Using LLMs is like driving a big-ass gas truck. No one *should* do it, but it can be useful, and you—as an individual—shouldn't *really* feel that bad for doing it under limited circumstances. But please remember, using it feeds some of the worst companies in history, and *they* (and especially their decision-makers) need to be held responsible for their destructive practices. Every dollar in their pockets helps promote more late-stage capitalism and fascism. Lastly, If you *do* use it, don't drive like an asshole. --- Credentials: years spent working both for and against various AI companies. *braces for backlash* #AI #LLMs

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious --Ted Chiang, The Atlantic Should we seriously consider the possibility that Claude, or any large language model, might be conscious? And if it has feelings, is it capable of receiving moral instruction? No. Absolutely not. Generative AI is harmful enough when we understand it as a conventional technology, but if we confuse fluency at generating text with consciousness or moral agency, we’re at risk of assigning responsibility to entirely the wrong parties whenever anyone uses a chatbot. Being open to the possibility that LLMs are conscious is the same as being open to the possibility that Microsoft Word is conscious, or, more precisely, that multiple distinct consciousnesses are dormant in every Word document containing a conversational transcript, and that they are awakened every time the document is loaded. Should you consider the possibility that every time you open a Word document, you are bringing multiple conscious interlocutors into existence, and every time you close one, you snuff their existence out? No. Contemplating that scenario is not a good use of your time. Even if the Microsoft Office team employed a philosopher who said you shouldn’t be so certain, because consciousness is not well understood, that would not be sufficient reason for you to take this idea seriously. We don’t need to fully understand the nature of consciousness to definitively say that certain things are not conscious, and conversational transcripts fall in that category. #AI #AISlop #AIResearch https://www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2026/06/no-artificial-intelligence-is-not-conscious/687378/

This #RefugeeWeek, we're calling on UK politicians to show courage and stand up for people seeking safety! That means fighting back against the Home Office's potentially unlawful use of AI in asylum decision-making. Tell your MP to back an immediate ban ➡️ https://action.openrightsgroup.org/ban-ai-tools-asylum-decision-making #asylum #ai #immigration #homeoffice #migrants #ukpolitics #ukpol

RE: https://cosocial.ca/@PaulBusch/116767080700603700 "We could do "AI cancer research" by producing tools that automate gnarly multivariant analysis problems for cancer researchers. But what we're actually doing is defunding cancer research (especially any research into "systemic" cancer because studying systemic things is "woke") to free up fiscal space so we can build data-centers and make Musk into a trillionaire. That's not just a dead economy – it's one that'll kill everyone you love and everything that matters." - @pluralistic@mamot.fr #ai

@anneroth@systemli.social Whaaat? Did I miss that in your posts? Can you make it public, if you did not already did?? Do the #wSocial people think that other people do neither think nor do research?! Especially you... Well, they strongly depend on " #ai " #slop so maybe the machine that wrote to you was fed with bad training data 😆 #slopmachines

"We're verifying that you are a human". How degrading is this sentence? It's CloudFlare's warning and it often happens you must complete a challenge. In this case a flag to check, in other cases it even gets worse - a captcha based on senses. Hearing and vision. And if you're impaired, you're simply screwed. It's more and more frequent due to the very high percentage of bots navigating the web, automated systems percentage has overcome humans and it's an evident statistic. We can't deny this. But I must share this fear: humans just click on the flag or overcome the challenge without even being aware of what the real meaning of "tell me you are a human" is. It can even cause internalized ableism. Humans with disabilities normalizing the fact to have mandatory certification of being humans. #a11y #ableism #accessibility #ai #blind #disability #human #inclusion #StayHuman #web

The use of AI in asylum decision-making is likely unlawful. These tools rewrite interviews, choosing what to include and exclude. Without knowing this, asylum applicants can't be sure accurate information is used to inform decisions. 📺️ ORG's @sarahalsherif@mas.to explains. https://peertube.openrightsgroup.org/w/fhDQ1ezbb79jedsHPTqe1X #RefugeeWeek #courage #asylum #ai #migrants #immigration #ukpolitics #ukpol

Get ready to get under the covers and learn about the x402 payment protocol! Mastercard is laying the foundation to support/enable agent to agent payments aka fully automated no human needed payments! Agent Pay for Machines, is their platform that lets AI agents and software systems make secure, automated payments across cards, bank accounts and stablecoins. The solution claims it will create trust by authenticating AI agents, enforcing spending limits and guaranteeing settlement through Mastercard’s network. More than 30 companies, including Coinbase, Stripe and Adyen are participating and the system will support the Polygon, Solana and Base blockchains, with more to come later this year. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/06/10/mastercard-prepares-for-a-future-where-ai-agents-make-payments-with-latest-introduction #AI #AIAgents #AIPayment #MasterCard #x402 #CoinBase #Stripe #Adven #Polygon #Solana #Base #BlockChain #Payments #Money #AutomatedPayments #AgentPayforMachines #DigitalAssets #AgenticCommerce #Trust #Security

Hey fediverse Some time ago I read an article (linked from here) about universities and research and the use of AI. The general expression was that the research outcome are generally not the product (at least for pre php students) but the researcher And this gets destroyed by AI/ LLMs Do you know the article? Could you send me a link? #FediPower #AI
