Periodic reminder: The integration of generative AI models into every sector of society is the installation of ideological and epistemic choke points, regardless of who made the model.
World Politics ReviewThe spread of Chinese AI models with built-in censorship mechanisms could quietly shape the global information environment for the worse.

Meine Güte, ich kann menschlich sogar nachvollziehen, dass Juli Zeh sich ihre Nazinachbarn irgendwie schönreden muss, weil sie dort nun mal ein Haus gekauft hat. Aber muss man daraus gleich ein eigenes Reportagegenre machen?

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

The whole “brain is hardware, language is software” thing, the ability to program people with language etc, totally fits with the idea that empathy/caring/wokeness isn’t something people do willing, it’s only something they’re infected by. I see why callous tech bros love it.

Very good to see that this position is becoming more and more visible within the left: When it comes to so-called "AI" there is nothing there for the left but infrastructure to dismantle. Thanks for writing it up, Hagen & Inge.
Paris Marx“AI is, above all else, a weapon of class war from above. Whether it’s the state that wields it or corporations does little to change that fact.” — @hagenblix.bsky.social and Ingeborg Glimmer

last call for this! would love to speak to as many folks as possible!
Luke PlunkettHi! I'm looking to speak to anyone who is finding ways to resist/work around mandatory AI usage policies at work. Mostly games industry-related, but happy to speak to anyone adjacent as well! Published quotes can of course be anon if desired. DM me here or email at luke@aftermath.site, thanks!

Me, looking at antibiotics: This would be better if it was a lying machine that drove me insane

I’m surely not the first to come to this realisation, but the LLM industrial complex is to tech-life what MAGA is to politics: erode any and all trust in established institutions, people and practices for the benefit of the very few and worst people on the planet in the (poor) guise of freedom.

Every time I see a video of a humanoid robot on the timeline that’s an instant watch because there’s a 5% chance it’s going to work and a 95% chance it’s going to turn the simple act of walking in a straight line into a Jackass stunt.

Every ad I’ve head for Google Health has been like “not intended for medical purposes” and I don’t think you should be able to say that if your LLM gives out medical advice and has “Health” in the title.

"Cognitive surrender" is a fascinating concept to think about the impact of AI as it exists under reactionary tech Preventing people from thinking for themselves and imagining different worlds is a godsend for authoritarians thenextweb.com/news/wharton...
Wharton researchers coined 'cognitive surrender' to describe what happens when people let AI think for themA Wharton study found people accepted wrong AI answers 80% of the time, as apps like Moot now let five AI personas vote on your life decisions.thenextweb.com

One of the things I keep coming back to is how the problems in our society are as much to do with character as the usual base/superstructure stuff. Being able to hold your tongue, put up with inconvenience, be kind and considerate, it all feeds back into the culture and means of production.
Kat AbughazalehI cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

I'm definitely not an ML engineer but I'm pretty sure I get how an LLM works. So when they say we don't know, it's insulting, and kind of... gaslight-y? "No silly, you only *imagine* that you understand it. It's actually beyond your comprehension. Shut up and play with your chatbot."

Die Freude über den Rücktritt eines der schlimmsten und reaktionärsten Politiker dieses Landes könnte nur kurz währen, denn bis 2029 könnten wir erleben, wie Jens #Spahn nun mit seinen Netzwerken (Thiel und Co.) und ausgestattet mit ungewohnter Beinfreiheit das Bündnis mit den Faschos vorbereitet.

Stephen Miller, casting anti-fascists as degenerate sub-humans.

Man muss sich die Ungeheuerlichkeit dieser Nachricht klar machen: Die Bundesregierung richtet für die rechtsextreme, demokratiefeindliche US-Regierung einen "Workshop" gegen Linksextremismus aus. Ganz offensichtlich soll unser Land der MAGA-Bewegung übergeben werden.
»Workshop« zu Linksextremismus in Deutschland geplantIm Kampf gegen Linksextremismus hat US-Außenminister Marco Rubio eine Veranstaltung in Deutschland angekündigt. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen plant die Bundesregierung einen »Workshop von Fachexperten«.www.spiegel.de
