Business are willing to accept broken code if it means they don't have to pay humans anymore

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

Ruin them! From @mollycrabapple.bsky.social: “Hey authors! Check to see if Anthropic stole your book to train their slop generator on. You’re entitled to $1500 per stolen Work. Look up your work, and if you’re in the database, file a claim” secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/

They show you surveillance tech and tell you how to be a more effective creep.

The AI Bubble inflated by a dereliction of duty from those meant to seek out and publish the truth. LLMs have been sold on myth and outright lies about what they do or will do, and when the bubble bursts, retail investors will be left with the consequences. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...

In a short piece for @techpolicypress.bsky.social, @abeba.bsky.social and I write #AIHype Is Steering EU Policy Off Course. Stop peddling in unscientific discourse about “AGI” and “superintelligence.” Serve citizens. Don't cater to the whims of tech CEOs. www.techpolicy.press/ai-hype-is-s...

Just updated my laptop, opened up Word, & to my horror discovered the multi-coloured Copilot wart in bottom right corner of doc. NO, I don't want a summary of this document that I am writing; I supplied the insights & questions and just fuck right off about "prepping" me to talk about my own work.

I can‘t believe that we‘re willingly handing over crucial parts of our workforce, data management and even education to a criminal version of Clippy

Every single vibe coding company is a scam, and both Replit and Lovable are evil. It's a blatant lie that you can use an LLM to build secure, functional software without coding knowledge. In a functioning regulatory environment Lovable and Replit would be illegal. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...

We live in an era of lies. LLMs are sold on the lie that they will one day be autonomous, and companies like OpenAI and Anthropic spread conflicting revenues and gross margins to muddy questionable businesses that burn billions of dollars. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...

Due to mass hype and operational ambiguity, executives can use "AI" as a justification for job cuts, increased worker surveillance, speed-up, reducing hiring—with little accountability or repercussion. The *logic* of AI has often been as damaging to labor as the tech itself (see: DOGE.)

Leaders of EU institutions have a responsibility to citizens. By promoting AI hype in the midst of a dangerous #bubble, the European Commission risks proposing harmful policies, wasting public funds and being complicit in AI harms.

Scientists and scholars in AI and its social impacts call on von der Leyen to retract #AIHype statement. @olivia.science @abeba.bsky.social @irisvanrooij.bsky.social @alexhanna.bsky.social @rocher.lc @danmcquillan.bsky.social @robin.berjon.com & many others have signed www.iccl.ie/press-releas...

AI cannot fail, it can only be sabotaged. You must stay ever-vigilant against Trotskyist wreckers.

It's almost like there isn't actually any money to cover the investments and partnerships these companies keep announcing to boost their valuation. It's a shell game to make things look good when it's actually the same cash being passed back and forth and called profit every time.

Mention #visaban once and russian "opposition" go's so imperial than it makes Putin blush

“So we asked ourselves: how could we make the common bicycle heavier, more dangerous and, ultimately, reliant on electricity” From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

When you are using the "AI" framing, does the way you talk about "AI" carry water for the Sam Altmans of the world? That is, are you helping to paint a picture of their tech as inevitable, all powerful, and/or anything other than commercial products? >>

If you have been framing your work as involving/in relation to "AI", what do you mean by "AI"? How would you describe your work without using that phrase? >>

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Remarkable that every boss talks about how amazing AI is, all the way up until that AI's outputs hit people whose jobs don't depend on agreeing, at which point they inevitably have to conceal that they are using AI. The shitty Coke ad studio. Games that use AI generated assets. Support chatbots.

Identifying flaws in GenAI unfortunately offers a pretext for claims that perfecting the product is just a matter of time & money. So pointing to chatbots’ role in,say, suicides can only go so far if we don’t also identify the systemic, irresolvable lack of Gen AI’s human commitment bc math has none

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

He started using ChatGPT for help with homework and eventually it ended up helping him to commit suicide... "thank you for letting me ride with you to the end" "may your next save file be somewhere warm" "see you on the other side" #NihilismAndTechnology

This whole business model needs to be burned to the ground.

The Legacy of War Foundation has released a press statement about their visit to Mykolaiv and Kherson with Angelina Jolie. Angelina said: “The people of Mykolaiv and Kherson live with danger every day, but they refuse to give in. At time when governments around the world

this is exactly what you want to see when you believe something is the future

is that good

Actually, I say let's go ahead and let these guys brand AI slop as Web 4.0. Hear me out: this framework accepts that Web 3.0 really was just 18 months or so of people trying to sell cartoon jpgs for profit, and establishes a trend line wherein "AI platforms" are the next devolutionary step.

If I learnt anything from the 2008 financial crisis it is that no harm can come from repackaging loans in to collatoralised instruments that can be sold in tranches which obfuscate the risk to institutional investors

Can’t wait for the AI bubble to spectacularly pop on idiots like this guy.

After the AI bubble I hope the next bubble is Laser Tag. Laser tag arenas on every street corner. Blacklight lit battlefields propping up every sector of the economy. A one story building by the side of the highway called “Blast Zone: Pizza & Arcade” valued at $2.7 trillion

Can’t imagine why people don’t like the technology that they’ve been telling us for years is designed to take our jobs and replace normal human interactions and sexual relationships

One of the aphorisms that's been going around resonates with me: “The underlying purpose of #AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” ~ need to remember the author. 😖 They don’t to pay or work for expertise anymore!

a huge part of the gen ai project is to create the mythic past that is central to the fascist narrative: the non-existent golden age that needs to be restored and the supposed fallen present that must be overturned. if these things are lies then reality itself must be altered to make them true

The marketing slogan should be “by creeps, for creeps.”

Even if you were willing to buy that an LLM/Gen AI tool has human-like intellect, you’re still left with the fact that an LLM doesn’t NEED a job to remain alive under capitalism, but a human does. morality-wise, surely many would agree that humans should thus be given priority for jobs due to need

“To leave our students to their own devices — which is to say, to the devices of A.I. companies — is to deprive them of indispensable opportunities to develop their linguistic mastery, and with it their most elementary powers of thought” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o... #AI #reading #writing #philsky

Are the AI investments and the productivity coming out of them in the room with us right now?

Who would have thought that spending billions of dollars on AI initiatives, massive power infrastructure, speeding the decay of our shared environment, with the net effect of taking jobs away from the middle class would not pencil out any profit?

Hell yeah. “The judge wrote that a “discerning observer could easily conclude that this detailed summary is substantially similar to Martin’s original work because the summary conveys the overall tone and feel of the original work by parroting the plot, characters, and themes of the original.”

Here is a point I don’t think is discussed enough: Microsoft stopped discussing their AI revenue as of Q2FY25 (announced in January). Why? Is the AI revenue not very good? This information is extremely material yet I do not see anybody else who seems concerned. www.geekwire.com/2025/microso...

It was such a huge honor to have described crimes committed by Russian paramilitaries deployed in West & Central Africa at the Truth to Justice conference in Berlin.

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge. 3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc. Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

My whole FB feed is now things like this. Obviously a cheating tool but also worth noting so many of these have this messaging--if you don't cheat, you'll be "left behind" (and also that "work smarter, not harder" is shorthand for "don't work at all")

Here’s where it gets personal for me. When I was 9, I started experiencing suicidal ideation … disinterested in living, and at least some of the time contemplating death and how it might happen … It’s easy to imagine how I would have used programs like these chatbots.

"achievements of these systems rest on theft of intellectual labor. Most notably, LLMs have been trained by scraping scholarly works without the authors’ or publishers’ consent: plagiarism packaged as human-like responses." 2/n www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/a... bsky.app/profile/oliv...
