Few places have the configuration for various platforms on how to prevent Google Chrome from installing the 4GB LLM model that got traction over the last few days. Luckily it is at [Wayback/Archive] default settings – How do I disable all AI features in Chrome? – Super User (thanks [Wayback/Archive] A-Tech and [Wayback/Archive] cachius):

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
In other news today, in addition to the earlier leaked Anthropic AI model, Mythos got leaked as well – [Wayback/Archive] Dany :verified_gay:: “Ah yes, the almighty Mythos, …” – HSNL Social:

Copilot – Terms of Use: “Copilot is for entertainment purposes only.”

Now you know it from the update of the Microsoft [Wayback/Archive] Copilot – Terms of Use: “Copilot is for entertainment purposes only.”
Via [Wayback/Archive] Post by @doublepulsar.com — Bluesky “What happened to the world daddy?” “We destroyed it, but for one beautiful moment in time, we had copilot entertainment” using a blurred image which I found the source for in my past blog post Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders. – Finding back the source.

On my research list: [Wayback/Archive] sjinzh/awesome-yolo-object-detection: 🚀🚀🚀 A collection of some awesome public YOLO object detection series projects.
YOLO (You Only Look Once) is a series of computer vision algorithms and libraries based on training data that does ultra-fast object recognition. Most of it is written in Python with the more recent versions all using Pytorch, though interface from various other languages and environments are available. The above article lists them all.
A long time ago I gave a presentation on a few conferences using computer vision of which I blogged about the first one: Spoken @ DevDays 2009 NL – download is online: .NET & hardware – capture video & control servos, in a fun application
My presentation (.NET & hardware – capture video & control servos, in a fun application) was as a GeekNight session.
That imposed geeky stuff, but in addition it addressed an important point: there will be many more means of interaction.
In particular, my ‘geek’ combination of hardware and software would react on movements seen by the webcam by pointing the beam of the laserpointer towards the largest area that moved.
So it is cool to revisit the topic by for now a link dump: Read the rest of this entry »

LLM-generated passwords ‘fundamentally weak,’ experts say • The Register
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/24
LLM eat a lot of energy and are their hallucination are bad: [Wayback/Archive] LLM-generated passwords ‘fundamentally weak,’ experts say • The Register
Your AI-generated password isn’t random, it just looks that way
…
AI security company Irregular looked at Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, and found all three GenAI tools put forward seemingly strong passwords that were, in fact, easily guessable.
…
Basically they are almost as good as the 2007 XKCD “four” number generator, the 2013 XKCD “I’m So Random” or the 2001 Dilbert “nine” number generator further below (don’t read the latter if you dislike Scott Adams)
Is it a coincidence or are these two using two small squared numbers?
Anyway: avoid LLM whenever possible, as most often they do more bad than good.
And for passwords, better use the blog post that was already scheduled for tomorrow: Generating random strings for passwords and uuids/guids on both Windows and Linux using base64 and hex encoding, plus: “Hive Systems: Are Your Passwords in the Green?”
Via [Wayback/Archive] Eloy.: “LLMs are centrist randomness: not useful for anything that requires truth but neither for password generation” – HSNL Social
Below this post, there are some great responses as well.

Vibe Coding Is Creating Braindead Coders | N’s Blog
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/10
The below blog post sparked my thought into finally having words for what bothered me for such a long time using LLM for coding:
When using LLM for coding, you basically unlearn to solve simple problems. That practically also removes your ability to solve the difficult problems that LLM cannot help solving.

Because the day we stop struggling with hard problems is the day we stop being programmers, and become something else entirely.

Some 3 years after ChatGPT was introduced, I wonder if this still holds for current language and knowledge models:

Writing Doom – Award-Winning Short Film on Superintelligence (2024) – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/10/24
Today a year ago, this interesting short film got available on YouTube about what an Artificial Super Intelligence could bring, especially when it became the villain or bad guy: [Wayback/Archive] Writing Doom – Award-Winning Short Film on Superintelligence (2024) – YouTube (some interesting comments below).
Synopsis from [Wayback/Archive] Writing Doom • Film + cast • Letterboxd:
A writing team are given the task of making Artificial Superintelligence the ‘bad guy’ for the next season of their TV show. With the help of a newcomer to the team (a Machine Learning PhD), they must figure out how and why an ASI might function as an antagonist – and the threat it might pose to humanity.
A few important notes:
- there is no good single definition of intelligence that well defines intelligence, let alone AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) or ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence)
- ASI and its goals might be different from human intelligence and human goals
- humanity might not realise or recognise there is ASI (at all, or when it has just become ASI)
- if humanity does recognise, it might not be able to control (i.e. shut down) an ASI (for many reasons, not just it being too intelligent, but also because lack of consensus – read humanity smashing each others heads for no reason before even reaching consensus)
Maybe AGI and ASI are like nuclear war, and this WarGames conclusion is sensible after all: “the only winning move is not to play” though with the money at stake, AGI and ASI might be obtained. I doubt that will be in my lifetime though.
