It’s astounding that you can completely obliterate some people’s pretend morals and ethics by yelling at them.

I wrote this years ago because I wanted to explain MicroStrategy to people who forgot that Michael Saylor and his other execs committed accounting fraud.
It’s a good read (I might be biased).

This is a really good thread and, tbh, sounds a lot like my dealing with interns the last couple years.
I think LLMs are a super useful and good tool *for experts* but I can't see how at this point it's even remotely a question about giving them to non-experts or normies in the main.

This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures
