The saga of the bot written hit piece continues this time claiming that @… had a AI write an article about it when the AI couldn’t scrape the blog it just hallucinated some quotes that never existed. Surreal. Ars definitely have to come clean on what the actual fuck happened there.

Google: "AI WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING!”
Me to my phone: “Hey Google, could you start this app?”
Phone: “What the fuck is an app? Need me to generate ideas for cat costumes instead?”

This whole "OpenClaw" thing has made me very angry and I wrote a bit about the why. It's not that "it's AI": It is the way that kind of project invalidates decades of work and care in free software. "AI" software isn't just careless, it is actively rejecting responsibility and care.

What the actual fuck?
The 13yo kept wanting to know if #Mamdani has seen K-pop Demon Hunters (don't ask me why, but he was bugging me to look it up all afternoon while we were out; I was discussing Mamdani w/ the family for other reasons:

Google's "AI Mode", with the prompt, "has mamdani seen kpop demon hunters."

Its response:

"As of January 2026,
Zohran Mamdani has not only seen KPop Demon Hunters
but has actively engaged with its content in public and diplomatic settings. Both Mamdani and the film were among Google’s top trending searches of 2025. 
Specific instances of Mamdani's involvement with the film include:

 * Diplomatic Performance: At a recent summit in Tokyo, [the rest is highlighted by me for fucking emp…

#DeadLazyweb: Is anyone aware of a "no AI" marketplace or something? I just had to go through a hidden menu to disable "AI" on my dryer because it's not possible to buy a dryer without wifi and "AI" features (whatever the ambiguous fuck they mean by AI). I want dumb thing.
I don't want a "smart tv," I want an OLED that exposes HDMI and nothing smarter. I don't want a smart dryer. Thanks, I have enough attack surface in my house and I don't want to fight with a machine to make it just dry my laundry. Honestly, I don't even really want a smart phone anymore, but you can't really make Signal work on a Nokia brick.
If such a thing doesn't exist, I'd consider working on it but I don't want to re-invent a wheel if one already exists.

Its starting to fuck with me how much the omnipresent youtube ai slops portray everyone's insides as fixed so aggressively. Elvis presley is just that, popped out the womb innately causing 8 year olds to faint in his crowd then THIS happened every single day.

I’ve seen a lot of articles and posts about AI that use the term “like it or not” as in “like it or not, AI is here, and we might as well get used to it” and that is such bullshit.
Like it or not, ableism is here… like it or not, racism is here… like it or not, fascism is here.
No, fuck that, I will resist. I will speak out. I will fight back.
You do not have to roll over and accept the shit corporations and the existing power structure try to force upon you.

Fuck off #Adobe #AdobeAcrobat.
Its an API specification overview. _Its ONLY NINE PAGES_.
Also what the crap is a "PDF Space" - keep your space germs away from my PDF.

The title bar of Adobe Acrobat having just opened a nine page document. It "helpfully" suggests 

`This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary using AI Assistant.`

And it also prompts me to `Try PDF Spaces`... whatever the hell those are. No thanks.

Techbro stance: "Regulating AI is hindering innovation."

The purpose of regulation is to protect humans from harm, support wellbeing and promote societal sustainability.

So the techbro stance is "I can't invent new stuff if I can't fuck with people's lives and health."

Except that's not innovation, that's abuse.

Politicians and media really need to start understanding the difference.

Here's what bothers me about AI-generated code, and I'm going to use my own fuck-up as an example. I was calling a DBus interface from C , which I'd already done elsewhere in the code. So I cut & pasted, and adjusted variable names.. It didn't work. So naturally I assumed something was wrong on the other end. I added delays to make sure the other side had enough time to bring up interfaces, I wrote some introspection code to ensure the interface was available, etc.

Fuck. I was wondering what was going on with my computer since it was so slow, but I assumed it was topaz AI working in the background. Then I got this alert.
Had just updated the BRAW Toolbox plug-in, and when I ran activity monitor I watched that plug-in go from single digit gigabytes of memory to over 80. Meanwhile I was wondering what on earth was causing my MacBook Pro to literally /run down the battery/ while plugged into mains power...
Seems that plugin is dodgy...

A computer screen displays a warning message about running out of application memory, listing paused apps and their memory usage.

I fucked around with an Apple Shortcut and ended up rewriting most of it and now it’s way better (in my opinion) than it was. (And I didn’t use any goddamn AI because fuck that shit.)
