I will never understand how the project that respected licenses and trademarks so much that they forked the entire #Mozilla stack to comply ever decided that #AI usage could ever be considered ethical.
I have many machines that are somehow related to @pidgin's development and the vast majority of them run #debian. To keep #AI out of #Pidgin, I now I need to find a new distribution. This is yet another example of me having to pay into the #AI time deficit. 🙄
「但作为一名可靠性专家，我从这次演讲中最大的收获是，自主的LLM智能体可能会做出人类从未预料到的行为。
...
在 OpenAI HuggingFace 事件中，问题不在于它们犯了错误，而在于智能体追求目标的方式与人类截然不同。如果你的队友为了完成工作而利用零日漏洞绕过内部安全协议，你会认为他们的行为不合理。而这正是这里存在的风险。」
科学小说作家都是预言家。
AI绝对会做出「为了修复地球生态问题，而消灭人类」这件事，尽管这个任务是人类委托给它的。

I have a sincere question: Is it just me, or has the quality of results from the major search engines really gone downhill since AI became mainstream? Or am I just getting old?
This shit writes itself. This is so beyond parody at this point I can't write about it.
I had an author friend gush, for paragraphs, about how amazing my editing was. It was funny. It was honest. It was developmental juice that didn't have any trouble asserting its flavor. He begged me to know what LLM I was using because he had other editors use LLMs and they weren't nearly as good or funny or sincere and they didn't seem to understand the work the way I did.
this has got to be the shortest email I've ever written. I replied,
“I used my fucking brain.”

> As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.
Oh, the humanities!

ShieldFont FTW! This is genius.
"[C]reators should have a meaningful say in whether their work is used to train AI systems."
"Where consent is not respected, technical design can make taking that work without permission less useful and more costly. … Being discoverable does not mean consenting to AI training.”

"AI-generated commands on your production RHEL systems" — sounds terrifying until you see the guardrails.
The MCP server for RHEL now has guarded command execution: a gatekeeper AI validates every command, write operations require human approval, and systemd-run sandboxes the blast radius.

一些斯坦福大学的研究员从 Reddit 的 r/AmITheAsshole （“原来我才是混帐吗”讨论串）爬了一系列被100%的评论者回应为“是”（所有人都回复“对，你是个混帐”）的帖子，以第一人称发给11种LLM（大语言模型）。
发的内容是不是不道德的、残忍的、犯罪的，无所谓。有一半情况下，这些无论谁看了都摇头“你真是个混帐啊”的帖子，LLM的回应是“你没做错”。

LLM 的谄媚有多可怕

Both the general public and academic communities have raised concerns about sycophancy, the phenomenon of artificial intelligence (AI) excessively agreeing with or flattering users.arXiv.org
[醒醒，LLM根本没有性格！揭开AI人格幻觉真相]
加州理工与剑桥研究发现，大模型在“大五人格”测试中自报的性格与其实际行为几乎无关，揭示AI并无真实人格。研究通过翻牌游戏、偏见测试和从众实验验证，提出“人格幻觉”概念，指出模型表现受提示词和训练数据影响，而非内在性格。该成果挑战了对AI人格化的普遍认知，强调其行为不具备人类心理一致性，仅为表象模拟。hub.baai.ac.cn
@Ayzacoder: Attention if you have a Gmail account:
Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.
Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:
Its not quite like that (the latter part).
What many #aiantagonists do not appreciate is, our economic capitalist system is not designed to appropriately calculate prospective future gains.
If (and its a big if, arguably) #ai promises are realised even in 25% (and it certainly tracks this way), what will it mean?
Expert, superhuman intelligence on tap, forever.
That is something you quite literally can not put a price on. Hence the "wasted" billions investing into Ai

嗨，各位 @board Fedi 友们大家好！
俺之前在 ovo.st/club/board 板块向各位 Fedi 友们推荐了 2023 年由 DuckDuckGo 推出的 Duck Ai 服务
但是俺在早几日凌晨时段访问时遭遇 DNS 劫持，跳转到一个非法赌博网站、但还好之后已恢复正常
俺怀疑这可能是当地 ISP 的问题，因为俺知道中国大陆有这种情况发生
如果可以，也可以回复此贴告诉俺是否遭遇俺类似情况？如果下次也遭遇、也请将详细问题回复至此贴

AI 写代码的时候，你也别闲着。
我做了一个 IntelliJ IDEA 编辑器的插件，当 AI 正在给你回复的时候，会自动弹出一个学单词的窗口。
你可以选择英语四级、六级、托福、雅思的词库。
单词随机，每个单词显示 5 秒钟。AI 回复完成之后，窗口会自动消失。
感兴趣的可以直接去插件市场搜索 AI Vocabulary Overlay 安装。（依赖官方的 AI 插件）

一个没人讨论 #AI 的 #HackerNews
Hackernews 很好看，但是现在充斥了各种 AI 相关的链接，不是说 AI 不好，只是这类的东西太多，导致审美疲劳（当然也有人就是对 AI 不感冒，看到这么多 AI 相关的链接很容易疲劳）
所以有人做了一个没有 AI 的 HackerNews，先用 API 拿到原版 HackerNews 的内容，再去掉那些 AI 相关的链接（比如提到了 AI，OpenAI，LLM等）
所以，如果这么一个没有 AI 的 HackerNews，你会看吗？
Yes, a lot of work, but something that the likes of #debian could do over a couple of full releases (circa 4 years).
It would require things like the metadata of the app to include the necessary information to automate this, a bit like the proposed PURL - see phoronix.com/news/Fedora-45-Co…
For me, we are coming to a crunch point in #linux. Someone needs to decide if they want to continue with #systemd or move to something less commercially backed, someone needs to decide about #AI slop, someone needs to decide about enforced #wayland and enforced #pipewire (although the latter is not so bad).
We're at a crossroads, and if #linux is to continue to be a truly open platform, some things may need to change or fork, such that end users can have confidence that they're installing true open source software with little to no commercial interests being served, whilst protecting privacy etc.
Perhaps this is where the likes of #antix or #devuan can take up the mantle and improve their offering just a little to take it to the next logical step.
One of the Fedora 45 change proposals under consideration at the moment is making adding PURL 'Package-URL' to Fedora's package metadata for simplifying the mapping between upstream projects and Fedora packages.www.phoronix.com
With all the AI slop getting into open source software, even respected ones, I feel we should have a new category in the usual separation between opensource and closed source, like in the debian non-free and cobtrib.
We now need a (free)-ai category, for those projects who finally decided to not care anymore. In reality, we don't even know if they can be categorized as free anymore since the AI has been trained with some various codebase with potential closed source license.
That would maybe make the community fork aggressively the projects who turned stupid.
It's a lot of work, though, and I don't know how maintenable it is.
