Maybe someday I will be as forthright as @researchfairy (whose long-ago post about how, even if LLM output is correct, it's not worth the harms experienced by data workers/moderators in the course of training the model, has stuck with me for years)
But until then, at least I can point to external guidance as I beg people to slow down a little.

I'd rather not think about @beep 's book at all, to be honest.

When USSR was crumbling, factories were also paying workers in products they manufactured.

This is AI bubble companies trying to print own money. Printing your own money only works if you find a way to make it necessary. That's what taxes do, for example (recommended reading: David Graeber's "Debt").

Here:

👉 "printing money" part is paying employees in tokens

👉 "taxes" part is requiring employees to use AI in their day to day work (thus making tokens necessary)

it is not a good day to be a conscientious user of modern technology, no.

i just read the financial times article (archive) on the use of confabulation machines in war planning, specifically the scope of use in target planning, and it's bad, bad, terribly bad.

even if it is what we suspected anyways, knowing the lack of ethics of the tech companies and the bloodthirstiness of hegseth & al.

there is no hope for this industry.

the FT reports today that the US Military is using an AI kill chain, built by Anthropic and Palantir.

They use it to launder inadequate evidence into kill decisions no-one can be blamed for, to perpetuate a terror program where it's impossible to tell who counts as a "combatant". And they will kill you, your children, your neighbours, and your children's entire school, for reasons you will never know.

Did a code review today where somebody who obv used AI created a button styled like a link to open a page with window.open... instead of, ya know, creating a regular link. 🫠

It bugs me that this person didn't seem to review the generated code AT ALL and instead pushed that shit to me to review. What's worse is half the team rubber stamps PRs, so I know there's some nasty code making it to prod.

So Danny Bluejeans is now driving around town, hopping out of the car, and having his non-uniformed security detail assault random people.

And then they get their asses kicked.

Normal mayor. Normal city.

Marcia Roy

I suspect some of you may say this is where I'm stretching this theory. But Marcia is where I think the theory is the strongest. Or, at least, she's what made me want to explore the theory more.

Marcia represents Israel. She has Logan's ear in a way that none of the kids have it, and they're suspicious of her influence.

Even more interesting, I think the show hints at the possibility that Marcia might've been an Israeli spy...

@soatok and you can even pronounce that “no” like “the ROI on collecting that data is negative” because it is for basically everyone. The suits often need you to speak with an accent that way so they can hear you clearly.
