Tonight we’re watching one of the greatest sci fi movies ever made: Dark City, a brilliant film that had the unfortunate luck to be released right in The Matrix’ shadow.

Sabrina Shroff is perhaps the best defense attorney in the United States. She doesn't tend to answer a lot of press questions, and always puts the client's interests first.

That she went on the record this way says just how bad SBF is as a "jailhouse lawyer"

Three years deep into a "revolution" that's produced nothing of value the bill is, finally, arriving at the table.

Let's spend some time thinking on how (1) self-driving vehicles, (2) robot slaves, and (3) "agents" are all FANTASY TECHNOLOGIES THAT DON'T EXIST.

Yeah that seems about like Mullenweg's attitude towards consent
WordPress wants to force AI onto 43% of all websites in the world

no way to de-slop it, it’s totally Automattic

"It’s designed to put out the most mid result..." is my new favorite off-hand dismissal of the Slop Machine.

we have a new stupidest AI thing I've seen today: selling prompts to put your chatbot on drugs www.wired.com/story/people...
People Are Paying to Get Their Chatbots High on ‘Drugs’
An online marketplace is selling code modules that simulate the effects of cannabis, ketamine, cocaine, ayahuasca, and alcohol when they are uploaded to ChatGPT.

The internet is getting flooded with AI slop. Browsers have AI integrated. Devices have AI integrated. AI boosters have infiltrated all areas of human activity, from the corporate world to schools to government. It's a relentless assault on all fronts.
Firefox browser falls to AI. What do we do now?

where ‘absolutely not’ means ‘maybe later’

His example of normalising AI is in response to internal employees resisting it. Rather than accepting their "no", he prefers to believe that they are not capable of making their own judgement and need to learn to accept AI instead.

looks like a fake AI-generated list of books, still in Scoop
#4 sounds like a lovely book but I didn't write it. Have had whānau up and down the country send me clippings lol
Whoever put together this list that has been circulated to regional papers, didn't fact check.

Long history of that in software engineering: "language/framework X is easier to learn than Y". Where's your study? What specific items did you measure? Why? Sample size? How did you select population? Just a bunch of made up crap, hoping to become a "thought leader".

METR's study is decent
i know of *one* study that bothered actually *measuring* time to do things with AI coding, and that's the METR study and it states its caveats

but I see AI advocates (a) pooh pooh it utterly for 1000 reasons (b) *never* run a single study themselves to even that degree of rigour

must be a reason
