The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

I love the idea that this is how they achieve the surveillance holy grail: AI reading your texts with your sexts. Instead of, you know, an internet connected GPS enabled device you take everywhere.

Not only that, but so much AI tech extracts the metadata and open info created/enabled *by* library and data workers. The labor of our field is being consumed and then resold to us in the hopes that we’ll decide our own jobs are obsolete @404media.co

Librarians told 404 Media they're being inundated with new pitches for AI library tech and catalogs are being flooded with AI slop books.

But more broadly, AI maximalism across society is supercharging the ideological war on libraries, schools, government workers, and academics.
AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge

I sighed deeply when I first noticed it.
A settings screen for logitech hardware. In the background is a keyboard. In the foreground is a window displayed after clicking on the three sparkle stars icon. The pop up says "Enable AI prompt builder: To use AI prompt builder and access ChatGPT through AI prompt builder, it must be enabled. You can disable it any time in the application settings."

This kid rules
Looking for parental controls for a child hacker. Not easy to break FamilyLink or Qustodio, but what? My son is 11. He's a game-eddictive. If I give him a phone with unlimited access, he'll do nothing but play games. He'll even stop eating and sleeping. He first hacked Family Link when he was 9. And he found an uncontrolled browser when he was 8. Since then, there has been a constant technological war. I tried third-party parental control apps, such as Qustodio and others, but he removed them all or bypassed them even faster. Now, his most common hack is to reboot without the internet and add a second user, where he does whatever he wants until I discover it through Family Link (the Add User option becomes enabled). So I have to check it often. His studies suffer because as soon as I leave for at least 20 minutes, he's already on his phone. With the help of AI, I realized that I need to install MDM (some device owner system), but Family Link doesn't want to be the Device Owner, and the other apps I found (Google Endpoint Manager, SureMDM, TinyMDM) are all paid. Maybe I need to install Google Play Services as a Device Owner right after device resetting, then learn how to manually configure policies via ADB? I've already gone through a similar process on a PC when I couldn't get Windows under control (Microsoft Family is even more full of holes), so I had to install Linux and configure a lot of things manually. The only thing that helps is to give him the phone only when necessary and then take it away and hide it in a safe with a 7-digit code (he's already figured out and opened codes with up to 6 digits). But it's exhausting. Who else has a little hacker in a family? What do you use?

This is huge news in @cameronwilson.bsky.social's @thesizzle.com.au- Microsoft is being forced by the Aus regulator refund all the ultra-dodgy AI plan pushing it was doing for Office 365

Wild that other regions aren't also using regulatory power to punish Microsoft

thesizzle.com.au/p/google-sur...
Microsoft is refunding its scummy AI plans so that the ACCC doesn’t go so hard on them Microsoft is offering refunds to 3 (!) million Australian customers and apologised about its dodgy AI plan pushing (SmartCompany). In an email sent to customers today, Microsoft says it will refund all the additional cost of its Copilot AI plans if people revert to its non-AI plan by the end of the year. “In hindsight, we could have been clearer about the availability of a non-AI-enabled offering with subscribers, not just to those who opted to cancel their subscription,” the statement said. grovelling email by Microsoft The Sizzle: None of this happens if the ACCC hadn’t launched legal proceedings against Microsoft. Notably, this is just for Australian customers. Everywhere else just remains ripped off. If our consumer protections make us a nanny state, then stick a dummy in my mouth and give me a diaper!!! Greatest country in the world!!!!

"the analysis revealed a significant increase in data transfer (up to 86%) when autoplayed previews were enabled and motivates the need for an alternative solution."

I think AI superintelligence xrisk is a major issue we need to coordinate against. I think we have serious threats from AI enabled totalitarianism, and find slop annoying. Yet I am delighted by many AI products and find them genuinely helpful.

FYI gmail users: your mails are now ai fodder. How to switch it off is in the original post on IG. Also, if you have more than one gmail account, you have to do this on each. As a bonus, switching it off finally removed the stupid tabs it sorts the posts into.

Gmail just flipped a dangerous switch on October 10th, 2025 and 99% of Gmail users have no idea. Google's Gemini AI now scans, reads, and analyzes every email you receive including attachments, financial docs, and private messages. This feature was enabled autmatically.

User-hostile software has been on an extreme rise because consumer protection was gutted. My own TV no longer prompts me to accept TOS for their privacy invasive AI feature. It's just enabled now. All because companies have been completely let loose like rabid dogs on the consumer.

You are correct if we use AI-enabled editors powered by non-local AI-engines. The key is to use the content with local models/engines (think closed source) or with fully open/public models/engines (think LGPL).

As it turns out, that *was* Duck Duck Go. Evidently, Duck Duck Go's default, out-of-the-box settings have AI and ads enabled, though you can disable both. Nonetheless, I feel a certain way about nearly clicking on Walmart instead of MW's website just now. Tf am I seeing Walmart at all?

Recently YouTube told me that AI auto dubbing would be available on my channel soon. I made sure it was off. Today they are showing me this message… but the setting is still off 🆒

(I assume this is a poorly written notice meant to inform me that AI dubbing is now *available* but. Dude. Come on)
Screenshot that reads, "Auto dubbing is now enabled on your channel! The audio on new videos will be automatically translated into other languages, to make your content more accessible. You can always adjust your settings." Screenshot that says "Automatic dubbing. Automatically translates your audio tracks…” Below that is an unchecked box labeled “Allow automatic dubbing."

We clarify when liability and insurance can actually incentivize AI safety—mainly when losses are common and observable (like self-driving cars or AI-enabled medical devices).
