"Think hostility" - how much do I love this phrase? Another excellent piece by Per. This is a seriously good read...

Love this piece by @axbom.com Especially: "Think-hostility does not stop at claiming that the path is predetermined — it also ridicules those who want to pause and debate that very claim." #tlsky #librarians #artificialintelligence #edusky axbom.com/technofatali...

Just published. The Borg Complex describes a behavioral pattern wherein people see resistance to technology as pointless. "Technology is inevitable," they say, and we simply must adapt. It is a form of fatalism, often disguised as optimism. It also undermines independent thinking.

Jag pratar med AcadeMedias VD om friskolesystemet. De klippte bort när jag korrigerade Marcus påstående att de delar ut 1 % av skolpengen och förklarade att via andra mekanismer så delar de ut 3 %. Men annars är de viktigaste grejerna med: sverigesradio.se/play/avsnitt...

Lots of people are struggling to choose a search engine other than Google. I made a thing to encourage people to not only try many different global search engines, but to also remind everyone to purposefully use site-specific engines. You'll want to check out the full list of !bangs. udo.se

Israel sköt ihjäl två UNICEF-arbetare på väg att hämta vatten till människor som lever på gränsen till svält - för att de korsat en ny, osynlig gränsdragning som ingen kände till. Helt normalt beteende av en regim vi samarbetar med på alla tänkbara samhällsnivåer. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/gk...

Den enda fråga som fått Magdalena Andersson att skriva en debattartikel, ett par månader före valet: Migrationspolitiken Alla måste förledas att tro att S är i opposition. Sopa undan alla spår av att S opponerar mot sin egen politik. Så kan man fortsätta låtsas. Saknar ord egentligen Ovärdigt

”Varje normalisering av övervakning förändrar relationen mellan människor eftersom ett samhälle inte kan övervaka sig till tillit; tvärtom riskerar utvecklingen att skapa det den påstår sig vilja motverka. När människor lär sig att betrakta varandra som presumtiva risker växer misstron.”

Idag hade jag min första högläsning av den svenska utgåvan av Datorkraft och mänskligt förnuft, av Joseph Weizenbaum. Det blev oerhört lyckat så jag fortsätter glatt. Häng med nästa fredag på session 2! Boken kom ut för 50 år sedan men är högaktuell, precis som det står på omslaget 😊 vox.axbom.com

Nytt på bloggen: "Borg-komplexet ger oss terminologi för att beskriva människor som argumenterar för att motstånd mot teknik är lönlöst. Att bli en del av kollektivet som integrerar tekniken i sitt människoliv ser de som självklart och ofrånkomligt." axbom.se/teknikfatali...

We are up to a point where there are adult people who will never have experienced NOT getting a friggin’ evaluation form shortly after every experience outside their home. Remember when you could rent a VHS and nobody asked you to put a score on the film, the rental place AND the staff?

Yes, Hannah Einbinder (as Ava) brilliantly tears down the inevitability of AI in this scene, but also watch Jean Smart (as Deborah) struggling to hold back her laugher. 😅

Just published 'The trauma of AI Humanizers' "Suggesting that I use AI to write is telling me to hide myself from view. From existence. You are saying I never mattered. That the experiences I had were not worthy of shaping who I am. That being me was a mistake. A computer can be me. A better me."

An insightful text that helped me in a bit of a low. ”Yes, we can grow. We can cultivate virtues and develop our abilities. But sometimes, we need to change entirely. We need to metamorphose into something different — something far more suited to the world we have and the life we want to live.”

👀 Grammarly "Humanizer” agent Sound natural and engaging Transform stiff or AI-written text into natural, authentic writing. * Add warmth & personality without changing meaning. * Customize with your own writing sample or preset voices. * Turn jargon or robotic phrasing into engaging prose. 👀

What an absolutely mad world it is that so many people get handed these £1k typing machines, are expected to use them all day, and no one teaches them how to type. Between that and Smartphone Thumb, the future of middle-management humans is looking very uncomfortable.

literally idiocracy

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

This is huge. I can't believe it took this long before accountability was established in a domain so evident and hazardous as traffic. But proves its doable. Now let's see it enforced, rapidly and at appropriate scale to effect change. #AIEthics #driverless

I just learned such a great word for our times. An epiphany is sudden true understanding. An *apophany* is a false understanding based on seeing a relationship in data or perception that doesn't actually exist. Pareidolia (seeing faces in things) is a subtype of apophenia.

“The Familiar is a ‘physically embodied AI system’ that will use generative AI, via an on-device model, to engage with its owner with the intent of forming an emotional connection and develop ‘a distinct personality…’”

Ghost is now a digital public good. "Ghost meets these criteria as open source software with a strong commitment to open standards, data portability, and user privacy. It's also the only publishing platform to have achieved this standard."

I hear people say they learn to write better with AI. But I wonder if people actually use AI intermittently with practicing the craft of writing. Like one week writing with AI and then one writing without, gauging how much their writing improves. Trying to understand what "improved writing" means.
