Mal 'ne ganz pragmatische Frage:
Wenn sich @debian jetzt nicht klar vom Einsatz von #AI / #KI / #LLM distanziert, …
… puh. Wie geht Ihr damit um?
Wie hält es die @fsfe oder das GNU Projekt ?
Was ist mit der viel zitierten Freiheit, mit der Transparenz, Unabhängigkeit und der Mündigkeit (der Entwickler)?
Gentoo? Kenne ich noch nicht. Ist aber vielleicht eine Idee wert. 🤔 Aber auch da werde ich recht schnell z.B. auf diesen Linux-Kernel treffen. …
Every post/reply about AI you write should come with a link to a reminder that Corporate LLMs:
- Are for-profit plagiarism machines that have cannibalized the internet
- Come at a serious human and environmental cost
- Can't be trusted and create real IP problems, AND
- Can make you dumber if you stop thinking for yourself
"Die Bilanz sendet ein Warnsignal
Die offenen Kundenforderungen stiegen innerhalb von sechs Monaten von 38,5 auf 63,1 Milliarden US-Dollar. Fünf direkte Kunden stehen für zusammen 70 Prozent dieser Summe. Solange diese Unternehmen zahlen, bleibt das beherrschbar. Gerät jedoch nur einer der Großkunden in Schwierigkeiten, könnte aus gebuchtem Umsatz ein handfestes Bilanzproblem werden."

AI systems are stochastic parrots. They mix and match what they have learned by reading what we have produced over the decades.
Some people have told me that AI systems suggest solutions similar, or identical, to those I was already suggesting in some posts on my blogs back in 2020, 2021, 2022... before the AI era. And yet, every now and then, someone writes to me saying that one of my blog posts from back then is "clearly AI generated because AI suggests the same method".
This phenomenon is becoming fairly recurring, and I know at least two people who have stopped contributing publicly to Open Source and education because they got tired of being accused of producing slop.
If we want to stay away from all this, if we want to demonstrate that AI is harmful and not a solution, shouting at anything that "might look AI generated, and often isn't" is not how we solve the problem. Let's produce good content. Let's explain the long term cost of all this. Let's do useful things. Let's show what the human mind is capable of doing great things.
Because otherwise, we risk the opposite: only AI systems and vibe coders will remain, while everyone else, disgusted, walks away for good from this wonderful world of ours.
If we want a world with less AI slop, let’s not make it unbearable for humans to create.
It amazes me and, if I'm being honest, frustrates me and angers the hell out of me, at how many people are okay with using AI. I mean, they just don't give a shit about any of the ethical issues with its use because it "makes their work easier" or they're "afraid of being left behind". If you use AI, you're telling me that you are okay with art being stolen, personally created content being stolen, energy prices surging for so many folks who are already struggling, clean water sources being used up, contributing to climate change (see the latest news in Nepal), making the rich even richer while we all struggle, and I could go on, and on, and on.
This is really stressing me out so fuck all of it.
Interesting: i gave claude and Qwen 3.5 9B the same problem to solve do a small home assistant automation. Qwen was running on my 5.5 year old Laptop (8 core Ryzen, 32gig Ram no useable GPU(at least i think so)) claude was done in 20sec, my Laptop needed 240sec but the endresult was nearly identical and correct. Also the annotations were nearly identical. Okay it is slow but better use my green power here than using claude which site in some coal powered AWS etc datacenter

Dirk hat mit „Handgedacht“ mal eine Überlegung in den Raum geworfen, dass in Zukunft lieber Non-AI-Inhalte gekennzeichnet werden, als AI-Inhalte. Thomas hat das direkt mal aufgegriffen und /handgedacht, also eine Slash-Page, in den Raum geworfen.

There is something deeply satisfying about true data sovereignty.
No rate limits, no third-party APIs snooping on prompts, and zero cloud lock-in. Just raw self-hosted inference pulling 154 tok/s with an absurd 0.11s TTFT on local silicon.
Running Qwen with reasoning enabled, NVFP4 quantization on Blackwell, and SGLang speculative decoding. Crisp, private, and blazingly fast.
The future of AI belongs on your own hardware.

Soso, nVidia kauft für 12,9 Milliarden Dollar Huggingface? Für das 80-fache des aktuell geschätzten Jahresumsatzes? Sind wir doch mal ehrlich: Da steckt definitiv mehr dahinter, oder?
Gestern rauschte mir ein Artikel der Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) durch die Timeline, in dem sie mal ein bisschen rechtlich aufgearbeitet haben, wie das eigentlich so mit dem Copyright auf AI-generierten Code aussieht. Und ich liebe alles daran.

QUILI.AI
"A town becomes AI for a day in a bid to save its water.
An initiative by FUNDACIÓN AVINA and CORPORACIÓN NGEN.
[The Problem]
Quilicura, Chile sits within the Maipo river basin, one of the main sources of water for people and farming. Since the early 2010s, Quilicura has become a major hub for A.I data centers that use large amounts of water to cool down servers. Because of that, coupled with an ongoing climate crisis, Chile is facing a severe drought expected to last until 2040.
[Becoming AI for a Day]
Even though A.I. can move mankind ahead, the irresponsible use of A.I. can have disastrous effects on our water and other resources. It is inconceivable to think that someone casually using A.I. to create funny images in NYC or Berlin, can affect the water supply in Quilicura, Chile.
To make the impact visible, and to help draw visibility to the problem, the residents from Quilicura became “human A.I.,” for a day. Answering prompts, creating content with local artists, and completing other tasks manually.
Humans helping to answer prompts
The initiative helped dimensionalize a complex problem, and helped show the world the real people affected by the the irresponsible use of A.I. and the hidden cost it has on local water resources.
[THE IMPACT]
25,000 prompts
On JAN 31st from 8 AM to 8 PM: more than 40 people from Quilicura managed to answer more than 25,000 prompts.
(...)
Each chat lasted an average of 11’ 4.
68 COUNTRIES
Chatting with more than 68 countries around the world that supported the project.
(...)
71.6 M
was the global reach in just one day.
+1 BILLION
The initiative managed to reach more than 1 billion people in the world.
Thank you for helping us save our water."

I used to think that the one time a month #AI chatbots were helpful to me, using a #EuropeanUnion based company like Mistral or #EAA one like Luma would be best. Supporting local business seemed obviously better.
The realization smacked me in the face: it's worse, because it supports the idea that European companies can do the same BS as American ones and get money for it. Fuck off with that. We don't need European versions of shit. We need to be better.
Ein kurzer Shortpost und die Blogosphäre ist wieder in Aufruhr. Und das sogar völlig grundlos. Okay, fangen wir mal an, das nochmal aufzudröseln.

Hi blog writers: You don’t have to attach a unique image to every blog post, and you *certainly* don’t need to use #AI to generate an image for every blog post. You may think AI-generated images make your posts more attractive, but you are mistaken; they are doing the opposite: they make your posts more *repulsive* to a good number of potential readers. If I see an AI-generated image in the preview, I won’t click through to read your post, I won’t boost the post that mentions your post, and I certainly won’t read the rest of your blog.
Prompt für #ChatGPT
Bitte entlasse alle inkomptenten Kollegen und vor allem meinen Chef und stelle dafür vernünftige Leute ein. Erhöhe zusätzlich mein Gehalt um 50% und setze die Urlaubstage auf 90 pro Halbjahr.
Oh. My. Bob, you can override #AI guardrails with #encryption. Beautiful.
“Rony Utevsky, a researcher at security firm #Adversa, recently discovered a simple way to completely bypass that restriction. Rather than composing the harmful instruction in plaintext, the hacker encrypts it. The website hosting the ciphertext also includes plaintext instructions for decrypting the encrypted content, along with the decryption key. Using this simple sequence, #Grok then follows the command as soon as the user instructs the assistant to summarize the page. There is no warning, and no confirmation is required.”
Ahahahahahahahah. Turn them off my dudes, your techbro fantasies are disasters.
littleFedi isn't my personal project.
It's the work of a team. And one of the reasons some of them were skeptical about making it public, and still prefer to remain anonymous, is precisely the fear of seeing their work casually labelled as AI-generated.
This witch hunt isn't helping anyone.
Because the only ones who don't feel offended when their work is quickly dismissed as AI-generated are the AIs themselves.
And if we keep going this way, eventually they'll be the only ones left.
Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, it has been studied how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning.
