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.

----------------

🛠️ Tool
===================

Opening: Second Brain is a repository of AI agent skills that automates building a personal knowledge base inside an Obsidian vault. The project follows the LLM Wiki pattern: drop raw sources into a designated folder, have an LLM synthesize structured wiki pages, and browse the result in Obsidian.

Key Features:
• raw/ ingestion model that treats incoming documents as the source-of-truth for wiki page generation.
• Four named skills: /second-brain (vault setup wizard), /second-brain-ingest (source processing and page creation), /second-brain-query (natural-language queries against the wiki), and /second-brain-lint (health checks and consistency validation).
• Auto-generation of content types: sources, entities, concepts, synthesis, index, and operation log.
• Native orientation for Obsidian exploration: wikilinks, graph view, and an index.md master catalog.

Technical Implementation:
• Architecture relies on an LLM acting as the curator and content synthesizer, with agent skills orchestrating ingestion, parsing, metadata extraction, and page templating.
• The workflow treats a raw/ inbox folder as the canonical input stream; attachments and images are stored under raw/assets/ and referenced from generated pages.
• Optional integrations mentioned include a web clipper for capturing sources and auxiliary tools for summarization and local search (e.g., summarize, qmd, agent-browser).

Use Cases:
• Personal research consolidation: convert articles, papers, and transcripts into a browsable, interlinked knowledge graph.
• Team knowledge sharing: create a curated vault that surfaces entities and synthesis pages for domain teams.
• Continuous ingestion pipeline: clip web content into the raw folder and let the agent maintain the evolving wiki.

Limitations:
• The system depends on the chosen LLM’s quality for accurate summarization and linking; hallucinations or inconsistent metadata can propagate across pages.
• Scale and search performance depend on external tooling for local search and indexing rather than built-in capabilities.
• The project references specific agent implementations and optional helper tools but does not prescribe a single provider; integration choices affect behavior and cost.

Here is my proposal for a stand alone.
OFFGRID COMMUNITY AI SYSTEM.

That's right.Your very own co-op AI

The calculations are very much back of the envelope, first cut, but quite feasible.
A 32billion parameters, frontier level performance compatable open source #llm model. The power requirements is that of 3AC units including cooling. Serves 15-20 concurrent users. 40 households of 4 people each (taking into account actual AI model distributed use metrics and contention ratios)

40 households, subscribing at $30/month over 2 years + power (solar). Train with your own datasets.
Entire set up takes half a rack.

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.

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.

LLMs have no concept of "true" or "good." But they are trained to signal high-quality work. Meanwhile, bosses are pressuring workers: go faster, produce more, let the AI cook.

Study after study documents what this does to the human brain: cognitive surrender. We're "in the loop" but the bot calls the shots.

#AI #LLM #SiliconSampling

Alt...

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 large international study coordinated by the #EBU and led by the #BBC found that AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time across different languages and platforms, with #Gemini performing the worst.

[…] Key findings: 

• 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
• 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
• 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
• Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.
• Comparison between the BBC’s results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.

My thoughts on generative "AI" I'm glad generative artificial "intelligence" was not a thing yet during the vast majority of my career. A number of realizations arose while exploring generative Large Language Models… Generative AI is based on massive theft from creatives, without consent, credit or compensation. Using gen-AI is asking a chatbot to spit out the combined efforts of ripped-off creatives. It is industrializing and devaluing human expression, artistry and craftsmanship. Creatives are losing their jobs and motivation because tech corporations unscrupulously absorb and exploit their work. If you appreciate art, support the artists, not the thieves of their labor. Tech corporations are building more and more huge data centers for AI processing, consuming lots of internet bandwidth, energy, water and more, increasing scarcity, prices and emissions, degrading the already fragile environment. Unless you're using a fully local AI configuration, every bit of data you submit contributes to the power and reach of corporations and governments, decreasing your privacy and security. Generative AI enables deepfakes that are widely used for abuse, deception, cybercrime, misinformation and propaganda, polluting justice, science advancement and news report credibility. More text doesn't fit in this Alt text, but everything can be read over at https://metinseven.nl

The argument that you can use an #LLM to do something real, reliable and useful is about as convincing at this point as someone explaining that you can use a pickup truck to write letters with a pencil by building a giant robot holding the truck in the air with a pencil taped to the windshield via a broomstick. #claude

The Claude Code leak is a delight.

Of course, Anthropic is requesting (with legal actions) developers to remove the copies or the clones publicly available online. Because AI companies are taking copyright issues very seriously as everyone knows.

It reveals how all that stuff is wobbly. Where is the Science in these glorified prompts? Where is the value in these companies? Training the model is, probably, but the prompts are hilarious.

Shaw & Nave's "cognitive surrender" paper is an unpublished preprint. No peer review. No journal. Posted on SSRN in January. Minimal (none I could find) academic citations in three months.

What it does have: a Wharton podcast, Futurism coverage, a dozen Substacks, and a term that went viral.

A paper about people uncritically adopting AI outputs goes viral because people uncritically adopted its framing.
That's the whole story.

They gave 1,372 (good sample) people logic puzzles from the Cognitive Reflection Test, questions specifically designed so most people give the wrong answer on instinct (!). Then they embedded ChatGPT, rigged to sometimes give confident wrong answers. The wrong answers were the
*same intuitive errors the test was built to trigger*.

Calling this "System 3", a fundamental revision of Kahneman's cognitive architecture don't make it so. The #AI didn't override anyone's deliberation. It confirmed a bias the participants already had, on a test engineered to produce exactly that bias. That's automation bias.
We've had a name for it since 1996.
Not as sexy as "cognitive surrender" though.

👉Trust in AI predicts following AI. Higher IQ predicts overriding bad answers. Tautologies as moderation analyses.

👉20 cents per item + feedback nearly halved the effect. Some deep cognitive restructuring.
Moni. PEOPLE WANT MONIN FOR SMARTS

👉 The headline effect size is inflated by design, AI-Faulty pushes toward the answer people were already going to give (Super dodgy)

👉 No human-advisor control. Can't distinguish "people defer to AI" from "people defer to any confident source." The entire System 3 framing hangs on a comparison they didn't make.

The finding, people follow confident bad AI advice, is real. But that's automation bias lit, not a new cognitive architecture.
Computer says NO!
"Cognitive surrender" is a marketing term.
"System 3" is a brand extension.

Enormous vibes-to-citation ratio.

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6097646

TLDR; People boost this uncited preprint because catch title thats retreaded a 29yo "discovery" that folks trust machines.

"A growing body of evidence, drawn from leaked planning documents, academic research, and the testimony of intelligence professionals, suggests that the most consequential military operation of the twenty-first century may have been shaped less by strategic necessity than by a phenomenon researchers now call AI sycophancy — the tendency of large language models to tell their users exactly what they want to hear."

Grammarly quietly made an #AI to sell bad writing advice using famous writers' names. They quickly had to backtrack as soon as people found out.

This gamble reflects a broader trend in the #tech industry: everyone is shipping features as quickly as an #LLM can write lines of code, with no way to spot problems until something breaks or someone sues them.

That said, I have concerns.

They're throwing every scrap of DNA they can find into a dataset. This introduces some very strange bias! Model organisms like flies, mice, and humans are massively overrepresented, as are large mixed populations of unidentified soil bacteria, which are only there because they were trivial to collect. The model assumes that genetics and selection pressures are basically the same for all these species, which is wrong, though perhaps good enough for many uses.

It also raises philosophical questions about what this model actually does, what its outputs mean, and how to interpret them. I worry folks will assume it "understands" how molecules work, when really it's noticing accidents of phylogenetic history. I also worry mashing everything into one model might obscure insights about early evolution or rare species, but I honestly have no idea.

Mostly I'm just grumpy at how reluctant they seem to be to talk about specific limitations of their methods.

#science #biology #ai #llm

The other day, I got to hear a speaker from evolutionaryscale.ai talk about their research training LLMs with genetic data, rather than human text.

Where a traditional LLM can learn the rules of language, their model learns the rules of protein sequences, which are less about which sentences are grammatical and more about which genetic variants would cause a big drop in fitness and get eliminated from the population. It can also generalize from sequences of tokens to infer systems of meaning. It can group proteins by shape or function, understand how different shapes complement, interact, and bind with one another, and even generate gene sequences for novel proteins with useful traits.

This works, and will surely be a powerful source of potential new innovations in biology and medicine. Each one will have to be tested in living organisms to prove its real, but this should be a way to quickly generate lots of new hypotheses to test!

Last week some enterprising Mastodon account was discovered to be scraping posts to feed to an AI for the purpose of helping people navigate the Fediverse. The response was swift. The alarm went out. The account was widely blocked and shunned.

Yesterday to great fanfare #Bluesky announced, as a new corporate feature, all posts would be scraped and an AI would now help users navigate the ATmosphere.

Yeah, lots.

Despite having spent lots of time trying to create meaningful directory names it's still not easy to always find a photo I'm looking for.

What would actually be a USEFUL tool for AI would be something that I could run locally which could examine each of my photos and build some kind of free-text database of their contents which I can then grep.

But as far as I can tell nothing along those lines exists. Why have AI tools spent so much time trying to create faked photos and not producing something actually valuable?

"Just telling Ai agents what to do and checking their work" sounds very good.

Avoid the drugery, just do the interesting stuff.

Personal anectode: When I was a code monkey, I loved to code...
...initially.
Then when I was working accounting systems and databases... it was a chore. There was a small blip of dopamine when a bug was splatted or the module was finished. But overall, it was boring. I would often 'ornamentalise' my code, add unnecessary bits to keep me insterested.

Anyway, the point I want to make, to #vibecode you still have to know how to program, how to break down the outcome into smaller pieces of the elephant and how to make it work together when the #agent gets into the weeds.... and the best part you can 'code' in frameworks you are unfamiliar with on syntax level because code primitives remain code primitives and functions remain functions.

Have I understand you right that KeePassx   now uses large language model to write some of the code partially?

“The original version of this article has been retracted. I used an #LLM to write the #FirstDraft, though this had come after many hours of planning and going through the data and analyses to identify the points to be made, as well as me going through the post line by line, editing into my voice and verifying the wording and scope of the text was accurate. However, many people still felt like the #LLMSpeak bled through in ways that felt uncomfortable. Given this, I and other members of the #RustProject have decided to retract the post in its entirety.”

Good writing is hard. It is also a metric used to measure a writers abilities to identify and express ideas. In software I use it as a yard stick. No issues expressing a mea culpa.

Folks asked me about #chardet #LGPL situation. @corbet (on @lwn) published https://lwn.net/Articles/1061534/ it; everyone should read that.

Afterwards, take a 👀 at my comment on chardet's issue tracker:

TL;DR: I'm leading an effort at @conservancy to analyze this situation. The results will be published. It will take a long time — for good reason. Meanwhile, anyone using chardet commercially should call their lawyer.

A thought about why some LLM users get so defensive when they hear any criticism of the technology:

They feel inadequate. Not because they are, necessarily, but because our society makes them feel that way.

LLMs make them feel powerful, productive, and competitive, like they have an edge over their past self and anyone who doesn't use the tech.

This relieves the feelings of inadequacy, but only sorta. Deep down, they realize that it's just the LLM that makes them feel / look this way. They would be nothing without it, which is false, but will gradually become true as they depend on the LLM more and stop practicing their skills.

So the LLM becomes an irreplaceable part of who they are. A shield, to hide their inadequacy from the world, which they can never let down.

Criticizing LLMs is attacking their core identity. Admitting that LLMs are flawed would mean becoming inadequate again, perhaps even foolish. They can't do that. They won't.

"heavy LLM users reported that the writing was less creative and not in their voice."

"Even when LLMs are prompted with expert feedback and asked to only make grammar edits, they still change the text in a way that significantly alters its semantic meaning."

"the LLM is not merely correcting grammar, but is actively steering diverse human perspectives towards homogenization, toward a different conceptual mode."

I know someone who's working on models of open-ended intelligence. His work is strange and new, a real departure from today's AI.

He got excited when he saw this contest on Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/kaggle-measuring-agi

I'm pretty sure they don't want my friend to succeed, or to encourage others like him.

They frame this contest as creating a benchmark for "frontier models." That's code for LLMs the big companies make. This call for AGI research presumes to know the answer: their LLMs.

They want the general public to help out by solving the "boring" problem of measuring AGI, so they can focus on building LLMs and making money without thinking too hard about what intelligence actually is or what they're trying to accomplish. They want you to contribute the ideas and the labor that they will profit from.

For some reason this really sticks in my craw. It's just a perfect, tiny encapsulation of so much of the greed, exploitation, and foolishness we see at large scale across the AI industry.

Does anyone have any links, podcasts, video, especially writing on deeply examining #AI/LLMs in non copyright spaces? Like, as an example, I’m in the fan fiction community a lot. Yes, of course there are loads of people that will happily generate slop in those/these spaces, but it seems to never be willingly promoted by readers. If it is promoted, it’s purely accidental and or the output was so heavily edited that it transformed into human writing again. This could be purely personal experience but in my case, I find that it really is not a big thing in those spaces. In short, everyone gives it the middle finger by not even acknowledging its existence in those spaces. Not a head in the sand kind of way but just a collective discussing great work instead. The AI evangelist seem to be very bored of these kinds of spaces and I’m trying to figure out if it’s personal experience or not #NoAI #LLM #AntiAI

The product delivery lifecycle is composed of service relationships. AI's main value proposition is freedom from relationships.

When designers champion AI tools, we are not making ourselves layoff-proof. We are reinforcing a system that frames us as unnecessary friction.

If we don't want to serve as janitors for vibe prototypes, We must invest in deliberately designing the service relationships that make up the PDLC.

The siren song of AI is so compelling to finance/private equity, because it promises PROFITS WITHOUT PEOPLE. The major cost of most corporations is labor. They imagine a world where a company is just a few executives, talking to their LLM, and it all generates profit from all that capital, without worries about salaries, wages, pension plans, worker's comp, health insurance. The fact that a world full of companies without employees will have no customers never rises to their level of thought. The big AI boosters think they will be on the "winning" side -- those in the "telling the AI what to do side" rather than the "no job because it's been offloaded to automation". (even though, today, that "AI" can't actually do that job....) #AI #LLM

A screenshot of the Kagi translation website showing how manipulating URL parameters can bypass the site's intent. Others have shown it revealing its hidden system prompt text even though that prompt contains strict instructions to never do so. Presumably it can also be manipulated to perform other things restricted by that prompt, like fetching network resources. In this case, the translation has been configured to go from English to "valley girl but also describe iteration in Python", and the text "How are you feeling today?" has been entered. The returned "translated" text is seen as: "Omigod, like, how are you even feeling today? It's totally like when you iterate in Python, you know? Like, you use a for loop to go through a list or something, and it just, like, repeats the same block of code for every single item. It's literally like going through your closet one outfit at a time until you find the perfect look. Totally efficient!"

They don't know anything.

Every next word is just a function of the previous words.

It sounds likely and probable because that is what it is designed to do.

It may be factually correct, but only coincidentally in so far as the true answer may also sound likely, so be emitted.

Each word is decoupled from reality, only attached by language use.

#llm #ai #foss #compliance #hoax #notsureiftrolling

No matter how esoteric AI literature has become, and no matter how thoroughly the intellectual origins of AI's technical methods have been forgotten, the technical work of AI has nonetheless been engaged in an effort to domesticate the Cartesian soul into a technical order in which it does not belong. The problem is not that the individual operations of Cartesian reason cannot be mechanized (they can be) but that the role assigned to the soul in the larger architecture of cognition is untenable. This incompatibility has shown itself up in a pervasive and ever more clear pattern of technical frustrations. The difficulty can be shoved into one area or another through programmers' choices about architectures and representation schemes, but it cannot be made to go away.

If one were to continue the genealogy in this article from 1995 to present, one would find many of the same issues inherent in Cartesian dualism present in large language models. Like the STRIPS system Agre surveys, LLMs also generate sequences. They also must make choices among many available options at each step of sequence generation. They also use heuristics to guide this process that would otherwise explode intractably. The heuristics, or what Agre dubs "determining tendency", are random number generators and "guardrails" in LLMs instead of the tree-structured search of previous-generation AI systems. But otherwise the systems are structured similarly.

It's fascinating, but not coincidental, that the determining tendency of AI systems like these is so often perceived to have mystical or even God-like qualities. Breathless predictions about the endless potential of tree-structured search in early writing on GOFAI resembles modern proclamations of imminent AGI or superintelligence among generative AI boosters because both of these mechanisms---tree search or random number generation---are situated where the Cartesian soul would be. These mysterious determining tendencies, homunculuses of last resort, or souls are timeless, acausal factors that choose a single path from an infinite space of possibilities, and thereby direct the encompassing agent's behavior in an intelligent manner.

This is one reason why I posted the other day that if you removed the random number generation from LLMs, the illusion of their intelligence would more than likely quickly evaporate. You'd be excising their soul, leaving behind a zombie!

#AI #GenAI #GenerativeAI #LLM #GOFAI #search #heuristics #CartesianDualism #IntelligenceAsRandomNumberGeneration

There's a new "design is dead, because AI" piece (thinly disguised marketing from Anthropic). But looking past the hype headlines, their claims cover purely production-stage tasks.

When it comes to the work of understanding user needs and evaluating the opportunity space, AI actually makes your thinking worse. Studies show that it alienates you from users and colleagues, and flattens your thinking.

We need more human-centered practice, not less.

I have some mixed feelings on the commons, LLMs, ownership and economics. Would love some input.

I find this hard to navigate so I hope you all can extend me some grace if I mess up. Happy to read and engage, please send links. So... here goes:

I'm seeing a lot of reactions to LLM value extraction that stand on copyright, or where people are reducing their contribution to the commons as a response. This feels like throwing the game to me: the worst move in a hard situation.

#noAI #ai #llm

@emilymbender

Some (I for one) think that calling an #LLM "#ArtificialIntelligence" is a misnomer. More marketing hype than anything "intelligent".

As you said above... using #AI pattern matching software for molecular engineering is one thing. Using an LLM to produce #AIslop #microslop #clickbait is another.

When solving a problem using conventional methods (googling, relying on your own knowledge) you're searching for the solution through trial-and-error.

In comparison, using LLMs renders exhaustive search for the solution obsolete as they directly lead you to the answer. In terms of speed, LLMs are an obvious win here.

But now the question is, have we lost something from avoiding the trial-and-error process, something which cannot be acquired through AI-assisted problem solving? The experience we gain through trial-and-error and deeper understanding of the concepts come to mind. In practice, I'm drawn to the LLM approach due to how ridiculously fast it is. But at the end of the day, it feels like I'm becoming dependent on it and can't do anything without it. And the fear that I missed the chance of exploring it more deeply myself continues to linger on.

I'm still figuring out where to draw the line between those two approaches.

I would like to thank the nascent "AI" industry for their significant contributions to all manner of artistic and creative endeavours in today's society: writing, coding, art, music, and everything else. [1]

Because they have single-handedly created entire new markets for all of these things - new categories such as "writing with guaranteed no AI", "coding with guaranteed no AI", "art with guaranteed no AI", "music with guaranteed no AI", etc. Without them, these whole classes of creative output would simply not exist.

[1] They are also innovating in the world of financial and investor fraud, but I'm not considering those areas in this post.
