I offer Cassandra's Complete Class Theorem¹.

All "good use cases for AI" break down into one of four categories:

I. Bad use case.
II. Good use case, but not something AI can do.
III Good use case, but it's already been done without AI.
IV. Not AI in the LLMs and GANs sense, but in the machine […]

it's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive […]

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

"A confusing contradiction is unfolding in companies embracing generative AI tools: while workers are largely following mandates to embrace the technology, few are seeing it create real value. [...] In collaboration with Stanford Social Media Lab, our research team at BetterUp Labs has […]

You remember when everyone (including AI firms) claimed that "Hallucinations" would soon be saved and I got so much shit for arguing that they are a structural property of LLMs?

Now OpenAI releases a paper stating the same and just gets to move on (with all its sycophants).

Really fucking […]

Using LLMs as Search engines really illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding what search engines are good for and why one would use them.

vibe coders have discovered "coding"

We'll be using Copilot and whatever to fix whitespace in code (adding a few spicy bugs in the process) something rule based formatters have been able to do for decades at basically zero processing cost.

seriously though, musk's credibility problem stretches way back, well into the period before respectable folks decided he had "gone crazy"

if he had been held accountable for some very big and basic lies a long time ago, a lot of this might never have been necessary

Some reflections on what "AI" is for, why genAI - while being toxic for our minds and creatives - is a bit of a distraction and how discriminative AI is actually making Marc Andreessen's dreams come true. Oh and Fascism.
