I’m on a committee for a student doing (old fashioned) multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, and it got me thinking, LLMs are that, but with some very large number of objectives, regardless of your prompt. Humans are the same, but we have some idea what the objectives are in most cases.

The US Web Design System is load-bearing infrastructure for thousands of government websites. It makes it easy for small teams with no resources (i.e. most .gov teams) to make usable, accessible websites that work for everyone. Today, it's as close as it's ever been to being replaced with AI slop.

After 20 years of legal practice while watching increase Republican lawlessness, my view is less abstract legal theorizing and more carving into a rock "if a proſecutour bringeth a cauſe without merit, then ſhall he ſerue the ſelfe-ſame ſentence which he ſought for the falſely accuſed."

Interacting with LLM chatbots is like talking to a con artist or a dementia patient or a half-drunk acquaintance at cocktail party: I think this could lead to insights into language storage and construction and feedback in social interaction.

I keep coming back to this idea in evaluating AI applications, especially as I’ve given up on narrowing the definition of “AI.” Does the use of AI change the context or the non-content signals? (This is the gist of the “if you don’t bother writing, I won’t bother reading” sentiment about GenAI.)
