Anthropomorphic designed AI is a waste. Erik Brynjolfsson agrees with me. We don't need to create more human machines, we already know how to make humans.

Happy anniversary to those who celebrate https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/6703e93bab06f5b50c2e67ae065bd04968d439d1a0d5ec68d4da3107bb29cb46/1cfc9805d0b6ecd7dff6a3fb8e909bcab4be6c08752619d866afd6e9697290e6.webp
Too many people really thought this was just a story about stuff happening in a galaxy far, far away. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/6703e93bab06f5b50c2e67ae065bd04968d439d1a0d5ec68d4da3107bb29cb46/121928c08977c77c1cc496c3caa8c4f7648647d8038761c9a9dc659f0b0aae0e.webp
Nearly 60,000 civilians who've fled Al Fashir to escape the large-scale atrocities that the world knew would happen — as it had been clearly predicted by human rights monitors — are missing. https://www.lighthousereports.com/investigation/the-killing-fields-of-al-fashir/

"LLMs deceive us, not by intent but by the frame assigned to them by people who develop and sell them."
Naïve art with a wink at Dadaism. 
Long been a listener of the This is Not a Drill podcast, but Gavin Esler’s interview this week with Bruce Schneier, in “Big Tech, A.I. and the dictators – Inside the future of authoritarianism” is maybe one of the best episodes I’ve caught.

It's not that there are no valid uses of the tech stack we presently call 'AI' but so much of Gen AI's market investment is dedicated to unsolving solved problems. Take representing reality. We already have it. Fabricating realistic images makes no sense. There are cameras, and you can go outside.

You're not an internet user so much as you're a downstream AWS customer.
At what point do we decide that it's not a good idea to allow massive sections of the Internet to rely on just one company?
The myth and legend of a ceasefire was greatly exaggerated.
