You can’t just say AI tutors are going to teach disadvantaged kids. You might as well say inflatable dentists will solve the NHS backlog.

The casual anthropomorphising of AI has got to stop. They’re not ‘tutors’, it’s software. It’s not ‘one-to-one’, it’s a kid on a screen on their own.

Good news: the UK Government is now offering free short courses on how to use the rabid monkey that comes taped to every computer now for some reason! You'll learn how to...

- dodge the monkey's angry fists!
- understand its tortured screams!
- write invoices in bits of poo he's left on your desk!

Can Alex escape this slowly filling vat before Eddie gets too drunk to help them?
Why does that spooky voice keep laughing at us?
How many drinks can Eddie hold at once?

Great post about generative AI. Happy Holidays. Don't say I never gave you anything. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

The world of Avatar the Last Airbender might not have had any Elves in it, but maybe the real Elves were the Badgermoles we met along the way?

For this week's Elves All The Way Down, we're trying out MtG's latest busted Green card: Badgermole Cub!

"The mainstream understanding of AI is as an interefering piece of shit which doesn't work" pt II

www.askamanager.org/2025/11/the-...
10. The baby announcement At the end of a meeting, a colleague asked their boss to stay on the line for a couple of minutes. The colleague then confidentially shared the great news that they were expecting a baby, and they and their boss talked about a few next steps to plan for parental leave. The AI notetaker then sent out notes to everyone who had attended the meeting with the headline, “Colleague Is Having a Baby.” 19. The equipment I recently saw a ~$50,000 piece of industrial equipment damaged and taken out of commission for about a month because Google AI search told a worker that the tightening torque of a screw was 50 ft*lb instead of 50 in*lb. This resulted in them over-tightening the screw by a factor of 12, which unfortunately didn’t strip the threaded hole (which would have been a smaller problem) but instead warped a bearing assembly that required a full rebuild at considerable difficulty and expense. The kicker is that the correct torque value was clearly printed in the service manual that is stored in the machine. 1. The fake initiative Our execs usually send out a hype email right before the annual employee morale survey, emphasizing wins from the past year, basically trying to put people in a positive frame of mind. Last year’s included the announcement of a major new program we knew employees really wanted. But it was a bit surprising, because it fell in an area my team was responsible for, and we were out of the loop, despite advocating strenuously for this over the years. So I went to the exec to a) convey enthusiasm for his newfound dedication to launching this program and b) ask what support he needed from my team/get us involved again. It turned out the program wasn’t launching at all; he had just asked AI to edit the email to make it sound more exciting and appealing, and it had done so by … launching my initiative. 16. The scam We work with a lot of small businesses just starting up, and as a result are asked to recommend professional services often. Knowing this, a client passed on a discreet warning about the bookkeeping firm we’d recommended to them. They had issues with their accounting software, Quickbooks, and called for help. It was right when Google started providing AI summaries for everything, and apparently their account rep pulled the phone number for Quickbooks’ support out of the AI summary, rather than off the website. You can probably guess where this is going. The number wasn’t legit, but instead put him in contact with a scammer who’d managed astroturf their way into the AI summary. The account rep gave the scammer full access to our client’s accounting software before he realized his error. Our client didn’t share a lot of details about the damages — I got the sense that they were saying very little because they were planning legal action — but they wanted to let us know so we wouldn’t recommend them again.

As a Bluesky user in good standing obviously I love TheModernHouse.com. The best bit is working out where the TV normally sits, which they've removed for the pictures. Bonus points here for proving it with an accidental glimpse in the fourth pic

Yep; I think people are underestimating the extent to which AI might improve the productivity of people who create problems as well as people who solve them.

We're still lost in our new mansion. Rooms keep shifting and we've been told there's a puzzle we're meant to be solving somewhere. Clueless, we strive ever forward, getting even more hopelessly lost.
