Always fascinated that the previous month’s estimates on jobs leads the news but never the revisions, especially the revisions down, which led the news just a month and two months ago. Maybe, and hear me out, we close the loop and previous guesses before we throw more guesses out into the world.

Just saw a commercial during the national NFL game showing the president walking with his voice in the background outlining past promises and it says “paid for by the U.S. Government” and I have questions.

What I love about public records requests here in New Mexico is this undefined "excessively broad and burdensome" clause that agencies get to lean on for ... everything. Like every request. Nothing like being reminded every two weeks of the burden you are on those working on your behalf.

Email from New Mexico Public Education Department regarding a public records request.

At a store over the weekend, my son and I approached an escalator that wasn't working, and I just said out loud, "Escalator temporarily stairs," and from out of nowhere I heard someone say "Sorry for the convenience" and my hope for the future grew 10 fold.

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)_/¯

The AI discourse I'd like to be having, what I think is missing (especially among more "pro"-AI spaces), is things like the ethics of different models and different types of models and the provenance of their training data. The ethics of models that run on local hardware vs data centers. Etc...

Using AI helps people get higher grades and get their work done faster, but they learn less & suffer on actual exams I saw this in my own large Intro Psych class: -the exam average is 85% -after AI, it shot up to 95% -after I made the final in person it went to 68% www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Aw man, such incredibly sad news about Glen Hansard! What a huge loss of poetic curiosity, vocal peerlessness, musical creativity, and genuine connective kindness. He turned our 45-minute interview into a two-hour hang and had the greatest boom of a laugh. youtu.be/FCxT0CnOq9s

Updating some slides for a group of New Mexico journalists... can't tell if this goes hard enough...

Presentation slide that reads

# LLMs are not your friend

- AI may sound confident while being wrong
- They generate plausible text, not verified facts.
- LLMs make things up. They "hallucinate" and fabricate.
- Every claim or number must be verified and sourced.
- Just like Wikipedia, AI output shouldn't be quoted.

But...

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.
