genAI and email: the end of unfiltered communication Sensitive
At work we use MS Outlook for email. I have switched off all genAI / Copilot features, but Microsoft of course resets the system at every opportunity and the other day I had Copilot on against my wishes. I was busy and left it on whilst I dealt with some urgent emails. Jeez! The intrusive way in which the interface pushes the genAI features on you! Can't open someone's email without being steered by the system to have AI summarise it for you. It's barely a choice, more the default. I imagine many colleagues have it on all the time and use it when they get my carefully crafted messages. The times when you could assume that the recipient actually sees your text are gone. I know that people are bad at parsing emails, but thus far one could assume they _see_ the text and one could write to help them parse it reasonably well. Not any more. The times we live in. Martin Buber, we need you. #StopTheAICorruption #Outlook #email #noLLM

Wikipedia's new "no LLM" policy Sensitive
Good news, as of 27 March. (I had missed this when it came out.) Wikipedia content guidelines now prohibit the use of genAI tools, with two well-defined minor exceptions. An important step. quote "Text generated by large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, or Grammarly often violates several of Wikipedia's core content policies. For this reason, the use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited, save for [...] two exceptions." end-quote The two listed exceptions are (i) basic copyediting support, under human review, and (ii) translation into English. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_articles_with_large_language_models #noAI #noLLM #StopTheAICorruption #Wikipedia #WikipediaContentGuidelines #WikipediaNoLLM

When you drop the dependency on #chardet over the #AI #slop release… and replace it with your own slop. https://github.com/binaryornot/binaryornot/blob/main/CHANGELOG/v0.5.0.md #Python #LLM #NoAI #NoLLM

Inspector Lestrade did not try to hide his pride. "Charlotte, our new AI agent, really is the ticket. We gave her the data and she found the murderer within seconds. We have arrested Jones, the plumber. Not sure whether we will need your services much longer, Holmes," he laughed. "Charlotte does the work." Sherlock smiled drily. What can one do about someone like Lestrade, Watson, he said to me once we sat in the cab. Someone who can't think can't see the truth even when it stares them in the face. Jones would never have twisted the compression coupling counter-clockwise, he's a trained plumber, for Heaven's sake! It was Lord Jenkins who removed the pipe, ignorant of the nature of the fittings. Hence the scratch marks on the brass. Lestrade will call on us again by evening. It is Tuesday, Watson, I believe Mrs Hudson has some cake for us. We can keep some for Lestrade. #SherlockHolmes #InspectorLestrade #HolmesAndWatson #StopTheAICorruption #noLLM

Isn't it funny that we've moved from "you need special skills to be a programmer" to "everyone can learn to be a programmer", to "everyone can use an #LLM to be a programmer", and now because of all the deskilling we're going to circle back into "you need special skills to be a programmer". #AI #NoAI #NoLLM

Perhaps the main difference between myself and vibe coders is that we have completely different backgrounds. I've learned coding as a kid, with no friends and no Internet. I didn't do it because it was cool; nerdy stuff was the exact opposite of cool and was likely to get you bullied. I didn't do it because it promised good salary; as a 10-year old, I didn't ponder much about my future, let alone salary. I did it because I was bored, and it was something interesting to do. I didn't do specific exercises, but rather created whatever I've found interesting. I wasn't graded, I had all the time in the world, and I've enjoyed solving problems. Even if I had access to the Internet, I doubt I would start looking for ready solutions and copy-pasting them. My code was always mine, and I was proud of it; at least at the time. Of course, nowadays I do stuff I don't enjoy as well. But I'm a grown man who takes responsibility for what I do. And even if my code is shit, it is my shit, and 100% eco. #NoAI #NoLLM
