I somehow missed this when @anthonymoser.com published it last year. It's SO GOOD: "Because the makers of AI aren’t damned by their failures, they’re damned by their goals. They want to build a genie to grant them wishes, and their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again."

it's not even like it has to get hacked tbh. there is so much critical infrastructure dependent on systems that require constant maintenance and aren't really getting it. so yeah the answer to "what could they do to harm us" is "break"

if you're looking for a good overview for kids of issues around ai, this episode is really solid imo doesn't get lost in the weeds, explains the real ai pitch ("you don't have to think anymore!") but also hits environmental harms, accuracy problems, even how it's a bubble

google's "why don't you want to use our documentation chatbot" survey offers a pretty good list of reasons not to use their documentation chatbot

as a hater let me acknowledge something ai is good at: producing irritating discourse at scale this is usually because, like "ai" itself, people are talking about different things like they are one thing so let me disentangle, with statements numbered for easy disagreement

are there any good language learning apps? my understanding is that duolingo sucks both bc it's gone ai and also bc it's focused more on engagement than actually helping you learn a language but are they all that way or are there good ones? (this is for a middle grade student learning spanish)

so people tell LLMs to fully copy the functionality of an existing program, but in a new programming language and this is for some reason called a "clean room" approach
