AI is a scam, Part 1,569
"After years of depicting Klarna as an AI-first company, the fintech’s CEO reversed himself, telling Bloomberg the company was once again recruiting humans after the AI approach led to “lower quality.” An IBM survey reveals this is a common occurrence for AI use in business, where just 1 in 4 projects delivers the return it promised and even fewer are scaled up."

This morning I went to protest against the Israeli #Genocide of the Palestinian people on occasion of the Israeli president Herzog visiting #Berlin and being hosted by the German president #Steinmeier. It tells a lot about the complicity of the German public that we were a grand total of six people holding rather lame signs (on account of a near total ban on permissible language)! at least the authorities feared us enough to delegate some thirty cops to move us out of sight.

Simple Blogging Tips And Insights Every Blogger Needs To Know
Occasionally, I receive questions or comments about blogging and social media that inspire me to share key insights with my readers. Here are three recent examples of those topics. Hopefully, you’ll learn something from them.
How to get less spam!
In my recent post, “Astonishing! Some Bloggers Disable Comments on Their Blogs. Why?” many readers mentioned that they turn off comments due to the overwhelming number of spam comments that often come through. This is a valid concern! However, it’s worth noting that WordPress offers a setting that can help prevent you from seeing most spam comments. Activating this feature is simple.
- On your blog’s dashboard, go to Jetpack – Akismet Anti-spam.
- On the page that opens, look for the Settings box. Under Spam Filtering, ensure ‘Silently discard the worst and most pervasive spam so I never see it‘ is selected.
- Click the ‘Save changes‘ button.
You’ll now see much less spam in your blog’s spam folder. On average, I’m seeing no more than a few spam comments every week.
For more details, check out my post, ‘Turn This Setting On To Stop Seeing Too Much Spam On Your WordPress Blog.’
How do you find the people you want to follow?
Author Liz Gauffreau recently left a comment on my post, ‘The Ultimate Guide to Engaging on Bluesky: Tips, Features, and Strategies for Success,’ saying she was struggling to find other users on Bluesky who read or write literary fiction.
I asked Liz if she had checked out the Bluesky Starter Pack directory, where users can search for other users with similar interests. I included a link to the directory. This is how Liz replied.
If you’re a Bluesky user, I recommend checking out the information about Starter Packs. They are an excellent way to discover other bloggers, writers, authors, photographers, and more. Starter Packs are also great for getting noticed and connecting with other users. Click the following link.
What are Bluesky Starter Packs?
And click the following link to check the Bluesky Starter Pack directory I sent to Liz.
Bluesky Starter Pack Directory.
I recently passed a milestone on Bluesky: getting over 5,000 followers. Given that I’ve only been on Bluesky since November 2024 and it took me nearly 12 years to reach 9,000 followers on X, I can’t emphasise enough how every blogger and writer should consider using Bluesky.
If you haven’t already, give Bluesky a go.
How to stop the theme you’re using from crashing your blog.
Amanda, who blogs at ForestWood, recently published a post titled ‘It’s Time For A Change Of Theme.’ She was referring to a change of blog theme. I’d recently published a post about WordPress themes, so I was interested in what Amanda had to say. Needless to say, Amanda’s post inspired me (and many others) to leave a comment.
You’ll have to read Amanda’s post to find out what she and I had to say, but it contained an important lesson some readers may have forgotten or may not know about regarding WordPress themes. Do not attempt to change your WordPress blog’s theme unless you’re using a theme still supported by WordPress.
If, like Amanda, you are using a retired theme and click ‘activate’ on any of the current themes WordPress offers, you won’t be able to return to your retired theme!
If you are using a retired WordPress theme that isn’t causing you any issues, you can continue using it. However, be cautious, as there are drawbacks to using a retired theme, including those related to online security. For more information, check out my recent post, “WordPress Themes: Something Exciting Is Happening,” which provides further details.
Let’s wrap it up!
- Use WordPress’s Jetpack – Akismet Anti-spam feature to significantly reduce spam comments. By enabling the option to “silently discard the worst and most pervasive spam,” users can keep their spam folder manageable.
- Use the Bluesky Starter Pack Directory to connect with other users with similar interests. This resource helps you discover other bloggers, writers, authors and photographers and gain visibility.
- If you are thinking of changing the theme of your WordPress blog, be aware that if the current theme you are using is retired and no longer supported by WordPress, you won’t be able to return to it.
Do you have any questions about blogging or social media? Leave them in the comments section.

I’m getting tough with non-engaging comments. Comments such as ‘Nice post’ are marked as spam.

Another "AI" coding assistant review from the actual field "But for anything more nontrivial, I found it took me more time to validate the code and fix the numerous big and subtle errors than it saved me."
(Original title: Martin Pitt: Testing sourcery.ai and GitHub Copilot for cockpit PR reviews)
This absolutely reflected my experience and is why I turned off Copilot. The time it saved in typing obvious things was not offset by the time I wasted debugging subtle and hard-to-spot bugs that it introduced.
The most depressing thing was that it wasn't even good at things I'd expect a token predictor to be good at. Our coding conventions specify parameter orders that are consistent across subsystems. I expected that something parsing our code would be able to learn this and give subtle hints to enforce it (autocomplete functions and calls with the parameters in the right order). Instead, the autocompletions would randomly swap parameters at call sites and were completely inconsistent in naming things and parameter order for generated functions.
The one thing that it was useful for was identifying missing abstractions. If Copilot could fill in an entire function body, the APIs it was calling were missing an abstraction.

who is this "we" you speak of? Millions out here trashing the hell out of these utter fools and their scams, but -some people- just keep ignoring us.
Also: Forcing ridiculous ideas onto other folks using flimsy pretexts has always been the authoritarian way, whether it is done with tanks, or with VC money and PR campaigns flooding the zone.
That needs to be seen more clearly by more people. Sorry if I sound peevish about it.

Our fellow humans in our various endeavors. I've been in the "private sector" for decades, mostly large corp. The number of decision-makers who assume/hope the tool they just bought/consultant they just hired will simply magically work w/no further thought required.
Sometimes it's because they have no bandwidth (being charitable) to figure out the real solution, but, to be fair, sometimes they need an outside consultant to overcome internal resistance.

IMHO, the reason we can’t have nice things are because of biases, fallacies, and prejudices:
- sunk cost
- ego
- motivated reasoning

in reply to Gerry McGovern • • •The last 2 paragraphs from that article are a glimpse into an heart of pure evil:
"Today, that customer support channel is hiring again: CEO Siemiatkowski said Klarna has two new agents acting as freelance customer support. It’s also piloting an “Uber type of setup” that lets the workers choose their own schedules and work from anywhere in Sweden, where Klarna is based, at pay starting at 400 Swedish krona ($41.17). Some of these agents, Siemiatkowski said, could even be customers.
“We also know there are tons of Klarna users that are very passionate about our company and would enjoy working for us,” he told Bloomberg."
Customer support is already hard on workers without further backend enshittification.
