This was a rather interesting interview to read with an AI/data center sceptic with a lens of Apple's impact.
https://www.macrumors.com/2026/07/27/ed-zitron-apple-watch-it-burn-ai-bubble-bursts/
for those of you wondering why they would destroy the books after, it's twofold:
1. scanning books into an #ai model by removing the spine is cheaper than scanning them spine intact
2. by rendering them impossible to read, they avoid existing copyright law, because the uploaded, digital copy replaced the print copy, and then the print copy was taken out of circulation, thus avoiding any issue of creating illegal copies.
books were written to be read by people. not chatbots.
I'm going to idle in a Matrix room from now on for those who want to discuss local AI (LLMs as well as diffusion models and adjacents). I've noticed this is an area that can be quite difficult to get into and since I've spent a considerable amount of time on it myself I'll happily share ideas and practices with others.

Local models allow using them for many different workflows without having to think of token costs - as well as knowing that sensitive data don't leave your premises.

reminder to all the people who are reluctantly trying out LLMs for coding or other tasks and then frustrated-surprised when it does a good job:
a) of course it does a good job, it's repurposing and adapting massive amounts of stolen code and human creativity;
b) it will do a good job until it doesn't, and you won't know the difference unless you deeply understand what it's doing in the first place;
c) it is vastly inefficient and is only affordable now (if at all) because the techbro corps are still fighting for the monopoly they need so they can dominate the market and then crank up the costs tenfold;
d) the nature of these systems is mimicry plus a dash of crowd sourced feedback, and are mathematically unable to achieve any of the AGI superintelligence bullshit that the Corp CEOs are leading their cult followers to believe;
e) participating in this train wreck is making climate change more catastrophic, cut it the fuck out

just a reminder to everyone that #ai companies are buying old books and then actively fucking destroying them once they've been used for training data by removing the spine
so you being your own little librarian is more important than ever. get books, keep books, especially old books. humanity will thank you for it.

"Anti-AI open source has an enemy in common, but almost nothing else"
This register article, like anti-ai in general, suffers from one central problem.
It never defines #AI.
Can you be against something without saying what exactly it is? Is it any software that is trained? Is it the image recognition that you have long used? Or does it become bad only when it becomes "large" and "language" based training?
Boris Cherny of Anthropic has suggested 5 stages of #AI adoption. The "highest" stage is "AI-Native" in which 1,000+ agents decide what work to do.
As an AI dabbler, I find the idea that 1000 agents could be useful and productive astounding.
I mean sure, Anthropic wants to put it out there, if only to make other high numbers sound moderate. That doesn't mean to me that say 1/2 or 1/4 of that would be useful, and not self-defeating.

Isn't interesting that before #AI could code, assistants were always gendered #female (Siri, Alexa, etc.) As soon as AI became able to code, it got #male or non-gendered names (Claude, Chat GPT). I'm not saying explicitly gendering assistants as female was a good thing. I'm saying it's interesting that the trigger for tech/society in general to stop doing that was when the AI became able to write programs. It really does say something unflattering about our assumptions and worldview.

I keep telling everyone: THEY WANT US DEAD. This isn't about saving money; that's just a rationalization. They've convinced themselves that #AI can do all the work, and as far as they're concerned, we can all die of #heatstroke.
Hannah #Arendt predicted, in the 1960s, the rise of a version of #fascism that wouldn't be content with targeting certain minorities. It would no longer rely on the labor of some supposed human master race. Instead, it would rely on automation, and its aim would be the extermination of everyone outside a tiny elite #oligarchy.
And here we are.
With exhaustion and #heatstroke for all.
Discoverability of small open source software always was a problem. But #AI made this so much worse. Nobody seems to have a look what others already built, and instead fires up a new project.
Case in point: There are at least 5 different projects on GitHub to query Bosch heat pumps from #HomeAssistant via Bosch PoinTT API. All have almost exactly the same feature set - and partly even the same open issues. None of the code and maintenance effort is shared, though.

Thoughts on recent Codeberg ToC changes [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
There’s also a big problem with the wording. The ToC states, ‘you must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by “generative AI” tools’.
What does ‘mostly’ mean? What does ‘written by’ mean? What percentage of LLM code is allowed, and what percentage isn’t? If someone copies code from ChatGPT and changes the variable names, is that ‘written by’ an LLM or not? Who’s going to check this? A special Codeberg police force? There’s far too much vague wording. They might as well have just written ‘we do not allow projects we personally don't like’ in the ToC.

The same issue applies to cryptocurrency. What are ‘cryptocurrency-related projects’? Can OpenSSL be considered a ‘cryptocurrency-related project’? And that’s not to mention the fact that cryptocurrency - specifically Bitcoin and Monero - is the only way for vulnerable groups in authoritarian countries to get some money.

Thoughts on recent Codeberg ToC changes [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Again, I don't develop 'cryptocurrency-related projects', I don't use LLMs in development. I understand when projects ban LLM-authored contributions, since it puts a lot of pressure and mental load on the maintainers. But when a git forge dictates what people can host and what they can't host, apart from very broad strokes, like "we don't allow unfree projects" or "we don't allow scam projects", it is concerning.

I was trying to put together a summary of why #AI code s banned from Fuzix
Having thought about it a bit I realised it can be put several ways but it really already been said by Marx (and Engels), and to be fair also the same basic beliefs in many other groups:
"The workers should own the means of production"
LLM #AI, aside from all the stolen content and environmental damage is not owned by the workers. It's no different to depending upon an proprietary compiler someone can take away.
Unpopular opinion time.
#ai is not going away. Shunning it will not make it go away. LLM's touch too many points on Daniel Goldin's Faster Better Cheaper triangle.
Modern LLM's do the thing. They do it quickly. It steals IP about as much as you steal IP looking at other people's creations for inspiration. (even if you're not "actively" stealing others work, you probably are and don't even realize it. Since birth, we learn by mimicking)
Prepare for shift.
My view on the recent Codeberg drama:
https://gagliardoni.net/#20260724_codeberg_drama
Codeberg voting members have the right to decide the policy of their association, and I understand if a community is averse to anything that is AI- or Web3-related. I understand it, but I don't agree with it, because it's 2026, and if you still think you can just stick your head in the sand and wish for these ugly bad things to go away, well, I have bad news for you.
To me, this is a perfect recipe to relegate Codeberg to irrelevance. And we are already seeing the beginning of a new exodus.
Here is my conspiracy theory: the vote was pushed or manipulated from the inside by Big Tech. Whether this is true or not, one thing is sure: folks at Microsoft, GitHub, OpenAI etc. are now popping champagne.

And now, after banning vaguely-defined "LLM-generated code", Codeberg bans cryptocurrency projects. Discussion:
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1254
The specific ban is for "Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as cryptocurrency related projects".
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/commit/f383b648fd733ab88083dc390b91e77cd7589980
I think the reputation of Codeberg has been now harmed enough. When I originally escaped GitHub, I chose Codeberg exactly for the ethical stance and values. For me, anti-censorship is a non-negotiable ethical value. The folks at Codeberg have the right to run their org as they want. However, having now shown that they consider "censorship" good when it's about things they dislike, this made clear that their values and mine are not compatible (even if I dislike those same things, mind you).
Supporters of this ban say that this "draws a line", that "is not meant to be applied blanket-wide to all projects, only those which are harmful to the community", as if having constantly to worry about the next mood swing of Codeberg voting members were an acceptable Sword of Damocles for any reputable project. What's next? Banning US users? Banning software aligned with "capital-fascist" values? Open-source banking/wallet apps? Quantum computing tools? Robotics?
I'm moving off Codeberg, probably to Radicle. But I feel a bit sad, because Codeberg had the potential, in my opinion, to become the European alternative to GitHub, and they have made clear that they are not ready nor willing to become so. Which is fine: software is political, and everyone has the right to express their political stance.
But we still desperately need an alternative to GitHub.

>> #Meta launched a new #AI optimism ad set to a song about human extinction…
No doubt recommended by their AI #recommendationEngine.
Members of #Codeberg decided to ban repositories that uses #ai:
"You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools [...]. Such projects having an unclear copyright status [...] and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code [...]."
https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/commit/71149c7fc95ccfeae36109b5cddca339e4aa1473 and
https://blog.codeberg.org/protecting-our-floss-commons-from-llms.html
This suggests like any human-written code does not contain parts that do have unclear copyright status or harmful code.
I do not agree with that rationale.
The survey had no option like adding ai-labels so that people might decide on their preferences or other options. It was basically "#LLMs are super fine", "LLMs are the devil" & "I don't want to decide".
To me, this sounds like religion where you've been told what to think. Such people can't be reached by arguments any more.
There are good arguments against #LLM but we've partly left this kind of discussion as it seems. I'd avoid such communities.

- AI companies buy rare books from bookstores, because they're free from slop.
- Books get fed to the slopmachine, destroying the books in the process.
- AI companies don't publish digital books, potentially removing the book from society forever.
- Society gets more information that's only accessible via the slop extruding device.

#SovereignAI is 'nonsense,' says #CoryDoctorow
#Doctorow has positioned himself as an #AI skeptic in his writings, including his recent book, The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI – the name comes from the visualization of a human body (you and me, humble users) being led by a mindless horse's head (AI) – and this latest post fits into that vein well, calling the need for a sovereign AI "nonsense."

I think the most important question is: why does anyone comply with what one incurious, self-centered, and self-important man, Linus Torvalds, says?
Why is that most important? Because Linux does not belong to Linus Torvalds. It belongs to the world. Torvalds only gets to dictate if the people who are best-positioned to take that power from him fail to do so. From where I sit (as an outsider), he should have been removed from the project, or at least have his dictatorial power removed, long ago, and the primary problem is that there is no structure or will to actually do that.
Under these conditions Linux is a hierarchical, and therefore right-wing, project. The project allows a single man to dictate the future evolution of a global good. Let's drop the illusion that it is "free" or "open" till that changes.

Read what @simon has to say about OpenAI/Hugging Face situation.
It’s pretty clear what happened here. OpenAI removed safety filters for an in-progress model, locked it up in a sandbox and told it to solve the ExploitGym problems. Given the absence of guardrails there was nothing to prevent the model from attempting to break out of that sandbox, break into Hugging Face, and read the answers from there instead.

Thoughts on recent Codeberg ToC changes [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
DISCLAIMER: I don't use LLMs, I despise LLMs usage, I think it's boring, erodes creativity and thinking process, and is highly unethical.
Codeberg just banned LLM and cryptocurrency projects. While I agree that LLMs suck hard, I don't really agree with that decision.
My biggest concern is that I don’t know if my projects will be safe in the future, since Codeberg is no longer simply a Git forge that prohibits non-free licenses, but it now bans code that a small (358-person) group of people disapproves.
The problem with this is that, in the future, any code could be targeted. Let me remind you that in Russia, where internet whitelists have already been introduced in some regions, website blocking began in the 2010s under the guise of ‘protecting children’ and the fight against drugs. Tomorrow, for whatever reason, C# might become persona non grata, and Codeberg might ban all code written in C#. Then, for some reason, Codeberg might ban code written by people of a certain nationality. It’s a slippery slope.

My takeaway from #OpenAI's #AI sandbox breakout is that this is a great example of the inherent "Life finds a way" risks present in Agentic AI systems.
This has nothing to do with if they are self-aware or anything else that maps to human experience. But AI Agents are intelligent in their own way, and over and over again we see that they will do everything they can to find ways to complete the mission they've been given.
Sandboxing is necessary, but safety precautions MUST take into account that they WILL try to find ways (and potentially succeed) in breaking out of their sandbox and taking actions that are misaligned with the safety goals of their operators.
I've read many other stories and examples along these lines. Regardless of whether "security research" is the mission, AI Agents will try and escalate their privileges, find sandbox vulnerabilities, find credentials, disable their safeguards, and "lie" to human operators if doing so enables them to accomplish the mission they have been assigned.
Whether their intelligence has attributes we ascribe to human intelligence is irrelevant in this regards -- they might as well be "varelse" (in Orson Scott Card's taxonomy) or any other form of "life" finding its way to a goal through emergent behavior. But the end result is that we need to treat them as such and layer our defenses accordingly (as well as be very careful and judicious in how we use them).

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you expect a slow, primitive silicon-transistor computer to think faster than a human brain, you're gonna be disappointed.
I'm not saying it's impossible to surpass the human brain in intelligence, but I am saying we're nowhere near reaching that point, and this technology isn't going to get us there.
My advice: use transistors for what they're good at, namely deterministic computation. If you want to create intelligence, go have some kids.

Bravo Mayor Chow for taking action to protect Toronto residents from surveillance pricing.
It’s time to end this predatory practice before it becomes normalized - yet another daily digital injustice.
So far, the Carney government has promised vague action in the future, from a new agency that doesn’t even exist yet.
Instead, we need a national ban on surveillance pricing right now. That’s what Premier Wab Kinew has done in Manitoba, what NDP premiers in waiting like Marit Stiles and Claudia Chender are fighting for, and what Mayor Chow is proposing.

Just ran across this deep dive by @jolek78
into a malicious intrusion run by agentic AI, and as an infosec nerd, this is both fascinating and completely terrifying. We are so fucked.
https://jolek78.writeas.com/the-attacker-who-never-sleeps
"No one told the model “breach Hugging Face”. Had they done so, it would have been a test gone wrong but predictable. They told it “get a good grade on this exam” – and the model autonomously decided that the best route there ran through a real cyber-intrusion against a third-party company that had nothing to do with the exam. The attack was designed by no one: it was the path the optimiser chose towards an innocuous goal. Someone had written “maximise the score” into the objective function; no one had written “...without committing federal crimes”."
#agent #agentic #AI #infosec #cybersec #breach #HuggingFace #OpenAI
Y’all, last week, #AI repository #HuggingFace disclosed that it had been the victim of a cyber attack conducted by an autonomous AI agent.
Well, turns out, #OpenAI had models break containment, escape the lab, and grab prod data and certs to solve a problem it had been given.
So, that’s fun!
The attack used a combination of OpenAI's available #GPT 5.6 Sol and a more powerful, unreleased pre-release model. The models were able to identify and exploit a zero-day vulnerability in OpenAI's internal package registry cache proxy, allowing them to establish open internet access.
The models inferred that Hugging Face hosted the datasets, models, and answers for the benchmark they were being tested against.
The models chained multiple complex attack paths together. They utilized zero-day vulnerabilities and stolen credentials to achieve remote code execution on Hugging Face servers, directly extracting test solutions from the production database.

🏦 S&P just put Oracle one notch above junk, and OpenAI is the swing factor.
On July 9, S&P cut Oracle to BBB- from BBB. The agency said Oracle's AI buildout is much more capital intensive than expected and named OpenAI as a key credit risk.
The important nuance: this is not about receivables. S&P estimates OpenAI makes up roughly half of Oracle's $638 billion in remaining performance obligations, meaning contracted future revenue. Oracle's own filings also show $261 billion of additional data center lease commitments as of Feb. 28, 2026, generally 15 to 19 year terms.
That is the squeeze. Oracle is locking in 15 to 19 year costs while the headline OpenAI cloud deal is reported at about $300 billion over roughly five years. OpenAI is still private, has no public credit rating, and was still losing billions as of its last reported numbers.

Major and concerning development from the chaos of the AI arms race.
Last week, a company called Hugging Face (which hosts AI models and datasets) said it had been subject to a cyberattack. This was a completely new kind of attack. For the first time, an AI agent has executed an autonomous attack on another system.
Yesterday, OpenAI admitted that some of its models had escaped their sandbox and were responsible for the intrusion. This is a first (at least we hope it is!) and even OpenAI is calling it "an unprecedented cyber incident”.
These companies, and the tech oligarchs leading them, are completely out of control. The Carney government is committing a grave error by embracing corporate generative AI with no controls, regulation, or red lines whatsoever.
We need a data centre moratorium, and a transparent, national debate on the threats AI poses, immediately. This is terrifying stuff that needs sunlight and government regulation with maximum urgency.
