‘AI clog’: UK public bodies battle onslaught of chatbot-generated complaints | AI (artificial intelligence) | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/nov/08/ai-clog-public-bodies-local-authorities-onslaught-chatbot-generated-correspondence Again, BigTech really didn't consider the implications when they unleashed the monster. Or better, they didn't give a damn, and only considered the profit aspect. Shame they haven't made any yet. #AI #GenAI

RE: https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/117571904052985607 In Paraguay, on average everyone of 60% of the country lost 37,600 USD because a Trump-associated bank went all-in on LLMs and then collapsed. These people lost all their savings, they have nothing. #GenAI
Quoting
Ueno Bank in Paraguay has collapsed leaving 3 million people without money. Paraguayan President Santiago Peña submitted his resignation and faces unanimous impeachment by the lower house of Congress. The bank had ties to the Trump administration via the country’s President. About 60% of adults in the country used the bank. People are turning up at the bank’s office. $37600 US dollars per customer is (was) the average deposit. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-11-05/paraguay-s-pena-resigns-amid-ueno-bank-crisis-abc-reports-mw3qgdu9

If you want to avoid FOSS which uses GenAI/LLMs, there's a guide called "AI-free FOSS Alternatives" at: 🏡 https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/ai-free-foss-alternatives It's heavy on technical terms and detail, so it's good for comparing different projects and navigating least-worst options, but does require some prior tech knowledge to understand. It also has a section listing reasons why LLMs are problematic: 🏡 https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/ai-free-foss-alternatives/src/branch/main/why_not_llms.md #FOSS #GenAI #LLM #AI #AntiAI

i found the perfect analogy vor "AI" use Using AI is like eating fast food. Technically it is food, you get "full", but not in a sustained way. Instant but shallow gratification. Once in a while its fine, but only eating fast food will have consequences. It feels cheaper, but gets expensive really fast if eating a lot of it. You don’t need skill or effort to get it. Its addictive. It is healthier to never eat fast food. #ai #genai #chatgpt #slop #vibecoding #llm #slopware #aislop #claude

Replying to
@PixelfedGlitch@hachyderm.io @neillans@infosec.exchange I wonder what is the #genAI policy for #pixelfedglitch ?

"Google Ireland, which runs Google Search in the EU, now faces a fine of up to €250,000 for each breach, or detention of its managers..." Or the detention of its managers. OR THE DETENTION OF ITS MANAGERS! This is the only punishment that can bring firms like #Google into line #Defamation #Search #GenAI German courts rule Google liable for what its AI search says

'the prime minister has been flirting with the idea of giving away the copyright of Australian creatives in exchange for tech companies building giant data centres that no one but the tech companies want built...exploitation of Australian resources by foreign companies is so vast, and has been happening for so long, that it is hard for most Australians to comprehend just how royally we have been shafted' #publicPolicy #genAI #technology #ausPol #labor

"AI Bros Are Having a Meltdown Because the Associated Press Stylebook Clarifies That AIs Don’t Have Feelings" by @Futurism@flipboard.com - The @AssociatedPress@flipboard.com Stylebook was updated to prohibit anthropomorphizing #AI, referring to it like a thinking person. "Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics". AI #tech delivers on artificial, with appearance of intelligence as a goal. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-bros-meltdown-feelings #GenAI #AISlop #media

here's a take i don't think i heard yet: the better LLMs are, the *more* they're dangerous. not because they can "go rogue", nothing like that. rather the better LLMs are, the likelier people are to trust them. you'll never use an LLM that's wrong half of the time as a search engine, but one that's only wrong 10% of the time might be good enough. you'll never use an LLM that's wrong 10% of the time to automate your job, but one that's only wrong 1% of the time might be good enough. you'll never hook an LLM that's wrong 1% of the time to a nuclear weapon. but one that's only wrong 1‰ of the time might be good enough. stochastic parrots don't get less dangerous the more their output aligns with reality. the opposite is true: since the biggest danger a stochastic parrot poses is a human trusting one to make decisions, a dangerous LLM's the one that's more convincing and less likely to be caught during testing. in classical AI safety research there's a lot of talk about a smart AI Volkswagening during testing to make itself seem safe, with all sorts of calculations for the odds such an AI will show its true form in any given attempt and yada yada. but what that classic research didn't seem to take into account is that an "artificial intelligence" doesn't need to actually be intelligent to replicate the same behaviour. a machine that sometimes appears safe and intelligent and sometimes doesn't can mislead you just as well, without having an evil plan or even the capability to come up with one. and just like a machine that's evil needs to appear good just often enough to convince you it isn't, a machine that lacks intelligence needs to be right just often enough to convince you it doesn't. #LLM #LLMs #AI #genAI #FuckAI #AIWWIII #OpenAI #Anthropic #AISafety #StochasticParrot

Kävin tänään koulun vanhempainillassa. Siellä kerrottiin, että Tampereen kaupunkiseudun kunnissa on käytössä Googlen oppimisympäristö ja sen mukana myös Googlen Gemini. Siis yläkoulussa 13-15 vuotiailla lapsilla on koulussa käytössä LLM-tekoäly. #perkele #koulu #genai

The more you use GenAI/LLMs, the more likely you are to become dependent on them. If you become dependent on GenAI/LLMs, they will subtly control what you do, whilst also stealing labour, burning the planet, enabling fascist billionaires, destroying discourse, erasing culture, and deskilling devs who might otherwise create better alternatives. The more you become dependent on GenAI/LLMs, the harder it will be to quit them because by design they erode your ability to do things without them. They're going to burrow into your brain so tightly that one day it will seem impossible to give them up, even if you want to. #GenAI #LLM #AI

Apparently some Anthropic researcher is going around explaining LLM language tendencies and styles by comparing them to autistic people. Unacceptable. *Very* not cool. We've already had enough of this crap, being compared to computers and robots. We aren't fucking language models. We are living, breathing, multifaceted *human beings* who happen to have a different wiring plan than the majority of other human beings. Learn the fucking difference and stop comparing us to automated, unfeeling, unthinking, non-conscious, unnuanced, unnatural systems. #autism #LLMs #AI #GenAI #ActuallyAutistic #Anthropic #Claude

RE: https://social.coop/@cwebber/117321242779306632 One of the excuses that comes up again and again about GenAI/LLMs is "It's okay to use as long as a human is checking the output." In the real world, as the thread attests, humans *aren't* checking outputs, because their money-grabbing bosses are telling them to hurry up, time is money, why so slow etc. If GenAI/LLMs are used to make something, the most realistic assumption has to be that it will be used as sloppily as the company can get away with. (And even if this was solved, it would still leave environmental problems, labour theft, energy theft, water theft, deskilling, dependence on fascist CEOs etc.) #AI #GenAI #LLM

One of the top threads on the ClaudeAI subreddit right now: "I am done with this shit" https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1wm5c21/i_am_done_with_this_shit/

Curious to see just how much of the thread on a quite pro-genAI subreddit is people commiserating on the exhaustion of their work turning primarily into tedium and poor engineering.

Bonus in that the Claude AI summary bot in the thread says:

The Rise of the Meat Proxy: You're not an engineer anymore, you're an "organic vessel designed to press enter." Or, as one user so poetically put it, you're just a condom between Claude and your production server getting fucked. Your only real job is to be the warm body they can blame when the AI slop inevitably breaks.
