tech companies anthropomorphize AI agents to deflect responsibility. if they succeed, they can sell "agent that drops a bomb (it wasn't you)" and "agent that surveils employee (it wasn't you)" and "agent that violates GDPR (it wasn't you)," etc etc. this is kind of "1st thing to realize" here.

anyone who doesn't realize the connection between EA/AI doomerism/AI enthusiasm and racism/racial purity/white supremacy is not worth listening to on the AI topic. yes, the sex cult stuff is also about this too. people really need to catch up, this is all old nazi idealism stuff.

my favorite recent example is getting a splunk add-on from a saas vendor, and the package they sent included info and keys of the configuration they built and tested the add-on with (they just naively zipped up the folder). fairly sure it included PII from their company logs + access to their tenant

there used to be a stigma against believing in technologies and motivations that we now simply take for granted.

noting that this is basically part of the worldbuilding in Mary Doria Russell's excellent novel, The Sparrow.

good writing is having your toughguy character authoritatively say, "We're done." GREAT writing is having some other toughguy character respond, "No, we're not done!"

i'm thinking of watching Evangelion for the 100~th time in 25~ years. (it's been at least 5 years) does anyone (maybe @shengokai.blacksky.app ?) know a good write up that i could read along while i do? like a critical blog or set of articles? it's a weird request, but i want to spice things up.

i believe people should follow because criminalizing and punishing people does not make us safer, it only reduces our ability to participate in society, to support each other, to express ideas and freedom. this must be countered, and doing so requires skills and knowledge, such as IC provides.

if you're interested in AI, and really want to a clear understanding of the conceptual issues around it (as well as history, ethics, etc), i would suggest reading anything @abeba.blacksky.app writes about it whenever you get the chance.

An open letter in the Guardian generating more backlash and anger than Black people being systematically abandoned without power for weeks in Gary, Indiana is US leftism in a nutshell 🎪

a thing that bothers me re: "second chance" narratives for ppl like platner is that one is encouraged to feel bad for him, around the shame, etc. and like, it's *good* to be held accountable. you're lucky if ppl hold you accountable. if you respond with hostility, *you're still messing up.* 1/2

wasn't prepared for the discourse today to be "gentrification is good actually." never great when the very privileged decide to take a *complete* break from nuance.

the idea of meritocracy obfuscates the complexity of all human endeavors. no one is so good that they're good at everything... which is fine when you realize that everything important is made of the contributions of many people.

it's absolutely a coincidence that it's the end of the work week and i'm blasting semi-coherent replies on every post i see. completely unrelated, not at all to do with burn out.

It occurred to me today that the Coen brothers' Burn After Reading and Lanthimos's Bugonia are companion films. The former is about how individual humans with the power to influence geopolitics act absurdly, while "smaller" individuals act absurdly in the shadow of sociopolitical influences. 1/6

it didn't occur to me until embarrassingly late in life that the idea "technology is at worst neutral, at best inherently virtuous" is one of the most devastating propaganda wins of our era. i only realized after hearing ppl use the word around decarceration. tools developed to harm are not neutral.
