"There is no worthwhile career in AI-anything.

Simple as that. The AI industry is designed to dehumanise and commoditise labour. Everyone who has dedicated their life to token servitude has become a dull fungible meat proxy."

The future of media is in the hands of some disgusting freaks. https://www.gocomics.com/brian-mcfadden/2026/09/28

Regarding Samsung bricking their smart fridges...

I once told a contractor that I explicitly did NOT want a smart appliance. His response was “you must be a software developer, they’re usually the ones who don’t want them.”

"...we can’t have a set-up that is “technically decentralized” but “socially centralized”. The #CoopCloud recipes are a lot easier to maintain, which makes it easier to share the moderation among ourselves.".

“Software Drives People Insane – The Gospel According to Graybeard”

> And yet somehow the process of producing this stuff can turn perfectly ordinary adults into b-tier Bond villains.

AI has truly convinced every mediocre C-suite person that they are a genius and can replace everyone with AI. I never seen such AI psychosis. This is not going to end well for anyone.

When They say that the death of AI will "kill the Internet," they're wrong. It'll cut off the flow of algorithmic sewage. It'll cripple Meta, X, Google, and so on.

Those of us who have our own web sites, who communicate independently? We'll be fine.

Welcome to 1995. Here's your modem.

Can't wait!

Another day, a Monday. Another day when the investors keeping generative machine learning companies on life support aren't getting one cent in returns from me. Go fuck yourselves!

@SaraSoueidan people using the theft machine for their work, surprised the theft machine steals their work too... #llm #ai

More and more it looks like the big "AI" companies are ripping off their customers. It's the American way, of course, but this stuff looks egregious -- and it's going to push people with common sense toward the open-source local models. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/science/anthropic-biology-enzyme-mestre.html?unlocked_article_code=1.EVE.e8Mn._lRdB19pQprE

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. https://nyti.ms/3VSWayc

Meet The Pardoned Delete Mechanic Who Wants To Stop Your Car From Spying On You

Pardoned mechanic Matt Geouge has built a device that blocks vehicles from spying on their drivers, because in 2018 his fiancée realized investigators were following her. Now he braces for steep opposition from manufacturers as he unveils his new product.

You do not have to hand IT to the techbros: Coding is *not* the "special case" where genAI is a good idea.

https://parsingphase.dev/tech/LLMs/ydnht.html

There is an attempt to make people feel like being critical of using LLMs is not "hip and with it" Only old people who don't understand technology are unimpressed.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Young people don't like the slop, the most tech people have the harshest words.

The typical AI fan doesn't know how it works or the limitations: this blind spot makes them both dazzled and fearful ... therefore unable to assign blame to humans when they do crime in a computer suit.

Still reading through but so far this seems like a great 101 page to send to people who don't see issues with using LLMs.

There's fact and sources linked.
