Ich freunde mich immer mehr mit dem Gedanken an, dass die Arbeit mit #LLM/#KI dem Versuch ähnelt, Dämonen zu beschwören...

LLMs are a fundamentally useless technology because their applications (supposedly) boil down to humans not having to think for themselves or do their own writing / drawing / filming.
But if you can do it on your own - why would you need a robot to do it? It’s, at best, a novelty.
That’s why this shit only resonates with executives and capital owners. “Get things done with fewer people and expenses” is at least an actual pitch. “Get things done faster for yourself” isn’t.
The individual angle really works for things you already were trying to avoid doing because you’re either disinterested or don’t have enough time to do things right.
“Avoid your work” as a value proposition doesn’t work when you’re dealing with intellectual labor rather than commodities. Not large scale, not long term.
Sorry for the rant, I saw some Notion ads on the subway and got irritated 😅

TextBandit: Evaluating Probabilistic Reasoning in LLMs Through Language-Only Decision Tasks
Large language models (LLMs) have shown to be increasingly capable of performing reasoning tasks, but their ability to make sequential decisions under uncertainty only using natural language remains underexplored. We introduce a novel benchmark in which LLMs interact with multi-armed bandit environments using purely textual feedback, "you earned a token", without access to numerical cues or explicit probabilities, resulting in the model to infer latent reward structures purely off linguistic cu…

It's #EmacsConf #2025! I didn't watch live but I'm catching up. I found this interesting because it outlines 3 very different ways to interact with #llm's. I must admit I'm not yet confident enough to hand over the keys to an agent until I'm satisfied with the sandboxing.

Too many people thinking about "AI threats" as "threats from #AI agency" (which is science fiction) and not "threats from human agency used to productize an #LLM in evil ways" which is in the news every day.

This is a brilliant take on education and on AI.

Using #AI is an ethical choice.
I know that there cases when an #LLM could make my job easier. Which doesn't mean I'll use one. Just like I won't be buying cheap junk gadgets that could help me with some random stuff a bunch of times before they'll end up on a trash pile.
Yes, sometimes I am curious what an LLM could come up with. But then, there are people who are curious how many donuts they can eat before throwing up. A waste of good donuts.
What world would you rather live in? One where you put a little more effort in your job? Or one where LLM helps with with your job, but you can't enjoy your free time anymore because the capitalists are using LLMs to turn every single aspect of your life into a nightmare, and eventually your employer just makes you do more and more until you're thrown out? But at least you will get a monthly trial of a statistical "friend" to "talk" about your trouble to.
Yeah, you can claim that training models does the most harm, and that's already happened, so not using them doesn't change much, and all the energy spent on it would be wasted. Or use the traditional "others" fallacy — others will use it anyway, others will fuel the vicious circle, so why renounce convenience. It's like when you learn that your dinner is human meat, and you decide to eat it anyway, because not eating it won't bring that human back to life, and if it's wasted, then their death will be for naught.

A potential actually-useful use-case for chatbots: Back in The Good Old Days when programmers did not fear being swamped by bug reports, especially the not-so-great reports, software would carry a global-scoped 'gripe' button, when clicked, a redacted snapshot of the machine state was bundled with whatever they wished to put into the text box, and no reply was expected beyond 'received'. Given the ease of recognizing pure noise in the input, an LLM might coallate a bunch and produce a useful report? False positives happen in support all the time 😅
That kinda puts the #LLM in the 'triangle' position on a #StaffordBeer #VSM diagram, what which measures expected vs actual like a steam-engine governor, reducing Variety to useful patterns and all. 🤔

Amazon laid off 14K people, and commentators rush to blame #AI. But not even Jassy claims that Amazon has replaced jobs with #LLM tools (because it is impossible).
Big tech believed that AI would lead to higher velocity, somehow. Jassy has given up on it, and instead thinks that *culture* will lead to …

Amazon's layoffs are driven by something even stupider than AI
Andy Jassy wants you to think that velocity can make up for lack of strategy. But "build, measure, learn" only works if you're willing to learn.

I don't envy "vibe coders". I mean, let's for a minute assume that their vision is not a pipe dream, but an accurate prediction of the future.
For a start, what's their plan for life? Driving a tool whose primary selling point is that anyone can use it. And I'm not even talking about all the inside competition. I'm talking of people realizing that they can cut the middleperson and do the coding themselves.
The way I see it, vibe coders are a bit like typists (with no offense to typists). Their profession is a product of a novelty. And just like typists largely disappeared when typewriters and then computers became commonplace, so are vibe coders bound to disappear when vibe coding becomes commonplace.
And are true programmers going to become obsolete? Well, let me ask you: did the proliferation of cars and corresponding self-service skills render car mechanics obsolete? On the contrary. The way I see it, the proliferation of slopcode will only make competent programmers ever the more necessary.
What vibe coders are saying is basically this: "This new automated self-service kit makes car maintenance so easy. Car mechanics will become obsolete now. Everyone's just going to hire *me* to run this kit instead."

There needs to be contract language drawn up for government using consultants that amounts to
"if the final report is found to contain AI-generated fake or mis-quoted information, or it is otherwise suspect that part or all of the report has been generated using an LLM, the entire report will be considered inadmissible and a full refund of all costs will be expected.”
That's how you protect the integrity of public decision making.

Good Morning #Canada
My youngest daughter is visiting this weekend, and while cooking our family breakfast, we had a long conversation about #AI and #LLM applications. She works for a nonprofit - Rainbow Railroad - and is in charge of all their data applications and funding processes. Her manager is suggesting that they need to start exploring AI/LLM, perhaps to automate email responses to donors. Her response, backed by the fundraising team, is "no effing way will a machine talk to any donor." Losing the personal touch can kill an organization that relies on the emotional empathy and kindness of the public.
That led to a new discussion - are there examples of #AI being used for good. #AskEllyn, the nonprofit chatbot that supports breast cancer patients, was the only one we could name, unfortunately, because both my daughters have relied on it over the past few months.
Tell me about other positive examples of AI - bonus points if they're Canadian.

Gerade habe ich Podcast gehört und dann ist das irgendwie aus gegangen während ich meine Hände im Brotteig hatte. Also mal hands-free Siri ausprobiert. "Spiele Podcasts mit Overcast" und solche Sachen gingen nicht. Eigentlich wollte ich ja nur wieder auf Play drücken, weil irgendwie Pause war. Dann habe ich "Spiele Audio weiter" gesagt, worauf Siri irgendwo einen schrecklichen Track namens "Audio" aufgetrieben hat... Das hat mich dann daran erinnert, dass das beste Argument gegen #LLM ist:

I need some #FediHelp! Somebody here was sharing a blog post about how they tried the METR study on themselves and discovered that results were statistically insigificant, which is very telling.
I thought I boosted and saved it for myself, but apparently not and I'd like to spread the word.

I'm continuing to explore the "#LLMs for everything" paradigm that is forced upon us by ... err why exactly?
I often hear that students should be "smart" about their #LLM usage and not have the LLM produce the solutions but use it as a tutor. I may have even said that myself 2 years ago, but hey, we are all learning. So I tried AI tutoring and it was not great.

Honestly, bumping #Python packages for #Gentoo all these years, I don't recall ever seeing a problem with gzip streams. And then, #autobahn starts using #ClaudeCode heavily, and two bad releases in a row. I can't help but consider the project compromised at this point.

AI: Accidental Intelligence
#AI #LLM #definition #terms #truth

I've filed a report about a minor problem with a #Python package, namely that the source distribution contained some trailing junk that breaks GNU #tar. On one hand, I'm happy that upstream took the issue seriously. On the other hand, I'm terrified of how much #AI slop was involved in the response.
I mean, my short bug report yielded a few walls of text of #LLM analysis of what the cause of the problem might be, of suggested solutions… and praise of the author's fix. These are interspersed with short comments from the author, all pasted under their own personal account. And the linked pull request is also huge, with "verification code" that's quite sloppy (bits that don't do anything, conditions that will never be true… but at least it seems to do what it was supposed to do).
Honestly, I don't know what to do. Not that I ever planned using this package, but at this point I will definitely stay away from it. It's in #Gentoo, and I'll have to continue maintaining it for the sake of reverse dependencies, but I feel like it's unfair to expose our users to packages that have clearly proven to accept AI slop without reviewing it properly. Or rather, AI slop that's being reviewed… by AI. How can anyone think this a good idea?!
There were multiple times in my life when I've considered retiring from Gentoo, for variety of reasons. There were also multiple times when I wanted to get away from computers altogether. Unfortunately, we're living in a truly fucked up world, and there is no escape. The best you can do is put an ever increasing effort to keep fixing all that crap that will just keep piling on faster and faster.
