On the subject of precise language and “artificial intelligence,” I also really like this piece from Emily Tucker on power, technology, and language, and why the Center on Privacy & Technology "will stop using the terms 'artificial intelligence,' ‘AI,' and 'machine learning.’"

Executive Director Emily Tucker explains why you won’t hear us say “artificial intelligence.”

I'm waiting for somebody to jump in with "but people are already an extremely powerful but extremely weird user interface" and not to get ahead of myself but congratulations, notional jumper-in, you are neurodivergent in the direction of tremendous ongoing economic utility in the LLM era.

one reason the framing as "AI" is so bad is that it makes people think "interact with this like a person" when in fact the only way to make it remotely useful is "interact with it like an extremely powerful but extremely weird user interface"

Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AI’s massive power demands—and Trump’s done a lot to make it easier for them. Heidy Khlaaf, the head AI scientist at the AI Now Institute, tells us why that’s dangerous. @mjgault.bsky.social has the story: www.404media.co/power-compan...

"Hva fanden" ('what the devil') is a #Danish swearing expression used as part of word search, other-initiated repair, genuine requests for information with a display of stance, but also frequently used in reported speech, as part of assessing 🐦🐦 www.gespraechsforschung-online.de/fileadmin/da...
Screenshot of title and abstract:

Hva fanden ('what the devil'): A conversation analytic investigation of swearing and stance in questions and quotation

Søren Sandager Sørensen / Christina Emborg / Andrea Bruun

This study investigates the use of the swear word expression "hva fanden" ('what the devil') in Danish talk-in-interaction by analysing 17 cases using Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics. "Hva fanden" occurs in information-seeking actions, which include repair (i.e., word search and other-initiated repair) and requests for information. "Hva fanden" conveys the speaker's non-access to certain information, in word search without stance-taking but in other functions displaying a negative stance to e.g. a referent. "Hva fanden" also occurs in quoted usage, where it performs assessment by framing some conduct as worthy of a response with a negative stance, with variation in their responses (i.e., immediate or none). Through detailed analyses of interaction, the study contributes to knowledge on swearing in interaction.

LLMs are nothing more than models of the distribution of the word forms in their training data, with weights modified by post-training to produce somewhat different distributions. Unless your use case requires a model of a distribution of word forms in text, indeed, they suck and aren't useful.

one of the most important moments in television
Two stills from the television show Review showing the host sitting in a dinner booth. In the first he is smiling and looking well with the table covered in plates of pancakes before him.In this picture most of the pancakes are eaten and the host is sobbing and looking in distress
