Death by a thousand slops
I have previously blogged about the relatively new trend of AI slop in vulnerability reports submitted to curl and how it hurts and exhausts us. This trend does not seem to slow down.daniel.haxx.se
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?
Public AI – Open Future
Examining AI policies and governance mechanisms that secure the common good, respect open-sharing, account for power imbalances and safeguard digital rights.Open Future
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:

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.

I wonder if there is a #WordPress plugin for this‽ It would be great if #WriteFreely & #Ghost offered this feature as well.
Cloudflare will now block AI crawlers by default
Cloudflare has announced that it will now block AI web crawlers by default for new customers. It’s also introducing a new “Pay Per Crawl” fee that will let some publishers make AI companies pay to scrape their content.Emma Roth (The Verge)
Yet more reason to be skeptical about #AI salespeople.

I'm not a big fan of the Naked Gun #movie franchise. I don't dislike it
Same with #LiamNeeson
But I'm now a huge fan of their #advertising campaign (this #moviePoster just came out yesterday)
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.

Canada ranks among least AI literate countries in the world: study
As countries around the world race to leverage artificial intelligence (AI), a recent study found that Canada is falling behind, although it’s not due to a lack of innovation, but growing uncertainty and a gap in public understanding, one expert says…Joshua Santos (CTVNews)
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.

China Smashes Solar Installation Record
China set a global record by installing 93 GW of solar capacity in May, surpassing any other country's full-year total, though growth is expected to slow due to new regulatory changes.Charles Kennedy (OilPrice.com)
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.

Excerpts in 🧵
'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.

Ban ‘Crime Predicting’ Police Tech
The Lie AI and police tech don’t predict crime - they predict policing. These technologies are built on existing, flawed, police data.38 Degrees
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.
