Prediction: In the near future, we will look at the OpenAI logo the way Gen X looks at the Enron logo from the early oughts.
When? Your guess is as good as mine. If I had the skill to time when bubbles will pop, I’d be a very rich person. But I think it’s closer to 2026 than 2030.
Japanese tech investor SoftBank said Wednesday that its stake in OpenAI is now around 11% after completing the second stage of a $41-billion investment in the maker of ChatGPT. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/31/companies/softbank-openai-stake-lift/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #softbank #openai #tech #ai

I love this essay so much.

I Am An AI Hater
I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response. Miyazaki said, “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.” Scam Altman said we can surround the solar system with a Dyson Sphere to hold data centers. Miyazaki is right, and Altman is wrong. Miyazaki tells stories that blend the ordinary and the fantastic in ways people find deeply meaningful. Altman tells lies for money.

So, if you don't want Calibre to have an LLM, I believe your point of no return is version 8.11. 
Luckily, since Debian Stable is reasonable, the repository still has 8.5.
The thing I would recommend is if you use Calibre regularly and do not want any "ai" garbage, mark your version now in APT and hope that the @grimthorpe 's Clbre fork project continues to advance (I have hope) so that it will make a newer version of Calibre without LLM's easy to install.
For the time being, my Debian (and Debian based distro) friends, you can mark the current version to be safe.
Just run:
sudo apt-mark hold calibre
And to check that it worked, run:
apt-mark showhold

🤖 AI browsers are NOT safe!
There is a thing called "prompt injection" and it works.¹
Funnily the thing that most see as a major issue with AI, the
crawling of the #web and one-way use of it's content, is exactly what makes their AI browsers unsafe.
If you place malicious #code in that very content, the AI scans it & then runs it² on your OS 🤯
This issue has been known to the #tech corps for years³, but they released their #AI browsers nonetheless 🤑

🤖 #OpenAI just officially admitted that they will never be able to make their #AI Browsers truly safe!
Of course they won't let themselves be stopped from selling their #product by such a minor detail ;)
"We expect adversaries to keep adapting. Prompt injection, much like scams and social engineering on the web, is unlikely to ever be fully “solved”..."
