Snake-oil AI systems are starting to make a joke of the presumption of innocence.

It should be illegal to implement an automated system that regularly incriminates innocents. This comes with sometimes severe consequences and trauma for the people wrongly flagged.

If we do not push back against this,
we are going to lose this right (yes, worse than it is now I mean).

@Crissy No. I loathe anything ai so far. It's never done any good for me, and in my work it actually takes me longer to battle ai crap before I can get to a human.

GenAI and what it does to the brain.

Truly excellent "long read" article about genAI and what it does to those who come to rely on it. Well researched, with insightful quotes from thoughtful people.

Good science/tech journalism used to be like that, but on AI topics this has become rare. So much easier for the salaried writer of a mainstream paper just to follow the hype.

The author, Sophie McBain, is listed as a "freelance writer" for Guardian, Times and New Statesman. I am glad she's kept her free mind.

Great.

$dayjob MacBook forced to update to Tahoe. This "liquid glass" interface is a pile of wank.

I checked settings and both Apple Intelligence (sic) and Siri are disabled and yet there's 8 "Siri" apps running in the background:

com.apple.siri.embeddedspeech
SiriSuggestionsBookkeepingService
SAExtensionOrchestrator
siriinferenced
SiriAUSP
sirittsd
siriactionsd
siriknowledged

And 5 "Intelligence" apps:

IntelligencePlatformComputeService
intelligenceplatformd
knowledgeconstructiond
intelligencecontextd
intelligentroutingd

Why are these still running if I've supposedly disabled them in settings?

It seems many AI companies can't find a way to generate enough profits with users, so they're going for government contracts now.

This is part of the lobbying behind Chat Control in the EU, and ICE's mass surveillance systems in the US. Someone is making lots of money out of this.

Technology is never neutral.
And this technology with its lobbyists is doing a lot of damage right now.

Only the people can stop this.
Make your voice heard.

No, thank you, @1password@1password.social.

Can someone tell me if @bitwarden is pushing AI in their service offerings? If not, it might be time to move back or, maybe better, just get more serious about using @keepassxc@fosstodon.org.

Working on a new signature to append to all my #blog posts:

written by a human ❤️

This is very DIY, I wrote it on a piece of paper, took a pic with my phone and sent it to my computer. You can still see the paper texture, but I think it adds a nice touch to it...

Just a reminder that if you use @signalapp, and if you can afford to do so, donate monetarily. Every little bit helps.

I can't (and don't want to) imagine a digital world where services like Signal don't exist.

AI corruption everywhere.

My institution's educational research group invites us to attend a presentation by a commercial software company who wish to sell us their AI product. The invitation actively promotes the product, with no further qualitfications or provisos.

The product: a tool that lets students query our learning materials, so that they don't have to read them. Also, a sister product that does the same for academic readers of research papers.

Tools that are explicitly meant to help students and scholars to avoid ... having to read academic works!

And these commercial products are actively promoted by a research and pedagogy branch of my university.

These developments are not new, of course, they have been gathering pace all through the past three years. But each such announcement still manages to shock me.

Intellectual and moral corruption and corrosion, everywhere I look.
