so we just nearly started a war with china (a nuclear state) because of genAI use

The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode.
According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.
The report, according to one of the sources, was "entirely false." But it also "almost started a war," the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

it's not lost on me how critical it is to be building community-driven social technology in this time, because there's a lot we need - more joy, more connection, more education, more agency, and more privacy. breaking out of the box of "social media" - what are the tools we need in these times?

I had a great three rounds with a company and the CTO walked me around their office introducing me to everyone, told me I did great, and I would hear back next week. I was ghosted until I got an automated rejection four weeks later.

By independent thought I've arrived at the same conclusion with software development and pure math. I like doing these things and if they're not economically viable to do pre-LLM style then that's unfortunate. Not as unfortunate as doing nothing.

tangentially related I saw someone say: the only way to figure something out pre-LLMs was to ask an expert or hope someone already answered your exact question online Missing the obvious case of... figuring it out yourself? Suffice to say I do trust their judgment far less

I think about this all the time. Same ycombinator cohort, both of them are guilty of ingesting incredible amounts of protected data. The only difference is that Aaron published JSTOR textbooks so everyone could have access to education and Sam made a chatbox for us to rent knowledge work.

say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll never stop loving the unreasonable effectiveness of proof by contradiction. Can't figure out how to prove something? Just say nuh-uh and see if it collapses your worldview or not.

I would have best answered this question for myself by flipping a coin... AFAIK the intellectual answer goes: astro has component "islands" you can use to inject other frameworks; so if you think you'll need that go astro. For everything else 11ty.
