This #genai #llm #tokenCost is getting silly. Can't wait for the bubble to burst.

@kagihq@mastodon.social I haven't cancelled, but I've got to admit that I came close when I realized that you were sending every search ending in a question mark straight to Google. Now I just avoid using your AI features as the main reason I started subscribing was to get decent search without being surveilled by the likes of Google. I'll admit though, that the first competitor to come along providing even a vaguely similar service without Google / Yandex involved will immediately take my current Kagi subscription. So much of what you do is so promising, and then you undermine it by sharing data with the exact companies we're trying to get away from. Yes it may be more anonymous, but I'm still training Google against my wishes. #Kagi #Google #Alphabet #AI #GenAI #Privacy #Surveillance

So, more #genAI pain. By and large, the bubble's a bubble because the number of people out there in the business community who like it enough to be willing to pay for zillions of tokens, in aggregate trillions of dollars, is pretty small despite frantic pushing, and thus eventually it all pops. There is an exception…

The software-dev community is many orders of magnitude too small to keep the bubble inflated. And in fact #genAI works way better on code than on actual human language. Because the vocabulary is so much smaller and “doing the same as everyone else already has” is actually a good engineering practice. So…

So those of you who are burning millions of tokens on Claude Code should probably be aware that you’re one of the few remaining forces inflating the bubble. Whatever, it’ll pop anyhow, the #genAI space will become a tiny, mostly open-source, fraction of what it is today, and at that point. we devs can use it without feeling guilty.

Most text-to-speech tools fall into two camps. The ones that sound good need serious hardware. The ones that run on anything sound robotic. MOSS-TTS-Nano is trying to be neither. It’s a 100M parameter model that runs on a regular CPU and it actually sounds good. Good enough that the team behind it built an entire family of speech models around the same core technology, one of which has gone head to head with Gemini 2.5 Pro and ElevenLabs https://firethering.com/moss-tts-nano-open-source-tts/ #technews #ai #tts #llm #genai

:space_exp_artemis: 🚀 We just sent a team of humans to the moon and safely home. Not one bit of generative AI was used or needed. You don't need it in your office or organization, either. We can do great things without pillaging public resources and funds for a scam. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #NASA #Artemis #moon #genAI #generativeAI #slop

LLMs can get "brain rot"! An experiment was done where LLMs were trained on "brain rot" data, and it degraded their reasoning abilities. Subsequent training on high-quality data didn't entirely reverse the brain rot. https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.13928 #solidstatelife #ai #genai #llms #brainrot

The proliferation of generative AI models threatens the fundamental nature of authorship and the very fabric of human expression.

On surullista nähdä, kuinka avoimen lähdekoodin projektit täyttyvät GenAI:lla luoduista muutospyynnöistä ja kuinka projektien ylläpitäjät alkavat romahdella sen kuorman alla. Ei riitä, että koodimuutokset on generoitu AI:lla. Muutoksia myös etsitään niiden avulla. Koko koodipohja syötetään GenAI-työkalulle, joka generoi sen pohjalta 20 muutospyyntöä. Lopputuloksen tarkastaminen sysätään projektin ylläpitäjän vastuulle. Avoin lähdekoodi ja sen ympärille muodostunut yhteisö on selvinnyt vuosikymmeniä monenlaisista haasteista, mutta en tiedä kuinka se selviää siitä, jos generoitujen muutospyyntöjen määrä räjähtää käsiin. Itselleni avoimen lähdekoodin ytimessä on ihminen. Ihminen laittaa hyvän kiertämään, jotta muut ihmiset voisivat nauttia ja hyötyä siitä hyvästä. Se on yhdessä tekemistä. Se on kokemusten ja taitojen jakamista. Olen harmitellut sitä, kuinka vähän avoimen lähdekoodin periaatteita on hyödynnetty muissa yhteisöissä. Olen samaan aikaan ollut ylpeä siitä, että tällainen yhteisö on muodostunut nimenomaan koodin ympärille. Nörteillä on ollut iso halu hyödyntää taitojaan jonkin suuremman hyvän puolesta. Kun tutustuin 90-luvulla avoimen lähdekoodin ajatukseen, se tuntui heti omalta. Nyt huomaan, että mitä enemmän ihmistä korvataan GenAI:lla, sitä vähemmän minua kiinnosaa olla mukana avoimen lähdekoodin maailmassa 😔 #GenAI #AvoinLähdekoodi

Bernie nails the real challenge with #genAI. “AI and robotics are neither good nor bad,” he said. “The question is: will a handful of billionaires benefit from it, or will the general public benefit? #oligarchy #wealth #power #ai https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/21/ai-revolution-bernie-sanders-warning?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

I've been thinking about this quote a lot. In the context of #genai but also just in the general context of modern society. The last line is how I feel about sooo many things. "On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." — Charles Babbage

Hey Guys, gals, people and pets, Satya Nadella is getting tired of people calling AI Slop output AI Slop. If everyone can stop that's be great as it is upsetting Microslops share holders. Don't start calling Microslop Microslop or use the #microslop tag as it might burst the AI bubble and then Microslop might have to take SlopPilot out of Windows. As you know, that would be terrible. https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/microslop-trends-on-social-media-backlash-to-microsofts-on-going-ai-obsession-continues #microslop #microsoft #copilot #sloppilot #AI #genAI #AISlop #AIBubble

A good piece on how GenAI is flooding the field. I too have worked with ML for a while and feel similarly. "Having done my PhD on AI language generation (long considered niche), I was thrilled we had come this far. But the awe I felt was rivaled by my growing rage at the flood of media takes and self-appointed experts insisting that generative AI could do things it simply can’t, and warning that anyone who didn’t adopt it would be left behind." https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/15/1129179/generative-ai-hype-distracts-us-from-ais-more-important-breakthroughs/ #AI #GenAI #ML #CompSci
