[No AI was used in writing this toot — I’d rather not write at all otherwise]

The use of #GenAISlop machines to determine whether text was provided by #LLM #TextRegurgitatingMachines is a monster of a cyclical process. Like the integrity of police officers overseen by other police officers in another branch of law enforcement. Lawyer oversighted by a professional lawyer body… and so on. #Credibility and #Transparency are unlikely to prevail in such nepotistic circumstances, corruption is everywhere but a step away.

What are #Authors to do? Build a #TrailOfEvidence and unimpeachable record of #Provenance for every work they wish to publish? How are they to do this? Are there non-AI tools to help? This is a really f*^%#d up world the #TechBros are imposing upon us all with their inane #MarketingHype hitting the mark with many incompetant and gullible executives in charge of the #publishingIndustry. (This is all conjecture on my part based on very little but general observations of what LLM GenAI is doing — or not doing — in every field of endeavour).

“Pangram is not infallible. I’ve used it to run some of my newsletters through it, and they came back as 80% AI when I wrote every word myself. This is one of many reasons why I disagree with Substack’s decision to partner with Pangram. Another reason is that once a tool like Pangram is available to the masses, false accusations start flying around, and careers can be ruined. Whether you admit it or not, there is A LOT of jealousy in the publishing world, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone who disliked author X decided to use Pangram on their work and made the results public. This is not the publishing world I want to live in.” (Read more: AI Accusations and Book Publishing - Kathleen Schmidt, Aug 01, 2026). A blog post on Substack, sry. https://kathleenschmidt.substack.com )

PS. I wonder how many *airport* books by some of the most successful authors in the *genre* would pass muster if subjected to #Pangram or similar GenAI tool generated analysis? Not many I’d wager. Further, what’s the bet Pangram is itself code produced by a GenAISlop machine. This AI ponzie scheme is just getting wilder and wilder by the day… BOOOMMM !

New on the RSpace blog: research documentation in the age of AI 🧪🤖

Our colleague Tilo reflects on a question we hear a lot: how do you let an AI agent act on your research and still retrace what it did?
In RSpace you can treat an agent as a team member, with its own account, so everything it touches stays permissioned, versioned and in the audit trail.

"Although no malicious functionality was identified, the case showed how #software #provenance and #governance relationships may create #strategic concerns that are not visible through traditional #technical #analysis." ...

"#AI systems such as #Mythos may transform how governments identify software vulnerabilities, but vulnerabilities are only part of the strategic picture. The lessons of #XZ, #SolarWinds, and easyjson suggest that some of the most consequential risks may not emerge from #vulnerable code, but from the software ecosystem through which code is governed, trusted, and delivered."

Вилка для макаронного монстра: делаю открытый конструктор нодовых редакторов

Сейчас только ленивый не делает свой нодовый редактор. Я решил помочь всем быть ещё ленивее и сделать вилку для макаронного монстра: открытый конструктор, в котором сам нодовый редактор собирается из готовых частей, а ноды перестают быть пленниками одной программы и превращаются в переносимые штуки. Ноду можно скачать, поставить себе, кинуть другому человеку, бросить в библиотеку, собрать из нескольких цепочку — а потом свернуть эту цепочку обратно в одну ноду. Проект называется SnarkRoute . Рабочий публичный кусок сейчас живёт как BoojumRoute Lab — локальный блочный редактор маршрутов. А под ним лежит то, ради чего всё и затевалось: Open Route Protocol , переносимый формат для описания AI-, model- и API-воркфлоу.

„Have you developed some tools?“

Today I had the pleasure to meet interesting people from all around the #NFDI at the 4th NFDI Berlin-Brandenburg network meeting (https://events.hifis.net/event/3380/).
The event was about #provenance and #reproducibility and people represented diverse fields, spanning astronomy, medicine, chemistry and history.

I am always impressed by the wealth of practical solutions and tools, e.g., to document workflows and create metadata. I too enjoy coding, but sticking to the critical discussion is definitely a comfort zone in sociology…

PS thanks @wikimediaDE for hosting the event. Sitting on a wooden box and having some mate is the most Berlin thing I have done recently…

In a world where AI agents consume, remix, and redistribute content at machine speed, three questions become urgent:

➡️ How do you prove what's yours?
➡️ How do you declare what AI did to it?
➡️ And how do you set the terms under which it can be used?

Aujord´hui, je participe de la journée d'études "Art et numérique : la data au service des provenances", à l'Ecole normale supérieure (mais je suis au Brésil, en visio!).

Твой код на Rust компилируется, проходит тесты и является UB. Ты просто об этом не знаешь

Если взять случайный крейт с crates.io и поставить его под Miri, шанс увидеть undefined behavior где-то в зависимостях стремится к единице. Разбираемся, почему: pointer provenance, Stacked Borrows, Tree Borrows и почему noalias в LLVM выключали три раза.

Multimodal AI without provenance is a deepfake factory. The 2026 fix is per-frame signing, voice gating, and a consent envelope around every output.

#TIL about the #Cisco #OpenSource tool: "#Model #Provenance Kit" https://github.com/cisco-ai-defense/model-provenance-kit

Tries to give a hand with tracking provenance as well as comparing #AI models.

#Democracy needs a factual foundation.

That's why we're launching three new projects that deal with topics like #provenance and #transparency, audio #forensics, and user-centered #disinformation countering.

All of them are funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt – which recognizes the importance of societal and digital resilience.
