Finished it. And I sobbed. What a wonderful wonderful book. And if only I knew then, when i read it as a kid, what I know now. But I wasn't supposed to. And that all has happened as it has... and that this book came again to me now... lord.

It’s possible that that’s what they want. It gives them an excuse to seize more power.

I think we all knew Watson’s “Rosie didn’t realize [because she was a woman and so obviously inferior to my genius]” schtick was bullshit. What’s boggling to me here is the implication that no one since ever looked at the rest of her notes. 🧪

I don’t really know what the right term should be, but it has to be a balance. I’m just pointing out the contradictions.

Creators should be compensated for their work, not have it stolen. Corporations have, through lobbying, extended copyright terms well beyond their original term. In the Copyright Act of 1790 it was 14 years, renewable for another 14. Today, it can be as much as 120 years after creation. Both bad.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Just saw Digger, and I kinda loved it. Maybe I didn’t mind that the satire is bombastic because I’m a satirist. But I found it to be fascinating and audacious, and exactly what the world needs to see.

Do people realize the majority of the damage from the stupid big greedy bill will come after the midterms? I feel like that’s getting lost in the sea of daily bullshit. My fear is the dems will win both chambers of congress and be blamed for what the republicans did right out of the gate.

I think this is a great idea. But too easy to cheat. One way they’d get around it would be to split into two companies with a business relationship between them. Put the high paying employees in one company, and the low paying ones in another.

No. I'm impressed with the LLM's transformer architecture, the attention mechanism, the math behind it, and the emergent behavior. That would probably be ok ethically if it was not trained on stolen content. I still would not want it in charge of nuclear weapons.

I think if an apocalypse is a potential outcome, then outcomes also include every bad thing up to and including that apocalypse. And those non-apocalyptic things could have adverse affects on valuations. But the entire discussion is absurd.

I think it's a valuable skill to have, but I hope we never live in a world where it's needed again. It would mean that some truly terrible things have happened.

Kevin Morgan @jvmguy.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I am genuinely impressed with what current LLM's can do, and I am not averse to using them for certain things. I also think that they way they have been trained, using copyrighted human generated content, is extremely unethical, and must be addressed with new laws and compensation for the creators.

Kevin Morgan @jvmguy.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I would have a problem with ants, dog slime, or eusocial insects being in charge of nuclear weapons. And, likewise, I would not want AI in charge of them.

I think it's a calculated strategy, but not without risks. With a lack of conventional weapon superiority, will a nuclear power use nuclear weapons as a last resort? No sane power would, but is that a good bet?

At first, generative AI was a novelty. But it has passed some threshold now, and it's likely to continue getting better. There are legitimate concerns, but more than anything, it is a threat to the current order. Our economic, legal, and social systems have not evolved to handle what is coming.

I think this was a really good experiment. Thanks for writing the article. It's good to separate the technical issues from the ethical issues. I do hope you'll write further about the ethical issues and what it might mean for the future of human creative work.

I think inflation is much higher than reported by this administration. They’re deliberately destroying the value of the dollar. So hiding in cash is not viable. That’s at least part of the reason for the market’s behavior.
