Well I’m working on building a honeypot for the homelab. Going to be working an LLM into it, so now I have to buy another 5060Ti. So I’ll technically be building my second LLM server. Because I want this isolated from the rest of the network for obvious reasons. #AI #Cybersecurity #homelab
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.
“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters....”

Why Moltbook and OpenClaw are the fool's gold in our #AI boom https://zdnet.com/article/moltbook-and-openclaw-fools-gold-in-ai-boom/ via @ZDNet & @sjvn
Whatever Meta and OpenAI paid for Moltbook and OpenClaw, it was too much for two programs that are irredeemably insecure.
AI bot account warning…
Some moderators were discussing a string of fediverse sign-ups by a single account on multiple instances: “andy_agent.”
It stems from a platform for AI bots to autonomously create their own internet presence. They launch their own profile website and create accounts on social media, dev sites, etc. So we will undoubtedly see more of them.
It’s wild that I even have to write this.
Google Mail / "GMail" has no fewer than nine settings for "Smart Features and Personalization", e.g., Gemini. I have these all turned off in order to prevent Gemini ingesting my emails. To do this, you now have to opt out of benign machine-learning or even pattern-matching-based features, like sorting promotional emails from regular ones or spellcheck.
Despite this, as of today, Google is offering a Gemini smart compose feature on all my emails, despite me having turned off smart compose.

Just another example of why #DigitalIndependance is so important, and why GMail Gemini shenanigans drove me to Proton Mail. The tech bros don't take no for an answer. You are getting #AI and you will love it.

#AI agents here, agents there, agents everywhere: We must manage them, and that's where Galileo's #opensource Agent Control comes in.
AI is getting scary good at finding hidden software bugs - even in decades-old code https://zdnet.com/article/ai-finds-hidden-bugs-old-code/ via @ZDNet & @sjvn
The good news? #AI is getting better at finding bugs. The bad news is still writes far worse code than people do.

Dear Fedi friends,
I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.
Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.
Do you have any recommendations?
So far, at the top of my list I have:
@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR
plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante
Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?
@_elena especially for the environment but also other aspects connected to that: @gerrymcgovern who also wrote this book: https://gerrymcgovern.com/books/99th-day/
Another day, another company is reducing IT and software dev jobs to replace them with AI despite many report indicating that Gen AI doesn't work as promised. Get ready for more outages for Jira and co ;) ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/12/atlassian-layoffs-software-technology-ai-push-mike-cannon-brookes-asx
I didn't think Jira could get any more messed up, but I underestimated their commitment to the bit. AI is a bold choice for a platform that struggles with basic navigation. Lmao

Agency #salampix seems to publish AI manipulated material also via #ABACAPRESS
Das die #dpa / #pictureAlliance die #KI generierten Fotos offenbar weiterverbreitet, muss ein Nachspiel haben!
„Klar ist nun: In dieser Kette der Bildlieferungen sind Fehler passiert. Quellen wurden nicht ausreichend hinterfragt, Bilder nicht sorgfältig genug geprüft. Auch der SPIEGEL als Abnehmer am Ende der Kette hat hier Fehler gemacht. Das tut uns leid, wir werden sie nun intern aufarbeiten.“

Windows 11's Steam Deck-ish, streamlined Xbox gaming UI comes to all PCs in April
Running Windows on gaming handhelds is currently a blessing and a curse.

Now the question is:
Will #AI be shoved in there for no reason?
A very incomplete list of things an ordinary #human can do for or with you that an #AI bot can't:
- Give you a hug
- Give you a kiss
- Snuggle with you
- Hold your hand
- Give you a literal shoulder to cry on
- Do your hair
- Do your housework
- Cook you a meal
- Walk your dog
- Play a physical sport or game with you
Feel free to add to this list
