When Good Georgians Get Together, Great Things Happen
How I’d Fix Atlanta was a free monthly essay series for four years. It’s been a couple of print zines and a performance on a stage a few times. Quite often, it’s stickers. HIFA is large, it contains multitudes. Every September, we do a big fundraiser to abolish medical debt. From 2023-2025, we raised more than […]

Join me in signing this letter. I bought my first house in this neighborhood in 1996 for $85K. Modern day young people deserve the chance to live in this neighborhood, too.

LLMs are word generators. They were trained on the writings of humans who describe their own consciousness, so the fact that they mimic (or outright replicate) those writings when told to be more factual isn't strange. The idea that any of this output is eerie is propaganda.

Switching off AI's ability to lie makes it more likely to claim it's conscious, eerie study finds
Leading AI models from OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic and Google described subjective, self-aware experiences when settings tied to deception and roleplay were turned down.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

My god these guys are such spectacular morons gizmodo.com/billionaires...
Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber who no longer works at the company, appeared on All-In to talk with hosts Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya about the future of technology. When the topic turned to AI, Kalanick discussed how he uses xAI’s Grok, which went haywire last week, praising Adolf Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust against Jews.

“I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”

It must feel amazing to launch a dinger out of Truist Park. Sending a rocket through the front window of a 300-seat Bonefish Grill in the adjacent mall, all the Vineyard Vines dudes in there are so scared at the sound that they instantly jump into their Sorcerer-size SUVs and drive 55 minutes home.

It's bad to take the smartest and most curious young people in our society and funnel them into a decade of low pay apprenticeship where they slowly learn the arcane levers of prestige ritual and funding bureaucracy so they can have a better chance of becoming grant gremlins.
