“LLMs aren’t going away” statements are wishes, not predictions, that they’re trying to make happen. Treat them as advocacy for a specific future, not observations of inevitability

I'm trying to be less of a perfectionist and post more often, so here is a quick write up of sources I did to help a college student I know whose essay got incorrectly flagged as AI generated by an "AI detector". open.substack.com/pub/aylatayl...

Tech companies act like their products are something out of Star Trek, but they are not and pretending that they are is dangerous.

How to Interact with Data Workers

I am reluctant to start a social media account again but I want to write more and make more connections with people who are working against the big tech narratives about AI, and this seems to be the place to be. So here we go.
