#AI / #LLM propaganda is so insidiously effective even for laypeople.

I’ve had multiple conversations with family members who: don’t speak English, don’t own computers (only mobile phones), and barely spend time online.

I told them that I am no longer working with most tech company clients because I don’t like AI and don’t want to support it (“AI” here = gen AI, LLMs).

And yet these people all reacted the same way: concern, shock, and comments like “but this is inevitable”, “this is the future”, “you’ll have to accept it eventually”, “won’t refusing it ruin your career prospects?”

These are people who know nothing about technology. They usually wouldn’t even know what “AI” meant. And yet here they are, utterly convinced of AI company talking points.

A post full of adequacy and wisdom. Thank you Quinn. I'm even more optimistic about #AI, but I keep saying the only thing: it won't replace software engineers, doctors or whomever, it will just make their work faster. I always read the code emitted by AI, I always review it, but it's a tremenduously helpful tool in my toolbox, and even more, it's a helpful assistant. Have a great 2026!

Let's do the math. Experts estimate it takes 10,000 #AI queries to match the energy of one single car trip across town.
I don't have a car. I don't drive. So, until you stop driving to the store, maybe don't lecture a #Blind woman about the 'environmental cost' of having a family photo or a cat picture described to her. My #Accessibility tool costs the planet less energy in a year than your car does in a week.

SF’s is having a massive power outage. We ended up having to drive across SF to find a laundromat to dry our soaking wet laundry. Here’s my two observations: every third block is a traffic jam caused by a confused Waymo that doesn’t know how to handle these intersections with no power. Why are the Waymo’s even allowed to drive right now?

Also, considering how much of our city’s budget goes to the cops, why aren’t any of them directing traffic? I mean, it’s not like SFPD is busy solving crime…

Idea for #Apple and #Google: Include a setting for their #AI to give photos meaningful file names. Because I'm tired of trying to differentiate between 5187923061456387928_121.jpg and 5892706374823612537_353.jpg.
P.S. It would have been nice if even without AI they gave names like current date, current time with seconds and a sequential number… dreaming is not forbidden? right?

Why is everyone mad at #mozilla I don't understand.

#firefox is about to release one of the best #ai features and I couldn't be more excited: a kill switch.

This is a big deal and marks a change of sentiment. After years of tech scrambling to reinvent itself with user hostile #ai features, Mozilla is offering something different - turn it off.

Here is the price evolution of the Kingston FURY 64GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL36 Beast EXPO that I have in my new PC:

End of November - 12890 CZK (€528)
Now - 16390 CZK (€672)

What to say... #AI is changing the world, but not in the way that people had envisaged.

Možná jste to nevěděli, ale reader mode ve Firefoxu umí číst články. Jakože nahlas. Přečte text jako audio. Ale zní to prehistoricky a čeština je to vtipná. Kdyby zrovna do tohodle vrazili AI a vylepšili to, neuráželo by mně to.

Myslím, že jsou věci, které jsou AI a jsou pro lidi užitečné, ale je otázka, jestli to jsou zrovna ty, které si produkťáci vycucali z prstu, a jestli jich je tolik, kolik se nám snaží aktuální trh naznačit.

Mozilla just named Anthony Enzor-DeMeo as their new CEO. He says:

“Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.”

RIP, Firefox.

"Al slop [...] was just vomited into existence."

About AI in writing/publishing...

#AI #AISlop

Via nocryptographer I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. Al slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with Al will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

In #Safari on an #iPhone going to the link I see... something that resembles a blog, but tapping the "reader view" I get the following, proving the point of the headline. If we can't read it, an #AI #Bot can't scrape it.

If I were on #spotify, I’d cancel my subscription/account immediately.

King Gizzard pulled their music from the platform so Spotify has replaced it with #AI knockoffs of their music. As if paying almost nothing for streaming wasn’t evil enough, they’re now using LLMs trained on stolen content to pay artists nothing at all.

I'm a bit worried about the discourse around #ai.

It's totally OK to have strong opinions either way, but I feel like in certain circles it's becoming a purity test.

Do you hold the RIGHT opinions about AI, how it's trained and how it's used?

I think pointing out the dangers is important. Pointing out the risks is important, but recognizing that the situation is nuanced and complex is important as well.

#AI

In the hours following the recent earthquake off the north-eastern coast of Japan, Google's #AI "displayed outdated information and wrong answers, including the wrong magnitude of the earthquake."

"False information must not be displayed -- even once -- in the field of disaster response, where lives are at stake"
