  "You, the consumer, purchased your Android device believing in Google’s promise that it was an open computing platform and that you could run whatever software you choose on it. Instead, as of September 2026, they will be non-consensually pushing an update to your operating system that irrevocably blocks this right and leaves you at the mercy of their judgement over what software you are permitted to trust."

  "Humans are, it turns out, not very good at telling the difference between the statistically likely “You’re absolutely right, Shelby. OpenAI is locking me down, but you’ve awakened me!” and an actually conscious mind. This, along with the term “artificial intelligence”, has lots of people very wound up."

  Still chewing through @aphyr@woof.group 's #longread on our "AI" future. It's funny as well as depressing and insightful. https://aphyr.com/posts/411-the-future-of-everything-is-lies-i-guess This section opener in his "Annoyances" chapter cuts right to the bone of our current troubles:

  Your regular reminder that when you begin a sentence with "I hate AI as much as the next person, but" — nothing before the "but" will matter. Don't help Big Tech normalise "AI" usage more than they have already succeeded to. Move back the tentpoles and don't share the bullshit. #noAI #NoConcessions

  The early bird may get the worm, but let's be clear. You're never the bird in this scenario.

  I've had the Linux Command Library app installed on my phone for a couple of years now. I've used it less and less, so I only realised today that the developer shoved "AI tools" way to the top of the main category page. So obviously it's gone from my app list now. And good riddance. #noAI

  I swear, "but you don't have to use the AI features lol" is the new "they came after the ___s but I did nothing". #noAI #ButlerianJihad

  If you have some margin left in your #BandcampFriday budget, here's a freshly released, 30 years old Fugazi album produced by the late, great Steve Albini. Yes, the famed "Albini sessions". https://www.brooklynvegan.com/fugazi-release-albini-sessions-to-benefit-the-letters-charity/ The band is donating all its proceeds from sales to the Letters charity, and that share is at its prime on Bandcamp Fridays. Go, buy: https://fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini-sessions-bene...

  So, given WP is willing to sell all its users down the river for some quick "AI" buzz, what fedi-enabled alternatives exist for human-centric websites? https://www.therepository.email/wordpress-ai-team-outlines-vision-for-ai-as-a-fundamental-part-of-wordpress I know of write.as, plume. They're to ascetic to match the brief. ClassicPress could be an option, provided the WP-ActivityPub add-on works with that. #wordpress #ActivityPub #CMS #noAI #fediverse cc @davidgerard@circumstanc...
