This is one of the key things about T: he’s an obsessed eugenicist & has been from the start. He talked about it a lot on The Apprentice. It’s racist Nazi talk, obv, but it’s also why he believes rich people are rich: bc they are born to be superior. And this was RARELY covered in the press
“We’re never going to say automatic transcription is good enough for deaf and hard of hearing people and they don’t deserve human care.”

This is huge! The European Court of Justice, the top EU court, has ruled that EU member states must provide a process to change gender markers on identity documents for trans people.

It actually rules to watch LLM centrism develop in real time. "Ok yes, tech bros are taking things way too far but LLM skeptics are just as silly, surely we can all agree that it's a transformative new technology and we all need to get onboard" and like, bro. Bro. We know who's side you're really on
Category error! I'm sick to the back teeth of comparisons to humans. It's so rife even colleagues do it. What's next?
> I compared a rock and a person, and challenged them to stay still the longest and the rock won! Wow!
Things thought up by the unhinged & those who wish to dehumanise for profit.
Poorly drawn sketch of a large computing machine connected to electrical wires and three stick figures kneeling in front of it. Text above the stick figures says: "O Deep Thought what is the ultimate answer to the problem of the climate crisis?"
Same sketch, now with text above the machine saying: "You should have stopped burning fossil fuels"
Same sketch, zoomed out to see three smoke stacks and text above the stick figures saying: "How could we have known?"
I'm no artist, but hopefully this gets the point across. A comic in three panels.
“The existence of technology can lead us down many paths. That does not mean all should be taken.”

Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases “Department of War” or “Secretary of War” without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.
“are LLMs conscious” you cannot get me to participate in this argument on Bluesky of all places, be serious
It should be fraud to misrepresent a computer as a person in a business context. This goes for support messages too. If I hear or see "Hi I'm Steve" I expect a human not a jumped-up Python script.
The success of this "AI" project relies on convincing people that they know less than they do, that they are less capable than they actually are. Then deskilling makes it a a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Indian Standard Time is already UTC+5h30 and doesn’t change!
here's another thing i hate: when companies change their AI computer voice to be more "human". under no circumstances do I want that. i want every computer in my life to sound stilted and weird because it's a computer, not a person, and it is a violation of natural law for it to speak in our voice
The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.
…I've said it so many fucking times, now, but I'll say it again, that it's really fucking messed up that all of these conversations seek to apply to fucking LLMs a standard of personhood we still don't consistently and meaningfully apply to other fucking humans.
So close to getting it
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

If you look at these men and think "that's what a genius looks like, I gotta give this guy all the money that has ever existed in the hopes that they build Roko's Basilisk and it rewards me for my unwavering faith in The Basilisk" then I'm sorry but you have the brain of a baby penguin
I remember encountering the TFL cookbook as a youth and having a bit of awe. I’m glad I didn’t buy it.

"So there is a new declaration in town called the “The Pro-Human AI Declaration“...before we go into the details, let’s look at who is pushing this for a second because the declaration keeps talking about how broad their coalition is"

I wish I hadn't noticed that these were formatted differently. I hope I can forget before it destroys me

Classic Chotiner interview, in that Landsman thinks it went great for him and is wondering why his family looks sad and is wearing black and there are all those casserole dishes in the kitchen
i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist
I'm not linking to yet another White Man On The Internet's blog post, but suffice to say:
No, LLM extruders *can't* do ethnographic research or social semiotic analysis
What they *have done* is flood the zone with slop that makes social science research & analysis infinitely harder than before
If you couldn't be bothered to write it, why in the name of all things holy, unholy, and mundane should I take the time to read it?
