I applaud you and your staff at Marketplace, Mr. Ryssdal. You have to not only go through SCOTUS’s decision for today’s broadcast, but God help you or whoever has to listen to whatever in hell Trump is TRYING to say live on air (I work in law and don’t want to listen to it!).

Starts out correctly, that you shouldn’t be shoving things up your rear (at least for nutrition, consenting adults do as you wish non-food wise). Then it ignores its own warning and proceeds. I’ll definitely use this to help people see LLMs don’t think, just pattern match text to please inquirers.

All farts generally sound the same to me. Would someone whose ears can detect the unique difference of individual flatulence be called a … fartiophile? 🤔

In real life, team builders probably stopped this exercise many years ago when employees who weren’t caught on the way to the floor sued their employers lol.

As someone who watched Louis Rukeyser as a kid then moved on to Bob Brinker, Ric Edelman, and Mr Ryssdal as the years went on, I can’t believe I lived long enough for my investment strategy to being reduced to simply what’s the dumbest thing the President will/can do, then bet against it.

Oh some of us in America came to that conclusion YEARS ago lol. “It just sounded like when they sent people to rap multiplication to me when I was an inner-city youth, ’cause they’re like, that’s the way we’re going to get through to them.” - Jerrod Carmichael

Yep, I can see a whole new stream of revenue for legal practices that just review other legal folks use of AI.

As someone working in law, it's scary how lazy people have gotten. It's not rocket science to use Lexis or Westlaw compared to LLMs. It was bad enough when lawyers and legal assistants were lazy and doing this, but for judges and courts to rule based on this mess...we are so screwed...

After being in the military, traveling overseas, and seeing the intellectual disparity between American and foreign media, I stopped reading US newspapers years ago. Reading Emily Bender in today's FT, who is a lot less charitable on AI than Dr. Marcus. NYT, clutch your pearls...

Being former military, "Kiwi" made me laugh, as we would use "beadwindow" in radio transmissions if security was breached. I imagined CoPilot calling out to Nadella or Altman for help, "Kiwi! Kiwi! Kiwi!"

APllc @afrontiers.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

It's final attempt (5 tries), no r's at all ("Kiwi" must be a safe word 😅):

I used MS CoPilot on my Android phone (Fold 5). Every attempt looked like that picture with r's being ignored in "Orange" or "Strawberry". It seemed fond of "Kiwi" repeating it at the end of each one. Eventually it asked ME to move on rather than solve the problem.

Doesn't surprise me. I still have younger relatives (I'm a older Gen X) who ask me the most basic things. I'm like, I'm flattered you think I'm so smary but, uh, you do have an iPhone and Google and news apps, right?

I'm so glad you stated this. As a lay person, I've often thought that the AI push by corporate tech was somewhat "religious" in a psychological tone, but it's great to see an expert point that out.

One recourse is lawsuits. It's clear that "DEI" is being used as a means and excuse for outright discrimination, and this needs to be brought up repeatedly in federal courts.

The only upside to your last point is that I'm hopeful China and Europe will step up on vaccinations. I'm sure they still understand disease spread and pandemics even if America has decided to embrace 12th Century science.

As ridiculous as RFK's suggestion is, a small, dark part of me wants it to happen. It would be massively stupid and catastrophic to the economy, but we will only get change with this crew when their own followers feel the pain.

It's cliche, but it really is about the kids. They will fondly remember meeting Mr. Smart for years to come. Amish farmers coming to my 3rd grade class and teaching us city kids to make butter in a churn is a school visit I still cherish decades later!
