Yes, because it is really important to smoke, try heroin, download CSAM (!!!), or burn plastic, etc etc to be able to discuss the dangers and harms of those activities.

Maybe after I see what the job market looks like I'll be more friendly to the plagiarism machine but I am holding out hope that I don't have to touch it.

I tried refusal and no longer have a job. But I'm not willing to concede yet that I made the wrong choice.

Thank you for sharing - this is interesting and scary! I just wish the copy weren't full of LLM ick 🫠

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

I'm not sure "former Verge writer" is enough of a qualification to earn trust to responsibly report on the AI industry

Compared to the "agentic" approach where you're on the hook for unpredictable token burn because the LLM put a typo in the web address and got 404 errors for 12 hours

Sure, you can generate that code with an LLM or swarm of agents (though I wouldn't). But at least at the end of the LLM's involvement you have code that will run deterministically and affordably.

rohmeo.bsky.social @rohmeo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Similar to this comment bsky.app/profile/cour..., the determinism of a script or app seems much more appealing if you care about doing something reliably.

Assuming this is an LLM-based agent - what is the appeal of introducing an unknown amount of variability into the meal planning process? Like a recipe that you can't reproduce, or mismatch of required ingredients, or navigating to the wrong grocery store/location?

My wife and I have given him the title "Enemy of Literacy" based on his terrible approach to school libraries and always refer to him as "Enemy of Literacy Rahm Emanuel". So, no support in our house either

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

Ah ok, I hadn't heard about that coming up before! I wonder if trying to replicate the "how much of a Harry Potter book can we elicit from the model" tests but with popular FOSS library snippets would pay off. It doesn't outright counter their claim but makes it hard to keep it up in good faith

I've been wondering about how source code copyrights factor into this discussion, especially as it relates to training the models on code. Surely they were trained with some GPL source. Could that mean that the model itself is subject to disclosure? (I/YANAL so just speculating)

This sounds good, but how do we spin up a massive hype cycle that sways people mandating LLM use (like my boss)? They're already not paying attention to evidence from the early studies that indicate negative effects

Chaos on New York’s Streets, Brought to You by the NYPD
The police seem to run reds whenever they feel like it — and only they could say whether it’s a real emergency.

Looking into the paper a little bit iceberg.mit.edu/report.pdf (the link is broken on their website), the first appendix seems to say "we used an LLM to match up which skills LLM tools offer with which skills humans use at work" which also feels shoddy

What if we paid the agents to quit? A la the (failed) "Clarence Thomas retire now" offer that John Oliver made a while ago. Seems like encouraging even a few defections in various field teams would gum up the works

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

There are road signs on I-85 in VA that read "Speed limit enforced by aircraft". I thought this meant that a helicopter would come pick up your car with a big magnet if you were caught speeding
