I disagree with this update. Here is the follow up to the article I shared yesterday. Personally I think it’s OK if everybody is feeling a little bit emotional about their hero willingly using a technology that is rooted in a lot of all kinds of systemic oppression. To me, I hate this need for every figure people look up to to be perfect, but I do not expect anybody I actively promote to turn on a dime when it’s convenient for them. Anybody that calls this emotional response purity anything is missing the point. The point is about being frustrated because people appear to stop caring.

The #US gov classified #Anthropic as a "threat to national security" because they didn't want to chance their policy to allow

- Mass surveillance
- Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems

Don't get me wrong, I have no love for #AI (#LLM) but this is how #CORRUPT the US government is

The gov are the ones who are a threat to national security 🇺🇸

No matter how esoteric AI literature has become, and no matter how thoroughly the intellectual origins of AI's technical methods have been forgotten, the technical work of AI has nonetheless been engaged in an effort to domesticate the Cartesian soul into a technical order in which it does not belong. The problem is not that the individual operations of Cartesian reason cannot be mechanized (they can be) but that the role assigned to the soul in the larger architecture of cognition is untenable. This incompatibility has shown itself up in a pervasive and ever more clear pattern of technical frustrations. The difficulty can be shoved into one area or another through programmers' choices about architectures and representation schemes, but it cannot be made to go away.

From Phil Agre's 1995 article The Soul Gained And Lost.

If one were to continue the genealogy in this article from 1995 to present, one would find many of the same issues inherent in Cartesian dualism present in large language models. Like the STRIPS system Agre surveys, LLMs also generate sequences. They also must make choices among many available options at each step of sequence generation. They also use heuristics to guide this process that would otherwise explode intractably. The heuristics, or what Agre dubs "determining tendency", are random number generators and "guardrails" in LLMs instead of the tree-structured search of previous-generation AI systems. But otherwise the systems are structured similarly.

It's fascinating, but not coincidental, that the determining tendency of AI systems like these is so often perceived to have mystical or even God-like qualities. Breathless predictions about the endless potential of tree-structured search in early writing on GOFAI resembles modern proclamations of imminent AGI or superintelligence among generative AI boosters because both of these mechanisms---tree search or random number generation---are situated where the Cartesian soul would be. These mysterious determining tendencies, homunculuses of last resort, or souls are timeless, acausal factors that choose a single path from an infinite space of possibilities, and thereby direct the encompassing agent's behavior in an intelligent manner.

This is one reason why I posted the other day that if you removed the random number generation from LLMs, the illusion of their intelligence would more than likely quickly evaporate. You'd be excising their soul, leaving behind a zombie!

#TIL that HDD prices also increased (because of "AI") like the SSD/memory prices before. I was slowly building my home NAS, thinking that if I use HDD, not SSD, then I should race only with the possibility of Internet shutdown in my country and hope that I'll build the machine before the Internet will become unusable or completely turned off, and I will be able to preserve at least something from human knowledge and creativity. But … looks like for now I should race not only with censorship, but also with fucking "AI" corporations

The worst timeline ever, I never saw how the price of something was decreased in my life. When I moved to my city at 2008, the bus fare was near 18 roubles. For now it is 88 roubles — the 389% rise. Fuck this shit.

I think, one time the novel "Walkaway" from Cory Doctorow will become not a novel but a real-life. Because there are no mass-adopted solution for now — you could choose only in between "you own nothing and be happy" and "you own nothing and welcome to GULAG" . So the good enough solution — not to participate in that circus at all and walk away.

I've been increasingly concerned about the corporate monopoly over frontier LLMs. While many ethically-minded people choose to boycott these models, I believe passive resistance alone cannot break the structural grip of big tech. To truly “liberate” these technologies and turn them into public goods, we need to look beyond moral high grounds and engage with the material basis of AI—specifically compute, data, and the relations of production.

I've written two posts exploring this through the lens of historical materialism. The first piece analyzes why current “open source” definitions struggle with LLMs, and the second discusses what it means to “act materialistically” in our imperfect world. My goal is to suggest a path forward that moves from mere boycotting to a more proactive, structural socialization of AI infrastructure.

If you've been feeling uneasy about the AI landscape but aren't sure if boycotting is the final answer, I'd love for you to give these a read:

"AI is writing 90% of our code" sounds impressive before you realize that AI-generated code is orders of magnitude more verbose & less efficient than code written by a professional software engineer.

But "we ship 9 lines of fluff for each line of code that does something" doesn't sound as impressive.

Hm, it seems a lot #AI (#LLM) bots (not RSS) on the #Fediverse are using xml or xss as source for their posts

Another extra checkpoint!

This is what true accessibility looks like! My own edited paraphrased title.

The claim "you won't be replaced by AI, but by a person using AI" is nonsense. The Block layoff victims were some of the most productive, #llm pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what layoffs are about.

The layoff script goes, as always:
- overhire
- lay everyone off
- pretend it's because of #AI productivity gains
- stock go up

There is no individual solution that will protect you from bad leadership and cost cutting.

Workers who love ‘synergizing paradigms’ might be bad at their jobs

Employees who are impressed by vague corporate-speak like “synergistic leadership,” or “growth-hacking paradigms” may struggle with practical decision-making, a new Cornell study reveals.

I tried reading this article replacing variations of "corporate" with "LLM" and it works. Right down to the "LLM Bullshit Receptivity Scale (LBSR)".

I can't but laugh sooo hard at the #Anthropic #Claude leak

Code is rewritten a bunch of times already to avoid legal bs lol

It proves again it's mostly just an illusion

If you make your work open source you don't have to worry about your shitty code "leaking"

Google CEO tries to tell University students to love AI. They tell him to BOO off.

It is good to see kids are saying no and fighting back. Do you know why? Because the future of bots, AI and robots doesn't offer any jobs to these young kids. They know greedy AI companies want to get rid of working class. It is simple as that.

Currently you are all working for Bigtech and YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT. you are the PRODUCT when you should be making the #LIONS_SHARE CALLED A #PROFIT! 🤑

Why do you continue to drive traffic to 3rd party CENTRALIZED WEB SITES called Social Networks making them a fortune while you get paid pie crumbs when you should be driving traffic to your own sites and/or Video Podcast SELLING your own PRODUCTS and SERVICES for your OWN HUGE profit and making the 🦁 LIONS SHARE for YOU, YOUR COMPANY and YOUR #OWN FAMILY??

Not some 3rd party CENTRALIZED UN-TRUSTED COPYCAT Surveillance APPLICATION or worse dishit useless #Social_Media Platforms.

Aka someone else s family..

What do all the centralized services do? They scour the Internet with 🤖 🤖 🤖 #BOTS AS DUMB AS YOUR CELLPHONE AND #COPY ALL YOUR #PAGES, #IMAGES and #code (CODE ONLY IF AN APP in unsecured app stores >>

#HTML ONLY ON WWW BUT CANNOT COPY #CODE;) from any SITE ON THE www NET if using the correct software stack??

#AI huh UNDER ANOTHER NAME?? Its #copyright_Infringement! = MASSIVE #IP_THEFT.

NEWS FLASH THE DUMB PHONES were DUMBED DOWN FIRST. Now you are being dumbed down even further by worthless COPYCAT applications.
