Another caveat is that this pre-supposes that it's about the business models, rather than something else, with potentially much less limited budget

@zzzeek
If the business models fail (bubble bursts), much of the push to insert LLMs / agentic into everything everywhere will vanish without the funding, while simultaneously the costs of LLMs / agentic will skyrocket without the subsidies

LLMs / agentic will become a pedestrian part of the AI field, used in the specialised cases where they're useful

#GenAI -- YET ANOTHER life vest for the mediocre white man.... 😖


Note the text in the still image attached to the post:

Workers perceive workslop and the person who created it in ways that depend on the identity of the slopper, and thus amplify existing biases.

If and when “AI accelerated work” has •fake• benefits for actual results but that still generates a •real• career boost, well, that’s a boost that is not equally available to all people.



@trebach I trust the ".ai" TLD less in 2026 than I did previously, as a lot of slopware is now using the TLD. If I see a site using this TLD I am less likely to click the link or navigate to the website.

Not a peep from you since this last post, #EFF. I know it's usual for the people who run #tech social-media accounts to be craven and cowardly about "negativity" from the public but I would like you to behave in a slightly more adult fashion if possible.

Would you please acknowledge that the #GenAI fad is a destructive force and not a "transformative" one, @eff ?


"[T]houghtfully and openly" sounds like typical feedback on instructions by #genai to me.


on Android the yt app is getting noticably more buggy. Sound stops working. Or picture freezes while sound continue to play. Not loading anything at all... Etc etc I am often restarting the app to get it to work

I WONDER WHAT CHANGED IN THE DEV WORKFLOWS RECENTLY.... OH WAIT #genAI


> I’m extremely skeptical of the idea that LLMs make any significant positive contribution to the long-term speed or cost of writing •good• software, but they clearly have the potential to lower the floor for •bad• software to unheard-of levels at unheard-of speeds

@Jumpmed
Yes, amazing how a #google search for that exact part number brought up nothing, except useless #genai advice.


and why did Ford believe that?
- wishful thinking + no regard for their employees + lies from those selling #GenAI

#LLM


I’m pretty sure that some flavors of #GenAI will find wholesome uses in the post-bubble future, but for the moment I feel a wave of revulsion every time I encounter AI cheerleading because it never NEVER acknowledges the force-field of greed and fear under the overhang of the multi-trillion-dollar bet being made by people I loathe who are oblivious to the oncoming financial and social wreckage they are facilitating.


"every single warning that paper made about large language models has now happened at scale"

1. The hallucination problem before anyone had a word for it.
2. Bias amplification
3. Environmental cost
4. Documentation — the training datasets being assembled were too large for anyone to actually audit

Timnit Gebru was fired from Google in December 2020 for refusing to retract a research paper, and every single warning that paper made about large language models has now happened at a scale the industry spent 4 years trying to make people forget about.

Today's Google Announcement that they are essentially killing search and making it just AI summaries so you don't need to go to the original sites may be a blessing in disguise. Present day content creators that really produce content will be strangled off. The new paradigm will be feeding the LLM bots. What will they be fed? They'll be fed more LLM generated content. It'll be a human centipede of content. Those of us who want that, which sadly is probably like >80% of the population, will go to their big tech LLM portals as their sole source of content. The producers that eschew that will continue to produce and hopefully connect with those of us that can't stand that fucking shit. How do we maximize access and discovery to these real producers and not slop farms? That's the question we should be asking. I don't think this will be the demise of Google or any of the big tech platforms. There is plenty of money to be made feeding junk food to the masses. I think we should think about how we generate sufficient discoverability to real creators and get sufficient revenue streams to them that they can keep doing it for a living, or at least a decent paying part time gig. #google #GenAI



I was only made aware of this (frankly awesome) case of LLM poisoning today: nature.com/articles/d41586-026…. A researcher made up a disease and published two evidently fake preprints about it (including sentences such as “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”), which were almost immediately picked up by LLMs and documented in their output. Worse, actual – supposedly serious – medical papers also started citing the preprints, demonstrating that academics relying on LLMs to do their work is a genuine problem! Not that I had my doubts but, if anyone did, this seems like the perfect demonstration of the problem. Article immediately added to the syllabus of the class I am co-teaching with Iris Ferrazzo on LLMs for Romance Studies/Humanities!

:space_exp_artemis: 🚀 We just sent a team of humans to the moon and safely home.

Not one bit of generative AI was used or needed.

You don't need it in your office or organization, either.

We can do great things without pillaging public resources and funds for a scam.

Well said. Exactly correct.

#GenAI answers by pattern matching by frequency of occurrence in the data. If most people get it wrong, the answer is wrong. Nuance and validity are not a criteria unless that's frequently found. #LLMs trained on the Internet—you will never find a more wretched hive of DATA scum and villainy—spout only the opinion and spin they find, as what is more frequently found than that?
