Kim Crawley 😷 (she/her)

Share! 🎉🎉 I'm just a former cybersecurity professor who quit her job because the Open Institute of Technology was going to force me to subject my students to Gen AI. Kickstarter is my sole source of income for the time being, and I'm really struggling financially. I wrote books for O'Reilly and Wiley, and now I write self published books criticizing Big Tech. I have an excellent track record with Kickstarter campaigns. Gen AI will end. The laws of physics can't sustain datacentres. Financial bubble. Model collapse. I cite MIT, UN, and Harvard Science Review. What will we do in the aftermath to recover from massive population psychological damage, environmental destruction, tech debt, abandoned datacentres? Pledge as low as about $12 USD for an eBook. Share! 🎉🎉 #NoAI Kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimcrawley/recovering-after-gen-ai

Please share! 🎉

I'm looking for professionals in a variety of areas to interview for my upcoming book, Recovering After Gen AI.

With their expertise, they should hopefully have theories or educated guesses as to what might happen in the wake of Gen AI's demise.

So obviously, clankers/techbros need not apply.

If you are in one of these professions or know people who are, please let me know:

• Psychologists (in regards to cognitive and psychological harm)
• Engineers (dealing with abandoned datacentres, e-waste, damaged electrical and computing infrastructure, tech debt, related topics)
• Technicians (dealing with abandoned datacentres, e-waste, damaged electrical and computing infrastructure, tech debt, related topics)
• Developers and IT (tech debt, bugs, related areas)
• Sociologists (societal harm done by chatbots, AI image slop "revenge porn" and CSAM, loss of job skills in the population, related areas)
• Economists (no University of Chicago types, please, and Marxists preferred)
• Artists and other creatives (harm done to culture by Gen AI)

Share! 🎉 🎉 #Fedihire #FediHired #GetFediHired Hey, I'm going to give this a try. I have written tons of blogs, whitepapers, books, and ad copy for tech companies about cybersecurity and general enterprise IT. See my portfolio: https://kimcrawley.com I used to make a comfortably liveable income. But since the Gen AI menace, my livelihood has been destroyed and I can't pay my rent. I'm now writing Kickstarter funded self published books to survive. I could really use proper writing gigs, though. Some of the bestselling cybersecurity books, such as The Pentester Blueprint, were partly or completely written by me.

"If it was opt in, nobody would opt in."

(Don't they mean, if it was opt out?)

Mozilla could have said the exact same thing. And yet, a lot of gullible people here were singing their praises for their quickly coming up with a lie about how they'd implement an "AI killswitch" when they faced public outcry for announcing that they're becoming an "AI first browser" last December.

Ask yourself this:

1. If they were truly serious about the "killswitch," why did they just blurt it out in response to the backlash that obviously surprised them?

2. People I know who actually audit web browser behavior soon found that the "killswitch" really didn't do much, only disabling a few subtle things "AI" in their browser is allowed to do, at best. Why would such an evil fucking "feature" that's rapidly accelerating climate destruction and fucking many different facets of modern life up... be opt out?

3. Why the fuck would such a nasty fucking thing be in a web browser in the first place?

4. And considering all that, a lot of the fools who sung Mozilla's praises for the supposed "killswitch" also saw how their reps on Mastodon tried to pretend that it's necessary for translation. To deliberately confuse people about such a nasty fucking "feature" that's sucking all the fresh water out of the Earth, and by no coincidence, also gives the most evil shitheads on Earth easier access to your sensitive data, all while encouraging you to delegate your thinking to their technofascist slop bot. And after all that, you still trust them?

I know exactly what's going on. Because Google deliberately destroyed their search, it fucked up Mozilla's monetization model for Firefox. Which was to receive payment from Google to make Google Search default.

New CEO walks in, and probably wears invisible Saville Row suits, surrounded by sycophants. "Google's all in on the torment nexus, so now, so are we! AI FIRST BROWSER! Papa needs a second yacht!"

I don't know about you, but if a CEO announces loudly and proudly that they're jumping on a massively evil bandwagon, completely changing the stated purpose of their web browser while being certain doing this shit will make him even wealthier...

I wouldn't be so naive to assume that their "killswitch" was anything but a lie blurted out in panic, to be designed to function as a placebo for gullible fools.

But then again, I'm not a sucker ripe for exploitation as society crumbles further and further.

Yes, I know this is about Twitch. I'm about to cancel my account there. Thanks for the heads up.

PS: I know that @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net devs are working hard to keep evil shit from Chrome out of their browser, and I'm using Vivaldi right now. And that also applies to Vanadium. Same goes for @librewolf@chaos.social and @tor when it comes to Firefox.

Until we have an engine that's totally independent of Google and Mozilla, those are your best web browser options. Vanadium is the Chrome fork that's exclusive to GrapheneOS, but LibreWolf is available for the vast majority of desktop OSes, and Vivaldi and Tor are available on nearly all widely used desktop and mobile OSes.

Share! 🎉 #NoAI A lot of you have pledged in the past few days. That's wonderful. I'm so appreciative. My self published books through Kickstarter are my sole source of income for the time being, as Gen AI literally did rid me of my livelihood. Because I do freelance research and writing about cybersecurity and tech in general. I used to have a very livable income up until 2024 or so. And my freelancing peers have similar stories to tell. The massive economic and workforce harms of Gen AI are within the scope of Recovering After Gen AI. So if you could please share this campaign on your social media, I would greatly appreciate it. To save you spoons, if you don't want to write something original, absolutely do not use an LLM. Please! I know that should be obvious, but I've been greatly dismayed by willingly Gen AI using supposed "anti AI" activists and also maskless supposed Covid activists. Instead, you may copy and paste what I've written here: -- The nightmare of Gen AI will end soon, no matter how often techbros say "AI is here, get used to it!" MIT researchers and Harvard meta-analysis say the datacentres are unsustainable according to the laws of physics. The financial bubble will pop. And here's also model collapse. There will be so much environmental, societal, and economic destruction in it's wake. The Recovering After Gen AI book will examine that. Last 48 hours! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimcrawley/recovering-after-gen-ai/ -- I have begun interviewing subject matter experts for my book. Surprisingly, a professor of astronomy from the University of Regina has joined my list of sources. And I've reached out to scientists behind the "Your Brain on ChatGPT" study too. In the end, at least a couple of dozen of experts from various fields will be my real human knowledge sources for the book. -- I've been asked about the backer rewards that include dedications. When do you get to tell me which name to use? No worries, all backers will receive a backer survey soon, via email. And backers who have rewards with dedications will be asked for what name you'd like me to use. Please give me that information as a response to your backer survey, and not by emailing me or messaging me with it. My ADHD very much likes having all the names to use in the spreadsheet that's made from your backer survey results. (All backer information is kept private between me and Kickstarter. But a dedication name in a book is public, obviously.) -- You can enjoy two of the Recovering After Gen AI webinars via YouTube and PeerTube. They feature Pivot to AI tech critic David Gerard and software developer tech critic Stephen Farrugia. David Gerard https://youtu.be/-RSV0H9z3kQ Stephen Farrugia https://youtu.be/OSKmJ8cQnno

Tomorrow! Share! 🎉 The fifth and final Recovering After Gen AI webinar is with Faster and Worse’s Stephen Farrugia. @fasterandworse@hci.social Gen AI will end soon because the bubble will pop and the top scientists I cite say datacentres are unsustainable according to the laws of physics, plus the Mad Cow disease of data, model collapse. What will we do about the aftermath? Environmental destruction? Millions of cognitively dependent people having nervous breakdowns? Massive skills loss in the workforce? An entire generation unable to enter it? Saturday, August 1st 6pm CEST, Noon EDT, 9am PDT Free-of-charge, no registration. Go to https://stopgenai.com/mymeeting for public Zoom link on the day of the event,) (There will now be an “AI”-free Zoom link provided due to problems with Jitsi. Zoom link will be posted to https://stopgenai.com/mymeeting imminently.) #NoAI

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jcoglan/116975877284598252 Doctorow was trying to convince me that Gen AI does spellcheck better and supposedly fixing typos has nothing to do with editing! 🙃 I have all the screenshots. And he couldn't out argue me, so he reverted to what all rightwing dudebro techbros say when they have no argument. "Facts don't care about your feelings!" 🫠🫠🫠🫠 You see, he is a rightwing dudebro techbro in disguise. As I said, I have all the screenshots. Spread the message far and wide. Doctorow is as appropriate of a voice for "anti AI" as Ashton Kutcher was for sexual assault victims (look up his former "charity" Thorn, and his defense of Danny Masterson.) #NoAI

Share! 🎉🎉 #NoAI So the campaign for Recovering After Gen AI will end in less than a day, 19 hours. We've exceeded the $6000 CAD I was hoping for on Monday. Wow! I'm immensely grateful to my backers I have started writing the book, and I've been interviewing a few scientists and technicians gradually, over email. This campaign is my sole source of income for the time being because of how Gen AI has negatively impacted my livelihood as someone who researches and writes about cybersecurity as a freelancer. I'm really grateful to all of my backers and you have done enough. But if you want to be extra helpful, please share this campaign on your social media. Here's something you can copy and paste if you don't want to write something on your own: -- The nightmare of Gen AI will end soon, no matter how often techbros say "AI is here, get used to it!" MIT researchers and Harvard meta-analysis say the datacentres are unsustainable according to the laws of physics. The financial bubble will pop. And here's also model collapse. There will be so much environmental, societal, and economic destruction in it's wake. The Recovering After Gen AI book will examine that. Last 19 hours! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimcrawley/recovering-after-gen-ai/ -- Thank you so much, everyone! I'm well on track for October publication so far. And your support really motivates me to do the best research that I can. -- You can check out my campaign for Recovering After Gen AI here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimcrawley/recovering-after-gen-ai Thank you so much, everyone. ❤️

Taylor Lorenz, who thinks the Gen Z movement to use "dumb" phones is some dangerous conspiracy, uses Gen AI willingly. 🙃 Interviewer: "How much do you spend on AI tools every month?" Taylor Lorenz: "Probably about $300 a month." 🙃 #NoAIhttps://on.substack.com/p/model-behavior-taylor-lorenz

RE: https://zeroes.ca/@kimcrawley/116958054984882249 For the record, if you're a consultant and your client asks how they can acquire more ChatGPT visibility, you tell them why they must avoid Gen AI. You don't fucking say "I will help you improve your ChatGPT visbility!" As this author correctly writes: "We have rejected all AI implementation work. It is absolutely a gigantic bubble and we have minimized our exposure to it – every single one of our current contracts would be totally unaffected by OpenAI collapsing, save for perhaps some second-order effects such a recession causing a client to become unable to pay us. And there’s nothing we can do to insulate ourselves from that anyway. One of the most valuable rules I’ve heard, from Gerry Weinberg, is that consulting is influencing people at their request. Unless someone has indicated that they want us to stick my nose in, usually by explicitly saying they want guidance on general data strategy, we just let the projects fail in peace. You can barely recognize me, I’m so calm these days." https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-global-decision-making/ Employees forced to use Gen AI by their evil bosses for their survival income job get a pass from me. But consultants are supposed to say NO when a client says "I wanna use the planet destroying torment nexus bot!" Fucking traitor, Matt Tutt. #NoAI

RE: https://zeroes.ca/@kimcrawley/116957567981962022 What a total fucking disappointment. I simply asked Matt Tutt to introduce himself and he talks about how he helps his SEO clients use ChatGPT! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 As I said privately, this isn't like an employee being forced to use Gen AI at their survival income job. Matt is a consultant and he could advise his clients to steer clear of Gen AI. Environmental destruction with every "prompt." Oh, your client is a food bank? Poor people who live near Gen AI datacentres are being tormented by noise pollution, sent electricity bills that are a decade of income for them, and polluting their air. Meanwhile, in the developing world, poor people are forced to work psychologically torturous jobs to screen Gen AI for CSAM and other disturbing shit. Traitor. ＷTF is up with supposed "anti AI" people who want to tell me how they use Gen AI the very moment I offer them trust and our Stop Gen AI platform?! #NoAI

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@atax1a/116953591553796232 It "democratizes" draining all of the fresh water from the Earth. It "democratizes" encouraging people to stop thinking and start letting the technofascist bot think on their behalf.

Everyone should move over from GitHub to Codeburg. Strong anti "AI" stance that even mentions environmental destruction and destroying developer trust. #NoAIhttps://blog.codeberg.org/protecting-our-floss-commons-from-llms.html

RE: https://mastodon.social/@sarahjamielewis/116959351439255445

Look back at my Mastodon history and you'll see I was never fooled by Mozilla's "AI killswitch." I was warning people not to be fooled, to not trust Mozilla, and people yelled at me.

• "We're now an AI first browser!"

• "Boo!"

• "Umm. Okay. We will deploy an 'AI killswitch' by early 2026! The Gen AI technofascist torment nexus is default in Firefox and opt out, but it totally will work, guys! Even though AI slop is our new revenue model now that Google Search doesn't really exist anymore (who were paying us to make Google default search in Firefox)."

• "Yay! We trust you now! We love you, Mozilla!"

An evil, planet destroying monstrosity that encourages people to delegate their thinking to a technofascist bot that says there are 27 Rs in strawberry shouldn't even be an "option" in a web browser. Any company even considering that is evil.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@JulianOliver/116922689814829744

People should just ditch everything Mozilla, period.

The number of total fucking suckers falling for the supposed "killswitch" in Firefox horrifies me.

1. Evil thing shouldn't even be an option, let alone opt out.

2. Do you really think the new Mozilla CEO would declare "we're an AI first browser!' and then not shove it down your throat?! Were you born yesterday or does acknowledging that the vast majority of tech companies are technofascist disturb you too much to face reality?!

Yes, even scrappy little upstarts turn technofascist. Activision was originally a handful of Atari 2600 developers who simply wanted credit for their programming work. Mozilla being founded by former Netscape devs wanting to do something less corporate means fuck all. Google was a scrappy little project by a couple of Stanford students on campus and their motto used to be "don't be evil."

Tomorrow! It's a Big Tech critic who's actually consistent in his beliefs! David Gerard sees the financial bubble behind Gen AI popping by 2027. I look at research from MIT, the UN, and Harvard which confirms that the monstrous, planet destroying datacentres that our evil tech overlords demand are unsustainable according to the laws of physics... And there's also model collapse. How are we going to recover humanity and society from the immense environmental, economic, sociological, and psychological destruction caused by Gen AI? Tomorrow! Go here, ignore the embedded Jitsi app, and find the public Zoom link. Which will be posted there tomorrow. No registration necessary, and I definitely turned all the nasty AI shit off. #NoAI @davidgerard@circumstances.runhttps://stopgenai.com/recovering-after-gen-ai-webinars/ https://stopgenai.com/mymeeting/

RE: https://beige.party/@capn_b/116587812853008761 This is what "responsible AI" is. See Bernie Sanders' plan to make sure ordinary Americans get $1000/year from the planet destroying torment nexus that depletes the Earth of fresh water and encourages people to delegate their thinking to machines controlled by Elon Musk and Sam Altman. Bernie will make sure a tiny amount of the profits goes to each American! $1000/year isn't enough money for a poor person to move away from a Gen AI datacentre. It's even lower than the monthly electricity bills they receive now. For the wealthy's waste of electricity.

Every "prompt" removes fresh water from the Earth, rapidly accelerates climate disaster, and psychologically tortures the poor people who live near datacentres and poor people in the developing world who are paid pennies to screen CSAM, etc. There's absolutely zero excuse for a consultant to advise clients in using such an evil, destructive thing, that doesn't even output anything good.

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/116995146478021457 I agree that the CEO of Shopify is a fascist, and retailers should stop using Shopify. But there is no Canadian "democracy" to destroy. Canada was never truly a democracy, and nor is the US and other capitalist countries. Before you scream at me, both Princeton research and Indigenous insight backs me up. And although these citations are about the US, they apply to Canada, the UK, etc. for the same reasons. "Choosing" between multiple party colours of billionaire serving politicians is no democracy. I spent 20 years on the inside of the NDP, volunteering, and the NDP is also a neoliberal party, the leadership isn't "left" at all.

Some people hate me, some people like and respect me Because I take a stand, I have strong and consistent moral principles. You get rejected from spaces, Matt, because you think you can compromise between evil and fighting evil. By my fighting evil, I piss evil people off. But the people opposing evil then respect me. Take a wishy washy stance between evil and opposing evil, and "both sides" will reject you. Absolutely, Matt. BTW, he is talking about "helping" mental health charities gain visibility through ChatGPT, but he's too much of a fucking coward to use anything but vague and elusive language.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@dalias/116918967957092538 We got one of those "lesser evil" liberals here. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 "The idea of a ballot being capable of reducing the harm in a system rooted in colonial domination and exploitation, white supremacy, hetero-patriarchy, and capitalism is an extraordinary exaggeration. There is no person whose lives aren’t impacted everyday by these systems of oppression, but instead of coded reformism and coercive “get out the vote” campaigns towards a “safer” form of settler colonialism, we’re asking “what is the real and tragic harm and danger associated with perpetuating colonial power and what can be done to end it? Voting as practiced under U.S. “democracy” is the process with which people (excluding youth under the age of 18, convicted felons, those the state deems “mentally incompetent,” and undocumented folx including permanent legal residents), are coerced to choose narrowly prescribed rules and rulers. The anarchist collective Crimethinc observes, “Voting consolidates the power of a whole society in the hands of a few politicians.” When this process is conducted under colonial authority, there is no option but political death for Indigenous Peoples. In other words, voting can never be a survival strategy under colonial rule. It’s a strategy of defeat and victimhood that protracts the suffering and historical harm induced by ongoing settler colonialism. And while the harm reduction sentiment may be sincere, even hard won marginal reforms gained through popular support can be just as easily reversed by the stroke of a politician’s pen. If voting is the democratic participation in our own oppression, voting as harm reduction is a politics that keeps us at the mercy of our oppressors." https://www.indigenousaction.org/voting-is-not-harm-reduction-an-indigenous-perspective/ Fucking asshole Zohran Mamdani claimed to be pro Palestinian and yet appointed a ZIONIST BILLIONAIRE to run the NYPD. Your cognitive dissonance is exhausting.

"'AI is just a tool', yeah, well, so is meth. Several militaries distributed it to their front-line soldiers to enable them to fight for longer. It's also an FDA approved medication for treatment-resistant ADHD.

Yet if I gave all my employees unlimited free meth, created a leaderboard where whoever uses the most meth each month gets a bonus, then fired everyone who refused to engage in mandatory meth smoking, I think the investors might have some question."

The tool is stupid, and not for whatever the fuck you're doing with it."

Here's the PeerTube version of the webinar David Gerard and I did on Saturday. Brand new! Share! 🎉 @davidgerard@circumstances.run -- David Gerard, the creator of Pivot to AI, joined Kim Crawley to discuss how we can recover after Gen AI. And the aftermath is soon, no matter how often fools and bootlickers say "AI is here to stay, get used to it!" David concluded from data that the horrific financial bubble will pop by 2027, perhaps when SoftBank and venture capitalists quit desperately propping it up with more billions of dollars despite the expenses being orders of magnitude greater than revenue from consumers and business clients. I add that research from people at MIT, the United Nations, and Harvard Science Review's meta analysis concludes that Gen AI datacentres are literally unsustainable according to the laws of physics. I link to that research on my Kickstarter page. And there's model collapse, which is like Mad Cow disease for data. What will we do about the immense environmental destruction, psychological damage, societal harms, economic destruction, power grid damage, and tech debt in its wake? That's what we discussed. Webinar is to promote Recovering After Gen AI, the book. Kickstarter campaign ends on August 5th, 2026: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimcrawley/recovering-after-gen-ai/ https://stopgenai.com And please check out and support David Gerard and Pivot to AI: https://pivot-to-ai.com/ @PivotToAI@www.youtube.com -- https://peertube.wtf/w/pVQZ8R7k2vothjLwWikvzM
