On a panel at the recent Festival of Dangerous Ideas, researcher into the psychological impacts of AI, Eleanor Gammell, used the term "LLMings" (L-L-Lemmings) to describe those hurling themselves into unquestioned AI adoption.

Amazing how there’s so much corruption but it only seems to happen in NSW and doesn’t involve any fed MPs or agencies what a coincidence

I'm currently in the middle of PhD research that is showing unequivocally that this is not even close to a thing. Women are still massively underrepresented in the curriculum and almost every teacher I interviewed raised the manosphere's influence on male students as an explicit blocker.

The IDF, and those who fought for the IDF in the genocide in Gaza, should not be celebrated or platformed in any country that believes in humanity and basic international justice. They should not be allowed to use the Sydney marathon as a platform this weekend.

What is wrong with this place? Politicians are meant to be here making laws to protect democracy, to protect Australians, to protect freedom of speech. Instead, the Greens are fighting Labor and the Coalition to keep Australians safe from their own government.

When AI companies talk about the risks of AI, they’re exaggerating and misleading so people aren’t talking about the real harms we’re seeing right now. That’s why it’s important to examine the tech, not listen to the companies and CEOs. disconnect.blog/bernie-sande...
The real risks of AI are not the existential ones that people like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei obsess about and that Sanders has taken to repeating. Instead, they stem from the more tangible effects AI has on regular people’s lives: how dependence on chatbots can affect cognition and critical thinking, create addiction that isolates people from their human networks, and can even coach them down harmful paths of self-harm and suicide. That’s not to mention how AI has polluted the information environment, enabled the creation of nonconsensual deepfakes, and is actively degrading cultural production.

'human caused' feels like it just sort of emerges from the human body like an ooze, rather than a small number of highly influential political and corporate players actively decided to keep a dangerous fuel prominent in society when we could ditch it way faster than we are right now

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case. "My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

created an infographic to explain why arguing the hypocrisy of fascist talking points only helps erode your point. don't fight bad faith with good faith. don't engage with their point. don't meet them where they are. they're killing people. eat their frame.
an image using sprites from Kirby's Adventure from the NES

two series of animations

1st series. Kirby standing still and then runs into a star and gets injured. it is captioned "negating a frame reinforces it"

2nd series: Kirby encounters a star, eats it, and then blasts it out as a fireball. it is captioned "eat their frame"
