I argue that LLMs are the opposable thumb of computing:

fundamentally novel range of motion that, when combined with the error-correcting fingers of conventional computing, change what's possible altogether

LLMs: the opposable thumb of computing

Amidst all the hype, all the skepticism, all the rending of clothes, I am here to tell you: the LLM is to computing what the thumb is to our hand.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

(Exclusive.) Bari Weiss this week clocks up four weeks on the job as chief booker (sorry, editor-in-chief) of CBS News. Breaker hears that she has unimpressed staffers with a series of bold ideas in the 9 am call.

Last week, following the jewel heist at The Louvre, Weiss suggested they interview author Dan Brown. Staffers questioned what expertise in the matter Brown would provide CBS News viewers? Brown is well known as the bestselling author of the 2003 mystery novel, The Da Vinci Code, about a murder at The Louvre.

On Tuesday’s 9 am call, Weiss suggested a story about how people who are scared of climate change aren’t having children. “She is showing her worst self,” one CBS News journalist told Breaker. “People are running to avoid her.”

Donald Trump's approval rating in our tracker has fallen to -18, the lowest it has ever been (lower than any point in his first term) www.economist.com/interactive/...

Chart showing Trump's net approval compared with this point in previous presidencies. In 2009, Obama's approval at this point was approximately +7, in 2017 Trump's was -16 and in 2021 Biden's was -7

The SNAP crisis seems like a floor falling out of loads of that infrastructure

how much of our various supply chains run on underpaid people who won’t be able to feed their families? We’ll find out shortly

Danilo, Juicero Aspect 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 13h

it’s the least important fact by far

But even American consumerism has fallen apart. “Express shipping” is just a tax on the gullible at this point

businesses can’t keep promises because of various breakdowns we can’t see

I do think with any new technology, a just transition is important and appropriate

so maybe we can do something for everyone who built an identity on being able to write regex from memory, this is a tough moment there

Don't say the second when you mean the first.

You genuinely can’t win a war if you tolerate too much doomer behavior. Public doomerism is shockingly socially corrosive.

it sucks that alongside civil libertarians, leftist futurism also went extinct in the Trump era, and now all popular futurism is explicitly fascist

We don’t know how to actually be in coalition together and fight for the rights that protect all of us to create a country we want. Our rights are sorely in need of a refresh and a fight. But we don’t take that fight as seriously as we could. We taking fighting each other much more seriously.

But all four of these groups can be seduced to use the tools of the right to get ahead of another member of the coalition. Often can see another part of the coalition as a bigger threat than the right - a fundamentally segregationist party.

I have a pet theory that the four parts of a pro-democracy coalition are class-based socialist, race/class/gender based socialists, Industrialists/Capitalists, and Identitarians. Those four groups are fighting the right (white nationalists/christian nationalists/plutocrats).

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1d

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

the ubiquitous technology that we all love and are dependent upon (the internet) also causes harm on a daily basis

you are not clean, your favorite technology is not pure, your heuristic for critiquing technology cannot hinge upon whether or not it causes harms

dame @dame.is · May 17

why are y’all using the internet and search engines? these are evil systems that consume enormous amounts of energy, spread CSAM, aid genocides, enable abuse/harassment, are filled with lies/misinformation/slop, and are used by fascists!

you should go to your local library and use the card catalog!
