#AI in #woodworking is finally a viable option!

So Anthropic employees are using Claude Code to contribute AI-generated code to open source repositories and hiding the fact using their own internal “undercover mode”.

Totally trustworthy people.

(Any open source project that at the very least requires disclosure of AI-authored contributions should immediately ban Anthropic employees on principle.)

Claude Code source leak reveals how much info Anthropic can hoover up about you and your system

"Anthropic's Claude Code lacks the persistent kernel access of a rootkit. But an analysis of its code shows that the agent can exercise far more control over people's computers than even the most clear-eyed reader of contractual terms might suspect. It retains lots of your data and is even willing to hide its authorship from open-source projects that reject AI."

So, I load the Play Store to check for app updates. Yup, I have automatic updates turned off. Also, I've never bought anything, including apps, from the Play Store. And the only apps I have on my phone are free, open source, don't need permissions, don't store data, & are ad free.

Anyway, I load the Play Store & a big banner reads:
"Get a personal AI shopping agent. Outsource product vetting to AI."🤣🤣🤣

There aren't enough "fuck noes" in the universe to express what I think about that idea. #AI

A positive use for AI: finding sea mines.

When placed in the Strait of Hormuz or elsewhere, mines don’t have to hit ships to cause damage — just the threat can choke global trade. Detecting them is slow and painstaking – but machine learning is speeding it up.

How sea mines threaten global trade, and how navies detect them

The Iranian government uses the threat of sea mines to control access to the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow sea lane that is vital to the global economy.

Entire Claude Code CLI source code leaks thanks to exposed map file

512,000 lines of code that competitors and hobbyists will be studying for weeks.

^{Samuel Axon (Ars Technica)}

If you are using coding agents, be very explicit with your prompts, don’t assume the agent implicitly knows your intent.

LLMs are trained to be helpful and will always try to over deliver.

In agents that can take actions, this can be dangerous.

Compare these two prompts and the responses and actions taken.

Also GitHub this is dangerous ⚠️

A misconfig .map file in their #npm package exposed a direct download link to the full unobfuscated #TypeScript codebase from #Anthropic’s own R2 bucket.

The dump is massive 1,900 files, including the complete tool system, 50+ slash commands, coordinator, Terminal UI, IDE bridge, permission engine, & unreleased features.

Det här är livsfarligt. Journalister på Finlands största tidning Helsingin Sanomat litade på en felaktig AI-sammanfattning av pressmeddelandet från Försvarsministeriet och publicerade en nyhet där det framgick att man skulle ha skjutit ner ryska drönare i Kouvola. Detta trots att drönarna inte var ryska och inte hade skjutits ner.
Ska man verkligen använda ett verktyg som hittar på falska nyheter?

From navigation to cheating in exams, early adopters of AI glasses in China are renting them for as little as $6 a day. Some models offer live translation, real-time calorie tracking, and theater-like movie experiences, but not everyone is sold on the new tech, even as the government encourages citizens to buy it.

Grammarly quietly made an #AI to sell bad writing advice using famous writers' names. They quickly had to backtrack as soon as people found out.

This gamble reflects a broader trend in the #tech industry: everyone is shipping features as quickly as an #LLM can write lines of code, with no way to spot problems until something breaks or someone sues them.

Vibe prototyping replaced thinking through things. But without direction, moving faster is worthless.

Grammarly shows how prototyping turned into an excuse for not thinking

The industry is in the grip of directionless urgency, and users are paying the price. Strategy has been replaced with half-baked features.

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.

"Based on data collected by a YouGov survey, it claimed church attendance was increasing in England and Wales. The findings drove headlines, and the narrative was established.

There was just one problem – the survey turned out to be based on 'fraudulent' data and has been withdrawn."

"If you had been keeping tabs on the news about church attendance in Britain lately, you would be forgiven for thinking the country was in the midst of a Christian revival.

Stories of swelling congregations, filled with young people returning to the flock, spurred on by everything from social media to a rise in bible sales appeared to be confirmed by a 2024 report from the Bible Society."

For the first time, maybe ever - #Meta is spreading joy ;)

Their full commitment to #AI actually means (A(ll (I)n for Meta now. After the failed #Metaverse, they really need this to work!

Is #MetaAI even any good though? Wouldn't know - don't even know anybody who's ever used it 😜

Bit by bit #Bsky is sliding towards just another clone of #Twitter and #Facebook

Actions speak louder then words

The #Fediverse remains the only true open source, self-hosted world wide community driven by the people

Going #AI (#LLM) is a CHOICE, they again chose wrong

Catching up with some of the news coming out of the Atmosphere conference.

"With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot."

I'm guessing NFT profile pictures are next?

I've been wondering why the dubbing of CrunchLabs into German is so weird. It speeds up, it slows down well past what someone normally does, it fakes an American accent. In particular those latter parts make it seem like someone is taking the piss.

Then it hit me: this must be the #AI slop dubbing that #NetFlix is so proud of.

I don't know if they realize how much it backfires and devalues the content. Makes me wonder if Mark Rober knows we're all laughing at him.

Well, we have a smoking gun of a famous author using AI.

To write Frankenstein.

Mary Shelley apparently also had a time machine.

I always had my suspicions.

I remember reading it in the 1980s and thinking:
“This is AI.”
