@larisa-a-white.bsky.social hi, maybe this is interesting for the book on human learning you are working on www.frontiersin.org/journals/art...

They open and close you Then they talk like they know you They don't know you … So why does it come as such a shock? To know you really have no one Only a river of changing faces Looking for an ocean - Trouble Child, Joni Mitchell www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

If you liked Guest et al.’s arguments, you might also be interested in the paper we wrote with @javisamo.bsky.social et al. a year ago about the official report from the Spanish Association of University Deans on the use of AI (in Spanish, accepted for publication): papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I wrote a response to Thomas Friedman's "magical thinking" on AI here: aiguide.substack.com/p/magical-th...

Los fanboys escriben dos tipos de columnas: las que describen el futuro que tendremos gracias a la IA y las que explican la IA de hoy. Unas están llenas de exageraciones, disparates y delirios religiosos. Las otras dicen lo mismo pero ambientando la historia en el futuro en vez de en el presente.

Ezra Klein isn’t theorizing Charlie Kirk. He is theorizing politics. And he is saying that Charlie Kirk’s brand of white supremacy was a good way of doing politics. I hope you all recognize now that Ezra is a total fucking ghoul

Escuela pública, siempre. Mis padres. Mi hermana y yo. Mis hijas.

La subida de la ultraderecha es lo que pasa cuando hay pobreza, criminalidad, desempleo, corrupción, desigualdad... en fin, todos esos problemas sociales y económicos como los que aquejan a Noruega, vamos. elpais.com/internaciona...

Milei loses big time by 13 points but promises to continue the austerity measures that “lifted 12 million people out of poverty”, which is absurd unless one accepts the statistical fictions of a sociopathic government led by a market fundamentalist. english.elpais.com/internationa...

Sube el dolar y como el entorno de Milei espera perder las elecciones del domingo que viene, el gobierno interviene para que evitar suba. Hace de “mano invisible” para que el mercado se “autoregule”, los giles sigan con su mitología y ellos destruyéndolo todo. www.eldiarioar.com/economia/gob...

the ABSOLUTE GALL of the "ai overview" scolding people about their SEARCH TERMS we are in a software consent crisis

I poked around for a more in-depth read about this and found this: thebsdetector.substack.com/p/ai-materia...

Créanme si les digo que este brillante juego de palabras “AI-bus” no sale de un artículo escrito por un becario del Marca con ChatGPT sino de la última columna de un profesor de una muy conocida escuela de negocios conocido por su afición al hype.

@xabibenputa.bsky.social al ver esta muestra de la ingeniería española aplicada al cumplimiento de normativas y estándares de seguridad me he acordado de ti

Here we go again. The implication here is that the way AI generates its output is with human-like cognition. Which is untrue. "Cognitive capabilities humans have" is not the same is "outputs comparable to those of humans." www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

“Today’s large language models, by contrast, draw on their vast database of past chess games to predict which move feels right.” Databases?! Predict which move feels right?! This is so absurd. The whole piece is bonkers.

Como el “no hay marcha en Nueva York / y los jamones son de York” de Mecano. Solo un ejemplo de muchos.

David F. Noble wrote in the early ’80s about the compulsions and enthusiasm in the managerial class that drove the adoption of automation technology in previous decades, but it also perfectly describes today’s GenAI FOMO as well. (Progress without people, 1995,, p. 95.)

¡No tiene formación! ¡No tiene ética! ¡No se la pierdan!

La cifra del daño a las arcas públicas es importante pero no es lo que más importa. Lo que más importa es el daño principal, y este es inconmensurable en términos económicos porque la redacción de leyes a medida socava los fundamentos de la democracia como forma de vida en común.

Useful thread on the finances of AI.

Today the OpenAI Nonprofit Commission released a report asserting OpenAI is ‘positioned to be a force of good in this Age of Intelligence’. The report also claims that AI Now was among the orgs participating in the listening process that led to this report. We did not.

Someone should revisit Brooks’s law (“Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later”) with a focus on AI. I think it will still hold.

Dato sentífico: el 98% de los reportajes en la tele española sobre “cómo la gente disfruta del verano” son una apología del alcoholismo.

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

Mamdani does what I've been calling constructive politics: appeals to identity as a building block of solidarity rather than a replacement for it. love to see it

More applied misanthropy:

Yes: "Part of our task in the face of [GenAI] is to make an argument for the value of thinking–laboured, painful, frustrating thinking...the student skipping those steps is costing themselves experience & expertise in problem solving, crucial abilities for living, not to mention working or studying"
