Since 'intelligence' in AI is a graph search, why do they seem to think like humans?

Heres what my university degree in algorithmics taught me about AI.

All AI algorithms can be reduced down to graph search. A graph search algorithm is defined by functions 'test', 'expand' and 'combine'.

Yesterday I attended the first major protest against AI data centres in Vancouver. There was a solid turnout, more than I expected for an event organized by a teen who'd never run a protest and just put out some Instagram posts and physical posters on a few main streets. At least 300, maybe over 400 people? I'm trying to be conservative in my guesses.

Speaking to the crowd, the top concerns were the social and cultural effects of AI (misinformation, disconnection, undermining the arts), then environmental concerns (Vancouver is already under water restrictions due to drought; fossil fuel buildup for AI; etc), then prioritization (why is money and space going to this instead of housing, healthcare, etc). A few other topics came up less often, like economic effects.

The group shut down traffic on two of Vancouver's biggest streets, Granville and Broadway, including the Granville Street Bridge. They also passed through Granville Island, one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Canada.

We resist #AI where ever we can, no AI features, no AI agents allowed, no AI feeds. Even our translation is using non-AI

Unfortunately we are now also paying the price for the AI hype.. Our monthly server costs has increased by almost €200 because of this

We keep standing up against AI but we do need your help..

#NoAI

I was struck (not in a good way) by this post.
https://mastodon.social/@JoBlakely/116776799630752498

During a layoff, years ago, I helped folks update their resumés. I was appalled: the men's were like "I invented the laser" (not true) & the women's were tentative & self-effacing.

Now, for our stressed, unemployed colleagues, LLMs elevate this "average behaviour" to best practice?

Misogyny is *embedded* in the tool. It's been trained (by humans) on all the evidence of our societal dysfunctions & inequalities. #noAI

🤬🤬🤬

Fellow AI haters! Only one week left before (some) sloperators have to pay (kind of) realistic prices for their precious tokens! What shall we call this glorious and hilarious day?

Just a reminder that Vancouver School Board have still given no pedagogical reason for making Copilot available in schools.

They have so far said:

"AI is inevitable."
That's a belief, not a reason.

"Students need to learn how to use AI."
It takes 10 minutes of on-the-job training.

New front in the data center resistance: underwater.

"DeepGreen Western Passage SPV LLC" sounds like some kind of shell company created by one of the bigger players.

Suellen Hendrix, an Eastport resident, told councilors she believes “billionaire investors” have little interest in the city’s welfare, calling underwater data centers an “understudied industry” and urging the City Council to enact a moratorium.

“This man (Wolfson) is a one‑percenter,” Hendrix said. “He doesn’t care about us. There’s a reason he isn’t building it in Cape Cod, where he lives, and he’s choosing Eastport.”

Right on.

From Eastport residents push City Council to oppose DeepGreen’s underwater AI data center, https://themainemonitor.org/residents-push-eastport-oppose-data-center/

CANADIAN AI HATERS SHOW UP this Saturday June 27th! Especially if you're in a location where a data centre is being proposed.

And ESPECIALLY if you're a programmer / tech worker / computer toucher. The animators and artists have been consistently out there doing the work, we need to start growing a spine (:

The info is on the third image of the quoted text, but I'll pull it out here:

• Vancouver, 1pm - Art Gallery (Robson St. side)
• Victoria, 1pm - Victoria City Hall
• Kamloops, 1pm - Kamloops Courthouse
• Edmonton, 2pm - Alberta Legislature Steps
• Grande Prairie, 2pm - Grande Prairie City Hall
• Red Deer, 2pm - Red Deer City Hall
• Calgary, 2pm - Calgary City Hall
• Regina, 1pm - Victoria Park
• Moose Jaw, 2pm - Moose Jaw City Hall
• Hamilton, 1pm - Hamilton City Hall
• Toronto, 1pm - Toronto City Hall
• Halifax, 1pm - Halifax Pier
• Lorneville, 1pm - King’s Square

Silent Sunday & World Parrot Day ❤️ 🦜

non-vibe coded terminal recommendations?

what are folks using these days?

preferably something which supports the kitty graphics protocol

#CLI #Terminal #noAI #Linux

I hope they all opt out. Seriously, fuuuuuck Google's "AI overview."

I still recommend using No AI DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, and SearXNG instead.

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.

The only thing I like about LLMs is when they BURN the owners of those LLMs 😂

I wonder how long this will last before DDG does a 180 and breaks this link or otherwise makes it almost impossible to find? https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ #NoAI

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]

It's funny that I've often complained about #Debian being long in the tooth, but now I'm kinda considering sticking with #Trixie until 2030-06-30 (end of #LTS).

...becase it's relatively #slop-free, at least in "base."

Nothing that humans made up is inevitable.

The technologies we use are choices we make. The governments we elect are choices we make. The regulations we design are choices we make.

All of it can be changed, reversed, banned, and is indeed evitable.

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.

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

It's all fucked, Blender went dark.

Not to mention one user has specifically admitted to using AI code review for commits that are in Blender's codebase.

I like the motivation of the Godot #NoAI policy because its focus is on the community and people. it's really well written.

the quality/efficiency debate has always been a red herring. you don't need to go there.
