„Das nukleare Tabu könnte zu Teilen auf tief empfundenen, menschlichen Reaktionen beruhen – Bilder von Hiroshima oder kulturelle Erzählungen der Apokalypse. Im Gegensatz dazu denken KI-Modelle abstrakt über einen nuklearen Krieg – sie fühlen den ‚Horror‘ nicht.“ t3n.de/news/ki-simu... #ContraAI 🤖
"Like all the muscles in the body, if we do not use them, if we do not move them, they die … To give a true homily is to share faith," and artificial intelligence "will never be able to share faith," the pope added.
#LeoXIV is also #ContraAI 🤖 ❤️

Being “left behind” is straight up 19th cent #socialevolutionism. It’s giving “three stages of development” vibes. It’s a “Morgan, Spencer and Tylor go into a bar”-joke without anybody laughing. It’s myth without structure. It’s #anthropology without humans. It’s bullshit without Graeber #ContraAI 🤖
#ContraAI 🤖 there is no “accountability gap” in #AI because a computer cannot be held accountable. But the text (in @nature.com) is important - do not feed your data into #AI. It is no longer yours the second you do so.

#ContraAI 🤖 This is coming from the vice dean for artificial intelligence initiatives @columbiauniversity.bsky.social - on LinkedIn he said: ""Move fast and break things" is not acceptable when what you're breaking is a student's confidence..." Could not agree more!

An #AI tool called #Claude by a company called #Anthropic, trying to figure out whether it has a soul, a self … Claude Lévi-Strauss would laugh so hard, were he alive ...

You might want to take a look at my #ContraAI 🤖-thread where I collect studies and reports on the issue. Merci!
LinkedIn Talent Solutions Screen Shot … meet the all-new Hiring Assistant… so you can focus on top candidates.
😠 #ContraAI 🤖Ah, hello “all-new Hiring Assistant” without a name or face. I can’t remember having met before, so what are you doing in my timeline? Oh, I see, you are “Promoted” by LinkedIn Talent Solutions! So, LinkedIn is paying you so that I might pay LinkedIn so that …
This is great - feel free to collect the literature I compile here under the hashtag #ContraAI - also filed under judithbeyer.com/2025/10/30/c...
#ContraAI 🤖 arxiv.org/pdf/2507.09089 A recent study has been “Measuring the Impact of Early-2025 #AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity.” The result: “AI tooling slowed developers down…both experts and developers drastically overestimate the usefulness of AI on developer productivity”
This is really a problem. I am reading through confidential material concerning an #asylum case. The law firm sent me a pdf-doc (through secure channels). The moment I "ask" my "KI assistant" to "talk to my document", the data is no longer secure. DO NOT CLICK THAT BUTTON EVER! #ContraAI 🤖
#ContraAI 🤖 Over 200-page report of the Brookings Institute on the (mostly) detrimental consequences of #AI usage among #children - and what educators and parents can do! www.brookings.edu/wp-content/u...
#ContraAI 🤖 this Lacanian analysis of the TV series #Pluribus is also a critical analysis of #LLMs! “It is more accurate to see the collective as a kind of LLM merely fulfilling a prompt solely because they desire its outcome.”

A Lacanian analysis of #Pluribus.
And a case of #ContraAI 🤖
Just as the “joined” people of Pluribus - who share one consciousness - #LLMs don’t lack!

#ContraAI 🤖 turns out, #GenAI is a coloniser. It “writes like the millions of us who were pushed through a very particular educational and societal pipeline…” By a Kenyan writer who is always accused of using #ChatGBT marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-kenyan-...
„Vectors can be manipulated mathematically to look like meaning without having any externality of meaning … The real danger for me arises from the behaviour of the ‘recipient’ (the human reader) who ascribes patterns and meaning where there are none - who mistakes 'pseudo-language' for real language.“ Dr Joe McIntyre
#ContraAI 🤖This article argues that gen AI is “the most ‘better than nothing’ product of all time…because it doesn’t actually matter whether the data is real. In either case, it is the reader,not the author, constructing the meaning” -which becomes a problem

A beautiful text on human literacy by @eryk.bsky.social
“Ideally the meaning of your life should happen with you, not to you.”

Beautiful text! Will add this to my own list of texts on #contraAI 🤖
I have noted 3 ways of how academia relates to #AI
a) AI is the future and everything will be great;
b) we are doomed and we can't win against AI;
c) who cares about AI ?
So I have started to gather texts on AI, esp. academic ones.
Best of collection ⬇️ #ContraAI 🤖

I will start telling my students that the biggest chance for them to succeed in the future job market is to spend their entire (under-)graduate studies learning how to think for themselves. If they survive this hardship & frustration, they’ll eventually outdo everyone cutting corners

#ContraAI 🤖 new study: “…humans increasingly imitate #LLMs in their spoken language. Our results raise societal and policy-relevant concerns about the potential of #AI to unintentionally reduce linguistic diversity, or to be deliberately misused for mass manipulation…“

Key findings: 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue. 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions. 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information. Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance. Comparison between the BBC’s results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.
#ContraAI 🤖 we know this already, but here’s the same warning substantiated in a new study by BBC and the EBU with more data: do not rely on #AI for anything, including the news. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Adding this rant to my list - it’s very on point and of concern especially for all in #highereducation #academia and #teaching - do not give in! It’s a bubble. The university has to remain a public space of and for #humanity (Jaspers/Arendt)

Excellent.
Recommended reading for all who are #ContraAI 🤖 and pro-Luddite.
Nice play on words in the title, too.

#ContraAI 🤖 "The decision to equate human thought with complex machine slotting ... presupposes that human expression is only and without exception the automation of grammar, that words always and without exception determine ... when they will appear."

Excerpt from Pope Leo’s speech: “Artificial intelligence is changing the way we receive information and communicate, but who directs it and for what purposes? We must be vigilant in order to ensure that technology does not replace human beings, and that the information and algorithms that govern it today are not in the hands of a few. Dear friends, thank you for your work! I offer my best wishes as you reflect upon the challenges that we face. The world needs free, rigorous and objective information. In this context, it is worth remembering Hannah Arendt’s warning that “the ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist (The Origins of Totalitarianism, 474).”
The Pope is #ContraAI and cites Hannah Arendt 😍🙏🏼 #Vatican #PopeLeoXIV #AI
