AI/LLM haters unite!
I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
I Am An AI Hater
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

I often see discussion about the "right" way to include climate themes in fiction. Advice includes:
- Don't scare people TOO much
- Focus on solutions
- Characters have agency
- Include local issues people can tackle personally
- Hopeful ending IS A MUST

Nieuw Onderzoek | De PVV doet niet alleen weinig bij debatten en draagt nauwelijks bij aan nieuwe wetgeving, maar laat van alle grote fracties ook het vaakst verstek gaan bij ‘Kamertaken’: corvee-werkzaamheden, die de Tweede Kamer draaiende houden: www.platform-investico.nl/onderzoeken/...
Grootste fractie, minste inzet: PVV laat Kamerwerk liggen | Investico Onderzoeksjournalisten
De Tweede Kamer moet zichzelf draaiende houden. Als niemand zijn vinger opsteekt als extra taken worden verdeeld, gebeurt er maar weinig. Nu de PVV de grootste fractie vormt, kraakt het instituut.

Ongeveer 11.000 statushouders krijgen jaarlijks voorrang op een huurwoning en ongeveer 100.000 tot 200.000 expats krijgen voorrang op een huurwoning dankzij de expatregeling, die het leven in de grote steden volstrekt onbetaalbaar heeft gemaakt, maar daar hoor je onze Volendamse nepregent niet over.
