An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

To an LLM, words exist as a kind of statistical magnetic force, a thing other things are drawn to or repelled by. They are “known” in relation to other words; combinations of them form patterns of repulsion and attraction, too. They learn those patterns from the things we create out of words.

Holy shit #booksky - this is a tragedy. If I had kids nothing would bring me greater joy than introducing them to the joy and wonder that is reading. The 29% of 0-2 year old boys being read to makes me especially sad. One of the best things my dad ever did for me was introduce me to reading.

For years I justified my twitter habit by saying, "I need to be here to promote my books and stuff like the Project for Awesome."

Without twitter, this year's p4a raised a record $3,700,000.

Without twitter, Everything Is Tuberculosis (a history of tuberculosis!) is outselling my previous book...
