Too funny.

The judge, finding AI hallucinations in the court filings and learning lawyers on both sides of the case used #AI to create their briefs, cancels the trial and kicks everyone off the case.

"This case presents the Court with an unusual scenario—attorneys for both litigants engaged in similar sanctionable conduct. This court is yet again burdened with addressing AI hallucinations in court filings."

All 4 lawyers were disqualified, 2 barred from the court for 2 years. All were fined.

Hard pass. Privacy, either the illusion of it or what's left of it, comes first here. Siri is turned off where found on.

If an AI Agent changes your password and hands it to you, it’s not /your/ password.

Open AI, the company behind ChatGPT and destruction of our watersheds and breathable air, just sent out an email about their privacy policy to users.

They have probably about a dozen ways to know where each user is, and even thought they know I'm not in Quebec, the email is in English and French. One email for an entire continent.

And they want to sell us intelligence.

Can't sell whatcha don't got! Zing! Bingo!

Why we letting these fools dictate laws and data center construction?!

I was afraid of this.

The risk is that hosted #AI assistants and chatbots gradually become part of a broader surveillance stack—collecting, correlating, and retaining far more data than users realize.
Beware what you wish for. Convenience and privacy often pull in opposite directions.
#Canada #AI 🤔

It’s absurd

People are paying for AI tokens to create bot accounts on #Mastodon to post nonsense, increasing the costs for servers, storage and emails all while making the #AI hype even bigger so our servers are gonna costs a lot more

And some wonder why I hate pointless LLMs (AI) so much🤔

WARNING: Apple MacOS 27 is reportedly loaded with massive, non-disableable Google Gemini AI SLOP

Presumably Apple is paying Google a fortune for access to their
misinformation SLOP machine Gemini AI, and Apple wants to make sure you can't opt-out. That's how the billionaire Big Tech CEOs operate. They stuff this garbage DOWN YOUR THROAT like they own you. DISGUSTING.

Reports so far -- subject to change as I learn more -- are that unlike in previous versions of macOS there is no simple way to disable "Apple Stupidity" -- oops, I meant "Apple Intelligence" which is wedded at the hip to Siri. Also, reports are that the AI crap alone is taking 10s of gigabytes of space and comes right back when deleted. If you don't have a big storage Mac, this is going to hurt. Does Apple care? OF COURSE NOT. Like Google, it's all about keeping their billionaire CEOs living the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed and we could never dream of.

You might let Apple know how you feel about this, for whatever good it does.

If I learn more that changes any of this, I'll let you know.

There was no AI (as we know it today) when I was in law school. But we had a name for this kind of case: 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘷. 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦.

Meta removed facial-recognition code from its smart glasses app days after reports revealed systems designed to identify people through biometric signatures. 👓
The reversal followed public scrutiny, but questions remain over future deployment plans and any data collected during internal testing. 🔒

"Ever heard of the Enuma Elish? It’s this ancient Babylonian myth where the gods got tired of working, so they created humans to be their slave class. Sound familiar?"

"In this video, I’m exploring how Silicon Valley is basically reenacting this exact same story right now. Except this time, we want to be the gods, and AI is the new slave class."

"I dive into the difference between being made in the "Image of God" vs. the "Image of Man" (Imago Hominis), and why that distinction matters more than ever. We aren't building a god; we are building a mirror—and the reflection isn't always pretty."

The #COVID19 lockdowns were the fork in the road. The communities of the world independantly huddled up - paused in a moment of dead sober reflection.

Down one path, the world joined forces to combine knowledge and worked together to eradicate a deadly virus, a threat to all mankind.

While they did so they noticed with extraction and manufacturing and transport running at a bare minimum, nature began to heal. We found a way out of the climate crisis, and proof that ecosystems can be restored - sometimes in short order.

We learned that we can cooperate and share information and tackle problems together. We kept it up, got real socialist with large-scale adoption of UBI, housing first, harm reduction, staffed & funded healthcare for free for all... the arms race ground to a halt. Nations set aside petty past problems in order to contribute to a livable planet for everyone.

The distribution of vaccines became equitable, available to all. Misinformed about them is a thing of the past. Food and clean water are made available to hungry communities.

Education flourishes. Bright minds solve real problems. Everyone prospers.

Down the other path, the billionaires realised the pandemic was the perfect time to enact a new world order, where they would - eventually - rule as technocratic dictators.

They took every precaution against covid for themselves, while forcing their own employees back into cramped offices with dirty air and no sick time.

They invented the most potent drug imaginable and called it Normal. The entire westernised world is instantly hooked. One intended side-effect is the inability to care about what your eyes and ears tell you, and allows your lips and fingertips to deliver the billionaires lies.

They kicked off a game of hungry hungry hippos - snatching up any value by any means. Gone is any ambition of any corporation providing anything of use any longer. Gone are the *fun* brands of our youth. Everything and every person becomes an ATM.

Billionaires became multi-centibillionaires. The very first trillion dollar company emerged - soon followed by a dozen more.

The claim of AI-now-AGI-soon was a perfect vehicle for moving around unfathomable amounts of cash. It also accelerated an already erroding public trust. It destroyed entire occupations, displacing many from jobs in an already tight market. It misused an devastating amount of natural resources, further damaging the environment.

The manufactures of end-user electronics stop doing so. General purpose computing stops. Only a few electronic devices are available to regular people. They are all surveillance devices that have familiar functions: phone, streaming tv...

Since the multi-centibllionaires own all the popular media/social media and have spent a fortune discouraging critical thinking, the majority of people inadvertently champion all of this. Their likes and shares and subscriptions fund it.

An alternative is too hard.

#Privacy #AI #Singularity

AI is not the future of anything except domination and control. AI is the death of the future and the return to a dark age of conformity and social thought control. AI regurgitates accepted dogma and is a bar to real research and inspired creativity. AI is a homogeneity engine.

People becoming dependent upon AI will be homogenized zombies. Of course the AI will convince them they are wise thinkers. The more obedient they are to their hidden masters, the black box owners, the more the singularity system will assure them they are the avant garde of gray matter.

I have already seen numerous instances of idiots depending upon AI to come up with ridiculous conclusions while defending them like Don Qixote. This is becoming epidemic among researchers and techies.

Watch out for the controlled opposition--public figures pretending to be against creeping enslavement while leading their followers to do absolutely nothing useful to curtail or stop the advance.
