This is the gist of what I’ve heard from people who do use AI / LLMs at work (outside actual data handling). Its best workplace use is to automate stuff that nobody should be asked to do in the first place. Automated time-saving generation of the things no human ever looks at.
by far the funniest use case for AI is “I use it for powerpoints because I hate making them and nobody looks at them” because it kinda sounds like the real workflow savings would be to stop making powerpoints

This and the discussion about how academics can now just read AI summaries of things really drives home how much these guys always confuse the product for the goal. You don't do a coloring sheet because you want to have a colored sheet at the end!!! The coloring is the point!!!

legitimately love this guy.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

This is an example of the nuance we MUST discuss openly with systems like this. Yes, Waymos are safer than humans in some situations. But their limitations will introduce new hazards in situations humans manage well. Until we reckon with that, stuff like this won’t let safety benefits be realized.
Much of SF lost power last night. Waymos blocked intersections across the city, even though they are Wayless than 1% of cars on the roads. They accumulated at their failure points--intersections with no green lights, in busy areas, and shut down traffic there.

One reason it took me so long to write this @coyotemedia.org essay is I kept trying to find a positive, productive note to end on. All I really got is “fund the goddamn bus.” www.coyotemedia.org/in-which-we-...
In Which We Deserve Options Other Than Rapists and Robots
I don’t want to be assaulted by a driver, nor surveilled by cat-killing robot cars. Is this really the best we can do?

Cosmically funny that, the American public has had less than a year of uncut republican governance, and they’ve decided that they absolutely hate this shit, spit it out
