Crearon un modelo informático del lenguaje humano (un logro no menor) y se pusieron a venderlo como una cosa distinta (una inteligencia capaz de resolver cualquier problema).

Uno debe preguntarse si no entienden la diferencia, o si pensaron «son todos ignorantes y no van a entender la diferencia».

Tú apoyas que dejen en la puta calle a 400 personas sin recursos en pleno invierno, pero yo soy anticristiano por decir "felices fiestas" en lugar de "feliz navidad".

Sí, es real. En Microsoft quieren eliminar todo el código C y C++ para pasarlo a Rust, y para ello van a usar IA. Sí, van a usar IA para reemplazar todo el código de Windows. Solo os digo que aprendáis a usar Linux lo antes posible... por lo que sea.

Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

Lo mejor de todo es que si yo estuviera ahí me quedaría esperando detrás de la furgoneta y me pitarían (he recibido más de un pitazo por hacer cosas locas como ir a 30 en una zona de 30 o parar en un paso de cebra)

Learning requires friction [...] By smoothing away these difficulties with AI, we are not making our children smarter [...] we are turning them into passive consumers of synthetic intelligence, doomed to float on a sea of algorithmic slop[...]

AI will make our children stupid | David James and Carl Hendrick | The Critic Magazine
Of all the recent signs that Western civilization is circling the drain, the most depressing is the apparent decline in IQs. The so-called Flynn Effect once showed IQs rising steadily.

Vas a un restaurante, pides un chuletón XXL
El camarero te trae un bocadillo de calamares podrido y mordido, te quejas y el dueño dice que la culpa es de Bruselas y los hombres lagarto que dominan el mundo desde el nucleo hueco de la Tierra. A veces le funciona
Pues eso es la política que arrasa.

I've spent all day struggling to write a single page of a popular science article. I bang away at a word processor; give up; start diagramming on paper. Take some notes; draft a few sentences in pen; return to the computer...and very slowly I figure out what I was trying to say in the first place.

Tuve una clase en la que nos hablaron de la I A en clase y como aplicarlas como profesores y lo que me quedó clarísimo cristalino es que nadie tiene ni puta idea de qué hacer con ella, tienen claro que resulta problemática por muchos motivos pero están tan flasheados que no se plantean no usarla

Estaba pensando que en gran medida la obsesión de alguna gente con hablarle a ChatGPT y pedirle consejo como si fuera un amigo tiene su origen en que el bot te contesta siempre con educación, amabilidad y te da la razón en todo, mientras que los humanos cada vez somos menos amables con otros online.
