When iOS autocorrects "wow" to "WoW" does it mean "week-over-week" or "World of Warcraft"?

The key is labeling enemies as “bad people”. Then when they fight back, it’s not blowback, it’s just bad people being bad.

The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them "recover." It's trying to prove dangerous conversion practices can work.

I looked up recently what the success rate for LLMs tuned for doing accounting is because that’s an ideal use case and it was like below 70% which is super unacceptable, like if your accountant fucked up that much you’d go to prison.

AI-generated code shifts the real burden of development onto *validation*, yes.

But humans can't validate your code by reading it any more than tests can validate it by turning green.

"Is it gonna work? Is it gonna work?? IS IT???" Bub, you don't get to know til you put it in production.

I have in no way been aligned with the past 20 years of French politics.

But I have to admit I’m kind of enjoying how our country has been leveraging our natural talent at being snarky assholes on the international stage. 🤭

There was no mastermind or grand scheme, but there was a successful effort by wealthy men, including Epstein, to destroy a status quo that they feared was trending towards greater accountability.

The culture of impunity is so strong that these men do crimes and then *email each other at length about it*

If anything, this is additional evidence that Musk has never once taken care of any one of his children.

Bilbo asking ChatGPT whether he should keep the ring. After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right - you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

"They program the AI" boggles my mind

People excited with humanoid robots obviously do not share a home with a dog or a toddler.

More from Cory Doctorow:

The parallel with the Industrial Revolution and the Luddites is jarring.

"Textile automation wasn't just about producing more cloth – it was about producing cheaper, worse cloth. The new machines were so easy a child could use them, because that's who was using them."

As LLM-centric automation continues to devalue the labor of development, we will have less and less negotiating power. Our white collar is turning blue.
