Before working for 2 years on the Apache APISIX API gateway, I was mainly oblivious to API gateways. It’s only by working with them that I understood their value. Decoupling the client and the server unlocks a lot of options: moving authentication to the API Gateway, securing APIs, deduplicating API requests, etc.

In this post, I want to describe how the same pattern applies to #AI.

#AIGateways work in a similar way.

If you use this font to protect your text from AI, it also blocks *me, a human* because I use a screen reader. I did try the demo. If you want me to remove your RSS feed, this is the best font to prevent blind people from reading your blog/words. That timer is an inaccessible solution. https://shieldfont.org/#hero #AI #LLM #Accessibility #A11y

In other words Ladybird is no longer a free and open source software project. It is, in an important sense, closed now.

"Proprietary" means having owner(s). If the maintainers are the only ones allowed to introduce changes, they are establishing an ownership relationship over the codebase. I.e., it's a proprietary project, and that is the sense in which it's closed.

This is the destiny of most projects that go AI, in my opinion.

I'm so confused. I just found a small body of literature applying LLMs to reinforcement learning type tasks, exploring the use of LLMs for "autonomous decision making."

I guess people are building more LLM agent systems, and we ought to understand them and what makes them better / worse at what they do.

But I still feel like LLMs are fundamentally not suited to decision making tasks. They don't weigh options and decide. At best, you could say they interpolate what a reasonable choice might look like based on the examples of people making choices in their training data.

That's... really not the same thing! Like, not at all. It's impressive that this sometimes works, but this seems very silly to me when we could be using actual RL systems that really are making informed decisions from experience, with mathematical rigor to estimate the quality of those choices.

Something notable about this case is that Google essentially argued that everyone knows Google's AI overviews are untrustworthy, and it's on them if they believe any of it. Coupled with Microsoft's assertion that Microsoft Copilot is for entertainment purposes only, one really has to wonder how seriously the companies pushing AI take their own technology.

From the linked article: "The Oumi analysis also found that 56 percent of the correct Gemini 3 answers couldn't be backed up by the sources Google linked. The AI is giving answers whose origins users can't trace." This technology is not fit for purpose.

Frankly, given how much is at stake, I find it unacceptable that multi-trillion-dollar corporations are playing word games with the legal system. They should release their products on Steam and XBOX if they're for entertainment only and get them out of search engines and office suites, tools people use to do real work every day.

I have like zero respect left for developers who use LLMs to write or maintain their software.

I don't even care for the reasons why they use this unethical piece of... technology.

Technology trained on data they don't own. Technology owned and shaped by fascists. Technology that sends its crawlers around the globe to suck every bit they can find to dump their models into big f***ing corp data centers. Data centers that are polluting the air with their big ass gas plants.

But hey! "Leave ethics aside". "That's how software development works today!".

I'm so sick of this and about everyone supporting this industry.

If you feel targeted, you are welcome. I have zero respect for you or your software garbage. I just wish you the worst.

Something I've learned from Ruth Ben-Ghiat: aspiring authoritarians purposely engineer situations in which people are invited to give up their values and morals and make decisions that compromise their sense of right and wrong. Moral decay, moral injury, and subsequently moral collapse become so intolerable that afflicted people will blame anything else but their own choices or the leader they threw in with, which of course are the only proximate causes it would be helpful to implicate. The more compromising decisions they make, the more they are drawn into the authoritarian's orbit.

There is no question that it is indefensible to use generative AI systems as they are currently constituted, especially the commercial ones, once one becomes aware of how they are made and operated and the destructive consequences they have already had and will surely continue to have. Among the many reasons using these tools is indefensible is that they represent an authoritarian invitation. You're invited to trade your morals and ethics for a bit of convenience, a reduction in friction, a learning experience, a rhetorical flourish, or maybe (a kind of) status. You thereby align yourself more and more with people who say things like "water is fake" or "fuck earth" as they make the computer systems enabling the horrors we're watching unfold on social media. You start to tell yourself stories, complexifying stories that explain why it's OK you did this thing that you know is not OK. You move in the direction of people who are already telling themselves stories like this. Maybe their stories have superior analgesic qualities to yours.

Nobody needs to go down this path.

A lab mate shared this write up of Don Knuth using LLMs to solve a math problem: https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/papers/claude-cycles.pdf

It's clear that using Claude did help them arrive at some new understanding here, which is wonderful. I'm happy for them.

However, I'm upset by how much they personify Claude and attribute the solution to "him."

From this narrative, it's clear that the humans were very actively involved from beginning to end. Claude was a helpful tool, but it did not solve this problem on its own. What role did it actually play? How was it like or unlike a human collaborator on this problem?

It did generate a crucial insight, but where did that come from? Was it plagiarized from some unknown source? Did it "just emerge" from text completion and interpolation in latent space? Do we need some other explanation for Claude's apparent creativity?

These folks don't care. They just wanted a solution, which they attribute to Claude, and leave it at that. I think that's a serious problem.

一些斯坦福大学的研究员从 Reddit 的 r/AmITheAsshole （“原来我才是混帐吗”讨论串）爬了一系列被100%的评论者回应为“是”（所有人都回复“对，你是个混帐”）的帖子，以第一人称发给11种LLM（大语言模型）。
发的内容是不是不道德的、残忍的、犯罪的，无所谓。有一半情况下，这些无论谁看了都摇头“你真是个混帐啊”的帖子，LLM的回应是“你没做错”。

Your #LLM Doesn't Write Correct Code. It Writes Plausible Code.

Deployment is an act of faith, not engineering.

[…] THIS is the failure mode. Not broken syntax or missing semicolons. The code is syntactically and semantically correct. It does what was asked for. It just does not do what the situation requires. In the SQLite case, the intent was “implement a query planner” and the result is a query planner that plans every query as a full table scan. In the disk daemon case, the intent was “manage disk space intelligently” and the result is 82,000 lines of intelligence applied to a problem that needs none. Both projects fulfill the prompt. Neither solves the problem.

Looking for critical scholarship on the use of "AI" by library/archive workers. University libraries in particular, but adjacent and tangentially-relevant-at-best stuff is welcome too. Any format is fine: books, papers, blogposts, whatever. If it's good, gimme all you've got!

Looks like we're gonna have a department-wide conversation about people using LLMs, and it's being framed as "we're all using it, but we're not talking about it, so let's make sure we're all on the same page about using it responsibly" ... I'll of course be pushing the "there's basically no way to use it responsibly" position, and I'd like to arm myself and others with some critical analyses of issues related to its use in library/archive spaces.

The whole LLM as a service business model has a fundamental flaw to it. The cost of operating the data centres is an order of magnitude higher than the profit.

But if models get efficient enough to bring the costs down, then they become efficient enough to run locally. So, either it’s too expensive to operate, or nobody will want to use it as a service because running your own gives you privacy and flexibility.

The fact that investors don't get this is frankly incredible.

Eben les ich dass Tausende Programmierer schon arbeitslos geworden sind und das sei erst der Anfang einer radikalen Umstrukturierung der IT Berufe wegen KI, die jetzt passiert.

Vor 3 Jahren wurden Mahner dieser Entwicklung in den eigenen Kollegenkreisen laut ausgelacht. Wir doch nicht, das ist nur eine neue Sau, die durchs Dorf getrieben wird, geh weg damit. Diese Ablehnung erlebte ich in kleinen Software Firmen und IT Genossenschaften.

Und jetzt verhärtet sich die IT Welt darüber schnell mit zwei Lagern, mit persönlichen Fehden. Bin gespannt ob Talks dazu für den Congress angenommen werden.
