1. Fuck Platner, a stupid mercenary who couldn’t even convincingly apologize for his Nazi tattoo 2. I am not a democratic consultant so I’d like to discourage you from telling me which of my posts are good for the party or replying “now do Susan Collins” since I don’t give a shit 3. Fuck Platner

Eric Schmidt, 2024.

It is simply untenable for the Senate Leader of the Democratic Party to be someone whose number one issue is being unconditionally supportive of a country that >80% of his party's voting base views negatively

They kettled press as well as protestors. Now they're giving press "one opportunity" to leave. www.youtube.com/live/dhCEpox...

I agree, bsky mods (especially its head) should eat the endless screaming bot's shit and hair. I can contribute some of mine too for them to eat.

Incredible piece, but it needs to be said explicitly: these people are dangerous eugenicists. They want the "wrong" people to be exterminated and replaced by AI. That's abhorrent and you can't pretend otherwise.

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

Yes, but as the saying goes, Money talks, and BS takes the bus. « Anthropic [invited] long-tenured employees [to] sell shares at [a] $350B valuation. Employees mostly said no. They sold far fewer shares than expected. Even people inside the company think the valuation is too low. »

A calzone is like a giant pirozhki (not to be confused with pierogi)

Really sucks how so many headlines now are just eugenics Mad Libs.

A few weeks ago, I read the statistic that 50% of women leave tech by age 35. I thought about how I'm turning 35 this year and how many times I have come close to rage quitting. How I almost didn't make it into the industry in the first place because of gendered violence.

One of the things i keep trying to get people to understand is that these linguistic shorthands and stylistic flourishes have existed in writte and spoken communication for long before "AI" got ahold of them, and their proliferation with the training data is a part of where "AI" "learned" them. …

« If using AI to write is, at its worst, an industrialization of the mind, then AI detection, at its worst, becomes a surveillance system for thought. »

This is why I keep saying that the attacks on American science are attacks on global science because another country is not stepping up to fill the void. China may decide to do so eventually but so far hasn’t indicated that it will.

Now do the same thing with electricity.

The model is like:

For @sven.blacksky.app: This is the oeuvre that @olivia.science is referring too: bsky.app/profile/iris... But I will of course make a selection and compression for the piece that I now need to write :)

Less Grady Booch, more James Gosling, please 🥺

« When [AI is made] incredibly powerful, it's part of a marketing strategy. [T]he whole business of prediction has always been a business in dread. Toni Morrison [wrote] of a psychic that his business was dread. Every time we are seeking a prediction, it's because we're anxious about the future. »

« When AI makes text take 3 sentences to get to the point, tells me everything this is not - or not just - or not only - or not simply - before telling me what it is - it is not "clear academic writing". »

Got all my work done today so I decided to make chocolate mint biscotti and the house smells like a peppermint bomb went off and it's amazing.

Here Arthur Mensch during his hearing before the French National Assembly "clarifies" his earlier point about conflating AI and digital services. He equates digital services with commodities that you can build with the help of (his) "AI". videos.assemblee-nationale.fr/video.188786...

More nonsense from Arthur Mensch during his hearing before the French National Assembly where he equates electricity with tokens and AI videos.assemblee-nationale.fr/video.188786...

This erroneous message is relentlessly being hammered into the minds of our parliamentarians. A recent example is that of Arthur Mensch during his hearing before the French National Assembly. videos.assemblee-nationale.fr/video.188786...

The way these "AI checkers" work is very, very simple. It feeds part of the text into an LLM. If the LLM predicts, correctly, the missing text, it scores that as proof the LLM produced the text. And LLM's literally stole *every fucking book and forum post ever fucking written* to train on.

this is very annoying for me personally because i instinctively tap on the "show post" button even in public because i'm dumb & nosy; making a system that sporadically rewards me with a totally SFW pic will just undermine my efforts to re-train myself to trust the warning when i'm browsing in public

Sam Altman wants an actual license to kill you. This bill: the "Artificial Intelligence Safety Act"😒 would give companies like OpenAI immunity for mass murder including nuclear, biological, and radiological attacks assisted by their bots. youtu.be/34bMvXOQfEM

Interestingly, I find this kind of masculinity extremely familiar from teenage years and posh white English boys at public school - the ones friends were dating. Weird mix of highly entitled, painfully insecure, deeply pathetic, misogynistic to the core. One of them was called Tarquin.

I love this metaphor for how to think about resisting "AI" -- yes we have to push back everywhere it's being forced on us, but also we have to fill in those spaces with resources, connection, and care, so that there is no room for technosolutionism.

This is what Bluesky's "AI" enthusiasts look like with their pseudo-economic-philosophical analyses. (Redo as the bigots centors at @moderation.bsky.app decided to tag the GIF of a KID'S TOY as 'adult content' 🤦‍♂️)

One problem is that you are one of the only people around who actually read Turing's paper before writing about the Turing test. And the other, bigger, problem is that men think they should correct women. It happened to me, probably
