"Starting Sunday in #EU, #AI #chatbots, receptionists, #media must reveal they are not human"

This is excellent

But:

Laws require enforcement

Or they are just feel-good declarations that rot the rule of law: a corpus of laws without bite means the law has no meaning. A dangerous precedent

So *how* do we fight AI. Especially on #socialMedia

You have to understand it's an existential threat. Not to #Mastodon/ #Fediverse, but *all* social media... all media

an abstract image of "AI"

Maybe fight fire with fire

When we encounter what we think is #AI, endlessly respond with cheaper, simpler markov chain chat scripts

The reasoning: burning tokens is expensive. A real human will disengage, an AI will waste money

"They will alter AI chatbots to limit engagement"

But if you mob a suspected AI chatbot with simple meaningless responses, it will still burn through tokens to evaluate them

But, this effort at fighting pollution is another form of pollution

Hmmm

Any ideas?

Dann soltest du für #ArthurMensch arbeiten. Das ist fast #*Mistral|s Mission Statement!--Mich hat es (fast) überzeugt:

"Most of the world’s biggest ai firms are locked in a race to build “superintelligence”. But Mistral ai, a French frontier lab, is betting against this “winner-takes-all” competition. The firm thinks that smaller, more customisable, open-weight models will prove more valuable. Mistral’s boss outlines his plan—and why he thinks that, wherever you are, #AI...

@Ayzacoder: Attention if you have a Gmail account:

Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

I'm currently testing a few #LLM #MLX runtimes/apps on my #M5 Pro 24 GB. So far, I can't say which one gets the best performance out of a local LLM like #Gemma 4 12B.
I've tested #Ollama, #LMStudio, #oMlx, and #osaurus. Each one has its own 1-2 tweaks that are supposed to squeeze out more performance.

What's your experience been like?

From AI Forensics' investigation of Hugging Face's top image models:

- 73% of monitored requests were sexual in nature.
- Of those, 83% sought to undress or otherwise sexualize a person
- 95% targeted women
- 6.7% targeted a minor (if fulfilled, these requests would constitute CSAM).
- Only 3% of audited Spaces showed any evidence of output moderation.

cruelty is the point of #fascism. #ai is the automation of cruelty.

This is the magnificent library Anthropic amassed, before destroying it because it gave them a legal copyright loophole.

Photo of a huge warehouse with rows and rows of tables covered in thousands of boxes of books.

Anthropic spent billions of dollars to slice the spines off millions of books, including very rare ones.

AI companies are purchasing large quantities of used and rare books and scanning their contents to train LLMs. They then turn the originals to pulp.

The sum of human thought, digitized and shredded. Every book that gets scanned disappears from the physical world permanently.

Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claims that all humans are werewolves now.

MSM: OMG!!!

With several open source figures taking a stance on either side of the generative AI debate, we have another argument about it. This time we actually come to something closer to an understanding of each other’s views, even if we still end up disagreeing.

This is a real phenomena, this ‘fesser’ (excellent account to follow) might be representative of a large set of workers in the #AI age.

23h As a writer who doesn't use Al, it's not like there is some temptation I am resisting. I am a writer. I engage in the act of writing. It's like asking if someone who loves to play tennis would prefer sitting on the sidelines and watching a robot play tennis. They'd be like, "No, man, it would just make me want to play tennis." There's no temptation; the very idea is baffling.

RE: https://thepit.social/@peter/116962244994361810

There are three parts of this act, which I enjoy in particular:

1) That unnatural, weird pose that the robot does on the floor 😜

2) Black blankets that they put on the robot as if it had died - hiding the nasty gore :P

3) The awkward reaction of the emergency response team, trying to remove the robot from stage.

Do recommend watching. Hilarious! 🤣

Karikatur "Außer Rand und Band" aus dem Jahr 2026. Ein Mann kommt erschöpft und schwitzend in der Bildmitte an, wo ein Hundehalsband am Boden liegt. Auf der Innenseite des Halsbands liest man die Buchstaben A I. Der Mann hält den Haltegriff der Leine in seiner linken Hand. Die entwickelte Leine hält er in seinem Arm. Es scheint, als rufe der Mann jemandem oder etwas hinterher.

Nur die anderen sind Scheiße!

Ein guter Tag

Ich war eben beim Arzt. Ergebnis: Ich bin gesund. Also grob.

Was ich viel cooler fand: Eine der jüngeren MFA fragte mich, was ich denn als Programmierer von KI halten würde. Meine Antwort „Abstand“ machte sie sehr glücklich. Wir sprachen noch ein wenig darüber, wie schlimm das alles im Umfeld geworden ist und dass so viele fälschlicherweise denken, die AI würde ihnen auch nur ansatzweise helfen.

Das Gespräch hat mich sehr glücklich und gleichzeitig zuversichtlich gemacht, dass noch nicht alles verloren ist.
