Interested in mathematics, computer science, history, political thought, and the (lack of) "ethics" of AI. Anonymous because questioning AI is career limiting behaviour.
Astonishing and quite humbling.

Personally I struggle to trust people who are paid to manipulate public opinion for a living by for profit entities, even if they claim or have noble intent.
But to each their own.

I would struggle to trust an academic who doesn‘t know how to
use AI tools.
Which is not the same as not being critical.

I would very much like to know what the appointments process was like to Microsoft’s “independent” AI Economy Institute.
Saying “look at the industrial revolution, it’ll be fiiine” is not quite the flex the journo lets him pretend it is.

It is interesting that it seems far easier to jailbreak an LLM chatbot into generating guardrail-transgressive content than it is to obtain a system prompt. (Evidence: one happens all the time, the other is somewhat newsworthy.)

Anyone gonna engage with the question of why, if these tools are so fucking good[1], no worker adopts them voluntarily?
Or are we all so soaked in the propaganda about lazy workers, only dragged into modernity by managers bravely flogging them
that we won’t even ask the question

Bringing the disruption to Brussels: The European Commission encourages its managers to draft policy-making documents with AI, including "explaining/summarising legislative initiatives". According to a newly released Commission document, this will "boost your team's productivity". 🫢

When will people start to see the housing crisis as the public transit crisis it is?
Real estate is “location location location”. Location is made by connection with other location. Densification can help — the elevator is a kind of transit! — but en fin, the only way to more city is more transit.

For Xmas I want a Grand Theft Auto mod: every time the player injures a pedestrian they find themselves slowly but inexorably pursued by another 5 innocents in a gathering mob that, closing in relentlessly from all sides, inevitably overwhelms TP before imprisoning TP in a box. And you can’t quit.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

We all know everything is gender but if let’s just say, hypothetically, Kamala D. Harris dreamed up a new class of zumwalts, I suspect there would be some not so nice quotes from not so nice admirals, but because everything is gender, it’s “yes sir daddy Trump, right away, we’ll even call it golden”

So given our world is being so royally screwed up by, broadly, "computer people", it might be interesting to take a brief look at the political content of how programmers talk about programming: these people are bad at the real world, but to be honest they're equally bad at the computer world.
