also and just in case you missed it - I'm 100% with #CoryDoctorow on this :bill: (which is why I go and see him talk at #Carriageworks in August) https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/116974457837682586
Quoting
Cory Doctorow @pluralistic@mamot.fr
As a *technology*, AI isn't exceptional. It's not exceptionally wicked. It's not exceptionally good. Take away the accompanying, galactic-scale stock-swindle, and we'd call AI's applications "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way that we've used every other technology: https://www.normaltech.ai/ 1/

WERNERPRISE° KI-frei seit 2004 @wernerprise@mastodon.bits-und-baeume.org · Jul 01, 2026
Einer der besten und wichtigsten Artikel dieses Jahres (oder sogar Jahrzehnts), und er stammt natürlich von Cory Doctorow (⁠@pluralistic@mamot.fr⁠). Leena Simon (⁠@reticuleena@digitalcourage.social⁠) und Bernd Sieker haben eine Rede von ihm über sein neues Buch »The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI« ins Deutsche übersetzt. Und dieses Bild vom umgekehrten Zentaur, also einem Maschinenkopf, der von einem menschlichen Körper herumgetragen wird, eignet sich hervorragend, um zu erklären, was bei »KI« so alles schief läuft. Und im Rest der digitalen Welt. Und im Rest der Wirtschaft. Und im Rest der Welt. https://digitalcourage.de/blog/2026/der-umgekehrte-zentaur-ki Gefunden bei @digitalcourage@digitalcourage.social via @nilz@norden.social und @zeitrafferin@infosec.exchange Das Buch gibt’s bei booklooker: https://www.booklooker.de/B%C3%BCcher/Angebote/isbn=9781836745525 #NieKI #KünstlicheIntelligenz #KünstlicheDummheit #KI #Kapitalismus #CoryDoctorow

Auszug, aus dem sehr lesenswerten, langen Text: "Wie ich schon sagte, die Aufgabe eines SF-Autors ist es, mehr zu tun, als nur darüber nachzudenken, was ein Ding tut, sondern tiefergehend nachzuforschen, für wen das Ding dies tut, und wem es das antut. Die Tech-Bosse wollen uns weismachen, dass eine Technologie nur auf eine einzige Weise genutzt werden kann. Marc Zuckerberg will, dass du es für technisch unmöglich hältst, eine Unterhaltung zu führen, ohne dass er dabei zuhört. Tim Cook will, dass du es für technisch unmöglich hältst, dich auf deinen Computer zu verlassen, es sei denn, er bekommt ein Vetorecht darüber, welche Software du installierst, und vorausgesetzt, dass er sich 30 Cent von jedem Euro nehmen darf, den du ausgibst. Sundar Pichai will, dass du es für unmöglich hältst, eine Webseite zu finden, ohne dass er dich dabei nach Strich und Faden ausspioniert. (...)" via @digitalcourage@digitalcourage.social Danke für die Übesetzung! #CoryDoctorow #LebenNachDerKI RE: https://digitalcourage.social/@digitalcourage/116816529391432274
