This is how to disable the new “AI” chatbot in #Firefox:
about:config
into the awesome barbrowser.ml.chat.enabled
setting and set it to false
In the #Librewolf fork, a thoughtful person has already done this for you.

We would like to endorse what @kuketzblog writes about the inclusion of an “AI assistant” into an instant messenger that is still widely used:
It is unfortunate that many journalists do not realise how dangerous the new AI in WhatsApp really is. Der Spiegel, for example, writes in a recent article: “Meta AI does not have access to users' private chats, however, thanks to end-to-end encryption.” As a matter of fact, the AI does have access as it is used in the context of private chats or group chats. Sadly, this misinformation lulls users into a false sense of security.

One fun thing about The Industry is that the same people are writing "AI is bad" and "here's how to use AI" content.
What's likelier: that you happened upon the one secret ethical and effective AI use case, or that it's easier to ignore harms when you're the one doing them?
65% of Wikimedia's most expensive traffic comes from bots.
"Since January 2024, we have seen the bandwidth used for downloading multimedia content grow by 50%. This increase is not coming from human readers, but largely from automated programs that scrape the Wikimedia Commons image catalog of openly licensed images to feed images to AI models."

My partner had not heard of the term vibe coding, and their guess was: coding, while drinking mate and listening to drum and bass. And, TBH, that is the "vibe coding" we really need.
On Tuesday, I gave a lecture on harms of AI and NLP. Turns out, the ChatGPT update the same day started a viral wave of Ghibli style image gen.
Worth seeing Miyazaki's response if you haven't. It is absolutely brutal: https://youtu.be/ngZ0K3lWKRc
We discussed: Can generative models be used to make art? What is the role of intent? Why are we using gen AI models and should we?

@PCMag It's not just him who isn't happy about it, us real human beings don't like it either.
Slop Hustlers can fuck off.
@utzer LLMs sind aber genau wie der Rest vom Internet voller Spam und anderen minderwertigen Inhalten. Du siehst nur nicht mehr, woher das #LLM seine Inhalte hat, weil alles durch den #GenAI-Wolf gedreht wurde. #Quellenkritik ist damit nicht mehr möglich. Dann hilft auch #Medienkompetenz nicht mehr.

Die KI-Oma „#Daisy“ von #O2 wehrt sich gegen #Telefonbetrüger: Mit einer charmanten, „unbeholfenen“ Art verwickelt die #KI die betrügerischen #Anrufer in endlose #Gespräche und raubt ihnen wertvolle Zeit. #Betrüger werden so blockiert, während #Kunden geschützt bleiben. Ein cleverer Einsatz von #GenAI mit viel Potenzial für Nachahmer!

I’m a paying customer of 404 Media, but I can’t bring myself to read more than the first couple of sentences of their recent “AI Slop” and “Brainrot” stories: https://www.404media.co/tag/ai/
It is beyond belief how terrible people can be. And how eager Big Tech is to facilitate them.
Very hard to avoid burn-it-all-down-and-sow-the-ruins-with-salt thinking.

Very much like the idea behind A.A.I. System’s Negative: that of an ‘alternative mode of producing artworks: through crowdsourcing, collective intelligence, and nonhuman intelligence, as opposed to individualism of a single author’.
OK, so, if we can have artificial artificial intelligence, can we have artificial intelligence intelligence?
Cripes. This is garbage. What would be actually worth reading is an article with "this one weird trick" that will prevent me from ever seeing any generative AI images for the rest of my life. Or this one weird trick that will chew through and lay waste to GenAI tools. #AI #GenAI https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-use-apples-image-playground-to-generate-ai-art
If your books have been stolen by Meta to train their GenAI machine, The Authors Guild has concrete steps for you to take today; also important to know that if your work was stolen, you are automatically part of the Kadrey v Meta class action in California:
ETA: I am told this only applies to U.S. authors/U.S. copyright holders.

See, I like the look of this for the unacceptable (to them) extra work it puts on scrapers, forcing them to consider skipping you, but... I still prefer options that fill their training data with garbage, and actually damage bad actors products rather than just slowing them down. For example:
@romancelandia @bookstodon #Romancelandia #IndieAuthors
You can now search to find out which of your books, short stories, articles, etc. have been stolen by Meta/Facebook.
Most authors I know have had *their entire backlist* stolen.
