Facial age estimation tech is being rolled out in the UK asylum system ⚠️

A damning investigation from Lighthouse Reports reveals that the Home Office’s own assessment of these tools found them to be deeply flawed.

Yet it's being rolled out regardless of the potentially dangerous consequences.

                  Using open source LLMs via Ollama [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                  I've been trying to minimize my use of LLMs, but as a software engineer there are some tasks that are way easier, so it's hard to cut out completely.

                  So I've started paying for Ollama so I can use open source models (glm5.2, kimi-k2.7) in the cloud whenever possible.

                  Works with claude code and codex etc. too.

                  Using Ollama instead of claude or chatgpt means my data is private, my prompts aren't being used to train models, nor is my money.

                                  LLM, negative, loss of trust [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                                  Some people think that usage costs rising will start undoing some of the harm caused by the hype. I don't think that's really going to help that much.

                                  I'm not even talking about all the projects that were ensloppified and enshittified already. I'm not talking about all the technical debt. I'm not talking about all the forks that will have to be maintained forever. I'm not talking of all the projects that were abandoned because of burnout, or because they were only hype-oriented. And I'm not talking about all the corporations that will continue submitting slop.

                                  I'm talking about the loss of trust. After all, we're not talking of people who realized they were wrong and are sorry. We're not talking of people realizing that it was wrong to forfeit ethics and morals in the name of "productivity". We're talking of people who are jumping ships because their previous approach turned out not to be profitable anymore. We're talking of gamblers who left the casino because they went broke. They aren't sorry that they gambled; they are sorry that they've lost. And they'd be happy to do it again at the nearest opportunity.

                                  So, I'm sorry to say, but is never going to be the same again. A lot of people have shown their true colors, and I won't forget that.

                                          We have the mind of Christ, but use the voice of a machine?

                                          By Elizabeth Prata

                                          I heard a really interesting thought on a Facebook short, of all places. It was a clip from an NPR interview with Dave Eggers, author, publisher, and Pulitzer finalist. The show was Wild Cards hosted by Rachel Martin. In it, Eggers said,

                                          “This is the first time in history when a whole generation is being told or tempted to have a machine write for them to express themselves. But I say, you are one of one, unprecedented in in the history human evolution. There’s only one of you. So to give your voice to a machine to say, ‘Speak for me. I’m going to be silent.’ I’m going to tell a machine to express myself or to tell my narrative is such a crime against yourself.”

                                          “It’s so dystopian, so beyond anything I could do in a dystopian novel, and I did a lot, and I never saw this coming. That an entire generation, too many of them, acquiescing to the silencing of their own voice in favor of a bland, unthinking machine to voice their souls.” –end Eggers quote

                                          I think many of us who write or create never saw this coming. And since it’s still so new, we are grappling with the impact, fallout, and future of AI. His words made a lot of sense to me. For us Christians, though, it goes very much deeper than that.

                                          Artificial intelligence technology has evolved faster than most Christians have been able to think about it. ~Samuel James, at Desiring God

                                          Taking ‘evolution’ out of the equation, because that is a made-up untrue theory, and we all do realize we are uniquely made, yes, there is only one of me. Faceless evolution didn’t create me, the God of the universe did! And not only are we made purposely, intentionally, and with love by God, we are created in His image.

                                          This notion should be on our minds every moment. It is a dignity afforded no other creature. It gives us the opportunity to speak His truth of the Gospel, reflect His character. Our voices are for the incredible privilege of sharing His Gospel and truths of the Bible. Why put a cold, metallic, faceless machine in that place of dignity?

                                          Can we consider the possibility that swapping our own unique image-of-God voice for a voice of Artificial Intelligence is not only a crime against ourselves, but that giving away our God-given talents and creative abilities for the ease of a push-button machine may possibly be thought of as a crime against God? Should we be swapping our transformed mind of Christ at the cost of Jesus’ blood and death, for a man-made device? Just because it’s easier?
