Great piece here from @karenhao.bsky.social We keep lazily saying "AI could cure cancer" when in fact *this* AI is more suited to mistakenly bombing schools and making people psychotic. We can only redirect it through investment, regulation and resistance. www.theguardian.com/…
It's just science
We told everyone that programming wasn't the hard part, but no one believed us. The reason LLMs can excrete sort-of-okay code is that sort-of-okay code has been a commodity good for 20+ years. Then, just like now, the bottleneck was understanding what people actually want.

This paper doesn't use the term "intentional stance," but it does really expose that imputation of consciousness is an act by the observer that's usually not based on dispassionate analysis of the observed's internal structures. It's just vibes, and those aren't sufficient. ar…
Makes me think of this (and the conscientious objector option)

A key part of the cognitive omnishambles in which we find ourselves is that everything now has a shitty AI generated summary that purports to tell you what's inside, but that no one ever checks for accuracy.
AI boosters have started diagnosing opponents with "anti-AI psychosis". How creative.
Due to a typo, OpenAI has invested 5 billion dollars into the construction of a cutting edge data centaur
using AI trained on stolen work to make a shoddy copy of that work on the cheap AKA the six-finger discount
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I asked AI which one to try. "Explorers say to pick the right." I did; no Robert Frost in sight. The answer left me unimpressed once it turned out that Claude just guessed.
AI startups be like: the Central Intelligence Agency employs 10,000 agents. What if those agents.......could be agentic?? we are looking a seed round of nine hundred million dollars
Woman loudly talking on the phone: "Well I put it into ChatGPT to optimize our weekend and that's what it came up with. So you're just going to have to figure it out." Hanging up, complaining to her companion: "I never get a call from my son, and suddenly he calls about this!"
Missed two weeks of newsletter in a row. The piece is nearly done but I can't bring myself to write about AI again. What else is going on in UX that isn't just "your TV is now pervert glasses?"
With AI on the blockchain, you could insert The Fonz into any TV show you watch
Once again forced to weigh what is more in my readers' interest: seeing a potentially interesting story, or keeping AI-processed text out of their media diet. And once again, I lean towards the latter. I don't know how much, if any, of this article is actually human... but it is not enough.
