Inspectors General offices have been downsized by 19%. Not surprisingly then, they are providing 25% fewer investigations despite there being much more to investigate. Reports are also taking longer to be published. The acting IG for Education was removed after she complained about stonewalling.

To be clear, the orange felon didn’t make a deal for cheaper beef to help Americans, he orchestrated a plan to flood the US with unknown foreign mystery meat to sicken the population whilst simultaneously betraying ranchers who voted for him. Yes he’s a fraud, but he’s also sadistic.

Yesterday I sat through a presentation showing off pretty animations of longstanding concepts that someone made with Claude, and my only thought was, why did he waste resources and plagiarizing to recreate the wheel? Hashtag arrogance.

I hear the same people talking about 'emergent behavior' of LLMs. I feel like what they are missing is that the only emergent behavior is that their are minds anthropomorphizing a language generator, because they equate language fluency with intelligence.

It's different for AI in that employers are demanding that students know how to use it judiciously. To use your allegory, employers are hiring 6 pack a day smokers.

There is no good use of generative AI because the technology was built on theft of creative labor. If that position surprises you from an artist whose life's work was scraped and used without permission to train trillion dollar technology, educate yourself. www.michaelwhelan.com/faq/#digital...

There's no good reason to use LLMs, and nearly every vaguely legit use case I've seen could be solved with a plain Google search or a simple screen reader and OCR. In other words, with tools we've had for a decade. Why are people fooled by these ELIZA machines?

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.
