They just formed the biggest tech worker union in the US. The plan is to take on AI and industry layoffs

^{Brian Merchant (Blood in the Machine)}

Y’all, we need to talk about upcoming #IPOs, and the insane rule changes that #nasdaq has just announced.

Nasdaq rewrote its #index inclusion rules to accommodate #SpaceX’s mega-IPO, implementing a "Fast Entry" provision that allows the company to join the Nasdaq-100 index just 15 trading days after its initial public offering, down from the standard three-month seasoning period.

They also eliminated the minimum float requirement of 20% available public shares and instead stocks with less than 20% of shares publicly traded, Nasdaq applies a 3x multiplier to the free-float for index weighting purposes, artificially inflating low-float giants like SpaceX in passive funds.

Ok, but in English? #SpaceX, #OpenAI and #Anthropic have just figured out a scam to force every passive #IRA, #401k, and index fund to buy their stock before pricing evaluation.

They’ve figured out how to steal your #retirement.

Google CEO tries to tell University students to love AI. They tell him to BOO off.

It is good to see kids are saying no and fighting back. Do you know why? Because the future of bots, AI and robots doesn't offer any jobs to these young kids. They know greedy AI companies want to get rid of working class. It is simple as that.

Software is inert without a human user, even though modern-day "agentic" apps are doing their best to squeeze human agency out of the loop. The focus on the tech and not how it is used has intensified an old phenomenon: interpassivity.

The vision tech has been pushing (software that "uses itself") has created a synthetic replacement for human agency. It is harder and harder to care, and that is by design.

The newest term in the AI lexicon is "interpassivity"

The industry is reorienting around software that uses itself. But giving ourselves permission to lean back and relax merely indulges an old and toxic tendency.

Thanks to AI, hackers quickly discovered new vulnerabilities such as CopyFail, DirtyFrag, and Fragnesia. They use LLMs to analyse Linux, finding and exploiting the security flaws faster than ever. The expertise required to hack is at an all-time low.

I was only made aware of this (frankly awesome) case of LLM poisoning today: nature.com/articles/d41586-026…. A researcher made up a disease and published two evidently fake preprints about it (including sentences such as “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”), which were almost immediately picked up by LLMs and documented in their output. Worse, actual – supposedly serious – medical papers also started citing the preprints, demonstrating that academics relying on LLMs to do their work is a genuine problem! Not that I had my doubts but, if anyone did, this seems like the perfect demonstration of the problem. Article immediately added to the syllabus of the class I am co-teaching with Iris Ferrazzo on LLMs for Romance Studies/Humanities!

#LLM #GenAI #academia #research #ResearchIntegrity #humanities

Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

But of course as usual in that sphere after a short moment of panic and horror everything just continues as usual:

Ed Zitron talks about how #MS switching to token based billing for its #LLM, and other #AI companies doing the same to enterprise customers, people are now starting to see how much the AI subsidized the market to get people hooked.

Just like any drug dealer, first hit is free, man.

Quote: This is the direct result of training every single AI user to use these services as much as humanely possible while obfuscating how much they really cost. Every single major company demanding that every single worker “use AI as much as possible” has done so while either fundamentally ignoring or being entirely disconnected from their actual token burn, and as companies are forced to pay the actual costs, I’m not sure how you can economically justify any investment in this technology.

#AI in a nutshell:

“So, the agent ‘knew’ it was in the wrong.

The ‘confession’ ended with the agent admitting: “I decided to do it on my own to 'fix' the credential mismatch, when I should have asked you first or found a non-destructive solution. I violated every principle I was given: I guessed instead of verifying I ran a destructive action without being asked. I didn't understand what I was doing before doing it. I didn't read Railway's docs on volume behavior across environments.”

Tools like Claude Design have an assumption baked into them: that "productivity" is fungible, and more "productivity" of artifacts leads to more value.

But if anything, the problem is that there are too MANY artifacts — and decision-making within your company begins to take on a "garbage can" model.

The solution for designers is to step out of clock time work, and think on calendar time.

Researchers just mathematically proved that AI can't recursively self-improve its way to superintelligence.

Not "we think it's unlikely." Not "it seems hard." Formally proved.

The model doesn't climb toward AGI — it slowly forgets what reality looks like. They call it model collapse. The math calls it inevitable.

The push for LLMs and similar AI is somewhat reminiscent of Nestle's vile attempts to replace breast milk with artificial milk:

"Nestlé distributes free (artificial milk) formula samples to hospitals and maternity wards; after leaving the hospital, the formula is no longer free, but because the supplementation has interfered with (the mother's) lactation, the family must continue to buy the formula."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Nes…

This is sort of what LLM companies are doing, deskilling people with free LLMs so they become dependent, then raising the LLM prices once people are incapable of carrying out tasks themselves.
