Ramin Honary<a href="https://tilde.town/~ramin_hal9001/articles/ai-is-an-orwellian-nightmare.html%20" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AI is an Orwellian nightmare</a> I used to be able to search for things using a search engine. It would point me to a source of information, I could decide for myself if the source was good or not. But not anymore. Recently I just wasted a lot of time trying to find something using a search engine only to get lost in an ocean of AI slop.I finally gave in and asked my question to ChatGPT and it answered my question perfectly, it even showed me where it got it’s sources of information. The places it linked me to were either no longer existent (if ever) or only vaguely related. But it at least created the appearance of citing factual sources of information, in whatever way the statistical models have been trained to give that impression to the humans who use it.In Orwell’s novel “1984,” we saw how a single government agency took all control over information, how the staff would keep a database of facts but constantly alter these facts to fit the view of reality that their despot “Big Brother” wanted the citizens to believe. The same thing happens now with LLMs presenting a very carefully tuned image of the facts in the database.AI chat bots are an innovative new method of brainwashing, one which nobody could have ever imagined possible even a few years ago: get everyone to trust a mechanical Big Brother because it chats with you like a friendly fellow human would.(<a href="https://tilde.town/~ramin_hal9001/articles/ai-is-an-orwellian-nightmare.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Full article here.</a>)<a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/ai" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/tech" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/internet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#internet</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/politics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/chatbot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChatBot</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/llm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/chatgpt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/orwellian" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Orwellian</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/georgeorwell" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeorgeOrwell</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/bigbrother" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBrother</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/criticalthinking" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriticalThinking</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/searchengine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SearchEngine</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a>

YogthosDeepSeek reduced the cost of large model inference by 93.3% using a compression technique that approximates large matrices by multiplying two smaller matrices, reducing the memory usage and computational requirements. The core idea is to compress the KVCache, which stores intermediate results of each token's computation, by compressing it into a smaller vector and then decomposing it back into the original matrix when needed.<a href="https://oilbeater.com/en/2025/04/14/deepseek-mla/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://oilbeater.com/en/2025/04/14/deepseek-mla/</a><a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/llm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#llm</a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technology</a>

i686-powered lia<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLM</a> can help people with... language tasks, unsurprisingly!Shitty business emails nobody wants to write, interactively talk through a project idea, understand idioms, get starting points for some kind of question, or just regurgitate boilerplate simple mental health advice like how to stop letting other people affect you, how to organise a journal or do a breathing exercise.If you run them stale, local and open source there is literally no ethical problem.(4/4)

i686-powered liaI think so-called "AI" is totally ethical, but only if all of this is met:- It's an <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLM</a> and not an art generator. (plagiarism and anti-worker) - Local, offline, open source. (privacy, server costs and energy usage) - Not trained on art or personal data. - Advertised as a language model and not as <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a>, information retrieval or a knowledge source. - Is "stale", meaning it's not constantly updated and re-trained (this is where the energy cost comes from, not from prompting it!)(2/4)

Winter RantThe Weekly: Being Obviously Wrong… also in this issue: <a href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/2025/04/15/the-weekly-being-obviously-wrong/#life-is-for-living" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">life of legos and eggs</a>, a <a href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/2025/04/15/the-weekly-being-obviously-wrong/#crosspost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">brief crosspost</a>, and a <a href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/2025/04/15/the-weekly-being-obviously-wrong/#ai-too-big" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nagging question</a>.Being obviously wrong, i.e., in a manner that is obvious and clear, can be a strength for automated systems. Because when a machine breaks — digital or mechanical — with a lot of sound and drama, it becomes easy to know two things: (a) that the machine is broken, and (b) a clue on where the trouble is. This in turn makes it easy to intervene manually and fix up the automation. We do not realize this but these machines are not an end to themselves, but exist to support human beings, and if they are not helping people, or cannot be helped by people … what’s the point?Detecting when things are wrong is harder than it seems. In fact, a century or two ago, it took <a href="https://historycollection.com/buried-alive-common-victorian-era-doctors-used-10-methods-prevent/#:~:text=Doctors%20are%20also,the%20gold%20standard." rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">years of medical training to accurately decipher if a person was indeed dead</a>. But coming back to the land of the living, this century, and closer to my own area of rants and raves: tech.The entire field of software testing has been obsessed with this basic problem of defining and checking correctness for the past fifty five years. Don’t get me wrong: we have made tremendous strides in testing complex code and ensuring that we ship code with high standards of quality. But if you asked anyone if we can automate away all that testing (or even a good chunk of it), they would spell out an inescapable reality: we rely on human software engineers and testers more than we want to admit when building robust and reliable software systems.And a big part of driving reliability in software is knowing when it is wrong, i.e., when it breaks. Back in the good old days of 2022, doing this was relatively easy. Take a system served over the cloud, say Google Drive. If it stopped syncing your files, you would know, because you would not see the same file across your phone and laptop.Fast forward to 2025, and we are befuddled with these large language models that are proliferating everywhere, while being wrong in ever so subtle ways. Using the output of a large language model, especially at work, without scrutinizing it … is recipe for disaster. I love thinking back to the lawyers who <a href="https://apnews.com/article/artificial-intelligence-chatgpt-fake-case-lawyers-d6ae9fa79d0542db9e1455397aef381c#:~:text=The%20chatbot%2C%20which,that%20didn’t%20exist." rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trusted ChatGPT’s generated citations</a> in their legal filing, only to find that each citation was fabricated (i.e., fake) and invited fines from the judge in their case. ChatGPT was wrong. But it was wrong with so much subtlety that it fooled professional, educated, seasoned lawyers into believing in non-existent legal precedents.I am not sure what we can do about this anymore given that these language-based AI systems are very much out of the bag. Nothing to do, except to expect these subtle mistakes, and be more mindful than ever. Manual work and error checking may never have mattered more, than they do today.It is important to know how to work without a machine or algorithm, now more than ever. Life is for Living: Eggs and LegosInstead of rushing through life, I find myself standing still more than I used to. It has allowed me to notice life around me. And when not intensely private, I capture it with my camera.Lego LocomotiveKid is getting better with his legos, and with his appreciation of trains and locomotives. I continue to be a proud dad 🤩. The pictures below are his lego imaginations of train engines 🚂.Eggs 🍳I am not exactly proud of the omelets I make. But I am at a point where I can manage to fold a neat looking omelet on to a plate.

No matter how I feel about it — and I feel a lot of things — it occurs to me that the changes in our lives, wrought about by advances in AI are for all practical purposes irreversible. AI certainly is poised to reshape how we work both in big ways and small. But regardless of how all of this shakes out in our day-to-day there is one inescapable reality about AI: its impact on the tech economy.I like to think of myself as someone who cares about humanity, the primacy of refining our crafts, and generally everything that human beings have to offer. And even I cannot ignore the fact that the amount of money invested in AI (both research and tech) is so much that if this does not yield some form of return, then it might spell doom and gloom for a long time to come. I am frankly afraid that the global economy might break if nothing comes off the existing investments in AI. Yuck.Very reluctantly, I am thinking about leaning in. It is probably a mistake. But this ship is sailing. And the best way to deal with this reality is to find the humanity in it all. Because for one thing — and I will write about this more in the weeks to come — I do not think that AI as it stands, or as it is being prophesied will amount to much without people involved. And for another thing (and this is more important) … what is all of this technology for if not for people?<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/tag/ai/" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/tag/automation/" target="_blank">#Automation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/tag/eggs/" target="_blank">#Eggs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/tag/food/" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/tag/genai/" target="_blank">#GenAI</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/tag/gpt/" target="_blank">#GPT</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/tag/legos/" target="_blank">#Legos</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/tag/llm/" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://rant.vpalepu.com/tag/wrong/" target="_blank">#Wrong</a>
