A machine, designed for creating facsimiles of reality on a mind blowing scale, made possible by decades of theft and exploitation, penetrating spaces by brute force and one has to explain why it seems rather fascist to endorse it. #thereisnoAI

The Generative #AI Learning Penalty: Evidence from Chinese Secondary #Education
... how generative AI affects homework productivity and #learning.
TL;DR: students get better at homework, but #exam results and learning deteriorate.
"AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, full penalty emerging only after about 2 years.
#surprise ...

also, consider #GreenBookBurning - use the heat produced in the process to warm up residential homes.
Oh, wait ... -
In other #AI news today:
* AI brings Google results into bottom line negative, for first time in a decade.
* #ChatGPT medical advice brought man 'to brink of death', lawsuit alleges
* 'Let's enjoy the ride' says Elon Musk.
* We can not trust cute cat videos anymore.
In other industries, we know how to stop failed experiments.

#AI does not "slip free", "go rogue" or "attack" -
a company (resp. its engineers) are attacking another company, not containing a piece of #software properly.
"The co-founder of #HuggingFace, a technology start-up that was hacked after some of #OpenAI most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models went #rogue, said on Thursday that the incident is "a wake-up call" for the industry."

#GenAI is a truck that's been driven into a wall,
tires grinding into the mud,
and the industry's only answer is to give that engine more horsepower.Efficiency stuck orders of magnitude away from a human brain.
Even its most primitive scraping and averaging doesn't really work.

It arrived as infrastructure
"This is how frontier AI capability becomes dependency: not through a signed partnership agreement, but through a software subscription renewal that nobody flagged as an AI governance moment.
The institutions that will eventually need to regulate these tools are already running on them."

I was not aware of this aspect of the #AI madness/crime -
AI companies hording & destroying books after extracting their #content, so that in the future, their portals be the only path to knowledge.
First source [#german] is new, about #ZoomBooks buying 100,000s of #books in #europe, building dedicated warehouses just to collect them -
second source is 2025 about #Anthropic s practice

luckily, noone ever planned to decarbonize them -
one of their main reason for existence is to use fossil fuels. </s> -
i have not seen numbers or graphs on it yet, but a similar tendency emerges in the #startup scene - which somehow in many places is seen as a valid indicator for #value or #impact
on a recent hackathon i heard that you can now launch 10 companies a day, as #agentic #AI will take care of all the necessary steps.
Essentially, it becomes #AI slopping for and to itself.It might be time to give all this its closed network somewhere, where humans dont have to witness.

yes, this is the idea of large scale corporate scraping/stealing -
a global monopoly on information/data/content, owned by a handful of power centers.the web as we knew it is in fact dead - about 90% of all content to be "#AI"-generated in 2026.
we have been naive to think that a decentralized free resource would *not* be taken over by #corporate power.

Clearly, humanity needed "AI"
""There is compelling and concerning #data that explicit deepfakes have increased on the #internet as much as 550% year on year since 2019," Julie Inman Grant wrote after advising parliament on the new laws in 2024.
"It's a bit shocking to note that #pornographic videos make up 98% of the #deepfake material currently online and 99% of that imagery is of women and girls.""

"AI" synthesizing conference sessions - that's a first time for me seeing that oneoffered.
We basically dont need conferennces anymore -
we can have "AI"s hallucinate our favorite viewpoints on demand." Subscribers to the Premium Edition have access to enhanced features and productivity tools
Access new AI features such as short synopses, article summaries, content recommendations, and podcasts synthesizing conference sessions

“#Meta, #Google and #Microsoft have all baked [generative AI] deep into their systems,” Joshi says. “I see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.”

@thomasfuchs
while this is an expected and legitimate rhetorical move, the thing is that we actually know quite a bit about human consciousness - if mostly by exclusion.We know it does not make the key mistake of digitizing,
we know there s no storage medium,
it does not scrape,
it does not 'improve' by throwing more MegaWatts at itself, but instead runs just fine on 10-12 W.
So we do know it is fundamentally different. -
