#fuckgenai — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #fuckgenai, aggregated by home.social.

  1. The preprint server arXiv is now explicitly banning people for a year for posting GenAI slop in papers AND forcing them to get future papers into reputable papers after that. So basically fully rescinding preprint publishing privileges on their site!

    We need more consequences like this!

  3. Computer Science for 60+ years: We've made these machines that can follow instructions EXACTLY and do it consistently and repeatedly at high speed. And they're getting faster AND smaller OR more power-efficient!

    Computer Science for the last few years: What if we THROW ALL THAT AWAY and instead we make it so that you've got to imprecisely and inefficiently tell the machine what to do AND WHAT NOT TO DO, and every response is a crapshoot as to whether it a) works, b) gives the same answer as before and c) isn't making stuff up. Please don't compare energy bills.

  5. Unfortunately, today's work required me to edit the part of the system that calls OpenAI. And…

    I don't think I can overstate just how much I *hate* every single interaction with GenAI. It's viscerally unpleasant and actively soul-destroying.

    If my choice is between interacting with a turn-of-the-millennium Flash site or prompting a chat bot then I'm taking the Flash site. Every. Single. Time.

    If my career options end up as "continue to be a Data Engineer but you've got to do everything with GenAI now" or "become a Windows SysAdmin for a secondary school (11-16 year olds)" then the ONLY thinking I'm doing is "what needs to change so that we can afford the pay cut" 😐

  7. Just added `Header always set Content-Usage train-ai=n;search=y` to my web server on the off-chance that even ONE GenAI company is vaguely legitimate and starts honouring "AI Usage Preferences with Content in HTTP" at some point.

    Based on the CC Signals repo linked from hachyderm.io/@michaelrhanson/1 (Note: The Creative Commons doc gets the values in the examples wrong compared to what's currently in the IETF draft)

  8. "Large Language Models (LLMs) are poised to disrupt knowledge work, with the emergence of delegated work as a new interaction paradigm (e.g., vibe coding)."

    And BOY are these LLMs going to disrupt your work 😆

  9. Reading the "Artificial Confidence" newsletter after Corey Quinn forcefully subscribed all of us Last Week in AWS subscribers to it.

    Seems it's going to be the same snark and insight, but for AI.

    This week:
    * Anthropic are "keeping prices the same" by charging the same rate per million tokens… except that Opus 4.7 uses a different tokeniser that generates up to 35% more tokens!
    * AWS now lets Bedrock agents pay for stuff autonomously "[solving] my biggest pain point as a customer: not being able to pay for things without human supervision. Er… wat?"
    * "Microsoft Research published a paper on Monday with the genuinely on-brand title “LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate.”" with bonus "adding an agentic harness with tools makes performance 6% worse on average"(!)
    * "Cerebras is “profitable” in roughly the same way you are profitable in a year you cleaned out the storage unit."
    * The all-powerful super-scary Anthropic Mythos model was run against cURL and found five "confirmed" vulnerabilities… which, after review, were three already documented false-positives, a non-security bug and a low severity CVE. So awesome. Many bugs. Much help 🙃

    (It is, unfortunately, on Substack 😐)

  10. Me at work: Here's an example of where Copilot performed "analysis" of data based on tags and pre-existing training instead of the (actually identical) data it was given. And then it bullshitted some statistics when probed. Be careful when you trust GenAI to do analysis for you.

    Colleague: Everyone knows that Copilot is rubbish.

    Me, in my head: Yes, that's exactly the message to take home here 🙄

  11. Does anyone have any good recommendations on things to put in an `llms.txt` file on your website? Apparently it's a pseudo-standard now and LLMs may read it to get a "better understanding" of your website before processing it.

    Page 21: "In 1664, Joseph Weizenbaum, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, developed a chatbot called Eliza."

    Who knew that MIT was around 100 years before the USA became a thing _and_ was already creating the Eliza chatbot 😐

  13. Mozilla has an article on "Creative Purpose at the Dawn of AI"

    Surely it's the same as it's always been? If you have a creative purpose then you're creative.

    If you generate GenAI slop and call it "art" then you have zero creative purpose and can fuck right off with any claims of being an "artist" and admit that you're a commissioner or director AT BEST.

    But this is a Mozilla article, of course. So it's all "AI is fine if you just pretend that you're using it differently!" 🙄

  18. I reported an ad on a social network because of this a few months back. The answer that I got back was "no action - totally fine and within policy".

    When it comes to dealing with the explosion in GenAI then society is SCREWED because important groups can't be arsed to do anything 😐

  19. Wow. I'm *so* glad that I've been using Tumbleweed for a decade or more. But I may have to stop recommending openSUSE. Because I can't condone putting ANYONE through "AI-powered onboarding".

    Just cut that shit out and give people a proper onboarding guide!

    The OpenPrint "AI-powered portal" seems equally dumb on the face of it for causing hallucination-driven issues when people are most in need of accurate information.

    And it's disappointing to see that the Summer of Code is being used to integrate slop generation into Drupal.

    I'm just hoping that DigiKam is basically doing a nice, sensible embedding-based search.

    It's great that people want to get involved. I just wish that they all wanted to (positively) contribute.

  21. "I love woodworking so much that I now tell robots to assemble flat pack furniture" said no carpenter every.

    "I love baking so much that I started buying cakes from the shop and smashing them together" said no baker ever.

    "I love painting miniatures so much that I now just kit-bash parts that my 3D printer already printed in the correct colours" said no wargamer ever.

    "I trained in a trade to build really nice brick walls, and that's why I love spending my days watching a robot 3D-print generic walls in concrete" said no brickie/builder ever.

    "I love driving so much that I can't wait until my job is programming in an address and letting the self-driving car drive us there, while I have to be ready to take control in the event of an accident to take on the liability" said no professional driver ever.

    So why are there software engineers like this? 🤨

  22. A colleague shared an AI Developer talk in the work Slack channels. The speaker talks about how they're SO excited about software development now.

    They also said (in the same presentation) "now you're an AI agent manager".

    I feel sorry for the kind of person who gets that excited about delegating work to mindless drones that it's the best time they've had in decades 😐

    It must be the pachinko machine effect of "push button, get outcome (which is sometimes good - or at least acceptable)".

  23. What's that? You've got a "legitimate" use case for your GenAI bot probing my website?

    Fuck off, no you don't.

    (If you use it for accessibility, despite ALL of its shortcomings and issues, then that's a CLIENT-SIDE thing - keep it to yourself and don't inflict it on me)

  24. Sick of GenAI agents. Put a bunch of rules in to trigger Fail2Ban on various LLM-related URLs, including /llms.txt

    Running an agent that probes for that file? Fuck off, you're now blocked from my server.

  25. Formula E has an amazing new feature on its website. As well as a dashboard with positions and timings and other stats during a race, you can get "Generative Commentary" so that you can "stay across every lap of the race with AI-powered intelligent commentary so you don’t miss a beat!"

    Because apparently some people felt that the often-incorrect-or-unimportant bullshit that they put on the bottom of the TV commentary every so often wasn't enough? 😐

    At least the commentators have a FUCKING PERSONALITY when they waffle about shit and made an informed decision about the tidbits of information to drop in!

  27. Whenever I see GenAI toys or parents "entertaining" their kids with GenAI, I get a little bit of an understanding of how people let their kids lick leaded paint while huffing car exhaust fumes in the 1980s 😐

  28. Just saw people saying that Anthropic's Project Deal was "good". And that it shows that newer models are better.

    Except that the "good" metric was "sold stuff for more money" (which means that you're also paying more for everything, which isn't win-win, so it's only a win for capitalists counting the cash on the outside) and it made some really dumb transactions (buying your own snowboard) and showed all the signs you'd expect of being dangerous and untrustworthy in an uncontrolled public market (making up bullshit stories and random arbitrary rationalisations)

    The main take-home for me were:

    1) the convincing text machine can convincingly roleplay carefully managed low-stakes marketplace transactions (but value and outcomes are questionable)

    2) nearly 50% of employees at convincing text machine company would pay for a convincing text machine

  29. Trying to remember the last time that Visual Studio Code updated and I went "that's a useful feature" or "I'm glad they've fixed that" 😐

    It's all GenAI bullshit. I could just never update again and I literally wouldn't be missing ANYTHING!

  30. "If you add all the providers’ estimates up, Sommer said, you get 100 to 200 quadrillion tokens a year. But to achieve the the $2 trillion in annual spend Gartner calculated, providers would need to be generating, by conservative estimates, a cumulative 10 sextillion tokens per year. (To make that slightly less abstract, a quadrillion has 15 zeros, and a sextillion has 21.) Even assuming a very generous profit margin of 10 percent per token, that would mean that token consumption between now and 2030 would need to grow by 50,000–100,000x."

    Is a tulip bubble AND THEN SOME!

  32. Some companies are a) trusting to "AI" agents instead of hiring real people (which couldn't possibly go wrong) and b) returning to metrics that are basically "Lines of Code" but more expensive!

  37. Keskiyön aivojen tuuletusta osa 2

    - Töittä pitää tehä!...Ehekä...-

    Aikaisemmin jo tuuttailin Saksan työaika hömpötyksestä. (Sen aikaisemman instanssin yli)

    yle.fi/a/74-20212196

    Tämmöistä takapajuista "tehdään lisää duunia niin voidaan paremmin" ajattelulla ei kyllä saavuteta mitään järkevää. Ainoastaan väkisin väännettyä tehotonta työtä.

    Kyllähän se jo tiedetään että me ollaan tehokkaita vain se max 6 tuntia päivässä. 6 tuntia työtä pienillä tauoilla saavuttaa paljon enemmän kuin 8. Ja tätä on jo tutkittukkin:
    atlassian.com/blog/productivit

    (Tuossa yksi lähde asiaan joka käsittelee myös mallin haasteitakin)

    Ja nyt kun tekoäly hömppä alkaa saavuttaa huippunsa niin kaikki alkavat kohkaamaan että se "nyt muuttaa kaiken" ja "kohta pitää työ miettiä uudestaan":

    yle.fi/a/74-20214074

    Empä ole niin varma että se olisi tekosekoilu joka saa muutoksen aikaan. Nykyiset tekoälyt, jopa ne järkevät analyyttiset tehtävät eikä vain hallusinaatio generaattorit, ovat valkokaulus työntekijöiden harmina. Toiveet "duunari roboteista" ovat toki vaikuttamassa jo tietyillä sektoreilla mutta pitkä on vielä matka putkimies bottiin.

    Ja vaikka robottityökalut tai automatisoidut exelit tekisivätkin työtä tehokkaammin niin niitä käyttävät tahot palkkaavat vain vähemmän ihmisiä, eivät alenna työ aikaa tai nosta palkaa. Koska se ei ole suurien toimijoiden intresseissä. Jätetään pienempi määrä ihmisiä töihin koneiden kanssa, ei useampaa henkilöä kevyempään työhön.

    Valkokaulus työntekijöiden tapauksessa taas työajan väheneminen voisi jopa olla mahdollista automaatiolla joillekkin. Tässä vaan kasataan hyvää jo hyvä osaisille.

    Ei siis missään nimessä että toimiston työt olisi turhia tai tässäkin ryhmässä olisi alipalkattuja. Meillä mediassa käytävässä keskustelussa vaan on tullut hyvin valkokaulustyö keskeistä. Etätyö, työaikapankki ja nyt tekoäly ovat tälle ryhmälle olleet aina optioita. 3 vuoro työssä tehtaalla ei ole mitään neuvotteluvaraa työajasta. Varhaiskasvatuksen opettajalla ei ole etätöitä.

    Turhaa paperityötä saadaan kai automatisoitua vähän kaikkialla, mutta koska LLM mallit hallusinoivat ja varastavat kaiken oikeilta tekijöiltä niin emme todellakaan halua näitä järjestelmiä mihinkään tärkeään tehtävään. Viihteessä ja taiteessa ne taas ovat epäeettisiä taiteen raatelu koneita!

    Ei näin. En halua :blobsad:

    Parempi työelämä saavutetaan kun me lähdetään ajamaan työelämän sääntöjä INHIMILLISELTÄ pohjalta. Laitetaan työntekijä edelle, ei teknologia. Voidaan toimia tehokkaasti kun ihmiset voivat hyvin ja motivoituvat työhönsä sekä saavat tarpeeksi aikaa palautua. Ei ole laiskuutta jos haluaa tehdä työnsä tehokkaasti ja mennä sitten tekemään jotain muuta.

    6 tunnin työpäivät, 4 päiväinen työviikko tai muu malli missä lisäämme vapaa aikaa on tarpeeseen. Vapaa ajan lisääminen nostaa oikein tehtynä työtehoa ja hyvinvointia. Hyvin voiva ihminen luo, elää, kuluttaa ja kokee. Tämä oli jo huomattu ennen tekoälyä, ja ei siihen sitä edes tarvita.

    Mutta mitäpä tästä minä tietäisin. Olen vain 15v ikäisestä saakka tehnyt jotain työtä osa-aikaisesti ja sitten täyttä viikkoa ja 40h.

    Kun olin Yliopisto opiskelija niin hommaa riitti (se joka väittää että menestyvä maisteritason opiskelija on laiska saa itse kokeilla miltä se 100 sivuisen gradun teko tuntuu!) Mutta silloin minulla oli myös kontrollia enemmän. Silloin oli aikaa harrastuksille ja luovuudelle. En kaipaa sinne takaisin, silloin olin nuori ja tyhmä sekä path of exileä ei vielä ollut julkaistu. Mutta sitä aikaa kylläkin...

    Ollen ollut esimerkin varhaiskasvattaja, ja nyt olen se 3 vuoro työntekijä... olen myös se jota väsyttää usein, jolta jää luovuus väliin, jolla ei ole aikaa :blob_sweat:

    PS: Aina tulee varmaan olemaan työtä missä pitää tehdä pitkiä vuoroja. Poliisi, pelastaja tai muu tärkeä tehtävä. Näitä töitä pitää myöskin miettiä mutta varmaan vähän eri tavoin.

    PPS: leipäteksti loppui masentavasti mutta nykyinen työni on ihan OK. Saan tehdä osana vuorotyötä välistä yö vuoroa mistä tykkään. Auttaa lepoa kun ei tartte herätä herätyskelloon vaan silloin kun ei enää nukuta. Ja puoliso @chromatominna pakottaa aina lepäämään kun ukko käy kierroksilla :blobcoffee:

  38. Non niin. Aikaisemmin olin niin käsi fediversen kanssa että laitoin tilit mastodon.socialiin. Eihän se 500 merkin raja riitä mihinkään Suomen kielen kanssa! Semmoiset yleiset sanat kuin "kolmivaihdevaihtovirtakilovattituntimittari" syö kaiken tilan! Joten jos joku seuraili aijemmin ja ihmettelee minne hävisin niin täällä nyt tuuttaillaan mementomorin.social kautta.

    Olen Joensuulainen Vasemmisto aktiivi. Korkeasti koulutettu humanisti josta tuli onnellinen duunari...toistaiseksi ainakin.

    Pääosin tämän kautta ajattelin tuuttailla politiikkaa tai yhteiskunnallisia asioita. Kai sitä tulee joskus kevenneltyäkin ja jaettua muutakin. Varsinkin jos kerran omistaa ison karvaisen koiran joka syö liikaa ja yrittää joka kevät tuhota puutarhaa niin silloin kai se lukee jo säännöissä että koirakuvia on PAKKO jakaa :doge:

    Maailman ja kotimaan meno hirvittää:

    kansainvälilnen politiikka - suurvallat sekoilee!

    Suomen politiikka - oikeistotaloususkovaiset sekoilee!

    Ympäristö - kapitalistit kaataa ja tappaa kaiken!

    Internet - tekoälyt ja techbro tyypit sekoilee!

    Mutta apatiaan en alistu! Uskon vahvasti sanontaan:
    "Tuhon aikaan täytyy luoda jotakin" Tiedän että Vasemmistolla on vaihtoehto. Tiedän myös että hyvin suuri osa meistä alkaa ajatella samoin. Entä jos kokeiltaisiin jotain muuta välissä? #Vasemmisto

    Alan olla sen verran vanha milleniaali että muistan kun kaupallinen some oli vielä hyvä....tai oikeammin sanottuna ei vielä niin paska. Niinpä fediversessä näen sosiaalisen viestinnän järkevän tulevaisuuden ja vaihtoehdon. Kotona pyöriin linux mint koneet ja uusin windows minkä olen asentanut on XP retropeli koneeseen. Puhelimena Fairphone mistä google sai kenkää ja äkkiä! #fuckbigtech #fairphone #e_OS

    Inhoa generatiivista tekoälyä! Analyyttinen tekoäly voi oikeasti toimia tehokkaana työkaluna. Mutta jätetään luominen, ajattelu ja taide IHMISILLE ja IHMISTEN työlle! #fuckai #fuckgenai

    Tämmöisä. Morjensta kaikille. Kaikkea mitä kirjoitan saa ja tuleekin kommentoida ja kyseenalaistaa. En ole edes oman elämäni messias. Ainoastaan vähän lukihäröinen joka haluaa parantaa asioita.

  42. The PR author made changes! So at least it's not a "slop and forget" change.

    However, all of their responses have that horrific obsequious tone of LLMs.

    And one of my comments was "this call to openFile() seems to render the file, which would be inefficient for multiple files - can you just add it to the database instead?" and their response was "Good point, I've fixed it to be less complicated and more efficient"…

    …and then they simplified the OTHER function (which did have more complex async for unexplained reasons)… and it STILL uses the function that I said was inefficient 🙄

    Meanwhile, the comments on "this change seems unrelated" got "you're right, that was included by accident, I've reverted it".

    I'm calling slop, and I hate the state of the world.
