fund laws against us. It is the tool of the enemy we all should resist together - not generate useless slop that muddies the message with AI vomit.
Using it shows no care, no love, and no solidarity.

And related to this, #Blender already has Claude slop commits.

So, today I was called a "Luddite" because I don't like AI.
Call me what you want, but when it comes to folks losing their jobs, data centers sucking up our water and causing higher energy bills for people already struggling, LLMs being trained on stolen data, and so many other ethical issues, I won't budge or back down on how I feel.
I will proudly accept the Luddite label. I've been around for nearly 60 years and have had a pretty shitty go of it the past 5 or so years. You can't hurt my feelings.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@mttaggart/116371937587992264
I think the way I would put it is:
1) The point of the AI project is ideological; the goal is to reshape industries such that we are dependent on AI companies' products, and to destroy free and open knowledge such that we are dependent on these products for thought and reasoning. We see an injection of AI into cybersecurity, while simultaneously drawing money and resources away from (boring) efforts that would actually broadly improve cybersecurity.¹ We see an injection of AI into knowledge acquisition, while simultaneously polluting the landscape of the internet as a useful source of knowledge. Both are in service of the same ideological project, and working towards the same goal.
2) The touted usefulness of AI for programming and cybersecurity is directly funding the project to expand it everywhere else, where it is causing massive harms to civil society, individuals' mental health, and the information landscape. You or your company paying for these products is keeping investment money flowing and extending the runway, for AI companies to reach that point of "indispensability". There is no divorcing your cool shiny toy from the creation of AI deepfakes that destroy democracy, or the AI psychosis that destroys lives. This is because the AI companies are pursuing an ideological project that ultimately has nothing to do with improving people's work or their lives; the leaders of these companies have loudly and publicly said that very clearly. You are laundering the reputation of these companies and keeping them alive, when the only moral option is to destroy them.
I've said this elsewhere, but: Maybe you, who are reading this, is offended by this framing, because you use and enjoy the AI tools. But it's also likely that you, and many other technologists, take moral abdication almost as a point of pride, where the only thing that matters is "capability". In that case, I don't understand the defensive response. Why are you uncomfortable being described as the thing you're bragging to be?
¹ The stark contrast: The breathless and brainless promotional posts about Glasswing came into my feed at the same time as the posts about the final gutting of CISA. https://www.securityweek.com/white-house-seeks-to-slash-cisa-funding-by-707-million/
