Sorry I know we're done with iced coffee discourse but I've now used the phrase "iced coffee interviewing" twice to describe people making hiring decisions based on irrelevant trivialities instead of assessing the candidate's actual skills and I feel like this one has legs

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Would you realize if the book you were reading was AI? What if it was humanized to remove AI-speak? We find that even without using stylistic cues (e.g., word choice or sentence structure) narrative choices alone give AI fiction away!

Looking behind the headline: 1. Guardrails = good. But when we let companies build their own guardrails, they are often avoiding the guardrails we NEED: ones imposed by third parties to serve the public interest. 🧵

When we talk about the costs that LLMs impose on society we should not forget the fact that nothing works anymore because everyone is so scared of getting their shit scraped. I can't even use google scholar from my university or starlink because they send too much traffic.
