As I’ve said a million times, I’m not particularly against smart uses of AI This is the stupidest use I’ve seen yet though

$recent Axios story on maternal health policy referenced "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. On the surface, there's nothing unusual about that. What wasn't originally mentioned, however, was that these findings were made up. Clicking through the links revealed (as did a subsequent editor's note and clarification by Axios) that the public opinion poll was a computer simulation run by the artificial intelligence start-up Aaru. No people were involved in the creation of these opinions. The practice Aaru used is called silicon sampling, and it's suddenly everywhere. The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing. Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use A.I. agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.$

I wrote about the endless temptation successful people feel to justify and feel justified in a clearly toxic system. Happy new year. open.substack.com/pub/rottenan...

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally. And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

Here's my recap of Game 7, or at least, my recap of 15 seconds of Game 7. It can give out from under you at any moment.

Locking replies for an older thread is one thing and I get that, but in what world does preventing people from even seeing an older question make sense, especially when it's done on a selective basis? Absolutely baffling decision.

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

As I said the other day, there are two kinds of people: those who've seen a 130 year old piece of equipment in some machine shop that is the only thing that can make a widget that upholds a global manufacturing network, and those who think manufacturing supply chains are easy/just happen
