@fsmk_org I am disappointed to see updates/announcements of events that promote the use of LLMs.

I'm curious if the FSMK community has had a discussion on the legal, ethical and environmental impacts of the use of LLMs?

Notwithstanding the #CritiHype marketing onslaught by AI companies, the seemingly imminent takeover of the world by AI and the "get with it, or get left behind" FOMO, LLMs and their large-scale scraping and processing of copyleft content are antithetical to the FOSS movement - if FOSS is about enriching the commons and putting the commons to use to serve the needs of the many, how does entrenching the stranglehold that a few US companies have over many aspects of modern tech, software development and life in general achieve that?

Not to mention there are several pending lawsuits working their way through the US legal system about the flagrant copyright violations due to LLM scraping. What is FSMK's position on the fundamental conflict between copyleft FOSS code and LLMs' ingestion of such code without subsequently open-sourcing their weights/code?

Pluralistic: Criticizing the everything machine (06 Jun 2026)

I'm enjoying the schadenfreude of PocketOS getting badly burnt for vibing with AI.

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/claude-powered-ai-coding-agent-deletes-entire-company-database-in-9-seconds-backups-zapped-after-cursor-tool-powered-by-anthropics-claude-goes-rogue

The article has several problems, however:

• Steganographic & access journalism; credulously repeating the founder's perspective

• believing that AI can explain itself; it cannot, but it can extrude explanation shaped text

• critihype; amping up the danger of AI while overstating its actual capabilities

• almost zero examination of the founder's or his staffs' culpability; accepting the founder's framing of the AI and the cloud provider being to blame

• mostly ignoring the amateur backup policy — they had no offsite, redundant backup; there's a throwaway comment at the end that effectively gives them a pass

• author anthropmorphizes the AI and repeats the founder doing the same

• no security or AI critic consulted to offer an outside perspective or criticism of PocketOS' behavior

I came across this article that talks about #CritiHype, where you take an over boisterous claim of some techbro, assume everything they say is true, but just spin it in a negative way.
For example "LLM's can do everything humans can"
"This tech will replace 100% of human jobs!"

Critique de film

Alienoid (2022)

Dans un joyeux bordel un Terminator affronte des aliens emprisonnés dans des corps humains... Le tout dans une narration discontinue mâtinée d'une dose de sauce tigre et dragon et d’humour potache et parodique.
C'est foutraque à souhait, les effets spéciaux passent du très correct au carrément cheap entre 2 scènes.
On finit par apprécier ce film complètement décalé : à ne pas prendre au premier degré.
