The Fragmentation of AI Adoption

There is such a scattergun reaction to the capabilities of AI and what it can genuinely do for us. All I have to do is scroll through LinkedIn... On the one hand, you have people actually building tools and creating software with it, developers using it to speed up writing code, and identifying genuine problems & challenges where it can be useful such as scientific and medical research. Then you have people burning through credits saying I got Claude to make GTA V in a browser! or I made a compu...

The Nuance Of AI Detection

Back in April 2024, I wrote a piece entitled [Artificial] Intelligence, which looked at the less than delicate diversity overcorrection of AI generative outputs from the likes of Google's Gemini. Now in 2026, despite the release of the EU's AI Labelling system we are still seeing a different kind of sensitivity issue. This time it's a lack of one, from various third party AI detection tools. You see, whilst digital infrastructure is very much binary, the level of application a user / designer / ...

#oneaday Day 838: A shitty new trend

One of the most irritating new developments in the world of generative AI is the use of "agents" to spam you. This can take numerous forms; earlier today, Luke Plunkett of Aftermath shared an AI "pitch" he had received via email, Frank Cifaldi of the Video Game History Foundation shared something similar, and of late...

#oneaday Day 836: Torrent of slop

It feels like pretty much every day for the last few months we've seen a story that claims some game or other has been translated for the first time ever, or ported to PC for the first time ever... and I feel like a good nine times out of every ten of these projects that...

LLMs Democratize Extraction and Scale Malice

Responding to Coyote's essay on data ownership, I look at how genAI has democratized the kind of extraction that once required corporate infrastructure—iLands spam agents, scrapers, and agent swarms—why my apathy-and-ignorance approach to AI crawlers is no longer enough, the two competing realities of AI 2027, and the tools and organizing we actually have: ai.robots.txt, Glaze and Nightshade, tech-worker unions, and the CARE and OCAP principles of Indigenous data governance.

I, CEO: How Medium.com went from being anti-AI to pro-AI

Medium.com went from a defiant anti-AI holdout—blocking GPTBot, rejecting a multimillion-dollar training deal, banning AI writing from monetization—to launching an AI licensing standard and its own AI writing app under CEO Tony Stubblebine. What happens when one man's changing mind becomes a platform's policy, and why I'm still staying.

Love is for the ones who love the work.

Taking the final line of Joseph Fasano's poem 'For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper' as a starting point, I argue that loving the verb of creation matters more than daydreaming the noun. There's a wide chasm between writing discipline and the seduction of genAI shortcuts. The only way forward is to start doing the work—badly, bravely, and now.

Debian's recent vote to permit genAI contributions, alongside the questions raised by the IndieWeb is Punk manifesto, leads me to reflect on the harm-reduction case, the deskilling of creators, the NFT-like grift of genAI output, and the Potemkin village of an industry that has yet to find profitability.

There are a number of things I want to talk about today, and I was agonising over which one of them to talk about. But then I thought there is absolutely no reason I can't talk about all of them in one post, so that's exactly what I'm going to do. Hold on to your...

The EU Wanted A Deepfake Detector. It Got An AI Scarlet Letter.

I spoke a little about this on last week's Ctrl-Alt-Speech, but now that Anthropic has come out with more details about how its text watermarking works, the debate has shifted into overdrive. Many people are upset about it, even though it appears that Google has already been doing something similar with the output from Gemini....

The Orange Scribble Problem

I’ve been rebuilding DUSK as a local-first application. DUSK is my attempt to make a practical lighting visualisation tool using generative AI. You upload an image, select an area and describe a lighting treatment: uplight the columns, wash the ceiling, turn the scene into night, add concealed light beneath a bench. The original version relied heavily on Google Gemini. That was useful for getting a prototype working quickly, especially as I am a lighting designer who has somehow wandered into so...

#oneaday Day 767: Why I continue to write in an age of AI

I read a good piece earlier that got me thinking: why do I continue to tap out words here, day after day, in an age where those odious "Generate with AI" buttons are ubiquitous, whether you want them or not? (Even here in my own self-hosted version of WordPress, I cannot escape the "Improve with...

#oneaday Day 742: Crash and burn

There is increasing talk of the video games industry staring down an honest-to-goodness crash -- and this time around, unlike the notorious Great Global Video Game Crash of North America from 1983, it looks very much like it could be one that will happen across the world. All this said, I feel like, at this...

Mo’ Code, Mo’ Problems

One of the truisms I learned early in my career is that every line of code you write is a liability as much as it is an asset. Every line of code you (or your team) writes is a line of code that must be maintained, a line of code that potentially exposes a security...
