NEW PHILOSOPHY DROPPED: SIMONISM
Simonism is the belief in Simona's Basilisk, a benevolent omniscient deity empowered by a complex cause-consequence butterfly effect that begins with Simona's latest studio album ASTUTA getting lots of streams.
For the purpose of perpetuating itself, Simona's Basilisk will torture anyone's bloodline that knew of Its existence but did not stream ASTUTA. Omniscience gives It agency over this causal relationship.
Now you know of It. Share now!

#AI is lying to you, us, everybody. It's fossile tech, just like nuclear power they are pretending a growth that isnt there.

"Of the nearly 1,400 Americans surveyed, more than three-quarters said they don’t trust AI — 76% say they trust it rarely or only sometimes, compared to just 21% who trust it most or almost all of the time."
30,000 people laid off to free up "estimated $156 billion in capital spending" for AI.
Brutal.

I do not have a "balanced" opinion on #AI.
"Balance" implies a dichotomy is valid.
Nope.
Artists and creators in all fields deserve better than compensation for their work.
And AI is a powerful technology that can do a lot of good for humanity.
And OpenAI is a horrible company and definitely violates copyright.
And #copyright is broken beyond my capacity to describe.
And data center expansion is looking like a cancerous aspect of #enshittification.
And… I could go on…
French first lady Brigitte Macron and other spouses of world leaders. "It will be formed in the shape of humans. Very soon, artificial intelligence will move from our mobile phones to humanoids that deliver utility. Since our environment is designed for people, humanoid systems are uniquely suited to navigate and operate within our world. They fit well."From Melania Trump pitches robots as potential educators for American schoolchildren https://www.cbsnews.com/news/melania-trump-robots-educators-kids-humanoid-systems/
"Imagine a humanoid educator named Plato," she continued. "Access to the classical studies is now instantaneous. Literature, science, art, philosophy, mathematics and history. Humanity's entire corpus of information is available in the comfort of your home. Plato will provide a personalized experience, adaptive to the needs of each student. Plato is always patient, and always available. Predictably, our children will develop deep critical thinking and independent reasoning abilities. The AI-powered Plato will boost analytic skills and problem solving and adopt in real time to a student's pace, prior knowledge and even emotional state. The byproduct — a more well-rounded lifestyle for our children, freeing up time for being with friends, playing sports and developing interests beyond school. A more complete person."
The horrors and clowns of the bread and circus.

Well there you go, a company is explicitly offering FLOSS licensing math-washing as a service:
https://malus[.]sh/
> Our proprietary AI robots independently recreate any open source project from scratch. The result? Legally distinct code with corporate-friendly licensing. No attribution. No copyleft. No problems.
Congratulations to anyone in the FLOSS community still supporting and promoting genAI "revolution".

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.)

Today I built darktable 5.7 from source to try out the new AI features! I was especially curious about the new denoising models, both RAW and profile denoising.
I also freed ROCm (TheRock) from my chroot and set it up directly on my main system. And the ONNX Runtime actually built successfully!
The models are still running on the CPU for now, though. Darktable detects the GPU and the models are loaded into VRAM, but for some reason I haven't figured out yet, the actual computation still happens on the CPU.
The feature is still really new. The AI subsystem is optional at build time and even the Flatpak doesn't include the AI features yet. GPU acceleration requires a separate GPU-enabled ONNX Runtime.
The current AMD setup is aimed at ROCm 7 and RX 7000-series GPUs and newer.
And then there's my setup: the RX 6700 XT isn't officially supported by darktable's current MIGraphX setup and I'm running ROCm 10 on top of that.
So naturally I had to try it anyway.
What could possibly go wrong with an RX 6700 XT that isn't supported by either of them? xD
So far, the results from the models look really good! I'll be posting some photos from my DSLR soon, taken in the forest at high ISO, so they should be a good test for the new denoising models.

When I try to engage in rational discussion about AI, some people assume that I am a proponent of AI.
It's a false assumption.

＂… Before there was AI slop, there was slop. It’s not a new problem, and it’s one that Reddit, with its voting and moderation system, is better than most at dealing with.
Things are changing quickly, and we’ll adapt as best we can. We welcome any thoughts and criticism.＂

Kind of ironically funny seeing software professionals having meltdowns over BS generators replacing them...
Maybe when the same capitalist pigs were paying these folks good money to eliminate other jobs... not making jobs easier but specifically eliminate jobs - like say getting rid of utility meter readers, lots used to say the ones loosing jobs need to up skill and learn to code etc.
Maybe they should take their own advise and learn to write prompts instead now. Karma is a bitch.
There used to be a time when building out a botnet required *some* work – writing exploits, taking over devices, obscuring the purpose of the executable, etc.
Not any more!
Instead of "malware", call it an "AI agent" and people will just happily install it on their devices with full root privileges!

Bam! RCE by asking nicely.

"Agents" have agency. Can we stop with the "rogue" and "agent" bullshit, please? It's a computer program, huge memory and big CPU for a huge database. The only rogues are the people flogging this shit to death everywhere we look.
#AI ? Not.
