Bruce Simpson, Ph.D.@heiseonlineenglish #Microsoft #Copilot is now quite unhelpfully submitting #AIslop PRs on #FreeBSD projects. I have no input into this and I do not believe it can be opted out of due to #GitHub terms of service. It is simply unacceptable, and there is the obvious IP risk as Microsoft and #OpenAI have indicated they do not respect other's IP rights. I do not host any projects of critical import on the GitHub service any more. #ai #GrandTheftAutoComplete
@jmhill The rate of "hallucination" (more accurately: confabulation) is just too high. The power requirements are obscene. The IP theft #GrandTheftAutoComplete factor has rendered Microsoft and OpenAI utterly without credibility, not that their products are any good any more anyway. Perhaps something can be salvaged from all of this. I plan to use it for legacy C++ refactoring jobs and some code generation. I will be the "human in the loop" the whole time. #ai
GavinMicroslop recovered a bit, but still below $400. Still a load of tripe.
On the other hand, Apple, which still has products people buy voluntarily and hasnβt spaffed its load on slop, has only dropped from $268 to $254 in the same period. #msft #grandtheftautocomplete

Youβre welcome! π I myself snagged it from someone else - who, unfortunately, I canβt remember or find to credit. ππ»
@timnitGebru @emilymbender @pluralistic @glynmoody Essentially, employing #genai against your own citizens in the name of corporate power (or indeed good old fashioned hard conflict) is probably the sine qua non of 2026 political issues. I'm looking at you, #Palantir. #GrandTheftAutoComplete
@UKFilmNerd I couldn't get to the Film Stories link probably because I'm behind a well-known VPN provider, so: https://www.aiandgames.com/p/uk-governments-ai-plans-smacked-down #GrandTheftAutoComplete
@smeg Getting rid of GitHub is especially important. #GrandTheftAutoComplete https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/
@grrlscientist #OpenAI should be under #boycott by default, and Sam #Altman is a disingenous idiot. And Satya #Nadella is even worse, he speaks with a forked tongue. #Microsoft loves #Linux, because of its influence at the #linuxfoundation which is a trade association for corporate interests. https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/ #GrandTheftAutoComplete
