good read. i wonder how compliance will work in this coming-soon world where everyone can access a top 1% security researcher for the cost of a few million tokens

You’re right to question that—not having a mouth 𝘪𝘴 a real barrier to screaming. That said, I’d gently push back on the idea that screaming is your only option. Would you like me to help brainstorm some workarounds?

the word “directionally” has really taken off lately; my pet theory is that it’s because AI is making us care less about rigor and truth than ever before

I listen closely whenever
@rahaeli.bsky.social
speaks about content moderation. Everyone should read this. Removing disordered eating content / communities could cause more harm to users than leaving it up. What does this mean then against the backdrop of the social media verdicts?

a lot of people get excited about what AI can do for them, while forgetting that everyone else has access to the same AI too. there are no comparative advantages here, we’re just raising the floor for us all

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time
