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

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics.

Genuine question: why are they pretending to give a shit now, when Trump calling for journalists to be killed didn’t inspire this kind of pushback? I know why they didn’t care when he dehumanized journalists who are Black women.

As a person who's about as un-queer as it's possible to get, could people PLEASE stop telling me that I need to throw THESE queer folks under the bus so we can save THESE other queer folks? Fuck you buddy - why don't YOU go stand in front of the bus for a change? And read the poem already!

David Heinemeier Hansson called for the extermination of Romani people, comparing them to animals. An entire roster of tech tycoons responded by each personally giving him $1 million for his open source software project, even though he’s already wealthy enough to have a personal race car team.

We've had a million news cycles about the freakout from one guy who worked at Anthropic for 5 minutes saying we're all gonna die, but almost *nothing* about an actual multi-millionaire tech leader calling for an ethnic cleansing against the Roma people — an act which has happened in living memory!

FWIW I don’t think that AI is an existential threat, nor on track to become one. I do however think that the leaders of the biggest AI companies, AI’s strongest boosters, and some of the folks who are most adept at using it to exploit others are actively hastening along OTHER existential threats.

The only task for those "ask the AI how to solve the climate catastrophe" project is to distract us from doing the steps we know need to happen. By promising that a stochastic token extruder will say something magic that means we won't have to change our way of life.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

As someone who works on the interaction layer of software: it's this. Stupid trends in hardware self correct after a generation or two, but *software* ratchets in the direction of unusable because designers are occupied with interaction patterns and not whether the fucking thing works properly.

All the devs saying that Anthropic’s code quality is “normal” are telling on themselves and everybody they’ve worked with (Also supports what many have been saying about software quality being a crisis that precedes LLMs, but that’s another story)

It doesn't matter if the tech you used to do a thing is exciting or interesting if 1) it doesn't actually do the thing or 2) the negative side effects of using the tech outweigh the benefits of the thing you used it for

I could go into a Paul Lockhart-esque rant about "what we teach isn't really MATH", but that's honestly not the point. The point is that the culture of mathematics and mathematics teaching had a terrible ROT inside of it. It is a rot born of ego and anger and arrogance, and it HURTS people.

As a former math instructor, this bugs the FUCK outta me. I had students in my business calc class who confessed to being brought to TEARS by former math teachers. I started asking who hated or feared math at the beginning of the semester, and the number of hands that went up was heart-wrenching.

When the misinformation is runs constant and at 200 decibels, it’s hard to get facts out to the public! We like to blame science communicators for failing their audiences, but they’re working in a system designed to profit off fear and lies. It won’t be fixed until social media/news changes

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.
