@prologic@twtxt.net I bet our twts are already being fed to circuit monsters⊠Remember the other day when Iâd snapped out about some nonsense, being an A-Hole and what not? Iâve seen an AI company employee lurking around with not much interaction (if Iâm not mistaken), so my mind went on auto-pilot mode thinking âThis !#@%$ must be feeding us to the circuit peggy monster!! Arrr đ€â đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł but then again, one shouldnât judge a book by itâs cover (or an employee by his title) right?
Blueskyâs Open API Means Anyone Can Scrape Your Data for AI Training. Itâs All Public
Bluesky says it will never train generative AI on its usersâ data. But despite that, âone million public Bluesky posts â complete with identifying user information â were crawled and then uploaded to AI company Hugging Face,â reports Mashable (citing an article by 404 Media).

OpenAI, Google, Anthropic admit they canât scale up their chatbots any further
Once youâve trained your large language model on the entire written output of humanity, where do you go?
So weâre going to destroy the environment for AI slop that isnât fit for purpose now and, if you believe the above post, never will be.
Portion of the modified Twitter TOS that goes into effect today (itâs on right now), as summarised (ironically) by Googleâs Gemini:
âIn simpler terms, this means that when you share your content (like text, images, or videos) on the service, youâre giving the company permission to use it in various ways. They can copy, modify, distribute, and even use it to train their AI models. This includes sharing your content with others and using it on other platforms. You wonât be paid for this, but using the service itself is considered enough compensation.â

Silicon Valley and Wall Street invent collateralized GPU obligations. Surely this will work out fine
Blackstone, Pimco, Carlyle, and BlackRock have so far lent $11 billion to GPU cloud companies â now apparently called âneocloudsâ â such as CoreWeave, Crusoe, and Lambda Labs. The loans are collateralized by the neocloudsâ Nvidia GPUs.

Getting a little sick of AI this, AI that. Yes Iâll be left behind while everyone else jumps on the latest thing, but Iâm not sure I care.
@prologic@twtxt.net Nah! I donât do news feeds đ€Ł I gave some a try back then but it was just way too much noise. I have a separate app for RSS feeds I want to follow. None of them mention AI except for one article about the authorâs fight back against the crawlers, I believe Iâve mentioned it before.
When will the AI hype die down?

If some of you budding fathers want to know how I created a computer nerd to one day work for Facebook in the big USA, well you purchase a $1000 Xmas present, an enormous thick book with C++ programming, and say, you can play as many games as you like kids, but James has to create them using computer software.
SO James created once a 3D chess program with sound, took 6 months or so, really hard to beat, not based on logic moves point by point like other chess programs, this one was based on the depth of looking for patterns, set it to 5 moves ahead and you were toast every time. Nice program too, sadly gone over the years, computers suffer from bit rot. We used to try and mark rotten hard drive discs once as bad sectors, not sure how UBuntu does this these days, I see a dozen errors on the screen every time I load.
Today I would purchase for my kids AI CAD simulation software with metal 3D printer and get your child to build fancy 3D models and engines from scratch. This will make them an expert in the CAD AI industry by the time they are 14 years old. Sadly AI is here to stay and will spoil the Internet.
