Cory Doctorow @pluralistic on #AI:

[T]he AI bubble is driven by monopolists who've conquered their markets and have no more growth potential, who are desperate to convince investors that they can continue to grow by moving into some other sector, e.g. "pivot to video," crypto, blockchain, NFTs, AI, and now "super-intelligence." Further: the topline growth that AI companies are selling comes from replacing most workers with AI, and re-tasking the surviving workers as AI babysitters ("humans in the loop"), which won't work. Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

pluralistic.net/2025/05/27/ran…

The only thing […] that we can do about this is to puncture the AI bubble as soon as possible, to halt this before it progresses any further and to head off the accumulation of social and economic debt. To do that, we have to take aim at the material basis for the AI bubble (creating a growth story by claiming that defective AI can do your job).

I forgot that I did eventually edit the first line of the book. It was originally, "I did not want to write this book."

Disabling Intelligences eBook is available now link.springer.com/book/10.1007…

Image text : I’ll be honest. When thinking about what books might live in me, this was never one of them. It was certainly not the book I thought I would write first. I never wanted to become known for artificial intelligence (AI) criticism at all. I want to sit in a lab and tinker with tech, building little gadgets that delight my disabled kin. I want to maintain surreptitious code bases of free little hacks that disrupt our perpetually inaccessible and downright-hostile world. I want to share disabled DIY specs through crumpled little zines posted in libraries and coffee houses. I want to run a free digital manufacturing center just for disabled people to come and build exactly what they want without a doctor, insurance company, or bank account telling them what body they’re allowed to have.
But in order to do that, I have to fight the inadequacies in technology policy and medical care. And in order to do that, I have to fight the AI industrial complex. Because underneath every insurance rejection is a predictive algorithm, behind every assistive technology is a data collection scheme, and now, behind every technology policy is an AI hype man.

Nvidia: AI’s Powerhouse, But Is It Too Late to Buy?

Nvidia dominates the AI GPU market with 90%+ share, fueling record revenue growth and becoming Wall Street’s AI darling. With data center demand exploding, long-term growth looks massive but sky-high valuation and rising competition make it a high-risk, high-reward bet.

But we are not done.

Teach your developers ignore #AI generated warnings with this one weird trick!


If you look sy my previous post, under the erroneous "You should use OAI" message, there's a little icon and the word "Explain." You can ask the #LLM to explain the warning. Here's the explanation that Claude Sonnet 4.0 has for that warning. For those of you who don't want to read a screenshot, the LLM has prompted itself with:

Explain CloudFront Distribution Resources have an S3 Origin configured without an Origin Access Identity (OAI). issue in 70-frontend-stack.yaml at [29]


And the LLM's response to its own prompt is:

This is a false positive security warning. The issue is incorrectly flagged because:

You ARE using access control - Line 16-23 creates an Origin Access Control (OAC), which is the modern replacement for OAI

OAC is properly configured - Line 38 attaches the OAC: OriginAccessControlId: !GetAtt CloudFrontOriginAccessControl.Id

S3 bucket policy enforces OAC - Lines 120-135 ensure only CloudFront can access the S3 bucket

The security scanner likely only checks for the legacy OriginAccessIdentity property and doesn't recognize the newer OriginAccessControlId. Your configuration is actually more secure than using the deprecated OAI.

The warning can be safely ignored - your setup uses the AWS-recommended OAC approach for securing S3 origins.


Thanks for wasting my time AND egregious amounts of electricity generating a pointless "high priority" security warning.

Nvidia’s Rally Faces a Reality Check

Citi’s price cut and rising competition test Nvidia’s dominance. While NVDA still leads AI infrastructure with soaring revenues and strong demand for Blackwell chips, challenges from Broadcom, hyperscalers, and China are real. Long-term strength remains, but it’s no longer a “buy at any cost” stock.

Naflakal jsem verzi s AI za 6 hodin cisteho casu (3 hodiny pred deadlinem) a dnes 4 hodiny cistil.

«Мешок слов» — не супруг, не наставник, не босс и не раб. Это инструмент. Его предназначение — снимать с нас рутину и усиливать наши способности. Его социальный статус — отсутствует; бессмысленно спрашивать, «лучше» ли он нас. Настоящий вопрос такой: становимся ли мы лучше, когда им пользуемся?

ИИ — просто мешок слов. Как перестать видеть интеллект там, где его нет

#ai #LLM

Наука — это «задача сильного звена»: даже если мы произведём в миллион раз больше посредственных исследований, окажемся там же, где и сейчас.
Если нам нужно больше действительно сильных работ, чем же наполнять "мешок" LLM? Можно забивать его статьями, но часть из них — сфабрикованы, часть — просто ошибочны, и все они содержат неявные допущения, которые могут оказаться ложными.
К тому же часто не хватает ключевой информации — нет данных, недостаточно подробно описаны методы.

Предприниматель Маркус Страссер, пытавшийся сделать компанию из серии «положим все статьи в "мешок" → ??? → профит», в итоге отказался от затеи, заявив, что «почти ничего из того, что действительно делает науку наукой, не опубликовано в виде текста в интернете».

Даже лучший "мешок" в мире бесполезен, если в него не положить правильные вещи.
