  1. "The AI hype cycle would have you believe the technology is inevitable. But AI backlash is growing, as people worry it will steal their jobs, jack up electricity rates and further enrich the wealthy, all while hurting the environment.

    … Only 18% of young people ages 14 to 29 say they feel hopeful about AI, according to a recent Gallup survey.

    The disdain spans generations and political parties."

  3. In the meantime, #GitPython, the package that used to be dead (because the author is busily working on their next great thing) is now slopping out 4 "security" releases a week, as their #slop machine is busily fixing unintended variable expansion in every single URL they call. Unfortunately, they probably don't have enough tokens to fix them all at once, so instead all downstreams have to deal with the churn of endless security releases. Or the brain to figure out that maybe they could just disable variable expansion by default and solve them all at once.

    It's truly a great time to be a #Python packager.

  5. Let's say you're building a house. Normally this involves hiring a whole bunch of experts (either directly or via some company). You need to pay a fair wage for their labor, and you have to pay for all the material they're going to use. Some of them will be more experienced than others. They will sometimes make a mistake. They will sometimes get sick. The whole construction work will probably take a few months, and may get delayed in the process. Some construction material will be wasted. There's also a risk that over the next years, you'll discover that they screwed something up, and have to fix it. But you'll get a reasonably good house.

    Now, a kid comes and tells you you don't have to do this. Instead of paying all these people, you can hire him. He's wearing a suit and sunshades. He never laid a brick in his whole life. But he's got this new great technology that will give you a great house in no time. Of course it will cost you, but not as much as the labor of all these people. You try to learn more, and you discover that the technology actually builds and razes a hundred of house-like things a day, until it gets close enough to something that actually resembles a house. There's a lot of wasted energy and material, but you don't have to worry because it's all subsidized (for the time being). You pay less, you get a house that looks just right on the outside and inside, and that seems to work just right.

    Of course, there's a real risk that in a few months you'll discover that something is wrong. You may have to pay a lot for a real expert to figure out how things were done, and how to fix them. Or they may not be able to help you. You may be stuck having to call the suit again, and he'll happily come and fix it for you. And by "fix", I mean he will just raze a whole part of the house and start randomly spitting it out again until he gets something that looks about right, and works about right. Of course, it may not really be a good fit for the rest of the house, but you don't want to pay for replacing the whole thing, do you? It may also introduce a completely new issues that will surface in a few months, but that's just how it is.

    Welcome to the glorious world of #AI.

  27. So… looking at that "In the weights" site again today… the results are even funnier if someone has less of an "online" presence.

    Apparently I and both my parents were actors in BBC show "The Bill"… my father comes up as a soccer player… and my mother apparently was a swimmer in the 1960 summer Olympic games.

    So yeah… bullshit machines they are! Sometimes you can trust a little of what they say, and sometimes it's complete and utter crap. We've come to the conclusion that at least one model thinks if it's a British-sounding name, they must've been an actor in "The Bill".

    Ironically in those cases, the bit that was considered "hallucination" was: "these are private individuals" , "these names are ambiguous" or "this name relates to multiple people".

  32. Let's get this straight: anything created with "AI" is #slop.

    It doesn't have to be vibe-coded. It doesn't have to be horrible code. It doesn't matter that you've spent hours perfecting the prompt. It doesn't matter that ten people have spent a week reviewing it in detail.

    As long as an "AI" took part in writing it, it's slop. It's an unethical technology, and anything created with it is tainted. It's an inhuman technology, and you're supporting it. You're being disrespectful to your users and contributors. You're putting your own convenience over humanity. You're aiding the worst murderous assholes in the history of humanity. And what's perhaps worst, you quite likely believe that you are making a net positive contribution, that you're helping people, while you're actually disrespecting and harming them.

  37. Finally getting around to delete #spotify from my life. I'm looking for a nice #noai #nollm FOSS music player for android and would appreciate any suggestions!

    The most important feature would be the ability to play local media files on the device itself but streaming media from a local media server would also be a nice bonus.

    Thank you so much for this super insighful essay! Frightening in many ways, but it also gives me hope, since it at least lets me understand how it happens that madness gets a grip on an organisation.

    Very wise words at the end about how to survive in an institution caught by the mania.
