black, red & white poster on a diagonal axis, the upper half of which is black & the lower, white. 'none of this' is at the top left of the illustration in a white, typewriter font. a red triangle is below that, perpendicular to the main access. across the top angle of that triangle is the same white font as above it & reads: 'is inevitable.' on the right side of the red triangle are white lines that mimic a circuit board. those lines extend into the lower white section of the piece & become the shadows of bare trees, around which are interspersed with red fires. in the lower right corner, on the black side, are the white words 'death to'. opposite, on the white side, in black type, are the words 'data centers & AI'.

New, by me: A number of high-profile and/or valuable Instagram accounts, including those of the Obama White House and the Chief Master Sergeant for the U.S. Space Force, got hacked and defaced with pro-Iran messaging in the past 24h after people figured out that Meta's AI support assistant could be tricked into resetting account passwords.

From the story:

"A video released on Telegram by pro-Iran hackers claimed to document a remarkably simple exploit that appears to have involved using a VPN connection with an IP address that is in or near the target's usual hometown, requesting a password reset for the account, and then choosing to chat with Meta's AI support assistant. From there, the video shows the attacker told the bot to link the account in question to a new email address, after which the bot dutifully sent that address a one-time code that allowed a password reset."

It's right that Palantir, a firm powering ICE and the war in Gaza, is blocked from the Met Police. BUT we must go further.

We must ban so-called crime-predicting tools, "which claim to predict who will commit crimes and where. These systems undermine the presumption of innocence."

QEMU Shifting On AI Policy To Allow Some AI/LLM-Generated Contributions - Phoronix

https://www.phoronix.com/news/QEMU-Patch-Allows-Some-AI

– via <https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/council/-/work_items/697#note_615925>. From Michael Larabel's article:

＂… second thoughts with a proposed patch that will permit AI/LLM contributions in non-critical areas.

Red Hat virtualization engineer Paolo Bonzini posted a patch today to the QEMU mailing list that replaces their current contribution policy of forbidding AI-generated contributions. This is coming as there is a shift in the balance of believed risk over LLM-generated contributions and now Red Hat feeling more comfortable on the matter. …＂

<https://billboard.bsd.cafe/post/574> quotes Bonzini:

＂Until now QEMU's code provenance policy declined any contribution believed to include or derive from AI-generated content. A blanket ban was easy to maintain while LLM output was rarely usable on its own, but as the tools improved an absolute prohibition has become harder to justify. …＂

OK, sure, but... the biggest dark pattern doesn't need "revealing", now does it? IT'S A MACHINE PRETENDING TO BE A PERSON in order to exploit the instincts we have in order to build & maintain relations with other human beings.

I am asking people once again to stop describing #AI using human words and attributes.

AI doesn’t answer—it regurgitates plausible output that happens to be right.
AI doesn’t hallucinate—it regurgitates plausible output that happens to be wrong.
AI doesn’t have agency—it regurgitates plausible output that is consumed by a computer program.
AI doesn’t think—it regurgitates plausible output that is fed back into itself to try again.
AI doesn’t create—it regurgitates a mixture of its training data.

Remember: the robot is not a person.

Open image library searches have become impossible. Page after page of AI results, now even with the 'no AI' option selected. I entered 'Victorian-era engraving' and was bombarded with pan-historical, anachronistic, blatantly wrong faux-tographic slop. #AI is impeding work, not expediting it

Wikipedia fired their lead dev of 20+ years and disbanded the team serving volunteer editors. Most were union organizers. The Foundation has $296M in reserves and fresh AI money from Microsoft, Meta & Amazon.
It's not just Wikipedia. Same pattern, different victims.

Okay, I'll give you that: LLMs aren't the root of the problem.

Capitalism is. The idea of infinite growth. The idea that people can't just live, they must with 40+ hours a week to justify their existence, and they must be purchasing something all the time. Companies must keep selling new stuff. All the resources must be tapped into and exploited.

And companies are making software. They must keep selling new features and pointless complete redesigns nobody wanted. The code must keep being churned over and over again. Programmers must justify their existence by churning out absurd amounts of meaningless code. The companies must exploit them.

Then, companies are entering the #OpenSource "market". They are acquiring and enshittifying. They are hiring and exploiting. And then so many volunteers just jump on the bandwagon and keep cosplaying them. And they too churn out useless code, "sell" pointless complete makeovers, "profit" off their users (even if they actually aren't making any real profit).

And then come LLMs, perfect tools for the job. Perfect tools for exploitation, for churning out useless code, for creating addiction, and for turning everyone into mindless corpospeak bullshit machines.

At least the model knows there is no 'sday' the rest of the week.

Addendum:: The best explanation I can come up with is that there is a phonetic connection between 'fish' and 'sday' via the 'ess' sound.

The man who wrote "Don't be evil" said he chose it specifically so it would be hard to remove. Paul Buchheit, the engineer who later built Gmail, suggested the phrase at a Google corporate values meeting on July 19, 2001.

Then in early 2018, internal documents leaked showing that Google had signed a Pentagon contract to build AI to analyze drone footage. By April, over 3,000 Google employees had signed a letter to Sundar Pichai demanding the contract be cancelled.

The letter specifically cited "Don't be evil" as the standard the company was failing to meet. Dozens of engineers resigned in protest.

Sometime between late April and early May, the slogan disappeared from the code of conduct's preface.

As AI replaces more knowledge jobs, we face a massive employment shift. To counter this, shouldn't we introduce a "Token Tax" on AI-generated value?

It would be simple to append income tax and social security contributions (healthcare, pensions) directly to AI service invoices. This ensures corporations continue to fund the solidarity model of our societies. Anything less is just a one-sided privilege for the wealthy.
What do you think?
