"operating systems MUST be able to verify your age!!! to protect the children!!! meanwhile here's Meta's new pervert glasses to record people without their knowledge, brought to you by the company paying money tribute to the pedophile king"

It is no longer safe to use any software written after 2020. And really, you should go back to 2000 to be sure.

Spend the day talking to workers council members about "AI". And it's kinda wild hearing their stories from the wild: Management is 100% in fantasy "AI" can do everything land and makes huge plans for how to use "AI" to cut workers when real projects that supposedly can do 50% of a specific task end up being able to do 8%. And they still go live. It's fucking bonkers. CEO's are really not okay.

“Fabricating a violent terrorist invasion of America’s third-largest city to justify suppression of First Amendment rights is not aggressive advocacy, but an effort to subvert the rule of law,” FPF's Seth Stern wrote in our bar complaint.

I'll say this as clearly as I can: one of these is going to kill people. We know it; the developers know it. You cannot trust generative models in a patient-impacting context. It's that simple.

Dismantle oppressive systems. Yes, all of them. Yes, even that one.

"This policy change is illegal," said Ginger Quintero-McCall, a public interest lawyer who represents FPF.

"It would not surprise me at all to learn that the administration reassigned employees who objected to this illegal policy of secrecy."

@_elena @kawunngg Thank you!

The sentence that inspired most of my humble resistance, was the one I read by the author of Nepenthes:

“I’m just fed up, and you know what? Let’s fight back, even if it’s not successful. Be indigestible. Grow spikes.”

@nixCraft I already said & saying again. AI making humans lazy and dumb. So #StopAI #NoAi

I made a more in-depth post about OpenSCAD: https://manchicken.com/2026/03/10/3-openscad/

I might be having too much fun with this program; don't tell the Feds.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.

Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.

Do you have any recommendations?

So far, at the top of my list I have:

@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR

plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante

Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?

When you post things on Instagram, Facebook, and X, this is what they look like to people who don’t use those platforms. @vicfroh https://mastodon.social/@vicfroh/116172585169719449

All I feel when someone mentions "Claude" or similar so-called "models", is utter revulsion.

some time ago i (half) joked that the only job #llm can replace outright is the CEO.

today i attended an earnings call where a synthetised voice of our CEO read multi-page long table of numbers from an official financial document, according to a script prepared by claude, over a single slide titled "company earnings 2025" - to a room full of employees who commuted to the office to watch it in person. there was no management present or even shown on the screen.

it was the most disturbed dystopian fucking thing i've experienced in my career of working for soul-crushing corporations.
