The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman.

The text in the Tweet says:
SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Wunderbare Rezension von @peertrilcke.bsky.social zu Sybille Krämers "Stachel des Digitalen". Die #DigitalHumanities besitzen die Expertise; eine öffentliche intellektuelle Einordnung (von sich selbst, von Digitalität/Geisteswissenschaften, vom Einfluss von genAI) überlassen sie anderen.

“You see the go-fast-but-also-meh-whatever vibe everywhere if you look for it.“ Interesting think-piece on Agentic AI and AI security. Guess we have never been closer to living in a Thomas Pynchon novel before.

Also, this. The lack of productivity boost from AI has been well covered on Bluesky, certainly. It's just odd that it can *feel* like a boost. But every time it's tested, this loss is reported. www.theregister.com/2026/02/18/a...

Perhaps still the best general purpose explainer of how an LLM works and the one I give to students. Here’s why I like it (short🧵): ig.ft.com/generative-ai/

Generative AI exists because of the transformer

The technology has resulted in a host of cutting-edge AI applications — but its real power lies beyond text generation

I'm so excited for this. As @ryancordell.bsky.social says, Dan Evans has done a terrific job, with the assistance of Ben Galewsky in Illinois computing. Thanks also to @dennmis.bsky.social and Freie Universität Berlin, who hosted the hackathon that gave us an additional push.
