The AI Labs say that it is not us.
Don't blame the AI monster, blame the Frankensteins that built it.

Who are the evil masterminds behind the alleged pending doom of civilization from AI?
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/oct/06/ai-sam-altman-billionaire-risks-openai
Is it the Frankensteins, or is it their creations the AI monsters?
The answer is the former.

Scarey rumours fly around the internet and social media about AI.
Is this just "AI washing" from the AI Labs?

Don't blame the Frankenstein AI monster - blame the Frankensteins who are creating the AI.

define "AI". i bet you it's not the "make plausible sounding shit up / pretend you know the answer when you're just stringing random strings together" genAI/LLM shit that we're being told is the future and we should just get with the programme... #AI #LLM #boosters #AIwashing

"These mandates have led to extremely strange places. Several of my peers now “
'AI-wash' their work, meaning that even when they can perfectly competently execute on their jobs to the satisfaction of their management teams, said managers are unhappy if the engineers haven’t used AI in the work… so now they’re lying about using LLMs even in contexts where their professional judgement is that they aren’t the appropriate tool."#NikhilSuresh, 2026

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116701458400797917
Closely related to the capex trap is the "AI washing" that we hear every time big tech fires thousands of employees.
The capital structures to fund the massive trillion dollar data center spending will make the quarterly reports real ugly. A significant drop in stock price kind of ugly.
Firing thousands of employees is a way to patch this.
But tech executives are never honest about it, like they're never honest about anything they say. Instead they attempt to placate the market with some made up excuse like, "we are reorganizing the business for the next phase of hyper-efficient, AI-driven, automated future". The mere mention of AI buys them some extra stock hype levitation, provides some shield for their own bonuses, and obscures their mismanagement of the business.
They really are obsessive, habitual liars.

After #RSAC Conference 2026, every booth was screaming the same thing: AI, AI, AI. 😱
So Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli sat back down with Lisa Liu, Corporate Marketing and Communications Manager at Stellar Cyber, to ask what was actually true on that show floor — and what was just a sticker.
Stellar Cyber has been building machine learning into its platform since 2015, long before AI became the default marketing label. Lisa pulls no punches on the AI-washing problem, the difference between a marketing label and an architectural decision, and why a "fully autonomous SOC" is exactly the part of the pitch that should set off your alarm bells.
A huge thank you to the team at Stellar Cyber for joining us on this journey — both on the floor at hashtag#RSAC2026 and in the recap. We loved sharing your story and we're looking forward to many more conversations ahead. 🙌
📍 Where are we headed next? Glad you asked: Infosecurity Europe and Black Hat USA — see you there.

Learned a new Term yesterday: #AIwashing !
What does AI-washing mean? It's similar to greenwashing. Claim that something is caused by / made because of X while in reality the reason is totally different.
2 examples:
1.) Facebook to lay off 20% of it's employees because of "AI will replace them".
Reality: Zuckerberg dumped billions USD into MetaVerse without any revenue.
It was really a dumb idea in the first place - even before AI...1/2

#Meta is reportedly considering #layoffs affecting 20% of its workforce to offset spending on #AIinfrastructure and #AIacquisitions. This comes amid a trend of tech companies announcing layoffs, with some suggesting these cuts are “#AIwashing” to mask other issues. Meta employed nearly 79,000 people as of December 31, according to a recent filing. https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/14/meta-reportedly-considering-layoffs-that-could-affect-20-of-the-company/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Jack Dorsey's Block Accused of 'AI-Washing' to Excuse Laying Off Nearly Half Its Workforce - Slashdot
｢ Block more than tripled its employee base between 2019 and 2022, growing from 3,835 to 12,430 workers. The company's stock had fallen 40% since early 2025, creating pressure to cut costs. "This is more about the business being bloated for so long than it is about AI," ｣

CW: Political economy
Soo the #technology press is exposing the #aiwashing used as a cover for all the #layoffs. I wonder if #AI also is being used to hide the actual users and usage of #datacenters. #AI is probably a softer sell than #cryptomining . 🤔 #journalists attack!

Block eliminated over 4,000 jobs while posting record quarterly profits of $2.87B. CEO Dorsey attributed cuts to AI efficiency gains but provided no evidence of actual displacement. The stock jumped 24%, adding ~$8 billion in market value. That reward signal may incentivize other executives to follow the same playbook regardless of AI's actual impact on productivity.

@drcaberry there are indeed a plethora of programs but I'm talking about what happens after the students finish the programs. What happens to open up careers for them in this country? I'm looking at the attack on #DEI cutting off access to many of the companies that would hire them. And don't get me started about the #tech #layoffs and #aiwashing.

'#AI is more a pretext for the whims of management than it is a job-stealer. This is called “#AIwashing” in the words of Brian Merchant, who said of the mass Amazon layoffs at the end of last year that firing thirty-thousand workers because cutting-edge AI technology can replace them sounds a lot better to investors than firing workers to cut costs because the company is over-leveraging itself on #dataCenters or worried about earnings.'

Workado promoted its AI Content Detector as 98% accurate in detecting whether text was written by AI or a human. However, independent testing showed that the accuracy rate for general-purpose content was only 53%. The FTC alleges that Workado violated the FTC Act because the 98% claim was "false, misleading, or non-substantiated." https://nitter.net/LuizaJarovsky/status/1962973032588173449
