I've got Claude and GitHub Copilot in an argument over calculating entropy when successive events are tightly correlated.

It's giving me endless pleasure to watch them double down and dig their heels in their respective arguments. They are both unambiguously, demonstrably, provably correct. They're both supporting their argument with conflicting citations.

Fuck #AI.

@aardvark - No. This is the issue:

Big AI (read: that has central compute in big data centers that destroy local environments and economies) are being forced on everyone through a concerted effort involving forced adaptation, govt subsidies, and corporate subsidies. The underlying goals are wealth transfer, compute control, and information control.

Those in power and leadership that ignore this are at best complicit in furthering the harm and are at worst actively pushing, facilitating, and enacting harm.

Those that use LLMs often see a localized and immediate benefit (eg in their work or daily convenience), but at a greater long term and deep expense.

But while I don't think users should use LLMs, many don't have a choice and many folks would choose short term immediate gains over long term harm because they lack leverage and just have to survive.

So, in the original post, I am specifically targeting the leader. Who at best is complicit. And at worst is at fault.

This is the second post where you'd dropped the F bomb....for good reason.

I have so much to say but not sure how to say it but I will do my best. For *years*, I've enjoyed using #Linux both as a hobbyist and professional #sysadmin. The OS is definitely not the one I started with 20+ years ago. Since at least COVID has....well, it's turned into a full blown corporate-controlled high speed sprawling mess. Not necessarily matured just grown exponentially wherever the various powers see fit. For this and other reasons, I am leaning more and more towards #FreeBSD.

Lastly, I will admit there are some #AI niche use cases which do interest me (related to my own hobbies) but shoving it into everything is not a good idea.

The argument that "AI works therefore we should use it" is akin to "Torture works therefore we should use it."

I don't mean that as hyperbole.

The underlying purpose of AI is at least twofold:

1) It puts a layer of abstraction over information.
- Primary Source: Raw data (eg video footage of an event)
- Secondary Source: Analysis (eg Low bias news and analysis of what this event means in the context of other events)
- Tertiary Source: Meta Analysis (eg Encyclopedia entries summing up Analysis)
- Quaternary Source: News Opinion and Propaganda (eg a "News Entertainment" channel that tells you what to think regarding the event)
- Pentanary (?) Source: TLDR summations divorced from underlying sources (eg AI summations, guides, etc that describe events or provide recommendations and guidance but follow behind the scenes algorithms that control the output)

The purpose of this layer of abstraction is control of information and removing the distribution of information from the actual events. This allows for influence campaigns, tuned marketing, tuned propaganda, and therefore control.

2) Centralization of compute power
- Computers in our hands that we control allow us a lot of power.
- Moore's Law no longer applies to localized compute power so we are in an era of repair and maintenance.

That means two things for corporations. Loss of income and loss of control.
- Forcing us to use centralized compute forces us to continue to spend money
- Localized AI engines still allow for centralized algorithms. (open sourced algos and localized engines dont factor in here as use and usecases are low)

AI is being pushed so heavily because both governments and corporations need it to further their wealth and power.

They push it via both making it cheap and accessible and having a veneer of usability.

This is a similar pattern to "Underpricing competition to drive them out and then jacking up rates when you have a monopoly", "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" and similar approaches.

So.

I am not arguing whether AI is useful. I am arguing that its use is detrimental to us. In fact, the more it becomes useful the worse it becomes BECAUSE more people adopt it. It hurts us as we use it. It hurts us more as we use it more.

Tying it back, I don't care if torture is useful and gets your desired results. Torture is bad and it hurts us.

Damn. This quote from Linus Torvalds is... well... damning.

In response to a discussion around use of generative AI as it relates to contributions to the Linux code base, Linus (creator and lead contributor to Linux) firmly states that AI contributions are welcome.

But then he goes on and concludes with this:

"The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.

Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.

This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.

In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.

And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.

Linus"

A lot of us are on Linux specifically because of the social and political positives. Closed source is control. Open source is democracy.

Linus doing the typical tech-bro "i don't think of politics, I only think of tech" harkens back to any number of "science without ethics" atrocities.

Linus is and has always been a tech-bro (or proto tech bro). He has his throne of power and is happy where he is. Other tech-bros want money and influence. They're all the same.

But Linus is wrong.

Tech is politics.

And his stance and guiding influence with Linux is wrong.

Linus just made a political statement and has shifted the politics and societal approach of Linux.

Gods, I've had my head down these last few months with family and life stuff, so I've not been kept fully abreast.

But Canonical doing the most Canonical thing and fully embracing AI just plain hurts.

I'm such a (classic) Luddite. It feels like the world is collapsing around me.

And its not just "new tech bad".

I love the advances we're having in balcony solar, and cutting edge hydroponics, and non-LLM automation, and machine learning as it relates to medicine and accessibility, and meshnet communication standards and tech.

I hate surveillance tech like Palantir and Flock, just like I hated blockchain and NFTs, and Generative AI LLMs, etc.

I'm just going to core out a space in my life and find folks who do the same and try to strengthen them.

Looks like I'm going to move to OpenBSD soon though, so that's nice.

George Lucas believes AI is the future of filmmaking.

Speaking to A Rabbit’s Foot, Lucas said AI will make it much easier to create movies, adding:

“There’s nothing you can do about it. That’s progress, it’s the future.”

He compared AI to the arrival of the automobile, arguing that every major technological shift faces skepticism before becoming part of everyday life.

Do you agree with him?

Hey Windows (ab)users, Microsoft has a big present for you: Today they released software updates to plug at least 570 security holes in their Windows operating systems and other software, almost triple the number of vulnerabilities the software giant fixed in its record-smashing Patch Tuesday release last month. Microsoft attributed the burgeoning patch counts to vulnerability discoveries aided by artificial intelligence. Ah, but there's a catch: AI is also speeding up the discovery of workable exploits.

Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is deploying #AI facial recognition in their stores.

It’s used for profiling.

“The system takes images of customers and runs them against a “watchlist,” a database of people who have previously been identified after “causing harm in some way,” said Chris Ochs, who works at SAFR at RealNetworks, the AI company that created SAFR Guard, the security system being used at Grocery Outlet. If there is a match, a phone notification is sent to the retailer using the system.”
