Apparently this needs spelling out: If you see a philosopher use the term "bullshit" in regards to LLM's or GPT-type "AI", we're probably not using it in the colloquial sense of "fake," but rather in accord w/ the specific sense of "not concerned with…

Exactly how many talks, policy papers, interviews, and reports do you think are out there warning about precisely this likelihood? Because I know it's a lot more than a few. "‘We Acted Too Quickly’: Over Half of Companies Regret AI-Driven Layoffs, Report…

When private equity buys companies & strips them for parts for profits like a pack of zombie locusts, infecting everyone they touch with a ravenous hunger for short-term gain, their plan is always "on to the next one." But when they do it to the whole…

Oh fuck literally every single part of this; not only removing privacy protections, but ACTIVELY INCREASING PRIVACY HARMS by giving *Federal Preferences* to the data brokerage industry??? No. Fuck this, no. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I know it unfortunately isn't an option for everybody, but, if you're calling federal legislators, try book-ending the bad calls w/ good. Like, I called my rep's local office, then my senators' DC & local, then my rep's DC office, so I ended on an up note.…

Oh Target no. There is nothing happening here that an application of "AI" will make *better*. Just… Just reverse course, y'all. Some people will take you back if you just fix this and publicly amend your corporate charter to say nothing like it will ever…

I should go to bed, but I'm honestly scared about what tomorrow is going to look like, & a kid-brain part of me keeps feeling like if I don't sleep it won't technically be tomorrow. But older me keeps trying to tell kid-me what we know: Tomorrow still…

So when next we tell you that it's a terrible idea to fire your writers and editors and either a) hire some of them back as "assistants" to clean up LLM generated "AI" slop or b) just wholly rely on content mills which do the same, i want you to remember…

This kind of thing, by the way, is exactly why a ten year moratorium on "AI" regulations would be a FUCKING TERRIBLE idea. Without meaningful regulations backing up an ability to sue for damages, there's not much to quickly force these people to stop…
