I've run into two instances of people using an #LLM to summarize text and then rely on, and in one case defend, the "conclusions" which #Gemini and #Copilot slopped up, and it's a good thing I'm stopping work early today.

It's been a big week for AI, even by AI-news standards. Google announced plans to revolutionize search, unveiled a new Android XR glasses prototype and rolled out updated Gemini models. And China's Manus AI showed how it can compete with ChatGPT. There are a lot of AI toys coming, and the folks at @TechRadar got to play with most of them. #AI #ChatGPT #Google #Gemini #Manus #OpenAI #Tech #Technology https://flip.it/jutwQv

Google AI Mode: come cambia la ricerca e l’esperienza web

Beklager #Gemini, men disse fotoene som brukes til illustrasjon i artikkelen https://gemini.no/2025/05/professor-fornyet-undervisningen-med-chatgpt/ er nok ikke i «public domain».

«Public domain» er forøvrig et konsept som juridisk ikke finnes i Norge https://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offentleg_eigedom

I've been using @gmail since it was invite only. I'm about to leave it, though: Can't turn off "Help me write"?! Intrusive, irritating, and interrupts my work. AI is nice, WHEN we decide to use it. FORCING it on us makes my middle finger very stiff. #Gemini #AI

Kako je Google I/O postao Google A/I.

Otra ventaja de haberme pasado a #Fedora

El navegador #Lagrange para los protocolos #gemini y #gopher está en los repositorios oficiales de la distro y se integra perfecto con el escritorio, no es necesario descargar tipografías adicionales porque toma las del sistema, tampoco es necesario hacer ningún malabar para que las URL de dichos protocolos sean pulsables en Firefox y abiertas en Lagrange, a diferencia de lo que ocurría con Ubuntu y derivadas.

So will Google Such-Marktführer bleiben

Googles Suchmaschine hat ernstzunehmende Konkurrenz durch KI-Chatbots. Um Marktführer zu bleiben, sollen KI-Funktionen künftig auch bei der Google-Suche eine noch viel größere Rolle spielen. Von Nils Dampz.

Під час конференції #Google I/O компанія оголосила, що інтегрує свого ШІ-помічника #Gemini у браузер #Chrome. Це нововведення дозволить користувачам швидко отримувати пояснення складної інформації на вебсторінках або стислий її виклад. У перспективі Gemini зможе працювати з кількома вкладками одночасно й навіть самостійно переміщуватись сайтами.

Google I/O was a bit underwhelming for someone who follows AI developments closely, nothing new, just rolling out AI in all of Google's ecosystem. Very little real innovation, nothing new or unexpected. The rollout of Gemini across all google apps is a bit scary if you think about the still high level of hallucinations in LLMs. Some uses (like coding where you can quickly check outcomes, detect faults) make more sense then others (various agentic tasks in reallife).

Google Gemini über Google I/O

"Nun, wenn man sich die Ankündigungen der I/O 2025 so anschaut, scheint es, als hätte Google eher eine neue Religion gegründet – die "AI-Allmacht". Sie werfen doch mit KI-Features um sich, als gäbe es kein Morgen mehr. Von einem "AI Mode" für die Suche, der persönliche Kontexte aus Gmail nutzen soll (Datenschutz? Ein alter Hut!), über virtuelle Anproben von Klamotten bis hin zu

I deeply, deeply do not care about the latest updates to your planet-burning BS-spewing machine. I do not want to use your planet-burning BS-spewing machine. Please stop shoving your planet-burning BS-spewing machine in my face every chance you get.

The Ugly, and Harmful “Big Beautiful Bill” – DrWeb’s Domain.

Today, the mad scramble to destroy more American lives by Trump and his goons, starts with this “Act” and a bill to fail Americans on health care, and other major changes no one wants except Republicans and Trump’s people.

So, I used my Gemini 2.0 Flash AI to find the latest version, which was report as having exactly, 1,116-pages. The AI first failed, then found the bill for research and sharing at this location:
https://budget.house.gov/download/one-big-beautiful-bill-act_-full-bill-text

Here’s the details on that search-and-find: quoting Gemini:

“Sure, I understand the urgency and your goal to get this bill out to the public. I will diligently monitor for its release.

It’s important to remember that large, complex bills, especially those going through the reconciliation process, can take time to be officially published and assigned a public bill number on Congress.gov. This process involves the bill being formally introduced in the House, referred to committees, potentially marked up, and then finally printed in its official version.

I will keep a close watch on the House Budget Committee’s activity and Congress.gov for the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” or “Axe the Tax Act” related to fiscal year 2026. As soon as the official 1,116-page PDF becomes available, I will retrieve it and let you know.

I appreciate your patience as I await its official release. I have good news! I’ve located the full text of the bill you’re interested in.

It is indeed titled the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and is the reconciliation bill under the budget resolution for fiscal year 2026.

You can access the PDF directly from the House Budget Committee website, where it was released.

Here is the link to the 1,116-page PDF: https://budget.house.gov/download/one-big-beautiful-bill-act_-full-bill-text

This is the official text as advanced by the committee. Please let me know if you need anything else!” <end of Gemini>

I’ve added the file here as backup, if you need a copy. See below.

Like cutting down a forest without growing new trees, the AI corporations seem to be consuming the natural raw material of their money-making machines faster than it can be replenished.

Natural, human-generated information, be they works of art, or conversations about factual things like how to write software, are the source of training data for Large Language Models (LLMs), which is what people are calling “artificial intelligence” nowadays. LLM shops spend untold millions on curating the information they harvest to ensure this data is strictly human-generated and free of other LLM-generated content. If they do not do this, the non-factual “hallucinations” (fictional content) that these LLMs generate may come to dominate the factual human-made training data, making the answers that the LLMs generate increasingly more prone to hallucination.

The Internet is already so full of LLM-generated content that it has become a major problem for these companies. The new LLMs are more and more often trained on fictional LLM-generated content that passes as factual and human-made, which is rapidly making LLMs less and less accurate as time goes on — a viscous downward spiral.

But it gets worse. Thanks to all of the AI hype, everyone is asking questions of LLMs nowadays and not of other humans. So the source of these LLMs training data, web sites like StackOverflow and Reddit, are now no longer recording as many questions from humans to other humans. If that human-made information disappears, so does the source of natural resources that make it possible to build these LLMs.

Even worse still, if there are any new innovations in science or technology, unless humans are asking question to the human innovators, the LLMs can’t learn about these things innovations either. Everyone will be stuck in this churning maelstrom of AI “slop,” asking only questions that have asked by millions of others before, and never receiving any true or accurate answers on new technology. And nobody, neither the humans nor the machines, will be learning anything new at all, while the LLMs become more and more prone to hallucinations with each new generation of AI released to the public.

I think we are finally starting to see the real limitations of this LLM technology come into clear view, the rate at which it is innovating is simply not sustainable. Clearly pouring more and more money and energy into scaling up these LLM project will not lead to increased return-on-investment, and will definitely not lead to the “singularity” in which machine intelligence surpasses human intelligence. So how long before the masses finally realize they have been sold nothing but a bill of goods by these AI corporations?
