I thought this was a particularly good analysis of the problem of using LLMs for science. It explores the purpose of science, the perverse incentives that drive people to use LLMs, and the impact this has on skill building and training future scientists.
My lab group has been struggling with this topic lately, without much consensus. This blog post captures a lot of our thinking, and very clearly made some good points that we appreciated. It mostly just describes the mess we're in without offering much useful advice, but just laying out the problems do nicely is helpful. That said, I do worry the author may be underestimating the impact these tools might have on experienced researchers.

This same discussion is raging across the entire planet. Yet the 'yes I like it / no I hate it' back & forth isn't very interesting and fruitful. Turning thoughful debate into heated shouting matches.
Instead ponder the technology as-is. Adopt a more strategical, but also philosophical and psychological viewpoint, shift perspective. We need calm environments to analyse what all this means for our #future. Deal with utterly disruptive technology that is *already* dumped right in the midst of us. Much more to come.
Solution orientation is needed to tackle this huge #challenge. I consider LLM's inhumane tech, immoral and unethically introduced. Corporate capture of all human knowledge for pure commercial gain. Greed, vanity, power of the #EpsteinClass. Enormous resource use. Looming AI #dystopia. Hallmarks of #hypercapitalism.
What risks does #humanity face? How can we protect our #freedom? Can we tackle wicked problems?

There is bad faith on both sides of the argument
The WAAAAH DATACENTRES mob conveniently ignores the current data centres ~50% of which are iclouds, AWS, dropbox, office365 and yes, mastodon, same issues, but oh these are the "good" data centres 🙄
Also while growth projection are nasty...model distilation and algo improvement MAY reduce the load significantly. Tech improves. Have you tested the water pressure tank on your steam car?
Its a safety issue.
Placing AI Data centres in orbit removes the heat, carbon and energy issue, but forest folk aren't happy about that either (Not a big fan of that either but for different reasons than you)
There is a small test inference engine up there already since December BTW.
Copyright and artist exploitation?
Oh yes, did you delete you pirated MP3 and MP4s? 🙄 Same folks who 4 years ago were chanting "Information wants to be free" are now guardians of corporate copyright.
So, yeah.

There are so, so many reasons why we cannot trust the #LLM hype. And a major one is that tech companies spend billions into keeping the hype going. If their products were really that great, then they wouldn't _need_ tho spend that much money on hyping their products.
I mean, consider battery systems, which are clearly more important to the world economy and human civilization as a whole. When was the last time you have seen an ad for _them"?

Regarding welcoming the AI proponents to the Fediverse.
Fuck that shit. You can try. You can create an account, no one will deny you that right.
Whether you get to keep that account is entirely up to you. You will either draw the ire of your instance's admin(s) and find yourself banned. Or, you will find your engagement limited to other AI fanatics only, because the rest of us muted or blocked you.
You are free to say your piece, but we don't have to listen to you.
Personally? I believe AI proponents are fucking idiots, and I am generally not a fan of speaking with fucking idiots. I aggressively block people on the subject.
My advice? Go back to Twitter. You won't find many friends here.
What appears as critique – yearning for smaller, weirder, more human spaces – often functions as brand repair. Netstalgia becomes a strategy: it restores trust without redistributing power, softens anger without changing infrastructures and reframes structural problems as matters of vibe, design or community feeling."Am I working on change, or am I working on brand repair?" is an important question to ask oneself regularly, it seems to me. It's especially relevant for the tech sector, open source, and computer science.

A recent Axios story on maternal health policy referenced "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. On the surface, there's nothing unusual about that. What wasn't originally mentioned, however, was that these findings were made up.
Clicking through the links revealed (as did a subsequent editor's note and clarification by Axios) that the public opinion poll was a computer simulation run by the artificial intelligence start-up Aaru. No people were involved in the creation of these opinions.
The practice Aaru used is called silicon sampling, and it's suddenly everywhere. The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing. Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use A.I. agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.
I really want to know what the c-suite folks in the software and tech industries are planning to do when their engineers have relied on LLMs for so long they can no longer support their systems without out them, and the LLM providers jack up their costs 20x or more to get their ROI on all the datacenters

A large international study coordinated by the #EBU and led by the #BBC found that AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time across different languages and platforms, with #Gemini performing the worst.
[…] Key findings:
• 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
• 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
• 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
• Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.
• Comparison between the BBC’s results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.

Uncomfortable questions..
- To what extent is #FOSS complicit to the rise of #BigTech?
- To what extent is FOSS complicit to disruptive #AI craze we face today?
- To what extent are vibe coding #LLM even possible without FOSS?
"BUT.. BUT.. The License!"
- To what extent does slapping on a license free us from responsibility, knowing that it hardly offers protection from abuse?
- To what extent did FOSS too just introduce the tech and damn the externalities?
- To what extent is FOSS complicit to the current state of the world?
- To what extent is it enough to consider FOSS to be "imbibed by good morals and values" if we can't defend those?

How About Some AI With Your Bluesky?
A tale of two social networks.
Last week some enterprising Mastodon account was discovered to be scraping posts to feed to an AI for the purpose of helping people navigate the Fediverse. The response was swift. The alarm went out. The account was widely blocked and shunned.
Yesterday to great fanfare #Bluesky announced, as a new corporate feature, all posts would be scraped and an AI would now help users navigate the ATmosphere.

I've been using a digital camera for many years and as a result have a lot of photographs.
How many is a lot?
$ ls -1R Pictures/ | wc -l
53190
Yeah, lots.
Despite having spent lots of time trying to create meaningful directory names it's still not easy to always find a photo I'm looking for.
What would actually be a USEFUL tool for AI would be something that I could run locally which could examine each of my photos and build some kind of free-text database of their contents which I can then grep.
But as far as I can tell nothing along those lines exists. Why have AI tools spent so much time trying to create faked photos and not producing something actually valuable?

Skill up with this LLM and Agentic AI-focused bundle of eBooks! 🤖🆙
@dvl Ah, then I misunderstood your toot — English is not my first language.
#Slopware is a term for software made with use of LLM(s). And I'm trying to avoid possible decline in quality of such software — while it may be without critical bugs in the next releases, I'm afraid of stupidly stupid bugs which will broke my habits and routines in the future. Because I already saw decline in quality like this with Windows 11 updates, or with Cloudflare outages, caused by "AI" "programming".
But the main problem for me lies not in the future bugs — people could make dangerous bugs too. The much more important thing for me — the intent of programmer who made some changes. If programmer make something fully with it's own mind — then I presume that this programmer had some fun from making things and I fully understand this intent: "have fun and make something useful meanwhile".
But, if programmer used #LLM while making a commits to #opensource program — I become extremely suspicious — why it was done this way? Programmer doesn't care about modified software? Or programmer is a "passer-by commiter" and don't want to look into the codebase at a necessary level? Or mentality "move fast and break things" deeply rooted in his mind? All of these are precursors for badly made software with bad UI and UX, as I think.
Obviously I'm a big fan of "move slow and make things" mentality and don't like programs made with "make fast and break things" mentality, which is the main reason to use LLMs in programming, as I see (e.g. in corporate world)
It seems hard to escape the AI virus. It's also infecting the open source world…

Didn't read the news for a week (bc I was returned to office and prefer to sleep more) and reading it now:
— Vim became a LLM slop
— ntfy is a LLM slop now
— systemd is a LLM slop too
What a time to be asleep^Walive
Looks like my passion to the old and simple solutions made a good thing for me. Time to throw the fuck away the ntfy from my server and use SMTP or XMPP for sending alerts to me.
P.S. Hope, the #Emacs itself willn't become a LLM slop oneday. Replacing it will not be so easy as with ntfy replacement.
