The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.
But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

"Google AI overviews are misleading or inaccurate in 37% of finance-related searches, according to The College Investor's latest analysis. This is an improvement from last year, where 43% of AI Overviews were inaccurate - but a one-third error rate is troubling when it comes to personal finance.
This is causing consumer confusion, and potentially harming Americans' finances. The overviews were especially bad when it comes to tax, insurance, and financial aid related queries.
What's Happening: Over the last several years, Google has been rolling out AI-driven answers in search results. At the top of the search results they show AI Overviews, and they're now expanding the use of AI Mode. The problem is they are plagued with inaccurate answers. And experts say it's a serious issue."

Coding shop flooded with requests to fix vibe coded ai-slop codebases. On the cheap, of course.
Oh my fucking god. I just right clicked a link to an article to open it in a new tab in Firefox and saw an option to "Ask an AI Chatbot (Z)." Fucking EW. There was thankfully an option to remove it from my context menu, but oh my fucking god, AI bros are so fucking desperate to adopt this tech en masse, I swear to god.
Let the fucking bubble burst, nobody fucking likes generative-AI and making it goddamn inescapable is not going to make us like it. Let it go the way of NFTs and the metaverse like it goddamn deserves. If generative-AI was genuinely that fucking good, people would naturally adopt it like we did with computers. Companies did not have to work this hard to get people to adopt computers because their purpose and value was obvious.
And @mozilla, @firefox please for the love of god, stop adding AI features. I get you're partially funded by Google, but grow a goddamn spine and listen to your users. People do not like these features and expect better from you. Firefox is supposed to be about privacy and generative-AI is NOT good for privacy (do I even need to mention Windows Recall?) You wanna be the alternative to Google so bad, yet you do the same scummy, disliked sh!t everyone hates Google for.

It is shocking to think that LLMs don't cut and paste, they delete and rewrite from "memory".
Is there anything that #generativeAI can do to _assist_ in code reviews rather than _do them instead_. Most of the benefits suggested seem to be better done with a formatter, a linter or a AI pairing buddy.
The main surviving benefit seems to be summarizing massive PRs (which seems to be managing the symptom of a deeper problem) rather than an improvement.
What are people doing with AI that does help?
Thinking about the DORA 2025_state_of_ai_assisted_software_development report.
Dora is owned by Google cloud and therefore has a financial incentive to be "Pro" AI to support Gemini etc.
It also, historically depends on developers self reporting if they think they are more effective (which has been shown to not necessarily correlate with actual improved effectiveness).
Is DORA a trustworthy commentator on this?

”…the AI bubble is ripe for bursting. Things like the efficient compute frontier…and the Floridi conjecture…mean that the AI models we have now are about as good as they will ever be. … This is a huge problem! Because, as they currently stand, generative AI models aren’t actually that useful or even remotely profitable.”
