🥽 🌍 How do we design ubiquitous personalization systems that connect people's realities instead of isolating them?

Next week, I'll be at #CHI2026 in Barcelona to discuss this and other questions from my dissertation overview paper "Creating Personalized Realities That Connect People's Perceptions of Reality" at the Student Mentoring Program!

If you're at CHI next week, feel free to reach out :)

A figure titled 'Connecting Personalized Realities: Challenges and Opportunities in a Personalized Society' by Jannis Strecker-Bischoff, presented at the ACM CHI 2026 Student Mentoring Program Dissertation Research Roundtable, affiliated with the University of St. Gallen Institute of Computer Science. The slide features the RUPS model (published at DIS 2025), a diagram showing how Ubiquitous Personalization (UP) systems work, with interconnected components: UP Recipients (users, bystanders, objects), UP Data Sources (personal user data, content data, situational data), UP Creation (information collection and personalization algorithm), UP Sharing (information collection and sharing algorithm), and UP Delivery (information collection and delivery medium). These components produce a Personalized Reality. Four research questions are listed: RQ1 asks how UP systems can be modelled for responsible design and analysis; RQ2 asks how to give people transparency and agency over their personal data in UP systems; RQ3 asks how Personalized Reality can help humans navigate affordance-rich realities transparently; RQ4 asks what methods can counter isolated perceptions of reality in multi-user scenarios.

When thinking about #AI, I think it is worth recalling where language models came from. It explains a few things.

Statistical language models are properly born, and with them the advent of large text corpora. They prefigure the Large Language Models we are now used to.

#AI / #LLM good or bad?

This same discussion is raging across the entire planet. Yet the 'yes I like it / no I hate it' back & forth isn't very interesting and fruitful. Turning thoughful debate into heated shouting matches.

Instead ponder the technology as-is. Adopt a more strategical, but also philosophical and psychological viewpoint, shift perspective. We need calm environments to analyse what all this means for our #future. Deal with utterly disruptive technology that is *already* dumped right in the midst of us. Much more to come.

Solution orientation is needed to tackle this huge #challenge. I consider LLM's inhumane tech, immoral and unethically introduced. Corporate capture of all human knowledge for pure commercial gain. Greed, vanity, power of the #EpsteinClass. Enormous resource use. Looming AI #dystopia. Hallmarks of #hypercapitalism.

What risks does #humanity face? How can we protect our #freedom? Can we tackle wicked problems?

AI decreased my productivity this week due to an increase in slop applications.

Demonstrating compliance with the disclosure policy for use of generative AI is just the first check.

I look for evidence that the applicant is capable of completing all tasks without use of AI tools. AI is a tool, not a replacement for expertise and experience. I look for ownership of the output and how they plan to thoroughly review 100% of AI-generated output.

The AI Great Leap Forward

Similar to the #Chinese Great Leap Forward's inflated grain production reports, companies are fabricating or exaggerating #AI adoption and productivity gains to please leadership, leading to increased investment based on made up numbers. The focus seem to have shifted from genuine AI development to "demoware" – impressive-looking prototypes and interfaces with little underlying validation, data infrastructure, or maintenance plans, creating future tech debt.

[…] Entire departments are stitching together n8n workflows and calling it AI — dozens of automated chains firing prompts into models, zero evaluation on any of them. These tools are merchants of complexity: they sell visual simplicity while generating spaghetti underneath. A drag-and-drop canvas makes it trivially easy to chain ten LLM calls together and impossibly hard to debug why the eighth one hallucinates on Tuesdays. The people building these workflows have never designed an evaluation pipeline, never measured model drift, never A/B tested a prompt. They don’t need to — the canvas looks clean, the arrows point forward, the green checkmarks fire. The complexity isn’t avoided. It’s hidden behind a GUI where nobody with ML expertise will ever look.

The enshittification for revenue is beginning in earnest at ChatGPT, I see:

"Our ads pilot is focused on supporting broader access to ChatGPT while preserving consumer trust, usefulness, and user control. Guided by our ads principles⁠, the early results are encouraging. We’re seeing no impact on consumer trust metrics, low dismissal rates of ads, and ongoing improvements in the relevance of ads as we learn from feedback. These positive signals support moving into the next phase of our pilot.

"In the coming weeks, we’ll begin expanding beyond the U.S., starting with pilots in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. We’ll roll this out thoughtfully in each market, learn from real-world usage, and adjust as we go. Our hope is to continue to expand to many more markets this year."

@gregeganSF on a lighter note sunrise time does not depend on gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing is a phenomenon where massive objects like galaxies or black holes bend light from distant sources, but it does not affect the timing of sunrise. Sunrise times are primarily influenced by Earth's rotation, axial tilt, and your location on the planet.
So noons like myself can still use newton's ( bisection) approximation to calculate the sunrise time with data
Sad part #ai couldn't have told the former , so newer theories , calculations and instruments of scientific observation need go on for ai to have any reliability on its data ops , no matter how it scraps that .
New Knowledge is the product of any value , without it data is just noise , and ai is only making an echo chamber for noises

"We argue [computational functionalism] fundamentally mischaracterizes how physics relates to information. We call this mistake the #AbstractionFallacy. Tracing the causal origins of abstraction reveals that symbolic computation is not an intrinsic physical process. Instead, it is a mapmaker-dependent description. It requires an active, experiencing cognitive agent to alphabetize continuous physics into a finite set of meaningful states."

I just want to highlight the kind of slop that presently is hitting the r/c_programming subreddit. Every single day brings one or more of these kind of posts:
* brand new Reddit username
* brand new Github repo with one giant commit
* entire post and README sounds like a sales pitch
* any followup commits usually just faffing about with markdown in the README (no code updates)
* reinvents some kind of wheel or toy project with no chance of uptake
* no co-contributors or team behind it
* user never replies - or if they do, it's in broken English that is totally incongruous with the README phrasing (and betrays zero understanding of the code)

This one is a bit easier, because the (wrong) URLs point to some kind of AI phone startup or something, which makes it obvious that their well is poisoned

The idea: one binary ("portal") that does almost nothing by itself. It loads modules, routes messages between them via paths, and manages their lifecycle. Everything else — web servers, IoT controllers, database connectors, scripting engines — is a module. Key design decisions: - Everything is a path: /health, /iot/devices, /node/peer1/cache/key - O(1) routing via FNV-1a hash table - Crash isolation: setjmp/longjmp around every module handler call — a segfault in mod_iot doesn't kill the core - Label-based ACL: user.groups ∩ path.labels ≠ ∅ → access granted - 4 scripting engines: Lua (embedded), Python (subprocess), C (gcc+dlopen), Pascal (fpc+dlopen) — same API across all four - Federation: connect instances over TLS, remote paths look local - No external deps in core (embedded libev, sha256, cJSON) 50 modules: CLI, HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, MQTT, WebSocket, IoT (TP-Link KLAP v2), DNS, cron, cache, queues, shared memory, reverse proxy, LDAP, Let's Encrypt, backup, audit log...

$A recent Axios story on maternal health policy referenced "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. On the surface, there's nothing unusual about that. What wasn't originally mentioned, however, was that these findings were made up. Clicking through the links revealed (as did a subsequent editor's note and clarification by Axios) that the public opinion poll was a computer simulation run by the artificial intelligence start-up Aaru. No people were involved in the creation of these opinions. The practice Aaru used is called silicon sampling, and it's suddenly everywhere. The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing. Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use A.I. agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.$

You know that I am mostly concerned with the way the "AI" hype is making global warming worse.

Most people are likely more concerned about economic harms:

- "AI" is depressing wages and income because employers or customers can now claim your skills are worth less, and that you should be more productive [1,2]
- "AI" is causing unemployment, not because it is replacing workers but because companies fund their investment in "AI" by reducing their workforce. [3]

LLMs have no concept of "true" or "good." But they are trained to signal high-quality work. Meanwhile, bosses are pressuring workers: go faster, produce more, let the AI cook.

Study after study documents what this does to the human brain: cognitive surrender. We're "in the loop" but the bot calls the shots.

Really good thread, and a really good blog post, or essay, I should say. I respect the honesty in it, and I understand the standpoint.

However, I want to share a genuinely different experience: using Claude Code and similar tools has actually made coding more enjoyable for me, not less. And I don’t think I’m in denial about that. I've learned a lot more over the past year through GenAI since ever before, and I've been coding for the web almost every day for nearly 30 years.

The difference might come down to how you approach it. If your relationship with the tool turns into just "tapping Y and hoping for the best", then yeah, that IS miserable. But that's not the only way to look at it.

For me, it feels more like having a really fast pair programming partner. I still make the architectural decisions, I still write specs, I still understand why things are the way they are, and I still review everything. And I still code, some. But I no longer need to power through the tedious parts, the boilerplate, the plumbing, the bits I've written hundreds of times. That frees me up to focus on what I actually enjoy: the design, the problem-solving, the features, the "what if we tried this" moments, the drafting, and the documentation.

The drinky bird pipeline is real, and it’s a valid concern but it’s not inevitable. It’s a choice. The tool doesn't make you check out, but it does make it easy to, and that’s something worth being honest about.

Where I completely agree: the systemic concerns don't go away just because individual use can be responsible. And the skill-atrophy risk is real for those still building their foundations. Not everyone is in the same position when picking up these tools.

“In totality, the AI industry seems to have made about $65 billion in revenue (not profit!) in 2025, with I estimate about a third of that being the result of OpenAI or Anthropic feeding money to hyperscalers or neoclouds like CoreWeave, and a billions more being AI startups (funded entirely by VC) feeding money to Anthropic and OpenAI to rent their models.

Even the venture capital scale of AI startups is drastically overestimated. While (as reported by The New York Times) “AI startups” raised $297 billion in the first quarter of 2026, $188 billion of that was taken by OpenAI (which has yet to fully receive the funds!), Anthropic, xAI, and Waymo. In 2025, $425 billion was invested in startups globally, with half of that (about $212.5 billion) going to AI startups, but about half of that ($102 billion) going to Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Scale AI’s not-quite-acquisition by Meta, and Bezos’ Project Prometheus.

The great financial crisis was, as I’ll get into, a literal collapse of how banks, financial institutions, and property businesses operated, with their reckless speculation on a housing market that was only made possible by a craven mortgage industry incentivized to get people to sign at any cost. When people speculated that there was a bubble, articles ran saying that housing was actually cheap, that subprime lending had actually “made the mortgage market more perfect,” that the sky was not falling in the credit markets because unemployment wasn’t going to rise, that subprime mortgages wouldn’t hurt the economy, and that there was no recession coming.”

Microslop says Copilot is for entertainment purposes only, not serious use — firm pushing AI hard to consumers and businesses tells users not to rely on it for important advice

These might be boilerplate disclaimers, but they kind of contradict the company's ads and marketing.

#AI and #LLMs are over. Rejoice that the costly, unimpressive, environmental burdens are a thing of the past.

Why?

Because I have just invented and launched #SAGI. It's here, right now, today. I have beaten #OpenAi, #Nvidia and #Anthropic to #AGI and SAGI surpasses it in every way.

Super Artifical General Intelligence is here, and you'd better get on board or get #LeftBehind.

I have heard the rumours about a new $900 billion venture #Startup claiming they have already surpassed SAGI and I'm telling you right now, this is baseless #marketing #hype.

Nevertheless I have actually just now surpassed SAGI with #USAGI. Upgrade to an Ultra SAGI+ subscription to limit the number of advertisements you see, hear, feel, smell and dream about.

The price of enterprise USAGI++ is going up, unfortunately.

USAGI has the power to do more harm to humans than the threat of nuclear #annihilation and as an inheritor of generational wealth who has never even broken a sweat, I am proud to say that.

This is not a joke. I'm a post-human immaculate. The first unicorn.

Build my throne now please.

The only good news about this, is that "integrating" an #Ai system into your office automation can be as easy as changing the ApiKey in
function_talktoSlop("ApiKey",$prompt)

So you can switch to a non-nazi #Llm later.
That is...if you still have custom code and your IT infrastructure is not infected by the #microslop malware.

#Musk has marketed #Grok as the antidote to political correctness & said his #chatbot would not be “woke,” unlike its competitors. In recent months, Grok has been mired in controversy after sharing #antisemitic #content & praise of Adolf #Hitler as well as generating nonconsensual #sexualized images of #women & #girls. Some countries, including Indonesia & Malaysia, have banned Grok, while others have opened investigations into its spread of sexualized material.

Musk’s agreement with banks is a big score for #SpaceX, which merged with #xAI in February & whose #Grok is a distant 4th in the #AI race behind #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT, #Claude & #Google’s #Gemini.

…Musk’s ability to secure #business from the banks for his #AI #chatbot shows the enormous sway of the world’s richest man over a banking sector clamoring for his business now & into the future.

The banks’ purchases of #Grok subscriptions were not merely good-will gestures, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the arrangements. #Musk insisted that they purchase the chatbot services. He has also asked the banks to advertise on #X, …but was less adamant about that request, acc/to 2 of those people.

If you don’t have the resources to write and understand the code yourself, you don’t have the resources to maintain it either.

Any monkey with a keyboard can write code. Writing code has never been hard. People were churning out crappy code en masse way before generative AI and LLMs. I know because I’ve seen it, I’ve had to work with it, and I no doubt wrote (and continue to write) my share of it.

What’s never been easy, and what remains difficult, is figuring out the right problem to solve, solving it elegantly, and doing so in a way that’s maintainable and sustainable given your means.

Code is not an artefact, code is a machine. Code is either a living thing or it is dead and decaying. You don’t just write code and you’re done. It’s a perpetual first draft that you constantly iterate on, and, depending on what it does and how much of that has to do with meeting the evolving needs of the people it serves, it may never be done. With occasional exceptions (perhaps? maybe?) for well-defined and narrowly-scoped tools, done code is dead code.

So much of what we call “writing” code is actually changing, iterating on, investigating issues with, fixing, and improving code. And to do that you must not only understand the problem you’re solving but also how you’re solving it (or how you thought you were solving it) through the code you’ve already written and the code you still have to write.

So it should come as no surprise that one of the hardest things in development is understanding someone else’s code, let alone fixing it when something doesn’t work as it should. Because it’s not about knowing this programming language or that (learning a programming language is the easiest part of coding), or this framework or that, or even knowing this design pattern or that (although all of these are important prerequisites for comprehension) but understanding what was going on in someone else’s head when they wrote the code the way they wrote it to solve a particular problem.

It frankly boggles my mind that some people are advocating for automating the easy part (writing code) by exponentially scaling the difficult part (understanding how exactly someone else – in this case, a junior dev who knows all the hows of things but none of the whys – decided to solve the problem). It is, to borrow a technical term, ass-backwards.

They might as well call vibe coding duct-tape-driven development or technical debt as a service.

Miguel Afonso Caetano

@remixtures@tldr.nettime.org

“The U.S. — and to some extent China — now has a potentially insurmountable lead in owning the world’s foundational AI models. That doesn’t mean other countries can’t develop their own robust AI ecosystems with fine-tuned technology built on top of those models. It does mean, however, that countries that do so will be increasingly dependent on a small number of American and Chinese firms. That leaves them vulnerable to shifting geopolitical winds and the risk that these companies might one day swallow their global competitors whole.

Even as global leaders and entrepreneurs outside the West scramble for some measure of self-determination by rushing to build their own “sovereign AI” ecosystems from scratch, their fate may be sealed.

“What we’re seeing [is] this kind of grandstanding bluster, like, ‘We can compete. We can build our own AI startup ecosystem,’ which doesn’t feel like it’s fully calling out the elephants in the room,” Kak said.

Just over three years on from the public release of ChatGPT, nearly every data point available about our AI era tells a startling story of geographic resource concentration.”

GOOD: - "Fix race condition in file watcher initialization" - "Add support for custom key bindings" - "Refactor parser for better error messages" BAD (never write these): - "Fix bug found while testing with Claude Capybara" - "1-shotted by claude-opus-4-6" - "Generated with Claude Code" - "Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <…>" ` } return ''

So Anthropic employees are using Claude Code to contribute AI-generated code to open source repositories and hiding the fact using their own internal “undercover mode”.

Totally trustworthy people.

(And open source project that at the very least requires disclosure of AI-authored contributions should immediately ban Anthropic employees on principle.)

Erst wenn die letzte Autorin aufgehört hat, Geschichten zu erzählen, und die letzte Künstlerin einen Job im Supermarkt machen muss, werdet ihr merken, dass AI Fantasie doch nicht ersetzt.

Aber dann wird's zu spät sein.

Remember when a “legitimate argument” peddled against #EVs was the power grid would fail? Too much strain? Oh WOE be to the power lines! Grandma will DIE in her home in August because YOU plugged in!

Yet suddenly we are full steam ahead building #datacenters the size of Manhattan to make banana pics. #AI #slop. And the electric demand will be colossal and constant.

Society and the world needs to stop being fooled and corralled by interests that don’t care about you.

Claude Code source leak reveals how much info Anthropic can hoover up about you and your system

"Anthropic's Claude Code lacks the persistent kernel access of a rootkit. But an analysis of its code shows that the agent can exercise far more control over people's computers than even the most clear-eyed reader of contractual terms might suspect. It retains lots of your data and is even willing to hide its authorship from open-source projects that reject AI."

The PHP internals team has voted 38–4 to deprecate all OOP constructs in PHP 9.0.

Reason: LLMs produce 34% fewer errors on procedural codebases. SOLID principles cause context overload in 78% of tested models. `__construct()` is the #1 source of LLM hallucinations in PHP.

#laravel and #symfony are assessing their roadmaps. WordPress is already compatible.

How are you preparing your codebase?

@zkat putting ethical, environmental and social considerations aside, not because they're secondary concerns, just to look at this from a money perspective, does the AI business plan has even a shred of profitability and ROI?
How much do you think companies and people would be willing to pay to chat with an AI? How much longer until companies realize that 30% of increased speed in software production won't justify the future subscription costs ?
