The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

This is what I thought, for over a year, that state & local governments would do. Hiding #AI use behind the human that prompts is not going to cut it. Audit trails are required. The randomness these tools require to operate mandates no less. Transparency & accountability require regulation.
Under a new California law, all official reports by state law enforcement agencies prepared with the help of AI now require a statement explicitly saying so—and require an audit trail.

I want to drive a dump truck of cow manure to the Microsoft headquarters and drop it off in the lobby as a thank you.
They didn't ask for it, they didn't want it, but maybe they can figure out how to get rid of it.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

And this is why I prefer "predictive models"
A predictive model trained on weather data predicting weather data? Can be useful
Put weather words into a text prediction model and it will predict weather words because it doesn't understand anything

This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology.
Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

Meteorologists are surprised that the weather model that did the best job forecasting hurricanes this year was a new one, introduced by Google. AI may be the beginning of a new era of forecasting. n.pr/49MFa1M
