Do Not Talk To Me About "AI"

I had some cards printed up.

These are unlikely to change any minds, but they will defintely shorten some incredibly tedious conversations at the bar.

Here's a PDF if you'd like some of your own.

WTF?!?

DICHIARAZIONE DEL COLLETTIVO A/I SULLE SANZIONI DISPOSTE DAL GOVERNO USA NEI SUOI CONFRONTI – A STATEMENT BY A/I COLLECTIVE ABOUT US SANCTIONS

Oggi abbiamo appreso che il governo degli Stati Uniti ha deciso di inserire un piccolo collettivo di volontari e attivisti digitali italiani nell'elenco delle organizzazioni terroristiche mondiali meritevoli di sanzioni, come si può leggere nelle dichiarazioni del Dipart

Mozilla CEO writes about "AI":

"In a world where companies are forcing AI on users, the most compelling thing Firefox can do is stick with what we do best: give users choice and agency."

No. The best thing you can do is build a browser that works best for the user, that does not alienate them from the Internet and the people building it. This is a dumb attempt to do more "Mozilla does the good AI" PR. But there is no "good AI". And translations are not what people talk about when they say "AI" which that guy knows.

He didn't learn shit from the backlash. This is just "we will do more AI, good AI, until you like it".

jesus fuck

torvalds isn’t making a small amount of money off of the AI companies funding the Linux Foundation. he’s making fucking *bank* forcing LLMs into the kernel development workflow and turning his project into slop.

it’s always interesting finding out exactly what number it takes to make these small men compromise on what they pretended were their core values, and for Linus that’s $1.5 million a year. $1.5 million to ruin the good work he was known for.

what number do you think it took the other maintainers to compromise on their proclaimed values and sell out their life’s work? I can guarantee you it was a lower number. Linus is a particularly high value target, and the devil’s deal from the AI corporations is that you’re supposedly accepting money in exchange for ushering in the future.

when a small man in power’s paycheck is contingent on believing he’s saving the world, you won’t convince him otherwise. https://tiny.tilde.website/@lykso/117083416791403736
