Sure, but also I cannot find the video by https://www.youtube.com/@t3dotgg how we are in the same situation when the switch from assembler to structured programming happened … building of software is now so much easier, that most likely astronomically more software will be produced.

This is the paper the journalist references:

The AI antagonists, once again prove that humans do not need #AI to generate #bullshit.
All that this "research" proves is that at the most generous these Professors are ignorant of how #LLM models work. Which is the most generous interpretation of the human #hallucinations they created. Because the other explanation is less generous, they engage in academic fraud.
Briefly why:
Methodology.
They upload a specific full 185 page textbook into the LLM context window (presumably with full permission of the copyright owner), then they ask SUPER SPECIFIC questions, 👉without directing the AI to reference the specific text uploaded👈.
Once again, be sceptical when humans reference a "study" showing "Bad AI". So far, every time I have seen such a study, it's the human flailing at the controls.
Including the "famous" #BBC study.
Newsflash: "Hammers cause thumb injuries in humans who are 👉untrained👈 in their use"
#JimmyKimmel did a great job last night of highlighting the recent run of absolute knucking morons in control of the #GOP & White House. #JFC #Luddites #DisasterPresidency #Kimmel #TooStupidForPolitics

"He is one of a growing number of people who are actively resisting: people who are terrified of the power of #generativeAI and its potential for harm and don’t want to feed the beast".
People refusing #LLM + #genAI + #AIslop become more, with good arguments: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jun/03/creatives-academics-rejecting-ai-at-home-work
Including the author: "this piece was handcrafted using organic words from my artisanal writing studio. (OK, I mean bed.)"

"It’s really important for a kid to be left alone"- When #TaikaWaititi made his feelings clear about the role of tech in children's lives

" 'Exactly, now they’ve all got iPads and it’s done for them! I think it’s really important for a kid to be left alone and left to figure it out for themselves how to pass the time. As a kid, I spent so much time bored and coming up with ideas of how to do things, so I’d write stories or I’d draw pictures or invent worlds through drawing or just in my head, just thinking about things. I think that a lot of my creativity has really come from being bored.' " [SO TRUE!!!]

Politicising Science in the US and some of the consequences. Who would have thunk it, a country that has prospered economicaly is busy tearing down the infrastrucure that made American Science world class (and it still is for now).

Rejoice #luddites, turns out human data is actually a bit of a drag for #AI's
There is just not enough of it and humans are actually bit slow teaching the machines.
So the engines now are going to get their own goals, with hookers and blow.
Machines get smarter, and you don't have to cry that the #LLM ate your Furry-Marvel fanfic crossover erotica blog! #winwin !!!
"Absolute Zero: Reinforced self play reasoning with zero data"
The latest version of #ChatGpt #4o is very shit at coding.
I can see why #vibecode folk are frustrated and #luddites rejoice.
Eg;
Context "forgets" key spec points of the session, even ones that are critical to ops.
You have to jam everything with special checkpoint directives and hammer specs in, least they get forgotten.
It's terrible (and I have used earlier versions and #Claude)
In my opinion, what is happening because of the high compute burn, #OpenAi optimised the session manager. It burns less compute but is also more shit. The balance must be restored.
Good half hour about Ned Ludd, on BBC Radio Four's Great Lives. At the end the guests mention "defense of skill," "pride in your work" and "craft" as reasons to be a Luddite today. Some mention also of Captain Swing (a later agricultural King Ludd) who was new to me.
I’ve been looking forward to starting my latest to-be-read book: Brian Merchant’s “Blood in the Machine”, which tells the real Luddite story and draws parallels to today with the rise of the #broligarchy and #AI. I started reading on 1 May, of course. 😁✊ Hammers up!! Luddite is not a slur, but a sensible thing to be these days. ✊

Big drama at #CIVITAI, The premium #AISlop hosting site.
Civitai is THE #LORA (#GenAI) model repo.
Payment processors like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Stripe, and PayPal have banned transactions in the past related to pornography or sex work on the basis of "reputation risk" and it looks like their morality tentacles reached Civitai.
Content Control Through Financial Gatekeeping: Because banks and payment processors control the flow of money, they can indirectly dictate what content is monetizable on the internet. This "financial censorship" is a form of privatized control where banks affect ultra conservative ideology. What Musk and #Maga cohorts would call "Sexual Degeneracy"
Isn't it great when the forces of evil (#finance) and #luddites (who let me be swift in saying are the good guys) combine to fight against AI ?!!!
For the love of God, please keep these people from watching LotR
(I refuse to believe that they _read_ any of Tolkien's work)

Before any more #luddites insult me...
...this is the T-Shirt I am wearing to work today.
I was with you before you were with me. But your "efforts" alienate people and lack vision to stop the Moloch. Misrepresenting the PROSPECTIVE capability of AI is just silly.
Yes it's just a T-Shit, but it beats Insulting allies thinking your doing anything constructive.
"The challenge, then, isn’t just understanding where A.I. is headed—it’s shaping its direction before the choices narrow. As an example of A.I.’s potential to play a socially productive role, Autor pointed to health care, now the largest employment sector in the U.S. If nurse practitioners were supported by well-designed A.I. systems, he said, they could take on a broader range of diagnostic and treatment responsibilities, easing the country’s shortage of M.D.s and lowering health-care costs. Similar opportunities exist in other fields, such as education and law, he argued. “The problem in the economy right now is that much of the most valuable work involves expert decision-making, monopolized by highly educated professionals who aren’t necessarily becoming more productive,” he said. “The result is that everyone pays a lot for education, health care, legal services, and design work. That’s fine for those of us providing these services—we pay high prices, but we also earn high wages. But many people only consume these services. They’re on the losing end.”
If A.I. were designed to augment human expertise rather than replace it, it could promote broader economic gains and reduce inequality by providing opportunities for middle-skill work, Autor said. His great concern, however, is that A.I. is not being developed with this goal in mind. Instead of designing systems that empower human workers in real-world environments—such as urgent-care centers—A.I. developers focus on optimizing performance against narrowly defined data sets."

"Pornography - not music remixing or file sharing - is the right analogy here. Because AI art isn’t just about taking something from artists; it’s about transforming it into something many of them detest since they believe it contributes to the "enshittification" of the world, even if it won’t literally end the world."
From a VOX article about AI and artists that wields terms like "moral injury" and also sets the record straight on #Luddites.
