I have been hearing a lot about the new Llama CPP UI but have not tried it yet.
This week I am going to run it in a real on device AI workflow and see how well it fits into my day to day work as a blind iOS developer.
If you are using LlamaCPP or similar local model tooling, how is the new UI working for you in practice. What does it do well, and what still gets in your way.

Part of the reason why prices kept going up is because certain corporations are using #AI to figure out how much to jack up grocery prices. They are able to charge customers different prices for the same items. If they can afford to use AI like that, they can afford to pay workers a living wage. Join your local union today. #1u

1000% agree
Im furious about AI. It's being sold as this amazing resource that is so good for us all. But it isn't.
Apart from the VAST drain on energy (that we none of us can afford financially or resource-wise globally) it's a drain on us individually. We WILL become stupider and less capable in all sorts of ways.

Im sick of it all. And we are never given a choice about it.
Sick of business interests telling me i need this or that technology that I really don't need and really don't want.
Sure there are exceptions:
disabled ppl or elderly need AI and huge cars and Alexa/Siri and driverless vehicles to make their lives way way easier. And that's what it should be there for.

But for the majority of ppl those things are superfluous. We don't need them. We really don't.
But we are being MADE to want them bc the market gives lucrative profits for a select few if we ALL have to use them to pay for the research and development. I don't need things delivered to my frigging garden by drone, but a small number of ppl do. God forbid someone develops these things out of the goodness of their hearts bc elderly need help. But no, let's squeeze the cash out of everyone on the planet telling them they need some delivery bc it's cool apparently.

So we are made to use internet banking bc then they take cash away. We have streamed entertainment rather than going out and making our own bc all the pubs and cinemas are shutting. We are made to use chat bots on phones bc the take ppl away. It makes me effing furious

Very interesting! PSG Global Solutions ran an experiment on AI interview with 70,000 participants, and "when given a choice, 78% of candidates choose to be interviewed by an AI voice agent." "Women were also more likely than men to choose the AI over the human interview." "People who went through the AI interview process were 12% more likely to get a job offer and about 18% more likely to start and stay in the job for at least a month." #AI npr.org/2025/11/07/nx-s1-56001…

Age verification is the new trend to de-anonymize the web. 😡

🚨Starting Dec 10, #YouTube #Australia will ask for your age.

The Big Tech already started rolling out an AI-powered age estimation system. Adults are being marked as minors & are forced to submit IDs before regaining full access to decades-old accounts.

In the early 2000s the ReactOS team paused development for years; to engage in a project wide audit, under accusations that a developer may have SEEN leaked windows sourcecode.

In the 2020s folks keep insisting it's cool for #FLOSS devs to use AI's trained on random other projects to generate code; when it is known that such AI assistants occasionally reproduce code verbatim, without regard to the original software license. #llm #AI #eliza #generativeAI

Humanity:

#AI sounds amazing and yes there are downsides (lost jobs, energy use, etc), but who cares, onwards!!

A clean healthy planet sounds amazing but woah woah there are downsides (some economic sacrifices & some mega oil corps need to pivot) we obviously can't do it!!

What humanity chooses to be unstoppable about is utterly tragic.

If you want a specific example of why many researchers in machine learning and natural language processing find the idea that LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude are "intelligent" or "conscious" is laughable, this article describes one:

Vcera jsem vypimpil AI praci na iOS mobilni appce. Poctive jsem nastavil vizualni zpetnou vazbu pres Maestro. Takze AI ovlada simulator, proklikava si ho a vidi, co se tam deje.

Idea je jasna, agent muze bezet fakticky neomezene dlouho => s dobrou smyckou doda dobre vysledky.

Claude uz se 13 hodin v kuse snazi pridat soubor do targetu pres xcodeproj CLI. Kvalitne utracenych 112m tokenu.

Povede se mu to dneska zbuildit? Bude nova Unreleased appka? Zustante naladeni!

I'm looking into the Zig programming language, and I found this on the language designer's blog. I always appreciate seeing other people being as cranky as I am about rent-seeking and the aggressive push for LLM coding:

“In this case it's even more suspicious because the company that bills you not only counts how much you owe them, it also controls the agent's behavior in terms of how many requests it tries to make. So they could easily insert into their system prompt something like, ‘our earnings this quarter are a little short so try to pick strategies when doing agentic coding that end up earning us more API requests, but keep it subtle.’ There's no oversight. They could even make it target specific companies.”

Profound read on AI use and the influence on students.

"Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead."

EDIT: The Malwarebytes article has been updated:

"After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case."

This confusion could've been easily avoided if Google was more clear in how they communicate with their users.

ORIGINAL:

PSA to anyone who uses Gmail!

"Reportedly, Google has recently started automatically opting users in to allow Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for training its AI models. This means your emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. Unless you decide to take action."

"The problem is, right now, talking to Copilot in Windows 11 is an exercise in pure frustration — a stark reminder that the reality of AI is nowhere close to the hype.

I spent a week with Copilot, asking it the same questions Microsoft has in its ads, and tried to get help with tasks I’d find useful. And time after time, Copilot got things wrong, made stuff up, and spoke to me like I was a child.

Copilot Vision scans what’s on your screen and tries to assist you with voice prompts. Invoking Copilot requires you to share your screen like you’re on a Teams call, by hitting okay Every. Single. Time. After it gets your permission, it’s excruciatingly slow to respond, and it addressed me by name every time I asked it anything. Like other AI assistants and LLMs, it’s here to please, even when it’s totally misguided."

We love the story of 17th century Tulipmania and its financial collapse. How could those people have been so stupid to bet the house on a tulip bulb?

So rblind.com didn't go down, and it isn't anymore broken today than it usually is. Cloudflare breaks #accessibility. It always has, and it always will. Now the rest of you know how it feels to be locked out because you don't run JavaScript and can't solve a captcha. Will you stop using #cloudflare? No, of course not! If it blocks #AI, you're completely fine with denying that blind users might be human at all. As AI becomes more and more capable, the definition of "human" is going to become more and more restrictive, until everyone who isn't completely able bodied and doesn't have absolutely perfect vision, hearing, and cognition is completely excluded.

So... @fedora has made a policy explicitly allowing AI code. So I have to change my home distro.

@gentoo and @netbsd both have specific policies against it, but I ain't about doing a Gentoo install (sorry, guys, I love you for this, but I need a binary first distro), and NetBSD ain't great for gaming AFAIK.

So... any other Distros wanna step up and do the right thing? @archlinux? @opensuse? @debian? #VoidLinux? @alpinelinux?

Just a public statement that says "No, we don't want that crap" would be plenty --- I understand the difficulty of enforcing the policy, but setting it as a community/commit standard would go a long way towards making a lot of us feel better.

(Boost for visibility, please?)
