Why do they get so worked up over this particular critical framework time and time again? I sat down with @emilymbender.bsky.social, one of the coauthors of the original paper, to discussbloodinthemachine.comThe two words the AI industry hates more than anythingI talk with computational linguist Emily M. Bender, co-author of the influential 2021 “stochastic parrots” paper, about why AI industry leaders can’t stop seething over the term. 13413112
Reposted by Jimmy Butlerian JihadCurb Your Malthusiasm @manucleardevice.bsky.social · 18hAt some point we should talk about how facile “tax the rich” is as a program, there’s no point in taxing billionaires harder if we leave the existing articulations of private property and profit motive in place. Especially when it’s so easily gamed thru the legislative process 55715

Reposted by Jimmy Butlerian JihadAaron Blackshear @aaronblackshear.bsky.social · 19hThe ways the people behind it are trying to infiltrate every aspect of our lives, I think most people are better off not using any of it. Most people aren't coders. Most people shouldn't offload their thinking. 2449
Reposted by Jimmy Butlerian JihadAaron Blackshear @aaronblackshear.bsky.social · 19hI think this is correct, but I also don't think it matters all that much. Even as someone who over-indexes on "get the facts right/know how things work, even for things that are bad", the whole ecosystem is poisoned enough that I think it's fine for people to dismiss it altogether if they want to 47110
