Inserting things that are plausible BUT NOT TRUE is like, the worst possible failure mode for medical transcription. Literally would be better off with nothing and *knowing* you have nothing

I'm a doctor of psychology. There's a HUGE push from the programs that we use for charting (taking client notes) to use "AI" to "transcribe" our notes. There is NO insight into a) what they do, b) how they do it, and c) if any of the data is farmed out for doing this. I refuse to use AI.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

So here is an actual genuine example of people using Zionism to mean Jews but because it’s the far right it will be tolerated and won’t become cause of multi day news coverage. Almost as though the British political and media establishment don’t actually care about Jewish safety.

This @joshgondelman.bsky.social spoof of looksmaxxing is ... an actual masterpiece of humor writing?

As usual, "political" as used by OMA here appears to mean simply "things you care about that we don't care about"; if Pride flags and the Canadian flag do not fit the definition of "political", I mean... what are we even talking about here? pressprogress.ca/yipeng-ge-on...

Cowards. Fake citations should be a lifetime ban.

Absolutely shameful behaviour from the Ontario Medical Association here.

Ah yes, because if there is one thing humans hate doing, it is choosing who they want to fuck.

NEW: Seattle might declare a civil emergency to help LGBTQ (mostly trans) people fleeing red states, so I looked for a Texas angle. An organizer told me that Texas is #1 among trans people looking to relocate: "The baseline hostility to their existence is unbearable." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

All the developers 404 Media talked to were excited to try using LLMs at work at first, or were at least curious about them. Their feelings about the tools, based on their personal experience, are now overwhelmingly negative. AI is rotting their brains www.404media.co/software-dev...

Yes, of course. If anything this report undersells the problem. These systems are garbage and we should not use them. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I think we should be clear about who is hallucinating when governments and institutions put people’s lives in the hands of predictive text engines they call “intelligent”

If your computer program helps someone commit an atrocity, you're morally responsible for it. Sorry! Oh, you can't meaningfully prevent your idiot chatbot from helping commit atrocities? Oops! I guess your company is fucked and shouldn't exist. Sorry!

Due to the prevalence of AI fakery I suggest communicating a simple call-back rule with your friends and family; agree that if one were to ask for anything that involves money, do an immediate callback, no exceptions. It's not perfect but it will solve most scenarios. Even banking scams.

Marjorie Taylor Greene broke with Trump because he didn't endorse her for Georgia governor and for Senate in early 2025, not because of Israel, Iran, or Epstein. The timeline is clear and it's embarrassing to hold her up as principled!

I think it's telling how many people would see this and criticize the parents for letting a kid ride where it's dangerous instead of criticizing the leaders who created such unsafe roads. As a society we have accepted a system that creates danger for everyone not in a car.

…defense against Hamas on Oct 7. On Oct 10 the IDF released video that showed the 17th Bn’s commander describing the killing of 4 Hamas fighters—but the IDF’s own video made clear those fighters surrendered and complied with instructions to disrobe before being killed. www.972mag.com/three-hostag...

The Bislamach Brigade—whose members went on to be squad leaders and platoon sergeants in the rest of the IDF infantry—was linked to a number of such killings early in the war. The 17th Bn, which killed the hostages in Dec thinking they were Gazan men waving the white flag, took part in the…

IDF soldier who participated in the mistaken killing of three Israeli hostages in Gaza City in Dec 2023 confirmed to his mother what was widely reported at the time: they killed the men, who were waving white flags, because their unit was under orders to kill all Gazan men they encountered.

Appalling incompetence.

My present belief, which has not changed appreciably in the last several years, is that: 1. AGI and computational consciousness are possible. (I think the idea of substrate dependence is silly.) 2. LLMs are not meaningfully a step toward #1. (3. LLMs are extremely harmful and also annoying as fuck.)

Just sailing past the message of 'treat people with respect, even when they're different' to internalize the message 'it is bad to doubt the computer.'

It's so funny that decades of science fiction have used people assuming that A.I. cannot be conscious as an analogy for real world dehumanization of political minorities, but then in real life the people dehumanizing political minorities are the only ones who actually believe A.I. is conscious.
