U.S. says ‘error’ mislabelled every African country on AIDS conference map at international conference

The U.S. government on Thursday acknowledged an “unfortunate error” that led to a map of Africa with every single country mislabelled being shown at a global AIDS conference this week.

They say it was AI created. Yes, we definitely want AI to take over our lives.

Nobody needs AI to search the Internet, court says in ruling against Google


https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/06/nobody-needs-ai-to-search-the-internet-court-says-in-ruling-against-google/

In other words, nobody needs AI to search the Internet, so AI firms can’t just let their tools attribute false claims to fake sources without assuming any liability.

The court also seemed to take a dig at Google for expecting users not to “blindly trust” AI overviews, noting that the AI tool’s utility “would be significantly diminished if the ‘AI overview’ were generally regarded as unreliable and if every single displayed link required independent verification.”


If it's not reliable, why would I ever use it? I'm not that stupid!

I can't attest about the accuracy of this piece, but it makes a strong argument for why the AI bubble hasn't popped yet despite showing no tangible results compared to the marketing claims: it has devolved into a full-fledged cult and not buying into the faith, even superficially, can cost one's livelihood. And so the public positive reinforcement loop goes on, while in private people are often skeptical at best, and rightfully so.

Content warning: Controversial tech opinion


People who protest, people who show the fuck up to city council meetings, people who write letters and make calls, people who organize are achieving victories all over the US. One data center after another is getting canceled, one ICE "warehouse" concentration camp after another. We've forced the mutiny of preverts to backtrack and change tactics. We've beaten them in court countless times.

We get to choose victory or defeat.

Jason Bassler says "They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter. Yet in just the last few days:
-LAPD canceled its Flock contract
-Meta canceled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage
-One of the largest planned US data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition
-The surveillance state isn't inevitable
It advances when people apathetic. It retreats when people fight back. Public pressure works. Keep pushing."

I am extremely disappointed with Freesound's AI policy so far...

They auto-opt in all creators to allow their sounds to be used for training generative machine learning models....

Without a way to opt-out.

Get phucked.

New on the blog. At Cables of Resistance, I ran a workshop asking if we can build hardware without capitalism. I was grieving what AI is doing to open source. Technologists need to see there's no innocent ground under the machine. It was always someone's land.

"FAANG": "Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google", is being replaced by "MANGOS": "Meta, Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, OpenAI, SpaceX".

"The old guard is out. The AI-native companies are in."

Apple pays Google $1B because it couldn't build AI. Welcome to MANGOS.

Manga Artist Loses Entire Google Account After AI Flags His Own Artwork on Drive

Japanese manga artist Masahiro Itosugi, creator of the adult series Aki Sora, had his Google account suspended after uploading old manga manuscripts to Google Drive. His appeal was reviewed and rejected, and the artist suspects that at every stage he was dealing with an AI moderator, not real employees.

Dear LazyDiaspora - How do I excise or at least disable all #AI from #NextCloud?


I'm not here to discuss the merits of "AI" technology, and any comments about that will be deleted by me.

I want the documentation showing me how to remove the feature as thoroughly as possible. However, all I can find is documentation on how to enable and configure it.

Ideally, I wish to visibly remove all references to AI feature(s) and all code associated with it. If that's not possible, then I'd like to know the exact config options that will pinch it off at the most basic level available.

How do I do that?

Reshares appreciated.

Thanks.
