As anyone who has ever seen anything I have created knows: I am not a designer. So take my reasoning and thinking here with a grain of salt. I do have many designers amongst my friends and I do think that a lot of software engineering falls within the domain of design to a certain […]| Smashing Frames
The hype about the potentials (it’s always future potential, never real current use) of AI has discarded its last cycle (“reasoning models”/”deep research”, both terms being factually untrue and deeply deceiving at best) and moved to a new double whammy of “agentic AI” and “Vibe Coding”. Now “agentic AI” basically just means that some LLM […]| Smashing Frames
There’s this weird phrase “agentic AI” which looks weid. But it’s a sign for how bad the state of the bubble is: Software agents are a very old concept, they are simple systems provided with a target function to optimize that operate somewhat autonomously. This fits in well with modern “AI” systems who can be […]| Smashing Frames
When people talk about “AI” these days – which depending on how healthy and well-adjusted your social environment is can be very little or if you are on LinkedIn all the fucking time – the main focus is on what is called “generative AI”, sometimes shortened to “genAI”. Generative AI (in the way most people […]| Smashing Frames
I was on a panel on “AI” yesterday (was in German so I don’t link it i this post, specifics don’t matter too much) and a phrase came up that stuck with me on my way home (riding a bike is just the best thing for thinking). That phrase was AI systems are just tools […]| Smashing Frames
After sharing Ed Zitron’s latest piece called “OpenAI Is A Systemic Risk To The Tech Industry” I got a few responses arguing in a similar way: People agree that “AI” and especially “generative AI” is a massive bubble that does not really make much sense – if you imply rational decision making. Training the models, […]| Smashing Frames
For a research project I am currently evaluating all kinds of generative AI models (mostly for visual artifacts but some text based ones as well). There also is somewhat of a push at my employer to use those systems more because of “efficiency”. So we all know that LLMs fabricate facts, meaning: They produce text […]| Smashing Frames
Mit bis zu 200 Milliarden Euro will die Kommission die Entwicklung von KI in der Union anschieben. Davon sollen 20 Milliarden Euro für bis zu fünf neue “KI Gigafactories” zur Verfügung stehen.

The Open Source Initiative is doing … something again, now it’s working against regulation protecting people from certain uses of AI systems: In particular, previous drafts of the Code of Practice mandated acceptable use policies, and a prohibition of certain uses of the AI system. But having these restrictions conflicts with the freedom of use […]| Smashing Frames
