1. people are reading this way too charitably, eliminating long term contracts seems extremely targeted towards Boeing, NGIT, and Amentum (all SpaceX targets). I don't see it as him advocating for badge flipping especially since he set a hard cap on hiring until 2029.
Text of Jared Isaacman's new Workforce Directive (in four pieces).
"Workforce Directive: Restoring NASA's Core Competencies."
He posted a video about it on X a little bit ago as well. x.com/NASAAdmin/st...

#NASA #Space #Politics
From #ArsTechnica: A NASA authorization bill passed today by the House space subcommittee seems to open the door to NASA purchasing commercial crew missions for deep space.
Right now, Congress requires NASA to use Space Launch System.

Any company unironically citing the Kardashev scale is not serious. These attempts at invoking science fiction are a distraction for rubes as the financials get worse.

As these teens describe, AI can diminish human relationships; devalue art; threaten the environment; lead to laziness; give unreliable results; pose privacy concerns; and be misused.
So, please, stop with the narratives of inevitability and let's embrace a pedagogy and politics of refusal.

The good thing about mainstream press publishing articles about the latest genAI idiocy is that all the morons come out of the woodwork and you can filter them out
I used Claude Code for 30 minutes and that was all it took
I never went a single day without it ever again, doing any professional work
just a truly consequential tool that permanently changed the nature of how I work, and which I’d never work without. Very, very rare in four decades of computing

Nothing said in this thread doesn't make them not stochastic parrots.
Spending more time with Claude Code tonight and I do think one basic reality is that AI skeptics need to update their priors: Plenty of cause for concern, plenty of room to hit these companies for unethical behavior, resource demands, etc, but we are so, so far past the era of "stochastic parrots"
Move Over, ChatGPT

Do you use llm for doing "research". No amount of qualification will ever make them good.
I never thought I'd have to achtually the menswear guy but A.I. research done by a cloud service will hallucinate because you have no control over the weights or limits of the LLM. This is why anyone who want to do A.I. should run their projects locally including Deep Research. I use this w/ ollama:
