#Police corporal created #AI #porn from driver's license pics
A corporal in the #Pennsylvania state police yesterday pleaded guilty to a mind-boggling set of crimes that include going through his co-workers' underwear, possessing a stolen gun, having child sexual abuse material on his hard drives, and using AI tools to create over 3,000 #pornographic "deepfakes."

Testing suggests Google's #AI Overviews tells millions of lies per hour
A new analysis from The New York Times attempted to assess the accuracy of AI Overviews, finding it's right 90 percent of the time. The flip side is that 1 in 10 AI answers is wrong, and for #Google , that means hundreds of thousands of lies going out every minute of the day.

I've been thinking a lot about how we should talk about generative AI recently and here's something I realized; focusing on the ethics of generative AI (or lack thereof) is a waste if you're not also mentioning the practical issues, ESPECIALLY the fact that legally speaking LLM code inherently makes all software licenses unenforceable because only humans can own copyright. If you're wondering why that's important, I've seen enough people have absurd breakdowns over people daring to make package scripts for, say, the AUR to realize that a lot of talented programmers are also extreme control freaks. So it might be worthwhile to mention that LLM generated output is uncopyrightable.

The AI Great Leap Forward
Similar to the #Chinese Great Leap Forward's inflated grain production reports, companies are fabricating or exaggerating #AI adoption and productivity gains to please leadership, leading to increased investment based on made up numbers. The focus seem to have shifted from genuine AI development to "demoware" – impressive-looking prototypes and interfaces with little underlying validation, data infrastructure, or maintenance plans, creating future tech debt.
[…] Entire departments are stitching together n8n workflows and calling it AI — dozens of automated chains firing prompts into models, zero evaluation on any of them. These tools are merchants of complexity: they sell visual simplicity while generating spaghetti underneath. A drag-and-drop canvas makes it trivially easy to chain ten LLM calls together and impossibly hard to debug why the eighth one hallucinates on Tuesdays. The people building these workflows have never designed an evaluation pipeline, never measured model drift, never A/B tested a prompt. They don’t need to — the canvas looks clean, the arrows point forward, the green checkmarks fire. The complexity isn’t avoided. It’s hidden behind a GUI where nobody with ML expertise will ever look.

Today, we’re excited to announce the public release of LetsMatch.ai - the world’s first agentic AI dating platform, powered by Lush’s infrastructure.
...
You get an AI agent built directly into your social media (starting with Instagram) that acts as your personal wingman and matchmaker - booking you real dates on autopilot while you live your life.
...
We believe the future of dating isn’t swiping - it’s delegating.
Apparently they don't think relating to other human beings is part of living.

In fact, there are over 500 documented companies that work in the field of technology-driven political persuasion. This means thev sell their services to politicians and political campaigns, claiming they car help influence your opinions - and your vote."

“Early in the Reticulum—thousands of years ago—it became almost useless because it was cluttered with faulty, obsolete, or downright misleading information,” Sammann said.
“Crap, you once called it,” I reminded him.
“Yes—a technical term. So crap filtering became important. Businesses were built around it. Some of those businesses came up with a clever plan to make more money: they poisoned the well. They began to put crap on the Reticulum deliberately, forcing people to use their products to filter that crap back out. They created syndevs whose sole purpose was to spew crap into the Reticulum. But it had to be good crap.”
“What is good crap?” Arsibalt asked in a politely incredulous tone.
“Well, bad crap would be an unformatted document consisting of random letters. Good crap would be a beautifully typeset, well-written document that contained a hundred correct, verifiable sentences and one that was subtly false. It’s a lot harder to generate good crap. At first they had to hire humans to churn it out. They mostly did it by taking legitimate documents and inserting errors—swapping one name for another, say. But it didn’t really take off until the military got interested.”
“As a tactic for planting misinformation in the enemy’s reticules, you mean,” Osa said. “This I know about. You are referring to the Artificial Inanity programs of the mid–First Millennium A.R.”
“Exactly!” Sammann said. “Artificial Inanity systems of enormous sophistication and power were built for exactly the purpose Fraa Osa has mentioned.”

All this is making it hard to separate out #AI #bubble action from general market crazy.
I would suggest that folks who think using AI is great for mathematicians should think again. It seems as little as 10 minutes of use can be problematic. What else do we know that provides short-term gains at the expense of long-term loss?
Here, through a series of randomized controlled trials on human-AI interactions (N = 1,222), we provide causal evidence for two key consequences of AI assistance: reduced persistence and impairment of unassisted performance. Across a variety of tasks, including mathematical reasoning and reading comprehension, we find that although AI assistance improves performance in the short-term, people perform significantly worse without AI and are more likely to give up. Notably, these effects emerge after only brief interactions with AI (approximately 10 minutes). These findings are particularly concerning because persistence is foundational to skill acquisition and is one of the strongest predictors of long-term learning.From AI Assistance Reduces Persistence and Hurts Independent Performance, on arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.04721

There are good logical and organizational reasons why living beings are sentient, but algorithmic systems can never be.
"We argue [computational functionalism] fundamentally mischaracterizes how physics relates to information. We call this mistake the #AbstractionFallacy. Tracing the causal origins of abstraction reveals that symbolic computation is not an intrinsic physical process. Instead, it is a mapmaker-dependent description. It requires an active, experiencing cognitive agent to alphabetize continuous physics into a finite set of meaningful states."

Hello AppSec community!
Our preparations for German #OWASP Day 2026 (GOD) are in full swing. As some of you may have noticed, the website is already live (and kicking): https://god.owasp.de/
This year’s GOD will take place on September 24, 2026, in Karlsruhe. It's a one-day conference with two tracks. We will once again be offering community training sessions on the day before, i.e. the 23rd of September. That evening will -- as usual -- feature networking and professional discussions in a relaxed atmosphere with food and beverages.
We recently opened the call for community trainings. They were extremely well-received last year, and we’d like to build on that success this year.
So if you have a topic you’d like to present in a half-day session, check out the Call for Community Trainings (CfT): https://lnkd.in/edAnfmZ4 . It's planned to stay open until April 12, 2026. If you happen to know someone who's good explaining a relevant topic (see CfT) to a small group of people, feel free to forward the pointer to the CfT.
The Call for Presentations will open next week.

👉 “The second problem is the asymmetry. To be secure, you need to investigate *and fix* all of the vulnerabilities that tools can find. For an attacker, you just need one vulnerability. The ROI for attackers is much higher. Imagine a tool with a 90% false positive rate that finds 1,000 vulnerability-shaped objects. An attacker who triages 6-7 of them has around a 50% chance of finding an attack that they can use. A defender who does the same amount of work has a 50% chance of reducing the number of vulnerabilities discoverable by attackers using this or similar tools by 1%.”
That’s it exactly. An attacker doesn’t need to triage all possible vulnerabilities, but a defender does.
#AI is a DoS tool.
The original Coverity paper found over 300 bugs, most of which had security implications. Static analysis has been great at finding exploitable vulnerabilities for a long time. This is a new approach to doing static analysis.
The biggest problem is always the false positive rate. If you run a tool and it finds a load of vulnerabilities, that’s great. Except you run the same tool and it also finds a load of things that look like vulnerabilities, but aren’t. So now you have to triage them and that takes effort. You also need to add annotations to silence the ones that aren’t real. With deterministic analysers, you can often provide some extra information (e.g. parameter attributes) that allow this information to be tracked across an analysis boundary. BCMC has a lot of these. But with a probabilistic tool, these may or may not work. So you’re left with just slapping on an annotation that says ‘ignore the warning here’. The bug I found a little while ago in some MISRA C code was of that form: their analyser had found it, someone had determined it was not a bug, and they were wrong.
For a defender, if you spend too much time looking at and discounting false positives, you can improve code quality better with something else. I’ve only looked at a few of the bugs Claude reported, but one was a missing bounds check that wasn’t actually a vulnerability because the bounds were checked in the caller. Its fix made things slower, but not less exploitable. A good static analyser would have had a tool for annotating the function parameter to say ‘this is always at least n bytes’ and then checked that callers did this check. Claude has nothing like this because it doesn’t actually have a model of how code executes, it just has a set of probabilities for what exploitable code looks like. Unfortunately (and this is one of the problems with C), correct and vulnerable code can look exactly the same with different call stacks.
The second problem is the asymmetry. To be secure, you need to investigate and fix all of the vulnerabilities that tools can find. For an attacker, you just need one vulnerability. The ROI for attackers is much higher. Imagine a tool with a 90% false positive rate that finds 1,000 vulnerability-shaped objects. An attacker who triages 6-7 of them has around a 50% chance of finding an attack that they can use. A defender who does the same amount of work has a 50% chance of reducing the number of vulnerabilities discoverable by attackers using this or similar tools by 1%.
This is why I build things that deterministically prevent classes of vulnerabilities from being exploitable.
The new way of selling 'AI' seems to be to push it as a bugfinder. The latest example being waved around as of yesterday includes, as one of its non-embargoed examples, what is patched by this #OpenBSD patch.
https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/7.8/common/025_sack.patch.sig
The problematic thing is that this sort of bugfixing hasn't changed the commentary in the code, which stated that p points to the last linked list entry at the point of the added null check and can never be null. But it actually can be, if there was a sole linked list entry that ended up being fully encompassed and thus deleted.
So this kind of 'AI' use is going to give us a lot more comments-do-not-match-code maintenance headaches down the road.
(Both #NetBSD and #FreeBSD factor this out into a separate tcp_sack.c and do the linked list handling slightly differently without a 'previous' pointer.)

"First, you can’t (or at least shouldn’t) use this technology for mission-critical work; only for low stakes tasks, or questions to which a clever (and significantly more energy efficient) human can recognize a wrong answer.
Second, that the idea that scaling will make for better models is nonsense: no amount of compute chucked at an LLM will make it a less-hallucinogenic product. Creating AI that rewires itself and creates new information the same way humans do and avoids the kinds of catastrophic errors we see at the moment needs a full fresh start (something Marecki and many others are already working on).
And third, that the massive spending by the hyperscalers (much of it via debt) on giant data centers might be one of the the greatest misallocations of capital of all time. It just isn’t required. That’s particularly the case given there are already free LLM models you can download to a laptop (no data center needed, and better still, your privacy guaranteed) that do what the very large models do. If the paid-for versions have already hit their ceiling and just aren’t going to get any better (it looks like they aren’t), why pay for them? Quite."

Regarding welcoming the AI proponents to the Fediverse.
Fuck that shit. You can try. You can create an account, no one will deny you that right.
Whether you get to keep that account is entirely up to you. You will either draw the ire of your instance's admin(s) and find yourself banned. Or, you will find your engagement limited to other AI fanatics only, because the rest of us muted or blocked you.
You are free to say your piece, but we don't have to listen to you.
Personally? I believe AI proponents are fucking idiots, and I am generally not a fan of speaking with fucking idiots. I aggressively block people on the subject.
My advice? Go back to Twitter. You won't find many friends here.
I don't do in-person conferences, during this stage of my life; but I am now open to speaking at virtual conferences, again.
In particular, I have experience I can share about examining, understanding and mitigating risks in custom home-grown software.

YouTube claims it is a problem between her and the AI company and that they are not involved.

What appears as critique – yearning for smaller, weirder, more human spaces – often functions as brand repair. Netstalgia becomes a strategy: it restores trust without redistributing power, softens anger without changing infrastructures and reframes structural problems as matters of vibe, design or community feeling."Am I working on change, or am I working on brand repair?" is an important question to ask oneself regularly, it seems to me. It's especially relevant for the tech sector, open source, and computer science.

Claude Mythos Wake-Up Call: What AI Vulnerability Discovery Means for Cyber Defense – Check Point
Last week, the industry learned that Anthropic was developing Claude Capybara, also called Mythos, a powerful new AI model with substantially improved capabilities in vulnerability discovery, exploit development, and multi-step attack reasoning. While the details emerged through a data leak rather than a formal launch, the market response was unmistakable: AI has crossed a critical cyber security threshold. The frontier models are accelerating attack lifecycles and will enable attackers to identify and exploit vulnerabilities at scale, speed and through novel methods that previously were the domain of advanced nation state entities.
For security leaders, this development is both a warning and a call to action. It crystallizes a trend we’ve been closely monitoring and preparing for: the democratization and industrialization of cyber attacks.

Yes, a lot of you don't want AI posts in your feed (or pick any other topic) but the solution isn't to keep "AI People" from joining MastodonIf this were not a disingenuous strawman---because it's impossible for one thing---I'd ask "why not?" I wouldn't invite the "AI People" I've encountered into my house either, because I've found them to be unpleasant and I get to choose who enters my space. This solution has worked quite well for me over the years.
It seems to me that what this person is saying is that people should give up the power they have---namely, their power to exclude people and topics they don't wish to interact with---because it favors them. That's a typical rhetorical move of AI boosters: demanding you give up your power because you having and exercising that power inconveniences them.
any more than it is keeping marginalized communities off of Mastodon.One should ask why this person chose to use the most offensive possible metaphor to make their case for inclusion. It's almost as though they don't believe the argument their words are shaped into resembling.
It has been a busy winter so far for me, which is why I haven't been posting a lot here. But today I'm proud to share with you the fruits of some of that labor: The Colorado Democratic Party's platform for 2026. For those unfamiliar, a platform (in the US) is a statement of values that a political party stands for, generally agreed upon by people who stand for election as representatives of the party.
I was elected during last year's party re-org to the Platform Committee. The chair of the committee asked if I would run the subcommittees for two of the "planks" (sections) of the platform: the Democracy section, and the New Tech & AI section. It was an honor to work on both.
I'm going to share screenshots from the New Tech & AI plank because it's relevant to the work I do here, and I think a lot of people might be interested to see this statement of values. This plank is brand new, never before covered in prior Platform documents.
I'm also pleased to report that the whole of the Platform Committee and the roughly 1500 delegates to last weekend's statewide party Assembly voted to approve this as-is, with no additional changes, on a vote of 98.9% in favor.
There's a lot to like, but my favorite aspect of this is that I managed to get widespread approval for use of the term #enshittification in the official platform, both from the Platform committee and the larger party leadership. Thanks @pluralistic for the inspiration.
The full platform is readable at https://www.coloradodems.org/platform

New and emerging technologies, medicine, engineering, and science hold the promise of economic growth and improved quality of life, but they also pose the risk of real harm. Colorado Democrats propose a coordinated effort to efficiently and responsibly grow and regulate new technologies, ensuring the pros outweigh the cons.
Emerging Science, Technology, and Engineering
Colorado Democrats support the responsible growth and development of emerging science, technology, and engineering in Colorado and we will work to:
Support STEM fields in K-12 and higher education.
Encourage partnerships between education and industry.
Ensure that tech and media ethics, literacy, safety, and privacy are taught at all levels of education.
Form an independent Colorado Technology Assessment Office to evaluate emerging technologies for risks to residents, workers, and communities, and to recommend regulation to minimize harm.
Alt...
Technology Equity and Accessibility for all Coloradans
Colorado Democrats recognize that all Coloradans must have equal access to new technologies to thrive and succeed. Therefore, we will work to:
Require impact assessments before deploying new technologies that may affect jobs, communities, or public services, and provide transition support for affected workers and residents.
Continue the strong defense of election systems
Ensure new technology is available to all Coloradans.
Prioritize open platforms and help avoid any one technology or platform gaining a monopoly in its area of service.
Roll out high-speed broadband service to every corner of the state and ensure no new monopolies are created.
Make every effort to push back on “enshittification” – the gradual worsening of online services and technology products we rely on, purely in pursuit of profit.
Alt...
Protect Human and Civil Rights in Emerging Technologies
Emerging and existing technologies, science, medicine, and engineering must be safe, fair, and protect both human and civil rights. Because a technology system can never be held accountable for its actions, technology alone should never have the final say on life-or-death decisions. We will work to:
Ensure each Coloradan owns the data about them on any platform or technology.
Strictly limit the use of digital surveillance.
Require any technology provider to fully and simply explain their product’s capabilities
Enable users to opt in, instead of opt out, of data collection or data sharing with third parties.
Adopt a state and federal constitutional amendment protecting the right to data privacy. Ensuring government searches, surveillance, or collection of personal information occur only with due process, a lawful warrant, or in narrowly defined national security matters.
Strengthen Colorado's cybersecurity posture by requiring state agencies and critical infrastructure operators to adopt modern security standards, promptly notify residents of data breaches, and invest in cybersecurity workforce development.
Alt...
Limit Abusive or Harmful Practices by AI Companies
Generative AI has the potential to cause societal harm to both Colorado residents and good government practices. As such, the Colorado Democratic Party will work to:
Protect Colorado jobs: AI should support, not replace, skilled professionals; employers should not devalue human workers.
Keep humans in charge: People, not algorithms, must be the final deciders when life-safety, health, or labor and wage decisions must be made.
Respect creators: Companies must get permission before using someone’s work to train AI systems, and they must fairly compensate people for their contributions.
Defend scarce resources: Technology companies should invest in renewable resources and water conservation practices. Data center demands for clean water, power, and space must be secondary to the need for Colorado residents to access those scarce resources.
Protect personal identity and privacy: Coloradans have the ultimate right to control information or imagery portraying them; the AI industry must respond to reports of harm in a timely and effective manner.
Require transparency and human oversight when state and local government agencies use AI or automated systems in decisions affecting Coloradans' benefits, services, rights, or freedom

Cinematic photograph, dramatic lighting. A man matching the uploaded photo's face, hair, and build is sitting at a dark workbench in a dimly lit room, both hands on a small antique brass oil lamp (Aladdin-style with curved spout). His expression is a mix of amazement and nervousness... wide eyes, slightly parted lips, leaning back just a fraction like he's not sure what he just unleashed. He's wearing a casual t-shirt, backwards ball cap. From the lamp's spout, a thick plume of warm orange smoke (#FF6B35, Anthropic brand orange) billows upward. Within the smoke, the shape of the Claude AI avatar is forming... a stylized sunburst or asterisk shape with rounded points, hazy and not fully solid, emerging from the smoke like a spirit materializing. The Claude shape is made of denser orange smoke with faint golden highlights at its edges, partially translucent, still connected to the smoke trail below. The smoke dissipates at the top into wisps. Background is matte black (#0F0F0F). A coiled ethernet cable and the edge of a terminal screen with green text are barely visible on the workbench. Single dramatic overhead light source with deep shadows. Photorealistic, cinematic, moody. No daylight. No motorhome. No red tones (the orange is warm amber-orange, not red). No cartoon or illustration style. No Disney Aladdin reference. No text or watermarks.
How about, instead of spending millions on building an AI tutor, we use that money on solutions that are known to work. Like smaller classrooms? Better-paid teacher? Less bureaucracy in schools? Working social support programs? Art classes in school?

A recent Axios story on maternal health policy referenced "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. On the surface, there's nothing unusual about that. What wasn't originally mentioned, however, was that these findings were made up.
Clicking through the links revealed (as did a subsequent editor's note and clarification by Axios) that the public opinion poll was a computer simulation run by the artificial intelligence start-up Aaru. No people were involved in the creation of these opinions.
The practice Aaru used is called silicon sampling, and it's suddenly everywhere. The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing. Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use A.I. agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.
I really want to know what the c-suite folks in the software and tech industries are planning to do when their engineers have relied on LLMs for so long they can no longer support their systems without out them, and the LLM providers jack up their costs 20x or more to get their ROI on all the datacenters

A few more links in the comment that's pinned under <https://redd.it/1sapr8a>, but Carlini's half-hour presentation is a must.
I’ve made this point before about how inane AI hype is now, but a computer beat the best chess player in the world in 1997. No one pretended, after 1997, it wasn’t worthwhile to have humans compete in chess. In fact, the world of chess developed strict protocols around computer use and you can get banned from tournaments if you use a computer program as you play. You are certainly shamed and mocked.#AI #GenAI #GenerativeAI #AIHype #LLMs #writing #tech #dev #coding #SoftwareDevelopment #SoftwareEngneering #softwareAI and writing needs to be treated the same way. I do think people should be shamed for using AI to help them write creatively. It’s an embarrassment, and a form of cheating.
Haha, the first reply on zuck zuck is just genius

#China demonstrates leadership in both #business #tech and #AI by offering subsidized access to computing. This means small firms in China have both national and international advantages. As AI rises the sustainable issue is access to enough computing for affordable price. To do that you need affordable land and electricity, which China has.
#investing in Chinese #tech and AI is looking like a smarter play each day.

FFS - whole fake girl band created with #AI which risks diverting attention and money away from real female artists and is probably one man's creepy fantasy (its buried fairly deeply in the site that its an AI project)
thanks to @limneticvillains for the heads up..
On Bluesky there's a 'virtual female metal band' doing the rounds shilling shit AI music, each virtual fake band member has their own s'media pages where whomever is making the project tries to sexualise these fake AI women to help sell the shit fake music.
Block it all.

#Perplexity's “Incognito” mode still shares your chats, email, and identifiers with Meta/Google. It’s surveillance with better branding.

Just hooked up #Gemma4 with #AntiGravity. Pretty slow, but it works. Now I can code without internet too ^^ 🚀
This new #Nature paper (using old models) illustrates the point of my latest Substack post on AI interfaces. #AI did a good job diagnosing medical issues, until users had to interact with chatbots, then the interface led to confusion & worse answers

@TomAoki thanks, one additional point: I would not ask OpenZFS to reject the type of code that it already accepts.
To avoid any possible confusion: I mean <https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/commit/6495dafd58b94a44fc9bc966ef47d6bc6916f5b9> as the supposedly offensive example.
I see nothing sloppy or offensive.
The two reviewers and the signatory are eminently well-qualified.

A screenshot of some text generated using markov chains from a self-help book that reads:

With motivational and educational audiobooks, it has been more boring. But one day and try to counter anything his opponent tried. The boy agreed, and the facilitator writes it on tape and sent it to be honest with you and coach you for a long time to learn you would "
