this matches my experience, but the stats are not very persuasive. “at least one AI-related incident in 6 months”? everything is AI-related if everyone is using AI all the time, which they are in many places

we have control mechanisms for this. it's called The Law. these guys should be held personally liable for these harms. the suicides, the thefts, the intrusions into computer systems. they should be sued and prosecuted as appropriate. problem immediately solved

As a pragmatic centrist, I read the Niemöller poem differently. After each group mentioned I pencil in what percentage of the population they are, and if it’s a small number I cross off their names as disposable. Poetry is fine but math wins elections!!

I am exasperated with people accusing programmers of "gatekeeping" programming. We were practically dragging people through the gate. Do you know why a mindless LLM can tell you so much great programming information? It's because we've been sharing that information for free online for decades.

This is why I don’t take the “being anti data centre construction is dumb because all of our tech infrastructure needs data centres to operate” claim seriously. These companies all had net zero emissions goals that they were roughly on track to hit until 2022-ish!

My GP recently asked me to declare my AGAB. I refused, and asked her to talk through consequences. She explained one benefit was that I would not be offered breast cancer screening. I pointed to my tits and said that I do in fact have breasts. She looked at them, paused, and said yes I can see that.

AI is a marketing term; before we discuss "AI is fake" vs "AI is real" we need to unfold what we *mean* by AI. For example, "artificial general intelligence" is fake and can't hurt you. Layoffs excused by "AI efficiency" are real and can hurt you. Linkedin discourse is fake - but it CAN hurt you.

Auto-complete: real, can't hurt you
Super-intelligence: not real, can't hurt you
Layoffs: real, can hurt you
LinkedIn: not real, can hurt you.

Maybe beside the point but there is no evidence to support ‘learning styles’; in practice they’re usually invoked by students as a way of getting to avoid doing things that seem hard, like reading dense prose. Not at all surprising then that “getting chatgpt to do all the work for you” counts as one
