There article mentions "AI griefbot" and I guess it's the most apt label we can have for these Black Mirror digital doppelgangers.

Hot take:
Human-written tests > No tests > AI-generated tests.
I think I prefer no tests to extremely complex, verbose and unmaintainable test code that just perfectly contorts around a code base and its defects.
We would like to endorse what @kuketzblog writes about the inclusion of an “AI assistant” into an instant messenger that is still widely used:
It is unfortunate that many journalists do not realise how dangerous the new AI in WhatsApp really is. Der Spiegel, for example, writes in a recent article: “Meta AI does not have access to users' private chats, however, thanks to end-to-end encryption.” As a matter of fact, the AI does have access as it is used in the context of private chats or group chats. Sadly, this misinformation lulls users into a false sense of security.

One fun thing about The Industry is that the same people are writing "AI is bad" and "here's how to use AI" content.
What's likelier: that you happened upon the one secret ethical and effective AI use case, or that it's easier to ignore harms when you're the one doing them?
every time I look at my profile pic, I like it less. I made it with generative AI a while ago and at first, I was happy to have what I had in my mind exist in reality but now I see all the little imperfections (and the vapid perfections as well) of an image devoid of soul or style so I decided to hit someone up on fiverr to make a new profile pic for me (this time without genAI). it might be a silly thing to spend money on but at least then every time I look at it, I can remember the artist that got a few bucks rather than the megacorp that drains the oceans and loots the whole of humanity's creativity to serve their greed.
“While more than half of teachers indicate their school has a policy ab whether #GenAI is allowed, detailed guidance on applying AI in the classroom is lacking. For example, only 25% of teachers have received guidance ab how to address student AI use when it’s applied in ways that aren’t permitted.”
A colleague from the UK and I bring in our two cents on a highly divisive issue, written from the perspective of CHIs and research libraries.

65% of Wikimedia's most expensive traffic comes from bots.
"Since January 2024, we have seen the bandwidth used for downloading multimedia content grow by 50%. This increase is not coming from human readers, but largely from automated programs that scrape the Wikimedia Commons image catalog of openly licensed images to feed images to AI models."

Welcome to this month's meetup on Tuesday 15th April 2025 at Reaktor!
Talks:
@maaretp - Exploratory Unit Testing with and for GenAI

And the famous HelPy quiz!

See you there!
@skribe Conversely, the cost of printing, distribution, and storage puts up a barrier to spamming people on other continents with mass quantities of low value slop.
Just think through the logistics of a hostile Eurasian state sending a mass quantity of printed materials to Australia or North America.
Or, for that matter, a hostile North American state sending a mass quantity of printed materials to Europe or Asia.
You would either need:–
a) At least one printing press on each continent;
b) You could try shipping the magazines, but they'd be a month out of date when they arrive; or
c) You could try flying them overseas, but that would be very expensive very quickly.
That's before you worry about things like delivery drivers (or postage), and warehouses.
These are less of an issue for books than they are for newspapers or magazines.
And if a particular newspaper or magazine is known to be reliable, written by humans, researched offline, and the articles are not available online, then there's potentially value in people buying a physical copy.

Here's how AI is transforming finance, according to CFOs https://buff.ly/z6abPJU
"AI is rapidly reshaping the role of chief financial officers (CFOs), offering unprecedented opportunities in automation, data analytics and risk management."
Testing, testing. Any #monsterprom fans here? You know, this silly #visualnovel #datingsim game of cute/hot/quirky humanoid monsters? The one whose sequel, Monster Camp, has jokes about #genai ? Been fan since 2019.
