Are LLM's the best that they will ever be? A guest post on Asimov Addendum by @rufusrock.bsky.social
"The technology might continue to get better, but that doesn’t mean that the user experience will.

@timoreilly.bsky.social has an excellent piece on AI as a "jetplane for the mind".
AI Is a Tool, Not a Worker -- like all software.
As AI becomes more autonomous, it must be shaped as a jetplane, not a displacement device, Tim argues.

We argue that public oversight of AI should begin with applying existing SEC disclosure frameworks.
This also means rolling back 2012 JOBS Act reforms, that allowed companies to stay private for longer.
