A good review of reasons insurance companies are pulling back from insuring companies that lean on generative AI. Point 4, "The main problem is not just the error, but the incentive not to see it" is especially damning: use of AI not only obscures audit trails, it sets up perverse incentives against accountability, pushing costs and risk to other parts of an organization, its customers, or society. The net result is that whatever "local" advantages AI may provide turn into downstream risk that cannot be easily accounted for. Insurance companies are (rightly) allergic to this state of affairs.

Another example of how (whole)-systems thinking is very helpful for parsing the effects of technology changes like this.

              One thing I thought were good for was translation. Apparently and others aren’t that great at that either.

              restricted contributors from a nonprofit called the Open Knowledge Association () after editors discovered -assisted translations added factual errors and incorrect citations.

              As predicted, humans will be relegated to cleaning up the mess LLMs leave behind, for salaries far below the value of full-time employment to do the job properly.

              […] Zimmerman added that if this method proves insufficient, OKA is considering introducing formal peer‑review mechanisms.

                            This should be obvious for everyone by now, but if you're not from US you must assume that all your use of US AI services (#ChatGPT, , etc) is fed directly to US intelligence services.

                            "We may share your Personal Data, including information about your interaction with our Services, with government authorities ... in compliance with the law (i)" (OpenAI)

                            "We may disclose personal data to governmental regulatory authorities as required by law" (Claude)

                            "We will share personal information outside of Google ... to: Respond to any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request" (Gemini)

                            The amount of valuable information fed to the systems voluntarily is staggering. It's not a matter of "if" it is happening, but "of course it is". It would be outright negligent if they weren’t capturing and disseminating it all.

Man könnte überlegen, die KI-Features abschaltbar zu machen. Vielleicht könnte ich auch auf dem Server ein eigenes Modell laufen lassen 🤔 Das kann ich immer noch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt einbauen, falls überhaupt Interesse an der Anwendung besteht. Hab das Ding hauptsächlich für mich selbst entwickelt und fand es bisher so gut gelungen, dass ich es auch anderen zur Verfügung stellen wollte. Vermutlich werde ich das eher als AppImage veröffentlichen, so einen Server dauerhaft zu betreiben trau ich mir vielleicht bei KI Code nicht ganz zu, aber zum testen reicht es erstmal. 😉

Given Google's CEO Sundar's enthusiastic embrace of the Fascist Trump administration and teaming Gemini with Hegseth's Department of Defense, I NO LONGER TRUST GOOGLE.

                                                                                                      Pay attention to this. Google -- as always -- says they do not give user data to law enforcement except with a valid warrant. This has long been true, but I no longer trust Google to honor this position. A quick call from Trump to Sundar could well be enough to bypass those past protections. Discussing an anti-Trump demonstration? Abortion? Helping local immigrants? You can no longer trust Google to not treat your data as fodder for fascist Trump, irrespective of Google's public statements.

                                                                                                      VERY IMPORTANT: It appears that if you have "Smart Features" enabled in Gmail -- which has long included a variety of features, you now probably (or soon will) also have Gemini scouring through your email. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND turning this off. Can we be sure Google will really honor this choice given their embrace of Trump? No, but it's important to have specified your choice on the record.

Something like 25% are completely wrong or totally miss the point. I have no idea how many responses there are that are actually wrong in some respect but I don't have the background knowledge to recognize any errors. USELESS.

It's a lightweight internet protocol between Gopher and the Web - no JavaScript, no cookies, no tracking, just text and links over TLS.

                                                                                                                                                  - FreeBSD 15.0 with securelevel 2
                                                                                                                                                  - Bastille jails for isolation (Caddy, Nginx, deployment gateway)
                                                                                                                                                  - PF firewall with strict NAT/RDR rules
                                                                                                                                                  - CI/CD via Forgejo Actions with rrsync-restricted deployments
                                                                                                                                                  - nullfs mounts for zero-copy file sharing between jails

                                                                                                                                                  The "transporter pattern" keeps the blog jail unexposed while enabling automated deploys. Jails remain the most elegant isolation mechanism around.
