PS. Here’s where to go: @Codeberg
(As an additional bonus, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing you’re part of an anti-fascist not-for-profit cooperative instead of a trillion-dollar US corporation that’s helping Israel commit genocide.)

GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out
Thomas Dohmke wrote that humans are often resistant to change. He said that's okay, but these people should probably find another profession.Alistair Barr (Business Insider)
OK! Best (broadly conceived) op-eds on #AI? Looking for 600-1200 word pieces in outlets great and small from the last few years.
What have you read that’s made a mark?
No one deserves this fate, even if they are the author of their own degradation
More, it's a cautionary tale for us all about the future of #society and #AI and its caustic effects on #mentalHealth
Even if this particular canary in the coal mine chose to place themselves into their predicament with enthusiasm, and is funding it

What a brilliant session with @emilymbender in conversation with @Kobotic at #RMIT tonight.
Key takeaways:
- #BenderRule - name the language you're working in
- #AI is not one technology - it's many in a trenchcoat. Be specific.
- Who benefits from the changes wrought by AI and who bears the harms and externalities?
- AI is hype - learn enough to cut through it, ask difficult questions
- "Pile of racist linear algebra"
- Read everything by @karenhao
- Read #TheAICon by Emily and @alex

Federal judge rules copyrighted books are fair use for AI training
A federal judge has sided with Anthropic in a major copyright ruling, declaring that artificial intelligence developers can train models using published books without authors’ consentAngela Yang (NBC News)
Hintergrund | heise: Studie: Große KI-Modelle greifen unter "Stress" auf Erpressung zurück
16 führende KI-Modelle von OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI & Co. legten bei einem Test konsequent schädliche Verhaltensweisen wie Drohungen und Spionage an den Tag.
Eine aktuelle Studie liefert weitere besorgniserregende Ergebnisse zum Verhalten der neuesten Generation großer Sprachmodelle für generative Künstliche Intelligenz (KI). Diese Systeme können demnach unter bestimmten Umständen wie "Stress" zu Erpressung oder ähnlichen manipulativen Verhaltensweisen greifen, um bestimmte Ziele zu erreichen oder sich selbst zu schützen...

BEWARE of Google AI generated video scams -- eight second segments can be a critical clue!
Fraudsters are now using the new advanced #Google #AI video system to create scam videos (including claiming to be from #YouTube) of humans speaking to camera. These are EXTREMELY convincing. One clue (for now) is that the created videos are often limited to eight second segments. To create longer scam videos, fraudsters are stringing together these segments of no more than eight seconds each, usually with a quick fade between them to mask the discontinuities between the segments.
Google is making life much easier for the fraudsters, but much worse for you.
That's it, I had to pull out one archive website I hosted because it was getting pummeled by AI crawlers and I wasn't able to find a good way to throttle requests with Apache 2.4 and mpm_itk.

Emily and Alex pore through an elaborate science fiction scenario about the "inevitability" of Artificial General Intelligence or AGI by the year 2027 - which rests atop a foundation of TESCREAL nonsense, and Sinophobia to boot.

For Silicon Valley, AI isn’t just about replacing some jobs. It’s about replacing all of them
"...I recently found myself at a dinner in an upstairs room at a restaurant in San Francisco hosted by a venture capital firm. The after-dinner speaker was a tech veteran who, having sold his AI company for hundreds of millions of dollars, has now turned his hand to investing. He had a simple message for the assembled startup founders: the money you can make in AI isn’t limited to the paltry market sizes of previous technology waves. You can replace the world’s workers – which means you can capture their salaries. All of them...."

The statement “why would I bother to read something someone couldn't be bothered to write?” almost perfectly captures so many peoples’ feelings about #AI.
And it evokes @pluralistic’s reminder that although AI probably can’t do your job, an AI salesman can probably convince your boss that it can.
In the end, this technology (or rather the market for this tech) is aimed squarely at its least noble use: cheapening and degrading human labor that doesn’t fit neatly into a balance sheet.

Public service announcement for artists: starting on 30 April 2025, Pinterest will start to use any image it finds on its platforms to train their AI slop machine.
You artwork might have been added to their platform without you knowing about it, because everyone can pin images from around the web.
If you want to remove your art from Pinterest, follow this guide (no account necessary):

I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞

Ugh, Python got over 500 #GSoC applications this year and so many of them are absolutely trash, didn't follow any of the instructions. Most years about half of our applications are like this. But usually we have a lot fewer applicants and the submissions were blank files not plausible AI nonsense.
So I'm stuck reading hundreds of incredibly low quality nonsensical submissions today in hopes to take some workload off my other unpaid volunteer mentors. This is not the volunteer gig I signed up for 15 years ago when it was mostly working with new contributors and not their AI chatbots and I'm grumpy.
