You must picture Sam Altman holding a knife to Tim Berner-Lee's throat. We are in a truly existential level of danger when it comes to the survival of the open web, across every front. This year is when it all comes to a head. https://anildash.com/2026/03/27/endgame-open-web/

@anildash Sorry but there's no "good AI".
@dukeboitans @anildash You're wrong.

@dzwiedziu @dukeboitans @anildash I'm not wrong. Any assertion that there is no good AI is balderdash.

Just about all technology has the potential for misuse. Regulating it is the appropriate response not wishing it away.

Chemistry Nobel goes to developers of AlphaFold AI that predicts protein structures

This year’s prize celebrates computational tools that have transformed biology and have the potential to revolutionize drug discovery.

@dukeboitans @anildash not a single atom of generative ai is good #noslop #noai

@dukeboitans
But… but… what about the mob AI from the OG DOOM? 👉👈🥺

JK, only good “AI” is “off AI” (also for me being able to finish any DOOM).

@anildash

@dukeboitans It depends what do you mean by “good AI”. AI is a marketing term and I keep avoiding it. Maybe it’s time for me to start explicitly explaining why people should stop saying “AI”.

You have to be precise: do you think there’s no good LLMs? No good applications that use LLMs?

Also, please explain how do you assess if it’s good or not.
