What would it mean to build #AI as a commons, held in trust, accountable to communities—not owned, but stewarded?

Where do we see initiatives like #PublicAI fitting into this? openfuture.eu/our-work/ai-and-…

What more could we imagine together?


Could we design systems, possibly using #AI, that help people hear each other more deeply, rather than shout more loudly? Could AI reveal patterns of harm and help communities heal?

Why aren't #governments using #OpenSource tools like pol.is to find places of agreement?

I love how smart these AI technologies are. They understand that "bigger" for cities can be ambiguous, refer to either the population or the area. It's also great that it's showing the sources in the upper corner, and displaying the basic facts.

Small minus on consistency and correctness, but other than that, really a great answer.

Another one of my posts. This one on the topic of AI tools as assistive technology, what's working, what isn't and why, all without the hype that too many people tend to lean into when discussing this technology:

Pretty sure all these #AI guys have utterly misconstrued what art is. They think it's just information/data, but it's not: it's a process; it's a manifestation of interwoven conscious & unconscious thoughts that have ripened in a human mind, sometimes for decades. And the result is an interaction with another human mind, a dialogue. 1/3

Are you still on #Spotify?

Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.

And don’t forget:

• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).

And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.

Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

This is ingenious! More companies—especially web hosting companies—should offer this feature.

👉🏾 #Cloudflare will now block #AI crawlers by default theverge.com/news/695501/cloud…

I wonder if there is a #WordPress plugin for this‽ It would be great if #WriteFreely & #Ghost offered this feature as well.


"Springer Nature book on machine learning is full of made-up citations" The book," Mastering Machine Learning: From Basics to Advanced", costs $169.
Yet more reason to be skeptical about #AI salespeople.

Products are so desperate to integrate #ai they have forsaken any kind of user research to gauge the demand of these features. #vscode has gone a step further and would never assume their chatbot sidebar would need a "close" button.


Both DoorDash and UberEats are now including AI generated menu item descriptions. Probably something to be aware of if you have food allergies. 😐 #AI #UberEats #DoorDash #fuckAI



In a private #Github organization, in a private repo filled with NDA code, Github decided that to automatically start reviewing that code using Copilot.

Mind you, Copilot is disabled for this organization.

Could we please just fucking not ?! Not even mentioning the fact that the Github organization didn't enabled this, there is no data policy to be found in sight. I have no clue what Copilot does with the data after it "reviewed" the code and I could potentially be breaking the signed NDA.

A very legitimate well-done to Canada for being one of the least suckered into AI garbage in the world!

"“We’re not seeing that literacy that we would like to see when we compare ourselves to our global peers, and there’s some reluctance around trusting AI and really embedding it in how we perform our day-to-day work and how we work,” said Terril."

Excellent news.

China installs more solar in 1 month than the total energy the US uses

China installed its highest solar power capacity for a single month in May.

back-of-the-envelope calculations, 71 GW is more power than the entire US uses (on average). This is why our electricity is, on average, 2.5-3 times more expensive. This will lead to advantages in AI, production, etc. Cheap energy = cheap everything else.

Using Gemini to write me a script to fix a Python error I was encountering took me about an hour. Writing the script myself would have taken me about an hour (I have to look up the syntax for tar and invoke-url and friends every single time). However, as a lazy programmer, Gemini's code is actually better. I wouldn't have bothered with any error checking, and I would have hard coded all the paths I needed. So I guess in this case, AI wins. The entirely #AI generated script, if you're curious: share.interfree.ca/app/open/5WidkTfzuPp-EsRM6XcBvpG-UWbmvCrW28H-tmjf28qCYjH?view=1

I (and many others) are convinced that the #AI hype bubble is gonna burst at some point, but I haven't seen many talk about what actually happens when it does?

So, here's my prediction for just that.

#AI


'Crime-predicting' tech leads to more over-policing of Black, racialised, lower income and migrant communities.

It automates unjust stop and searches, harassment, handcuffing and use of force.

Oops! AI did it again... you're not that innocent.

Nectar, a 'crime-predicting' system developed with #Palantir, could be rolled out nationally after a pilot with Bedfordshire police (UK).

Data such as race, sex life, trade union membership, philosophical beliefs and health are used to 'predict' criminality so people can be targeted for #surveillance.

U juniora i Codexu mam za sebou dost ukolu na normalizaci. 1 normo-ukol je priblizne 4h casu => 1068 Kc.

Codex me stoji ve VC cenach 5219 Kc mesicne.

S Codexem jsem odbavil 175 produkcnich normo-ukolu => 1 ukol ~ 30 Kc.

Kdybych mel stejnou mesicni davku odbavit juniory stali by me 186900 Kc.

Jedina vyhoda juniornich vyvojaru je preciznost. Vsechno ostatni bere Codex. Coz je dost smutne a jestli AI vyrazne nezdrazi, tak to bude budouci trh dost bolet.

Od minuleho ctvrtka si delam reflexi prace s juniornimi vyvojari vs Codex. Nakousli jsme to s kolegou z Kalkulacky.

Rok pracuju s juniornim vyvojarem (placenym) a mesic s Codexem.

TL;DR: Codex mi dokaze juniora nejenom kompletne nahradit, ale za soucasne VC dumpingove ceny je 36x efektivnejsi.

Vsechno delam komentari v kodu, prompt je jenom "najdi koment TODO: Agent - neco a udelej ho." Muj Linear je vyhledavani TODO: v codebase.

🤔 #"ComputerScience major "has one of the highest unemployment rates." "Despite computer science being ranked as number one by the Princeton Review for #college majors, the #tech industry may not be living up to #graduates' expectations." "On the other hand, majors like nutrition sciences, construction services and civil engineering had some of the lowest unemployment rates, hovering between 1 percent to as low as 0.4 percent." #AI newsweek.com/computer-science-…

I’m unreasonably fucking pissed.

An r/me_irlgbt moderator banned me, and is now accusing me of being an A.I. … … … because I use fucking emdashes and ellipses.
