If we want to regulate AI, why not start with a simple ban on LLMs using "I"? Easy to build, easy to verify and deflates a hype while still allowing people to use chatbots (so no one can claim we are limiting anything) My latest for @volkskrant.nl in English! www.felienne.nl/2026-10-08/#...

lol even research by "AI" enthusiasts can't hide how corrosive these products are. Tbc even if there was a research consensus that "AI" products were great for people's mental health, I'd still refuse to use them for all of the other reasons. But meanwhile, back in reality, this shit's bad.

Can we be honest that so called 'wokeness' meant Black people demanding full social personhood and refusing to be silent about getting murdered/harmed by the state? So yes, that is more threatening to many in this country than is fascism. I think that's been clear.

the speed at which human beings move from "this terrible thing exists" to "everyone just has to learn to live with it" is truly alarming and illuminating. Immediately moving to compliance. Watching this in real time is incredible.

Yeah I'm very much in favor of people finding ways to exercise autonomy in their lives, but I feel like that is not going to be found in the products that are specifically designed to destroy autonomy and which are catastrophically harmful to the mental and physical health of everyone involved

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

The left isn’t weak because of infighting. The left is weak because every facet of our society and economy is geared to the benefit of fascism and white supremacy and it is the challenge of multiple lifetimes to dismantle all of that.

Yeah it feels like textbook "liberal" reactionary centrism—the *real* (/s) problem that leads to fascism/"anarchy"/whatever is that somebody, somewhere, is not being "nice"

Also they need to let go of the idea that computers are gonna allow them to skip the hard work of real world observation and experiment. Its so annoying how many think we can just machine learning predict our way to transformative results when that at best just tells you the shape of existing data

Interesting how Mollick will gush about how some research-shaped marketing piece on arXiv about "AI" capabilities heralds an exciting new future, but he remains studiously committed to not expressing an opinion about a powerful critique of "AI" coming from his colleagues in academia

When I'm getting off the train and people are blocking the door, I used to say "excuse me I'm getting off the train" and they'd look at me as if to say "what does that have to do with me?" so now I just shoulder through them

If you assert bodies are machines, there's nothing further to say. Machines have certain properties (such as having been engineered) that to people who disagree with you and with (especially naive or strong) mechanical materialism it is obvious that bodies do not have.

One of the handful of articles telling it like it is instead of misinforming the public. By @saragoud.bsky.social for @thebulletin.org Yes. Its bad science based on numbers out of various behinds, but that's not how most of the rest of the media is discussing it. thebulletin.org/2026/09/how-...

How the bad science of AI doomerism is good for big business

There is no clear path showing that today’s AI systems will lead to superintelligence, much less a basis for calculating the probability of doom.

It's Wold Octopus Day. Remember to hug your octopus.

O is for Octopus: A screenprint done for a show of alphabet illustrations. A pink-purple octopus posed with its arms all curling around every which way, holding a gold letter 'O' inscribed with a tentacle design. At the bottom there's a human skull nestled within the arms.

CephaLovePod: A screenprint of a red octopus posing with its mantle and arms forming a valentine heart shape. It is wrapped around a harpoon in place of Cupid's arrow.

4 Limbs Bad... 8 Limbs Good.: A screenprint of an orange octopus on the bottom of a sea wrapped around and cradling a broken human femur and a skull. A banner bears the title of the piece.

Octopus Samurai: A screenprint of a pink-ish octopus wearing blue-green Japanese samurai armor and a helmet with a gold crab-shaped crest on the front. The octopus holds a katana in one arm, a wakizashi in another, and a naginata with two other arms.
