I love this intro to a philosophy paper, though I can't actually remember which paper it's from.

When I use Google now I just automatically scroll past the AI summaries like they’re banner ads
This is really important. Do NOT use the AI summaries at the top of google searches. Ignore them. This is especially important if you don't have any prior knowledge about the topic, but also a good general rule.
Search sources, scrutinize them carefully and double-check with other sources.

Machine Learning Won't Solve Natural Language Understanding
An argument that it is time to re-think our approach to natural language understanding, since the ‘big data’ approach to NLU is implausible and both technically and theoretically flawed..

Kinda crazy that artificial intelligence needs the entire output of a nuclear reactor but actual intelligence can run on Twix bars and cocaine, for example.

Amazing reporting from @kashhill.bsky.social.
I’ve been lurking in car forums for the last few months and saw reports from drivers of General Motors cars that GM was selling their driving data to LexisNexis. It was resulting in their insurance going up. Can that be true, I thought.
Reported it out. Yes. True.

LexisNexis, which generates consumer risk profiles for the insurers, knew about every trip G.M. drivers had taken in their cars, including when they sped, braked too hard or accelerated rapidly.
