If someone needs a book on this, that links it to the nature of capitalism, class, the role that knowledge and technology play in history, and what power has to do with that... we've got you covered, of course

I've come to pretty much the same conclusion. @internetofbugs.com articulates it expertly here.
We hear it repeated over & over, but it's become very clear scaling isn't the answer.
But it's the only answer Big Tech has right now. So scale they must!

The maintenance cost of AI implementations is exponentially greater than standard implementations.
This has ALWAYS been the case with generated code. Very fast implementations, but impossible to maintain.

Good thread about how ChatGPT is *not* a useful disability aid, which dovetails nicely with the reporting about how AI lowers productivity when it's forced into people's workflows
People *without* executive dysfunction are finding that using chatgpt buries them under multitasking: they have to expend more effort and attention in more tasks to check that it hasn't outputted *absolute fucking nonsense*

Israel’s starvation campaign ravages Gaza
The cries of hungry children echo through tent camps in Gaza City, with over 50 Palestinians in the enclave starving to death in the past five days alone.

It’s always such a pleasure to have @danmcquillan.bsky.social on the show! I was particularly excited to chat about decomputing, the possibilities it offers, and how it can focus our critique of the exploitative tech systems we depend on.
Is it possible to imagine a better future where we use less computation? The effects of AI hype almost demand it.
This week @danmcquillan.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to lay out the concept of decomputing as a different way of assessing technology.

Big tech promotes the story that since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, AI has been so popular it's rushed to meet the demand. The reality is different. A study by design scholars shows tech co's have had to push AI on its users with a variety of intrusive tactics.

Vinay Prasad & Marty Makary frequently attacked studies proving COVID-19's harms as "Covidian" and the researchers as "brain damaged." Now in charge at the Food & Drug Administration, their new favorite spambot is imagining studies out of whole cloth. This is because genAI is sycophantic by design.
Insiders tell CNN the FDA's AI is "hallucinating" studies and can't access key documents. Agency leaders insist the AI is getting better, and use is not mandatory. cnn.it/3UoYIjI

Life lately is has truly been a gauntlet of stress and fresh trauma and bc of that I am failing to push this like i really *really* need to. It’s at 56% now. Any little bit of support, even just boosts of my post, is really deeply appreciated rn.
I am so grateful for everyone’s help so far, and am now over halfway to my goal here! I’ve got to get a majority of these bills paid off this month. Please consider helping me out with funds if you can. Boosts are really appreciated as well 🙏💙 ko-fi.com/butchanarchy...
