Dark day back home, lads. Drumcree standoff in 2026 wasn't on my predictions for this year. Wouldn't be surprised if in 20 years from now, this is seen as one of the cascading moments that led to the end of Northern Ireland.

over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

How about this as an alternative: mandate ASHRAE241 for all indoor public spaces and put engineers in charge of clean air for public health in hospitals, schools, clinics, government buildings, and offices. This is not the "precautionary principle" but an engineering approach: design the problem out

A Common Sense Media study found that prominent teacher assistants that use AI generated recommendations that appeared to be rooted in racial stereotypes based on students’ names. About a third of teachers report using AI weekly, according to a recent survey.

I can't even begin to describe how angry it makes me that so many people in positions of power in the medical world are fighting against this. Nobody should be getting sicker or dying because they had to go to a medical appointment or be hospitalized. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

I was in the first cohort that got the Hep B vaccine in school in Ontario. To prepare us for this momentous occasion, the province commissioned an educational video featuring a “rap” song. The chorus was “hepatitis b is a real bad rap” over and over again. It still gets stuck in my head.

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.
