AI music generator Suno has pulled an ad featuring Mary J. Blige after discovering she had not approved it, and that the person they had made a deal with was not her official representative. The legendary R&B singer faced a barrage of online abuse after the release of the video, in which she appears to collaborate on an AI-generated song. Here's more from @Variety.

Some of the most widely shared content from the Iran conflict so far has been AI-animated LEGO videos released as part of a government's messaging. This article calls it "slopaganda," and both the U.S. and Iran have been using it from official accounts.

We have laws of war for autonomous weapons, while governments posting AI-generated memes from official channels have no rules at all, and the author makes a good case that this is a form of militarized AI too. Just a non-lethal one. For years, security awareness training told people one simple thing: when in doubt, go to the official source. That advice stops working when the official source is posting memes.

A few things this changes for anyone running security or communications:

- Your employees are being trained, every day, to expect official accounts to be casual and unreliable. That makes impersonation easier and weakens the "does this sound right?" instinct.

- AI-generated content is now cheap enough that a nation-state, a scammer, and a bored teenager can produce it all at the same quality. The content itself tells you nothing about who made it.

- Verification has to move from "does this look real" to "did this come through a channel I can confirm?" That means signed messages, known domains, and a phone call when it matters.

I'd love to see the same energy that goes into AI weapons policy applied to AI messaging from official accounts. In the meantime, keep your own company's official channels boring and factual. Boring is a security feature.

Turning collections data checks into an AI conversation

The advantages of accurate weather forecasts range from better crop yields to taking that extra water bottle on a long, hot hike. Weather forecasting may have reached a higher degree of accuracy now that scientists at Google have released an AI model that can see atmospheric changes more clearly and predict weather behavior more often. @Techcrunch has the details, including when we users will get access to these forecasts:

I am shopping around for attorneys to sue a couple businesses over their use of AI and automated voice customer service.

Due to my Parkinson's Plus, MSA, I have speech issues and over this past month, at multiple businesses, I haven't been able to get past their AI customer service loop to speak to a human because the AI can't understand me.

I even made an #ADA request for a human worker to the AI prompt.

I am going to sue to try to force their AI to understand an ADA prompt, or offer one, to bypass the AI/voice only customer support and directly connect to a human. #AI

One issue is, I talk slow and deliberate because I have to get the words out and some phrases are slower than others and AI customer support is too impatient to wait and moves on mid-sentence, not understanding my request

#Fediverse today consists of apps and app platforms. It is entirely app-centric.

Since fediverse (luckily) didn't attract much corporate attention yet, it is dominated by #FOSS culture, where people on the #SocialWeb are all "users" that are dependent on FOSS developers to serve their needs. Every dev focuses on their app features first and #interoperability second, leading to a patchwork of poorly integrated apps, and a janky overall experience. The app delivery model is not much different than Web 2.0.

A paradigm shift is possible, to a #SocialNetwork of apps and services, a service-oriented #fedi. The efforts around the #ActivityPub API can be the enabler of this shift.

In this new paradigm devs introduce solutions to a unified #SocialNetworking space, delivering new services to participants on the network. On top of a robust Protocol Layer they model social use cases in the Data Layer, integrating with services and building blocks already available.

https://coding.social/blog/prosocial-web

@omkar_foss

Totally. The way #AI wrecks #FOSS culture leads to a lot of soul searching on the merits of the FOSS model we always held dear. FOSS in-the-large may be complicit even to the rise of #BigTech and #LLM, while for individual participants - all working on proper principles and values - it is inherently unsustainable, a burnout factory.

I think AI also opens opportunities. Corporations using it further retracted from directly serving people, leaving empty space, niches for small initiatives to occupy and focus on humaness, real human-to-human connection we crave.

#HCOSS fits perfectly.

Social experience design #SX uses the concept of #SOSS here. See the quoted toot. FOSS software is delivered via Social supply chains, where the needs of all participants in the delivery process are considered.

This concept fits perfectly with the solution-oriented #ActivityPub fediverse of #apps and #services, to offer support. #ForgeFed makes a start on this path.

@reiver

Yes, I know. And endless strife.

SX separates #FOSS from the movement of people that creates it. FOSS is code/software + an open license. Period.

Under SX, where solution development involves software creation, FOSS is the end of the supply line. FOSS software is a SX artifact. Its only purpose is to serve the formulated solution that was the reason to start programming. And that solution in turn is only meaningful to the extent it fulfills people's needs.

Including the creator, if they need sustenance to continue their good work. This is the crux. It isn't there for FOSS creators, its an inherently unsustainable field.

Separating FOSS software from those creating it allows focus on healthy processes, that do not burnout their participants and they leave.

Here SX defines #SOSS, Sustainable open social systems..

An AI app can now turn a single illustration into a fully rigged 3D VTuber avatar.

Sumeragi’s VTuber Original Character Maker generates the model, expressions and lip-sync mouth shapes, with paid generation starting at a fraction of traditional commissions.

The launch is already sparking criticism over AI, copyright and quality concerns.

“For four minutes, heritage conservationist Udaya Kumar P L watched an AI agent wreak havoc on his computer. The agent was testing software it was developing and clearing the cache when “a quoting error in an AI-generated command turned the instruction into ‘delete everything’”. “When it understood and tried to kill the process, its safety system blocked the kill. Twice… The safety layer permitted the destruction,” Udaya wrote on X. A former IT professional, he eventually shut down the computer to prevent further loss.”

EVEN IF THE WEST QUITS,
CHINA WON’T 💎

There is something slightly surreal about people demanding that we simply stop AI. Stop developing it. Stop using it. Stop feeding it. Shut the whole bloody thing down.

Okay.

BUT THERE IS ONE SMALL PROBLEM.

CHINA.

Even if the entire Western world woke up tomorrow morning, deleted ChatGPT, unplugged every data centre and solemnly promised never to train another AI model, China would not say:

“WELL, FAIR PLAY. WE’LL STOP TOO.”

Nor would India, South Korea, Japan, the Gulf states or anybody else with serious technological ambitions. AI is no longer merely a clever consumer product. It is becoming infrastructure, scientific capability, economic power and military capability. And once that happens, countries do not voluntarily leave the field while their competitors keep playing.

ESPECIALLY AMERICA.

Can anyone seriously imagine the United States government announcing: “China may become the world’s dominant AI power. We have decided we’re comfortable with that.”

I NEARLY HURT MYSELF TYPING THAT LAST BIT LOL.

America is not going to sit quietly and watch China become dominant in strategically important technology. And China is already extremely good at things the West once assumed it would always dominate: manufacturing, batteries, solar, electric vehicles, infrastructure, robotics, transport and increasingly sophisticated technology.

AND SO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISN’T GOING TO GO AWAY.

That does not mean every use of AI is good. It does not mean corporations should be trusted. It does not mean there should not be regulation, boundaries, transparency or serious arguments about environmental costs, copyright, employment, surveillance and power.

THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS WORTH HAVING.

But “STOPPING AI” is not a realistic plan. That horse has not merely bolted. China is building a faster horse.

There now exists a caste system in #CS education, which did not exist a generation ago.

Compare the current curricula of the run-of-the-mill universities to the those of the top-of-the-heap universities. It is plain to see that ordinary colleges pump out common coder drones, who are equipped with little more than #AI prompting skills, and who know not what computability theory and complexity theory are. They are destined for a life of toil in #IT. On the other hand, top colleges drip out keen theoretical researchers and mathematically mature practitioners.

Those four early years divide the earning potential, the self esteem, and the life philosophy of these two castes of graduates.

For the past few decades, I have tried hard to repair some of that damage amongst my younger colleagues in the industry. But for most of them, their eyes glaze over, whenever they spot a Greek letter on paper.

Yes, there are indeed a few life-long learners who do not allow themselves to be defined by their humbler beginnings. But for the majority of IT practitioners today, this two-caste system incurs a life-long debility.

Here are the potential remedies:

• Stop telling school-age kids that CS is all just "coding".
• Stop exposing high school students to the AP CS courses that only habituate the young to the menial-coding mindset.
• Stop selling, as "CS", those college curricula that teach only menial-coding practices.
• Start renormalising the CS curricula across all accredited universities, and balance the practice with theory—just like back in the day.

it only had 1 miner bug where it accidentally right clicked and shat itself momentarily but it did fix itself within 5 seconds of doing so. turns out #ai does have a use, doesn't it?

Ah, too real. I just opened Barstow's Knowledge Based Program Construction, and the first page is a picture of a camera scanning KNUTH VOL 1. held by a robotic claw. #ai

There were EIGHT policy proposals put forth. (thats a lot!)

All are VERY interesting to see where people's ideas on how to use AI in open source.

While I'm certain Debian's middle road vote outcome is going to piss off tons of people on either side its good to see people making CLEAR rules.

I for one will NOT be discontinuing my usage of Debian over this vote or even stop updating.

I'll wait and see IF & HOW the maintainers -actually- use AI.

https://www.debian.org/vote/2026/vote_002

#debian #linux #ai

Just catching up on the Debian AI debate. The project has had a voting window over the past two weeks which just concluded.

Results are in and Debian maintainers voted to allow AI contributions with encouraged disclosure.

The winning proposal will hold the human contributor who uses AI accountable for the content they submit to the project.

#Debian #AI #Linux #OpenSource

@blogdiva

1. Members of the #Debian project are called "Debian Developers" for historical reasons. Not all DDs are uploading, i.e. they might participate in other ways.

2. The #GR was *NOT* for/against LLM or #AI in general, but only about its use for project specific tasks. Which is a very, very small part of what we distribute.

If you want to avoid LLM/AI (and you have my sympathy for that), you need to avoid e.g. the #Linux kernel.

Maybe take a look at one of the #BSDs.

so i have questions about #Debian:

1. are members ONLY developers?

2. only developers argued for/against #LLM #AI?

devs are the last people who should be involved in discussions about the ethics and legality of software. ie:

just reckoned, when a court recently decided you can't claim #copyright on #aislop, it didn't occur to me it means both closed and open copyright.

so, if using LLMs trained on works stolen or added without consent removes any claims of #FLOSS: what is Debian now? …🧵

#privacy #IoT #SmartGlasses

I'm deeply disappointed by the result of the #Debian #AI vote. I seems to me that the project is pretty much split down the middle on the issue, and I'm very unhappy that my ethical opposition puts me in the minority.

I'm not sure where we go from here, but I don't think I want to abandon ship after so many years in the project.

So if you think you can "just" solve the destruction of infrastructure done by #AI crawlers, think again.

"""
Today, git.kernel.org receives about 6M daily requests demanding to see random commits. Of these, 66% are still immediately batted away with the Anubis challenge, but 33% are now solving the math and getting through to the main site — because apparently what we have to offer is worth spending a ton of cycles to calculate the Anubis challenge.

It's impossible to tell with certainty which of these are bots and which are real humans — but chances are, if it's asking for an old commit in a random old fork, it's probably not a real developer trying to do their work.

With a bunch of generous assumptions, legitimate requests are only about 2% of git.kernel.org traffic — everything else are scrapers.

Looks like #AI #slop to me, but not sure. Like the prompt was "expose yourself to art" or similar.

The fingers in the painting look off to me, spindly and elongated. The back and hair of the woman have a shine I've seen in many AI images, and the shadow and fabric hang look "off"

Why are you picking on the fact that I'm using slave labor from these companies? Why should I sacrifice my convenience when others are going to be using their services anyway! They're still going to keep enslaving people whether i use their services or not. In fact, I'm actually doing a good thing, because I'm using that to make a positive contribution to the world! The problem of slavery really needs to be solved at state level.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that thanks to the developments in slavery soon enough we'd be able to ethically own a small number of local slaves.

Quoting more of the text:

I think this is written by @idlip and I like this article a lot as well.

"Why was the software created?" is also a central question for Social experience design, and the answer should always be: "To satisfy identified stakeholder needs".

In #FOSS there is way too much "Let's create an app, and then put users in it" (followed by "Build it and they will come"). Which is a tech-first approach, not solution-oriented.

I WILL NOT BE BULLIED 💎

I received a vicious reply today because I use AI. It wasn't a disagreement. Nor a criticism. It was a full-frontal personal attack! And I’ll admit it affected me more than I expected.

I USE AI MAINLY BECAUSE I'M PARALYSED.

Typing is physically difficult for me. I have the use of only one hand. So, tapping out a post or email with one finger is exhausting. Voice and AI help me turn my own thoughts into usable writing in a normal amount of time.

THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A DEFENCE.

You can dislike AI. You can distrust it. You can argue about copyright concerns, energy and water use, labour, culture, or anything else that concerns you. I will listen to you and answer you.

But attacking people simply for using AI is not principled.

IT'S BULLYING.

And disabled people should not have to produce a medical justification every time they use a technology that makes their life easier.

AI is a tool. How it is used matters. Who gets harmed matters. Context matters. What does not help is turning “AI user” into a moral accusation and deciding that cruelty is suddenly acceptable.

I’m quite happy to discuss the technology with anyone.

HOWEVER, I WILL NOT BE BULLIED FOR USING IT.

I didn't need to do anything about the attack. Before I could even decide how to respond, both the post and the person disappeared from my notifications.
