South Korea’s competition to find the best homegrown artificial-intelligence models is so ruthless that it’s being called the “AI Squid Game.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/20/tech/korea-ai-squid-game-us-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #southkorea #ai #tech #lg #skgroup

'AI' Sucks the Joy Out of Programming
｢ With an LLM-driven workflow, I’m getting all the bad parts about programming, like the stress generated by not being in control when things aren’t working, desperately trying to shoot bullets in the dark and fix unmaintainable code, and without any of the gratification, which comes from the journey itself. We’re replacing that journey and all the learning, with a dialogue with an inconsistent idiot ｣

💪 On FLOSS and training LLMs - Chronicae Novis Rebus
｢ That by nature of the training, the models recycle and remix, and no substantial code is emitted from the original as-is, only small parts that are not copyrightable in themselves. As such, they do not constitute derived work, and no attribution is necessary ｣

Google search traffic to publishers declined globally by a third last year, according to new Chartbeat data. In the U.S. only, referrals from organic Google search were down by 38% year on year. "The report noted that publishers that specialise in lifestyle or utility content such as weather, TV guides, or horoscopes were more likely to have seen traffic declines, linking it to the arrival of Google’s AI summaries at the top of search results from 2024." Here's the full story from Press Gazette.

Any information from an #AI needs to be verified by a human, especially before it is used to make a decision: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/01/deny-deny-admit-uk-police-used-copilot-ai-hallucination-when-banning-football-fans/ #ArtificialIntelligence

Mozilla wants your input. Here's mine:
Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:
1: Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2: Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
3: There is no 3.
Mozilla should have NOTHING to do with AI. Nobody wants it. Stop forcing AI into every corner of every project because your VC-brained management have completely lost the plot.

I got an ai telemarketer yesterday. It got past my (ai?) screening process. When I started talking to her, it was so awkward. Hung up. #AI
