Slightly spicier: I say this as a guy who writes jokes and non-fiction... I think getting our politics via comedians is generally a bad thing. Getting jokes about politics from comedians? Great. But not our politics. Comedians can act as pundits, but then later say "I'm just a comedian."

I wish LLMs hadn't taken off so I could just bore my wife with how cool they are (as with word2vec, Markov chains, and artificial neural networks before them)

Instead I'm always having to talk them down to correct the overhype.

So what am I supposed to do here? Aus-M and Aus-W playing tests at the same time.

My boss says that I should be working which I don't feel really addresses the core problem.

I'm enjoying the DeepSeek drama but, like so much AI reporting, the actual cool bits are getting buried under piles of marketing and myth making.

This is such a weird article. None of Reid's ideas for empowering AI are particularly interesting or useful.

It doesn't read like an article about AI at all, just a vague defence of the concept of sharing your personal data.
