In discussion with a computer scientist from the University of Cambridge last night:

Me: "you've described some of the things that AI is good at. How would you describe the category of things it's not good at?

**pause**

Him: "Anything where it has to be right".

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

it's crazy that being like "how do i explain gay couples to my kids?" isn't an unthinkably embarrassing to say in 2025. it's actually incredibly easy to explain, that should be like indignantly saying "how am I supposed to explain to my kids where the sun goes at night? did a bird steal it?!"

Did I offend you? Try seeing things from my perspective. Narrow-minded, misinformed, frightened.

Yes if we lived in a different world then who cares about some new computer thing, but we live in a world where like 5 companies are doing everything they can every day to fuck us constantly and they are the ones pushing the "we're going to fuck you" machine most enthusiastically. No thanks!
its frustrating because like... i don't think AI tools are automatically of the devil or anything. i think if we had an entirely different kind of society, i wouldn't be as upset about it. maybe we'd have better AI tools. but we have the society we have, and the tech industry is the way that it is

Yesterday, someone in my office told his manager he asked ChatGPT about a scientific thing, and her immediate response was "Jesus fucking christ" and I just started laughing.

Has there been a legal case yet to set legal precedent about whether companies are responsible for when their LLMs hallucinate dangerous lies yet? I would 100% sue if I were these guys
