Weekend confession time:

One of the reasons why I’m extra sceptical of the various enthusiastic “AI” critics who manage somehow to sound vociferously critical of “AI” without actually criticising the tech itself and somehow remain eternally ignorant of the many contributions women (and specifically women) have made to the field of “AI” and “AI” criticism, is I keep asking myself:

Which these verbiage lovers will turn out to be the Matt Taibbi of “AI” critics?

GPUs buzzing and humming in time
The green light flashes, red flags go up

In one writers room I reacted with horror when told another showrunner didn‘t feel they’d really broken good emotional ground on a story until somebody cried in the writers room. “But... But that’s what your car is for. Your car is for crying.” A vast generational and cultural gap was revealed.

One of the things I found nice from @andrewrk's talk was, finally, someone else hates A/B testing and says it!

But this really congealed for me in a way upon reflection of the talk: the reason I don't like A/B testing is it's like focus groups but for software

Easily the scariest movie I've ever seen. Still thinking about it.

A great demonstration about how being rooted in realistic fears is the most effective source of horror.
