The Paris AI Summit is a rug pull. It suckers in commentary and commitment from those at the bottom (looking at you civil society 👀) and cashes out headlines and investment for governments & their corporate pals.

A living wage shouldn’t be a luxury. Demand better. UNIONIZE.

Imagine a world where you could get a union job training otters.

Roses are red Plasma is hot If you use GenAI Please, can you not

AI bros: LLMs models are clearly capable thinking and reasoning Critics: here are some notable failure cases, maybe we should reconsider how we are evaluating these models and be transparent about the functionality/limitations AI bros: you keep focusing on negatives, who cares

Good that Mollick noted that "effectiveness is not measured", but people who work in this space have a responsibility to explicitly say "don't use LLMs for therapy". The paper references the ELIZA paper but not "Computer Power and Human Reason", which is an unacceptable omission

I would like to read an essay about how anti Me Too backlash is central to understanding what Democratic elites and journalists mean when they talk about the party becoming “too left.” They will never say it out loud, but it’s 100% there.

adding alt text real quick; sorry if i missed a typo

“not everything is about oligarchy” is totally correct. no doubt about it. it’s also an awfully convenient line to stick to while tech billionaires strip our democracy for parts and their lobby groups aggressively boost your book

I hope that people caught up in yimby orgs learn to channel their efforts into something other than Kinder Gentler Neoliberalism. But that would require them to ask themselves why their ideas are providing them proximity to wealth and power, and whether that's worth the cost

every politician and pundit who put student protesters in danger but is now trying to pull back with "well I didn't mean THAT": you're responsible too and you should never, ever be allowed to live it down for the rest of your days
