This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

LLMs are predictive language models. They do not 'think' or 'feel', they are designed to produce output that looks / sounds like human language. If an LLM produces the phrase, "I feel pain," it is still just output that looks / sounds like human language. There is nothing to explain here.

It's funny that for years now people have been saying that using generative AI very obviously deskills you, and people kept going no no you're wrong you Luddite And now all the genAI CEO's keep coming out in public to announce they forgot how to read and do math and can't remember their address etc

All else aside there is nothing I want or need genAI to do for me. I like reading. I like doing research. I like playing around in spreadsheets. I like interviewing people. I like writing. I like doing these things for myself because I take pleasure in the doing and they make me a better thinker.

. A common refrain: “Why should I bother coming to class or doing the work if the teacher is just going to give an AI-generated lecture?” In a poll, most students told the Tech they are uncomfortable with the idea of AI teaching assistants.

Our listening sessions reinforced how alert students are to instructors’ behavior: Students notice when instructors are clearly using AI for slides, feedback, or grading while imposing restrictions on student use, and they perceive it as a double standard.

As I was looking something up and bypassed the AI overview to go to a reputable site for the info I needed, it occurs to me that a significant cultural problem is prioritizing “efficiency” over accuracy — something that tremendously benefits the people in power who care little for truth.

@rweingarten.bsky.social, this is a horror. Teachers cited in this article say they're using "A.i." to develop lesson plans for kids with disabilities and imply that they're feeding student data into LLMs. This is using untested, dangerous teach on vulnerable kids AND possibly violating privacy law.
