RE: https://dair-community.social/@alex/116977123749133116

I was a 911 dispatcher for a decade.

To really understand how absolutely terrible an idea it is to have AI answer 911 calls, I'll present you with a single real-life call:

Upon answer, the caller calmly began ordering a pizza. Large, pepperoni. Side order of chicken wings. To be delivered promptly.

The only sign the caller gave that things were amiss? She rather ignored the first few questions from the calltaker.

Because she was being physically abused, had already been beaten, and her abuser was *IN THE ROOM* listening to her order pizza.

Tell me how your AI is going to read between those lines.

hell ya. noob in the browser, all clientside with pyodide. now we can split up all our docs and just make them a series of interactive demos. and i mean also this is what the local GUI will be made of too so one step closer to that.

• gifv: I'm scrolling through our docs pages on noob, where there are a series of processing graphs embedded in the page. each of them is a bunch of boxes with names and slots on their right and left sides. the slots are connected to each other to form a graph, and the plots show the values flowing through the graph: e.g. some number 2 gets emitted by one node, and then is sent to a "multiply" node and spat out as 4, and so on. the runner is fully in the browser, so you can run individual steps of it or put it on an (artificially slow, for demonstration purposes) automatic run. a table of events show all the data that's emitted during a run.

As a *technology*, ionizing radiation isn't exceptional. It's not exceptionally wicked. It's not exceptionally good. Take away the accompanying risk of global thermonuclear war, and we'd call radiation's applications "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way we've used every other technology.

i mean yes of course we're winning, even my elderly dad who uses his computer mostly to send email fucking despises AI. i know this because every time i call him he gets in a good 20 minutes of complaining about it.

but what's interesting is the believers now seem to think it too.

I think it's because AI has become a culture war issue, and for many people it's the path of least social resistance (online or otherwise) to be anti-LLM.

holy shit... are we winning? 😂

cause like, you know... it used to be that it was the path of least social resistance to pretend it wasn't a load of bollocks.
