🤔 Instead of creating new terms/words for AI and LLMs that have run amuck, I think “AI bullshit” and “LLM bullshit” both roll off the tongue rather well. You may optionally shorten bullshit to “BS” or even the 💩 emoji if you prefer. I encourage you to call people out on their bullshit when they are abusing this autocompletion technology.
BREAKING: House passes bill to criminalize criticism of Israel — a bill opposed by numerous Jewish groups, numerous Jewish members of Congress, and the ACLU.
Am Donnerstag vergangener Woche sagte Nadella den Analysten in der Telefonkonferenz Axios zufolge: "Sicherheit liegt unter jeder Schicht des technischen Aufbaus und ist unsere Nummer-1-Priorität". 🤭😂
You see a notification that something you have boosted has been edited. You check and it’s now an incendiary troll message you don’t remember ever seeing.
All the comments underneath are clearly in reference to another topic, so these people haven’t seen the troll message either.
What is this? Has this been seen before and where do I report this?
Cisco hat #eBPF im Jahre 2024 für sich entdeckt, mit #KI Glitzer-Hypes garniert und viel Blahfasel drum herum gewirsingt... alles komplettes Tralala Hypershield HyperHyper CyberCyber 🙄🤦♀️
I am #cisgender, so #SelfID laws do not affect me at all, neither positively nor negatively. Transphobes wanted to manipulate me and other people into thinking they threaten me somehow but this is #bullshit. Don't fall for it.
If that were true, several societies with such laws should have already have fallen. I'm still waiting. This didn't happen, therefore it's fearmongering.
Oh nein, anderthalb Minuten von der neuen #Scobel-Folge geguckt und ich musste wegen der Bullshit-Flashbacks erst mal auf den Pauseknopf drücken.
“So, und damit ihr weiterkommt, müsst ihr Kurse belegen. Denn der Change, soll ja begleitet werden. Deshalb bestimmt die Führungsebene auch die relevanten Kurse und das Curriculum. Die Learnings, die ihr in so einem Kurs macht, dienen am Ende natürlich nur dazu, eure Awareness zu fördern. Der Kurs macht euch adaptiv. […] Es geht darum, euer Vertrauen in den Purpose zu stärken, weil auch das kreativer macht und euch zu New Work empowert.”
Si vous avez 15 min devant vous, que le sujet « AI » vous intéresse et que la lecture en anglais ne vous rebute pas, je recommande totalement ce papier.
En 2 mots : l’IA a de forte chance de ne servir à rien en dehors de quelques niches, pour le moment est juste une machine à bullshit et fantasmes SF claqués que nous vendent à toute force les dirigeants de ces boites. On nous assure un avenir saturé d’IA, mais en définitive très peu d’applications pratiques apportent vraiment de la valeur…
L'IA sert à pas grand chose en définitive et pourrait conduire à l’éclatement d’une gigantesque bulle financière.
Son autre usage — bien plus consistant — est d’enrober sous une excuse technoïde des décisions et pratiques visant à accélérer encore l’intensité de l’exploitation de la main d’œuvre tout en faisant pression à la baisse sur les rémunération.
Je me demande même s’il ne s’agit pas de l’objectif premier de tout ce #bullshit
Cory @pluralistic Doctorow: “Somewhere between replacing the system and using the system lies a pragmatic — if easily derailed — course.
“[Audre] Lorde is telling us that a rotten system can’t be redeemed by using its own chosen reform mechanisms. [Martin Luther King Jr. is] telling us that unless we live, we can’t fight — so anything within the system that makes it easier for your comrades to fight on can hasten the end of the system.”
> One old model of journalism funding involved wealthy newspaper families profiting handsomely by selling local appliance store owners the right to reach the townspeople who wanted to read sports-scores. These families expressed their patrician love of their town by peeling off some of those profits to pay reporters to sit through municipal council meetings or even travel overseas and get shot at.
Audre Lorde counsels us: "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House," MLK said "the law cannot make a man love me, but it can restrain him from lynching me." Somewhere between replacing the system and using the system lies a pragmatic - if easily derailed - course.

Just drove by a church that I remembered having services all through covid. A number of their dip shit followers fucking died. They probably killed a number of other people not so foolish as to be a part of that.
The fact they did this is clear proof they value keeping people in the cult more than the lives of people in it. #Athiesm#covid#church #bullshit
Le toujours formidable Cory Doctorow aka @pluralistic sur l'usage des AI (et le fait que leur business modèle ne peut reposer que sur l'exploitation des humains, à la manière des entrepôts Amazon, au lieu de leur libération)
