I'm sorry to be blunt, but I'm fed up with this nonsense. If you refer to LLMs or machine learning tools as *anything* Intelligence, you're either a gullible muppet or a grifter. They are not intelligent, they do not think, they do not understand.

Should I carry an air horn around all the time to warn cyclists that they’ve somehow run a red light? How many HONKs do you get from an air horn? I might have to buy in bulk.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

The problem with just using the term “ai” to mean generative ai/LLMs is that it allows boosters the bad faith argument of “oh so you want to get rid of all machine learning applications” like no I like the cancer identification sorter I just think the brain rotting autocorrect should perish

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

More than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report finds

The report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

I’m not sure this sequel to Fawlty Towers is working. Yes, having Basil as a looney pensioner ranting 24/7 on the internet under the pseudonym of Mr. Cheese is interesting in itself, but the character is too grotesque now to be believable.
