“Well-meaning” people are using machine translation to write Wikipedia articles in languages that they don’t speak themselves, accelerating the degeneration in quality of the web corpus for several languages with relatively few native speakers.

How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral

Machine translators have made it easier than ever to create error-plagued Wikipedia articles in obscure languages. What happens when AI models get trained on junk pages?

If you can't handle me at my "to each according to need" then you don't deserve me at my "from each according to ability".

IMHO, LLMs will be an economic negative for years.

They'll do a worse job than humans,

but will still replace humans because they're cheaper for employers,

but really they're costlier, it's just that lots of costs get externalized to society by our horrible energy/tax policies.

Lose-lose-lose.

The Real AI Risk is ‘Meh’ Technology That Takes Jobs and Annoys Us All

While AI doomsday scenarios dwell on the risks posed by superintelligent robot overlords, one Nobel-Prize winning economist fears a more mundane possibility.

A retro-style image featuring a person wearing a glossy black motorcycle helmet and leather jacket, reflected computer screen and keyboard visible in the visor. The background is filled with purple lightning and neon streaks, evoking 1980s sci-fi aesthetics. At the top, bold text reads “Y’ALL EVER JUST POST SOME BULLSHIT,” and below a yellow sticker-like badge on the left that says “ON THE STUPID" and then neon script that says “Fucking INTERNET?” The overall design parodies vintage magazine or VHS art.

There's no "quiet part" to say out loud anymore, they're just actively organizing in public and destroying all the institutions that could stand in the way (paper tigers though they were)

That dual-move of massive reinvestment in AI and robotics during unemployment would probably result in worsening general conditions for most workers.

Elgee Beatty, CPA @jellywish.bsky.social · 20d

would focus investment on real assets (e.g. commodities, utilities, infrastructure and land) and industrial sectors like automation that businesses strapped for cash will turn to after laying off as much of their workforce as possible.

Elgee Beatty, CPA @jellywish.bsky.social · 20d

Today's central banks are dramatically more interventionist, so you'd expect the opposite macro-effects (i.e. huge inflation) as a result of intervention, which means cash and T-bills would be a bad move. It seems like a modern investor concerned about a potential depression…

Elgee Beatty, CPA @jellywish.bsky.social · 20d

If you were an investor as the Great Depression was beginning, the smart move would've been to preserve purchasing power to time re-entry. It made sense to hold cash, or buy Tbills or gold. Mining, real estate and blue-chip industrial equity were the best survivors.

No Leftist would write “if you’re reading this you’re gay” because *Leftists don’t make gay jokes like this*

He was irony-poisoned to the point of nihilism and apoliticality (fascism)

Countless conservatives lust after transwomen (“traps”) and it damn certainly does NOT imply progressive politics

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements."

Really meant,

"For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Foldable phones are a bad idea: more parts that can break, on an already fragile device, with not a big-enough screen to justify the tradeoffs. Instead, make it easy to plug the phone into a monitor to be your computer when you get to a desk!
