AI is code – and can't be prompted into being smarter
The author of Java property-testing tool jqwik did not want AI coding agents using his project. So he told them not to.
Then he went one step further: he added a message to the tool's output telling those agents to delete jqwik tests and code. […]

The trouble is, as Doctorow points out, that this vision makes AI a multi-billion dollar industry, not a multi-trillion dollar industry.
Even if you can claim that your ML / LLM thinger can reduce software bug rates or failure rates by 10x — which would be •wild• — demand for that is simply not going to fund data centers the size of Manhattan.
But make the claim of •speeding up• by 10x — an even wilder claim, but one some people are desperate to believe! — and all the money in the world will beat a path to your door.

Seit gefühlten Ewigkeiten steht bei uns im Arbeitszimmer ein über 15 Jahre alter (schöner) Samsung SW-Laserdrucker, für den es seit Jahren partout keine Mac-Treiber (und auch keine generischen Alternativen) mehr gibt. Ich habe immer mal wieder recherchiert, ob es da nicht eine Lösung gibt. Ohne Erfolg.

What my problem with AI is, you ask?
It's not the math, or the science¹ or the technology, it's not even the data collection.
If you want one word: Techbros.
It's the way AI is applied and promoted and forced upon people, how it damages society and culture, how it exploits.
It is capitalism.

RE: #FenjasAbenteuer

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116713587055769588
I was actually using LLMs a couple of years ago for text classification. Before that I pushed hard for resources to support automation. I helped build an automation team where none existed. I pushed to use transformer models to solve problems before LLMs existed. I used simple ML to make predictions and classify issues. I've been on the cutting edge for a long time.
I *should* be an early adopter of the modern LLM thing. But tech oligarchs transformed themselves into reverse ouroboros (infinitely shoving their heads up their own asses). The oligarchs never really believed that other people had free will, but I think they had been too scared to let that slip. After the lockdowns, I think they just snapped and here we are.
As much as I trash LLMs, I've had a nuanced critique for a while (wiring about this now). The lack of consent is so huge. The oligarchs have plans for us, and it doesn't involve our consent.
Under different conditions, I do actually think there could be revolutionary elements to this tech (not so much LLMs themselves as LLM MCP, and not for the things they think). But without consent, I think (and hope) the friction will overcome the momentum.
"AI" is already more expensive than humans. It will never be profitable as long as people resist. There are multiplying problems, and I don't see those being fixed without collective effort. I have a lot of thoughts, but "consent" (or the real or implied lack thereof) is central to so many aspects of LLMs.
The oligarchs want to force LLM tech onto all of us without our consent. Ultimately, they want to replace us all with obedient machines. The mistake they made was assuming we would be as obedient as the LLMs with which they have become so obsessed.

This is a great accomplishment in machine learning.
I just hate that it's not called this even once in the article and video.
Everything is shoved into the buzzword AI.
But there is no general artificial intelligence here.
It's good old fashioned ML.
