One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

The economists and boring people who study cash flow are saying: AI is a bubble, its burst is imminent, and it's going to wash away most of economic growth of the last decade when it happens. The historians are saying: What they said. Don't ask AI how to make guillotines. Use primary sources.

Whenever I encounter the "frees up time for more meaningful work" framing I want the person using it to list, specifically, which parts of my work they think I'm wasting my time on and what more meaningful work they think I should be doing instead.

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

We argue constantly and at length about if certain groups actually deserve to be made fun of, but there is one true and unambiguously morally and ethically correct answer, and that is “people who remember 9/11 who still root their self identity in being a Slytherin”

I miss being able to get a paper map when moving to a new town. They're so helpful for understanding where things are and how they're connected. I still need a GPS most of the time, but paper maps help me *understand* a place.

If you made it to 18 without realizing that your actions impact other people I'm not sure how much college can do to change that. College campuses are FULL of students seeking to reduce harm in all kinds of ways. Sounds like maybe the writer was just... immature.

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to get Excel to put a list of numbers in ascending order. And I'm only doing this because first I tried to get Excel to give me an accurate sum (or average) of those numbers and it failed miserably. Is this what I get for turning off Copilot? 🙄

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI
