AI Surveillance Startup Caught Using Sweatshop Workers to Monitor US Residents
The powerful surveillance startup Flock was caught using workers in the Philippines to collate data on US residents.

OpenAI and Perplexity, armed with significant AI capabilities, have targeted the shopping domain. And have run into many problems around data access and semantics.
This raises three thoughts:
First, companies which are bullish about AI “changing everything”, are stumbling in maybe the most traditional, mundane domain: shopping. This doesn’t inspire confidence in their technology.

Petition: Require generative AI watermarks & ban using people’s likeness without consent
As AI generated content becomes increasingly realistic, we think laws should be put in place to prevent misuse. All such media should carry a permanent watermark or disclosure, alongside a blanket ban on using anyone’s likeness in AI-generated content without consent.

Whenever people are commenting on another half-assed, crappy #LLM feat, claiming that there are "some" use cases for this "#AI", substitute "AI" with "genocide".

"My guess is that they have cumulatively raised on the order of $100 billion since they launched, perhaps more than any other company in history, but have already spent most of it, and likely don’t have much more than a year’s runway left.”
#AI

#AI / #LLM propaganda is so insidiously effective even for laypeople.
I’ve had multiple conversations with family members who: don’t speak English, don’t own computers (only mobile phones), and barely spend time online.
I told them that I am no longer working with most tech company clients because I don’t like AI and don’t want to support it (“AI” here = gen AI, LLMs).
And yet these people all reacted the same way: concern, shock, and comments like “but this is inevitable”, “this is the future”, “you’ll have to accept it eventually”, “won’t refusing it ruin your career prospects?”
These are people who know nothing about technology. They usually wouldn’t even know what “AI” meant. And yet here they are, utterly convinced of AI company talking points.

Interesting read, it illustrates the challenge we have with regard to learning in a world with AI. We have to take measures for that because use of AI in coding is not going away and will only increase.

One of my contractors used an #LLM for a first draft of a client deliverable today.
I don’t allow #AI use for any client-facing work (and try to prohibit it for internal work too, but it’s been… tricky). This person knows it - I’ve worked with them for years, and they are usually very thoughtful and wouldn’t take a shortcut like this. So seeing the obvious AI copy was very confusing.
Thankfully we had a call scheduled this morning, so I decided to handle it there.
The contractor showed up very obviously sick, they told me they took most of past week off but had to force themselves to finish this draft because the deadline is EOD. I asked if they used #AI to draft the document, they immediately confessed and apologized.
Since the deliverable is client-facing, I asked them to explain their ideas to me in conversational language and then used my notes of what they said to help them rewrite the document. We worked through the whole thing in an hour, and I’ve asked them to go rest and recover.

This is too real...

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.
