To say this is a problem is a gigantic understatement. We live in the golden age of AI slop. Hopefully we will soon gain the right control the algorithms that control our online life in order to filter out AI slop to a large degree.

Price of both gold (yellow) and stocks (sp500 in red) going up steeply. Perhaps both an AI and a gold bubble? 🤔 Markets are strange, and so is the economy in general. www.longtermtrends.net/stocks-vs-go...

"The only safe way to run LLM agents is to run them on someone else's computer." This is actually quite interesting, since to make this practical, one should be able to generate disposable credit cards, email accounts, etc for LLM:s as well. simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/22/...

Living dangerously with Claude

Jotenkin vaikea nähdä nykymaailmassa, että ihmiset siirtyisivät julkishallinnossa laajasti pois Windowsin, Officen, Teamsin jne käytöstä. Tietysti varmasti spesifejä käyttötapauksia voisi löytyä.

Bought a new one. Not sure if it does the same fading, but audio volume is super-loud even at the lowest settings. Sigh. Surprisingly difficult.

Interesting how commoditization makes general-purpose building blocks better. But at the same time, incentivises everyone to use those instead of specialised parts, since they are cheap, readily available and familiar. I'm sure there is a parallel to this in biological evolution.

I'm using a usb-c/headphone adapter for my wired headphones. Today I learned that a weird fade-in/fade-out I get in audio books is most likely caused by the cheap adapter. Sigh. Not something I expected.

Realised something almost obvious today: when a domain has matured, it is much more tempting to use ready-made components, since they are cheap and readily available, even if they are not perfect. But in new domains you may get to build ideal solutions, since there is nothing ready-made to use.

En siis edelleenkään aivan ymmärrä näiden kolmen esimerkin osalta, miksi pärjäsivät niin hyvin. Olisin kaikkien niiden osalta olettanut, että kilpailijat vievät — esim Nokian tai IBM:n tapaan — voiton. Brandi ja kuluttajat selittävät varmasti osan, yhdistettynä riittävän hyvään tuotteeseen.

Voi olla, että OpenAI on Amazonin, Googlen ja Bitcoinin kaltainen. Eli synnyttää markkinan, jossa ei pitäisi olla "vallihautaa" suojaamassa kilpailijoilta, mutta sitten kuitenkin jotenkin on jonkun winner-takes-all -dynamiikan vuoksi.

My statement on Ai from the mini-comic as syllabus i made for new class I'm teaching that starts tomorrow! It robs you of your decisions & struggles - and the joy of being surprised. We won’t to be robbed of our learning - this is essential. This & the full mini at post:
bsky.app/profile/nsou...

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

And strict immigration and border control as well, of course.

I wonder how many people die globally due to the current right-wing politics in the U.S.? Gaza, vaccination and climate change policies, gun laws, and also increase in military spending all over the world due to escalation (and away from healthcare, welfare, etc). Must be millons.

I don't know, I assume it is some standard CoL measure. As a liberal, Warsaw is probably quite nice if you find a bubble of your own there. A lot more expensive than the countryside for sure though.
