"The next four years will be terrifying for anyone interested in truth. I want to read publications whose leaders are not afraid to call a fascist a fucking fascist. I worry what @laurahelmuth.bsky.social's loss means for Scientific American, and for anyone doing and covering science."

These guys think AI is more important than life on earth. The worst dissociative disorder of all is dissociation from our only home.

One thing I don’t really get about people using AI to generate novels and short stories is this: do you not like writing? It seems like it, if you avoiding doing it. And so… why do you want to be a writer? Just for prestige? Money? Because let me tell you… that is highly unlikely.

National Archives and Library of Congress staff on the digital side are some of the best practical scholars of information systems in the world. Legends even. They're the ones raising objections. Like: "Why is the Generative AI calling itself an ‘expert archivist?’" They won't take this lightly.

This is terrible for many reasons. Beyond the major issue of the ethics of AI in the archive, there’s the minor matter that very little of NARA’s vast collection is processed, much less digitized.

FWIW, I would not blaming "the kids" or teachers. The biggest factors seem to be a) forcing teachers to "teach to the test" and focus on excerpts since that's all standardized tests care about b) the way social media + phones have made all of us all ages read less.

Recently, I tweeted about how in 90s/00s it was common to be assigned a book to read in 1 or 2 weeks. Many younger people replied they'd NEVER been assigned that much reading even while getting graduate degrees. Others said they hadn't been assigned entire books AT ALL in h.s....only excerpts.

I always find it fascinating how nobody would look at a PhD dissertation in, say, physics & think that they should automatically understand it. Any yet people think this about humanities PhDs all the time, even though both use specific knowledge and terminology most probably wouldn't already know.

We're not just talking about water for cooling servers, people. You need water to turn into steam to run turbines, too, and the more energy you need, the more water you use for that process.

Current estimates say that every prompt you give a generative "AI" system— not each session, every PROMPT— is like pouring a 16 oz bottle of water onto the ground. This is a fact that goes somewhere in every talk i give, now, & i always see audience members looking it up… and then looking horrified
