I get at least three heartbreaking, incoherent emails a day now from random strangers who believe they’ve awakened an LLM god or LLM consciousness of a new dimension. The most salient quote from the screenshots below: “(An LLM) will never just say, ‘Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about??’”

Lest I be hand-waved away for “emotional responses” to AI I feel pretty okay saying that now is not the moment to be wrapping up data collection and storage in the USA (including potentially sensitive health information) in some pretty culturally deaf marketing and calling it the future.

It’s flag day here, which normally isn’t something anyone celebrates, but this year is a bit different for some reason! Anyways here are a few rejected Canadian flags from the Great Flag Debate in the 1960s in order of how much I love them. 🧵

Am I wrong to hope that this might mean a little more collaboration, jointly taught programming, student mobility? Probably not as it would mean overhauling funding.but I can dream of a return to public education as a societal good and away from market logics. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
