  1. CW: AI, books

    @anthropy Not weird at all. I’ve looked but not found any *direct* evidence at all of book shredding, not even Amazon which was widely re-reported. No photos. No identified whistleblower. BBC followup reported a secondhand shop selling 3 boxes of books - which is evidence of what exactly? I posted once on #AmazonVGT3. The book shredding story had people justly riled, but is it a story intended to rile people? Apparently Musk said people shouldn’t shred books. Is it all part of an #AIHype machine?

  2. We are not getting "Artificial General Intelligence" from anything like the current systems (or ever, probably). This from Marty Hart-Landsberg:

    "All multimodal generative AI systems are built using the same basic architecture, one based on largescale pattern recognition shaped by training data and statistical prediction, which makes it incapable of serving as a bridge to anything resembling AGI. This structure also limits its usefulness. Among the most serious problems: the amplification of biases and falsehoods contained in the training data and the tendency to hallucinate or present incorrect or entirely fabricated information as factual. These problems are a major reason why AI developers felt it necessary to pursue a growth strategy that relied on heavily subsidizing the cost of using their systems."

  12. anderes, ebenso geiles, neues Feature in #MSOutlook bei meinem Konzern?

    Jeden Morgen poppt ein Button auf, der mir anbietet mir per LLM meine nächtlichen Mails zusammenfassen zu lassen.

    Sowohl Funktionsweise als auch Resultat sind ein wunderbares #AIHype #Symbolbild!

  13. #openai

    So much for their entire business model. Maybe openai will break even by 2050 - or is that too optimistic.?

    OpenAI cuts prices for two of its GPT-5.6 AI models as companies grow sensitive to costs.
    the price of two of its latest artificial intelligence models, GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-5.6 Luna.
    The company said it is reducing the price of Terra by 20% and the cost of Luna by 80%.

    .. or maybe #openai is hyping this story up to make its ai look more sentient than it actually is (which in reality is - not sentient at all)

  16. #Google fired her for refusing to retract it in 2020. The firing itself proved the point she was making. The people who pay for the system can't afford to hear what's wrong with it. Every warning from Timnit Gebru's "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots" has now come true. At scale. Hallucinations, bias amplification, environmental cost, un-auditable training data, model collapse.

  17. This Emily Bender post has my new favorite acronym:

    Frequently Unasked Questions = FUQ!

    OK, probably not new, but it was new to me! 😁

    "What I am trying to do, in a world absolutely saturated with marketing selling the idea that the synthetic text extruding machines are 'AI', or maybe even 'AGI', is to help people understand what these systems actually are: systems designed to mimic the language … that people use."

  18. «KI macht kaputt — Ein Dutzend Beispiele dafür, wie der KI-Hype alles erstickt. Beflügelt von KI?
    Wir erleben gerade die größte technologische Disruption aller Zeiten – und wenn nicht die größte, dann sicherlich die schnellste. Enorme Produktivitätssteigerungen, wissenschaftliche Durchbrüche. Sie kennen das Narrativ.»

    Gibt es über die KI auch positive Artikel die fachlich und keine Werbungen sind?

  19. RE: mastodon.thenewoil.org/@thenew

    So sad, another case of #AIhype crossing the blood-brain barrier, skipping the part of your brain that always asks „but why?”.

    Yes, #LLM #chatbot​s have a inherent econonic #privacy problem, but … that's not our biggest problem with them.
    Yes, Trump reeks of old man stench, but that really is not our biggest problem with him.

    What a waste of time and talent.

  20. Global equities closed 2025 strong, but the rally was narrow and uneven. Moreover, India was among the weakest major markets. As 2026 begins, can easing global headwinds and better earnings help Indian equities recover? Today’s Number Theory explores this.

  21. I recommend this blog post everyone as it explains in plain English how #AI LLMs actually work, and why they are fundamentally not fit for purpose:

    vivaldi.com/blog/technology/vi

    Yes they can be useful, but the takeaway is that their flaws are FUNDAMENTAL i.e. they cannot be fixed 😳

    So we shouldn't be shoving them into everything, especially government!

    Well done @Vivaldi for not falling for the #AIhype

  22. Aaaaaand people finally learn the difference between #exponential and #logarithmic curves.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Glad we have that sorted out - I was a bit worried that people wouldn't understand #statistics and the law of large numbers.

    Ok, took us just...*check notes* almost 3 years to arrive at that fact.

    Can we move on now!?

  23. Here's a very sober - and sobering - overview of the problem with rushing into AI adoption, presented this morning by Center for Humane Technology.

    AI is:
    - Hallucinating
    - Affirming wrong information
    - Leaving unprivileged people behind
    - Setting unprivileged people up for significant harm
    - Easily abused by bad actors

  25. Enjoy my happy robot friend tagging good and bad things. It’s so harmless because it’s a cartoon!

    “AI” robot friend would never ever misclassify YOU denying YOU a loan, job opportunity, or YOUR ability to organize for action. If that ever did happen you should know it only happens to OTHER people who aren’t YOU according to robot friend’s owners.
