“[…] human beings become … ‘the sex organs of the machine world’ as McLuhan wrote in … Understanding Media.” Our essential role is to produce ever more sophisticated tools—to “fecundate” machines as bees fecundate plants—until technology has developed the capacity to reproduce itself on its own. At that point, we become dispensable.

Before working for 2 years on the Apache APISIX API gateway, I was mainly oblivious to API gateways. It’s only by working with them that I understood their value. Decoupling the client and the server unlocks a lot of options: moving authentication to the API Gateway, securing APIs, deduplicating API requests, etc.
In this post, I want to describe how the same pattern applies to #AI.

Ich arbeite zukünftig nicht mit #AI, sondern wie AI: ich bin scheißfreundlich und antworte auf alle Anfragen einfach aus dem Bauch raus, wenn ich was nicht weiß, erfind ich's, und ob die Antwort zur Frage paßt oder hilfreich ist, ist mir auch egal. Vor allem aber, und das ist das wichtigste: Egal, was ich als Ergebnis produziere: ich kann nicht dafür zur Verantwortung gezogen werden.

The art of leading a team includes to let people do the work and provide them with the tools they need to do so. This includes trust: you let them make decisions and some of them will be less than optimal, and others will be bad. Encourage them to learn from those instead of blaming them. Support them. They'll get better.

OpenAI-Chef Sam Altman erklärte diese Woche, KI werde keine globale „Jobs-Apokalypse" auslösen — die befürchtete Verdrängung von Büroberufen sei bisher geringer ausgefallen als erwartet. Gleichzeitig warnte ein OpenAI-eigenes Policy-Paper vom April, dass Produktivitätsgewinne durch KI nicht zwingend bei den Beschäftigten ankämen. #AI

Zendesk Says #AI Makes #Code Abundant, Shifting the Bottleneck to "Absorption Capacity"

One website I use to receive payments recently shifted to a terrible #AI tool for customer service.
I asked it to process a payout. It failed, so I asked customer service to do it. After a few days, they did, and I withdrew the amount.
4 days later, the AI processed my payout...20 times. So now I have 20X the original amount, which I've already been paid for, in my "wallet."

Using #AI is like hitting Ctrl R 500 times in a desperate hope of finding the exact command in your shell history instead of typing it again
So, I've thrown LLMs at dev a fair amount, and have actually gotten mileage out of them in excess of the tokens thrown in. You know, the thing everyone keeps calling #AI but is subset thereof, albeit a resource-intensive one.

Thinking about some things that @… said in another thread, and as someone who advocates against AI hype and against the use of most generative AI in most circumstances, I feel it's important to say: many of the ethical issues with using generative AI mirror almost directly the ethical issues with living/working on land stolen by colonists, except that they're less harmful.
Arguments like "well we don't really know whose work it's ripping off this time" and "artists that post their art online know it's going to be looked at; this is the same thing" and "well it's inevitable and everyone's doing it so it's unreasonable to make a big deal about it" directly echo arguments like "well now we don't know whose land it was any more exactly" (yes, we do; you can literally go look up the website of their descendants), or "the natives weren't really using the land anyways", or "it's all in the past now, and it's unavoidable." That unavoidable one is actually somewhat true of using stolen land, at least compared to LLM usage.
If you can see through those lies in the case of AI hype but choose not to do so in the case of colonialism, that says something about your priorities and allegiances.
This is not at all a call for people to talk less about AI; rather it's a call for those who take opposing AI hype seriously to look around and make some noise about other injustices too (I realize many of you already do this).

Dear generative AI enthusiasts,
Look, I know the tokens you're burning right now don't actually use *that*much energy (even though it's somewhat substantial already and disastrous when we take into account the quality of the crap it's being used for) but what's more important is the appearance (or not) of that token spend on the quarterly earnings report of OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. lays the foundation necessary for those companies to go ahead with their plans for datacenters on a truly ridiculous scale, and those datacenters, if built, ate indeed a climate nightmare which *my kids* will have to live through even if they never benefit from any of it at all. That's (one of many reasons) why I personally need you to stop using generative AI right now.
The fact that the output is crap, the way it erodes your intelligence, and the ways in which it plagiarizes and actively undermines good citation practices are among many other practical reasons not to use it, but what's personal to me is the way that your frivolous sloperation is making the future worse for the baby I'm feeding blueberries to as I type this, and half the time I interact with people like you the conversation begins with some form of "putting aside the ethical issues..."

So organisations/companies realize that the topmodels are way too expensive for 80-90% of the things they want to use AI for. So they will move to cheaper models/versions, opensource models, on premis etc. At the same time OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI need more revenue to cover their outrageous costs/investments. How will they solve this? Just with big defense/government contracts?
